Hobbies can develop their interests and they can also help them learn new skills. David Smith is a student, and his hobby is writing. During the summer of 2000, he spent four weeks on 2 summer camp. As well as the usual 3 (activity), such as sailing, climbing and mountain biking, there was a writing workshop with a professional writer. Students 4 (ask) to imagine that they were in a story. Then they wrote about their experiences at the camp. In senior high school David wrote a story 5 teenage life, and it came out as a book in 2003. Many teenagers love this book, and as a result, David became a 6 (success) young writer. David has been very lucky 7 his hobby has brought him enjoyment and success, and he is also interested in many other things like playing volleyball and so on. “I spend some of my free time playing volleyball for my school team. Maybe I 8 (write) more books in the future,” said David. It’s sometimes difficult 9 (remember) that we shouldn’t spend all our time on our favorite hobbies. There are many interesting things appearing in 10 (we) life, and we should try to do something new or different. 【答案】1. be allowed 2. a 3. activities 4. were asked 5. about 6 . successful 7. because 8. will write 9. to remember 10. our 【解析】本文主要讲述了青少年应该被允许发展爱好，以David Smith为例，说明爱好能带来乐趣与成功，同时也提醒人们不要只专注于单一爱好，要尝试新事物。 1. 句意：青少年应该被允许发展他们的爱好。Teenagers和allow是被动关系，“should”后接“be+过去分词”，allow的过去分词是allowed。故填be allowed。 2. 句意：2000年夏天，他在一个夏令营待了四周。summer camp是可数名词单数，此处表泛指，且summer以辅音音素开头，用不定冠词a。故填a。 3. 句意：除了常见的活动，比如帆船、攀岩和山地自行车，还有一个和专业作家一起的写作工作坊。根据“such as sailing, climbing and mountain biking”可知是多种活动，activity用复数形式activities。故填activities。 4. 句意：学生们被要求想象他们身处一个故事中。Students和ask是被动关系，结合上下文可知时态是一般过去时，一般过去时的被动语态were+过去分词，ask的过去分词是asked。故填were asked。 5. 句意：高中时David写了一个关于青少年生活的故事。根据“a story...teenage life”可知，此处表示“关于”，用介词about。故填about。 6. 句意：David成了一名成功的年轻作家。修饰名词writer，用success的形容词形式successful“成功的”。故填successful。 7. 句意：David很幸运，因为他的爱好给他带来了乐趣和成功，而且他还对其他许多事物感兴趣，比如打排球等等。根据“David has been very lucky...his hobby has brought him enjoyment and success”可知，此处表因果关系，用连词because引导原因状语从句。故填because。 8. 句意：也许我将来会写更多的书。根据in the future可知用一般将来时，结构为will+动词原形。故填will write。 9. 句意：有时很难记住我们不应该把所有时间都花在最喜欢的爱好上。It’s+形容词+to do sth.是固定句型，此处用动词不定式to remember。故填to remember。 10. 句意：我们的生活中出现了很多有趣的事情。修饰名词life，用we的形容词性物主代词our“我们的”。故填our。 七、语法选择 Living and dealing with kids can be a difficult job these days. However, living and dealing with parents can be even 1 . Since I became a junior high school student, I 2 that communication is very important. With any relationship, you need to let 3 people know your feelings. If you are not able to communicate, things will become bad. If you are mad at your parents and avoid 4 to them, it won’t help. If you look up the word “communication” in a dictionary, it will say “the exchange of ideas and information. “ 5 a good relationship, you must improve communication skills. Let people know your feelings, even if it's just by writing a note. If you are trying to make your parents see something as you see it,tell them that you'll listen to what they say, and ask them 6 to listen to you. Then they may understand you better. Walking away only makes the situation worse. Here is 7 example. One night, Sophie went to a street party with her friends. She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks, but she felt 8 would be rude of her to leave first. As a result, she got home late. Her parents were angry at first, but when Sophie explained 9 she was late, they weren’ so mad. Communication is the key to a good relationship. Problems can only 10 with communication.

During their visit, the conversation turned to work. The graduates were 1 about their problems and stress in work and in life. After putting a pot of coffee on the table, the professor went to the kitchen and came back with a tray, crowded with many 2 cups: porcelain, glass, plastic and crystal. Some cups were simple, other ones were expensive. The professor asked them to pick out their cups first. When the graduates picked out their favorite cups, the professor 3 , “Notice how all the beautiful cups were picked out and the simple and cheap ones were left.” “Wanting only the best things for yourself 4 your problems and stress. You need to understand that the cup doesn’t make the coffee better. 5 , all that you wanted was the coffee, not the cup.” But you consciously 6   the best cups, and then looked to see what cups others picked. “Your 7 is the coffee. Your job, money, position in society...they are the cups. The type of cup doesn’t decide the quality of life. Sometimes, by focusing only on the cups, we forget to 8 the coffee. The 9 people are not those who have the best things, but those who enjoy life and make the most of what they have” Hearing this, the graduates were speechless. They had learned another important life lesson from their old professor-that true happiness means enjoying life and not worrying about 10 things. 1. A. thinking B. complaining C. learning D. worrying 2. A. different B. expensive C. cheap D. simple 3. A. shouted B. reported C. answered D. explained 4. A. cares for B. gets to C. leads to D. asks for 5. A. Luckily B. Finally C. Honestly D. Actually 6. A. bought B. chose C. brought D. decided 7. A. purpose B. life C. work D. study 8.

C 【来源】广东省广州市越秀区第七中学2024-2025学年九年级上学期Unit 4单元测英语试卷 【解析】本文讲述教授借杯子与咖啡的故事，教导毕业生生活本质是享受生命，而非过度关注外在物质，从而获得真正的幸福。 【详解】1. 句意：毕业生们抱怨他们在工作和生活中的问题和压力。 根据“about their problems and stress”及固定搭配“complain about”（抱怨），可知此处指毕业生们在发牢骚。thinking“思考”，learning“学习”，worrying“担心”语义不通。 2. 句意：教授拿回一个托盘，上面堆满了不同的杯子：陶瓷的、玻璃的、塑料的和水晶的。 根据后文列举的多种材质“porcelain, glass, plastic and crystal”可知，杯子种类多样。expensive“昂贵的”，cheap“便宜的”，simple“简单的”均片面。 3. 句意：当毕业生们挑选出他们最喜欢的杯子时，教授解释说，“注意，所有漂亮的杯子都被挑走了……” 根据前文教授让学生选杯子以及后文阐述道理的行为，可知教授是在解释现象。shouted“喊叫”，reported“报道”语气或场景不符，answered“回答”通常用于回答问题，不符合语境。 4. 句意：只想要最好的东西会给你带来问题和压力。 根据句子逻辑，“Wanting only the best things”是原因，“problems and stress”是结果。“leads to”意为导致，符合因果逻辑。cares for“照顾”，gets to“到达”，asks for“请求”均无法连接因果。 5. 句意：事实上，你想要的只是咖啡，而不是杯子。 根据语境，教授在揭示一个被忽视的真相。“Actually”意为实际上，用于引出事实。Luckily“幸运地”，Finally“最后”逻辑不通，Honestly“诚实地”侧重态度，不符合语境。 6. 句意：但是你有意识地选择了最好的杯子，然后看看其他人选择了什么杯子。 根据前文“picked out their favorite cups”可知，此处指挑选动作。“chose”与“picked”同义，符合语境。bought“买”，chose“选择”动作未发生，decided“决定”侧重心理决定。 7. 句意：你的生活是咖啡。 根据后文“The type of cup doesn’t decide the quality of life”可知，杯子对应外在条件，咖啡对应生活本身。purpose“目的”，work“工作”，study“学习”范围过窄。 8. 句意：有时候，只关注杯子，我们忘记品尝咖啡。 根据隐喻，咖啡代表生活，“taste”不仅指喝，更指品味和享受，符合“enjoy life”的主旨。buy“买”，understand“理解”语义不通；“drink”仅指动作，缺乏情感色彩。 9. 句意：最幸福的人不是那些拥有最好的东西的人，而是那些享受生活……的人。 根据文章结尾“true happiness”可知，全文讨论的是幸福观。simplest“最简单的”，richest“最富有的”，luckiest“最幸运的”偏离主题，只有happiest“最幸福的”契合文章中心思想。 10. 句意：真正的幸福意味着享受生活，不为无关紧要的事情担心。 根据主旨，工作、金钱等外在事物相比生命是次要的。“unimportant”意为不重要的，符合语境。unknown“未知的”，unusual“不寻常的”，unlucky“不幸的”无法体现主次关系。 九、阅读理解 A ①Does every dinner with your parents seem to turn into an argument (争吵)? Have your once warm conversations become cold? You are not alone. Heated arguments and cold silences are common between teenagers and their parents. ②Teenagers’ physical changes may cause such family problems. You may feel worried that you are developing at a different speed to your friends, shooting up in height or getting left far behind. You might worry about your changing voice and weight problems. When it all gets too much, your parents are often the first you want to get angry with. ③It can be a big headache to balance your developing mental needs too. You enter a strange middle ground—no longer a small child but not quite an adult. You hate to depend on your parents but have a continued need for their love and support. You feel ready to make decisions on your own. Unfortunately, your parents do not always agree and that makes you feel unhappy. On the other hand, when you are trying to control your feelings, you wish they could be more caring and patient—sometimes they forget that growing up is a hard time. It can be difficult when your parents treat you like a child but expect you to act like an adult. All of this can cause a breakdown in your relationship. ④The key to keeping the peace is regular (有规律的) and honest communication. When you disagree with your parents, take a minute to calm down and try to understand the situation from their point of view. Perhaps they have experienced something similar and do not want you to go through the same pain. Explain your actions and feelings calmly, listen carefully, and make them free from worries. Through this kind of healthy discussion, you will learn when to back down and when to ask your parents to relax their control. ⑤Just remember that it is common to fight with the stress and that you and your parents can work together to improve your relationship. The good news is that this stormy time will not last. Everything will turn out all right in the end, and the changes and challenges of your teenage years will prepare you for your future. 1.

A 2. C 3. B 4. C 5. A 【来源】山东省济南市长清区2025-2026学年九年级上学期期中测试英语试卷 【知识点】青少年问题、说明文、家庭关系 【解析】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨了青少年与父母之间产生冲突的原因，并提出了通过沟通来改善关系的建议，鼓励青少年积极面对成长的挑战。 【详解】1. 第一段提出两个问题：“Does every dinner with your parents seem to turn into an argument? Have your once warm conversations become cold?”，作者通过这两个贴近生活的问题引出文章关于“青少年与父母关系紧张”这一话题。 2. 第三段指出：“Unfortunately, your parents do not always agree and that makes you feel unhappy.”，这里的“that”指代前一句提到的“your parents do not always agree”，即父母的不一致意见或反对。 3. 第四段主要谈论：“The key to keeping the peace is regular and honest communication.”，接着列举了冷静下来、换位思考、解释感受等具体做法，因此该段主要讲的是如何与父母保持良好的关系。 4. 分析文章结构：第一段总起，提出青少年与父母易产生矛盾的现象；第二、三段并列，分别从生理、心理角度分析矛盾出现的原因；第四段给出化解矛盾的沟通方法；第五段收尾段，在原因、解决方法全部讲完后进行总结安慰。 5. 最后一段说明：“Just remember that it is common to fight with the stress... Everything will turn out all right in the end”，作者意在告诉读者这种困难时期是常见的且终将过去，未来的挑战会为将来做准备，因此文章的主要目的是鼓励青少年度过这段困难时期。 B阅读还原 “The only constant (不变) in life is change,” Heraclitus said in about 500 B. C. That could be truer today. 1 Technology is out of date almost by the time you buy it. We get plenty of information every day. Francis Bacon said, “Knowledge is power.” In fact, there is more information in a newspaper than he would have experienced in his whole life. Why are we afraid of change? 2 After all, who knows what new dangers might appear? However, change is also the only way of development. Nobody can stop it in life. Luckily, our brains become stronger when meeting the unknown. 3 To be more imaginative and creative, you should look for and find environments you have no experience with. 4 For example, try a new restaurant, or go to a play or a concert you normally wouldn’t attend. Small change can help you gradually get used to uncertainty. So when bigger things happen, you’ll be more fully prepared for them. People who fear change often stick to a certain lifestyle. They believe they can control the future by doing so. 5 If you can move from just accepting it to actively finding it out and dealing with it, you will be successful. A. That’s because our brains want to protect us. B. But change comes whether you ask for it or not. C. We live in a world that is changing every minute. D. You can learn how to face the changes in daily life. E. Dealing with the unexpected needs imagination and creativity. 【答案】1. C 2. A 3. E 4. D 5. B 【知识点】哲理感悟、说明文 【解析】本文主要介绍了随着科技发展，世界变化越来越快，人们应该去主动迎接变化，体现了主动应变的精神。 1. 根据第一段开头“The only constant in life is change”，可知文章的主题是改变，C项“We live in a world that is changing every minute”(我们生活在一个每分钟都在变化的世界里)呼应开头。 2. 上文提到“Why are we afraid of change?”(为什么我们害怕改变？)，空白处应填答语，A项“That’s because our brains want to protect us”(因为我们的大脑想要保护我们)符合上下文逻辑。 3. 下文提到“To be more imaginative and creative...”，说明空白处提到了imagination和creativity，E项“Dealing with the unexpected needs imagination and creativity”符合。 4. 下文给出的例子“For example, try a new restaurant...”属于现实生活中常见的情况，D项“You can learn how to face the changes in daily life”中的“daily life”与下文例子直接对应，且“learn how to face”为下文具体做法提供总起。 5. 上文讲述害怕变化的人会固守某种生活方式，下文“If you can move from just accepting it to actively finding it out and dealing with it, you will be successful”表达了如果你能主动应变，就会成功的文章主旨，因此本空需要一个过渡句，指出“无论你是否主动，变化都会到来”。B项“But change comes whether you ask for it or not”既承接上文对“害怕变化者”的描述，又为下文的“主动应变”提供对比前提，逻辑完整。 C阅读回答问题 Do you often put off your homework until the last minute? If so, you might be a procrastinator. Procrastination (拖延症)is a common problem for many students. It means putting off tasks that need to be done until later, even though you know it might cause trouble. So why do students procrastinate? Some tasks are too difficult, so students avoid them. Also, there are many distractions (分散注意力的事物)around them, like smartphones and social media, which make it easy to waste time. According to a recent study, students who don’t do their work on time often feel more stressed (紧张的) and worried. It causes them to have worse sleep quality and poor health. What’s more, when everything is left until the last minute, students have to work in a hurry. This often results in more mistakes and lower grades on average. Luckily, there are ways to fight procrastination. Experts suggest breaking down big tasks into smaller steps. This makes the work seem less scary and easier to start. You can set a clear deadline (截止期限)for each step. After you finish it, give yourself a small reward (奖励)—this can also help. Another useful tip is to create a study environment that is free from distractions. For example, you can turn off your phone or reduce screen time while studying. Besides, when your mind is fresh, you should do the most challenging task first. By learning to manage time and tasks well, students can overcome procrastination. This will not only lead to better grades but also reduce stress and create more free time for hobbies and relaxation. 1. What are the distractions mentioned in Paragraph 2? 2. How do students who don’t do their work on time often feel? 3. What do experts advise us to do with big tasks? 4. What should we do when our minds are fresh? 5. Give another tip to help us stop procrastination. (Your answer should be different from the tips in the text.) 【答案】1. Smartphones and social media. 2. They often feel more stressed and worried. 3. Break down big tasks into smaller steps. 4. We should do the most challenging task first. 5. We can ask our parents or friends to remind us to finish tasks on time./We can make a daily study plan and stick to it. 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了学生拖延症的定义、产生原因、带来的危害以及克服拖延症的具体建议。 1. 根据文章第2段“Also, there are many distractions around them, like smartphones and social media.”可知文中提到的分散注意力的事物是智能手机和社交媒体，答案是原文直接信息。 2. 根据文章第3段“students who don't do their work on time often feel more stressed and worried.”可知这些学生经常感到更焦虑和担忧，这是原文中的直接信息。 3. 根据文章第4段“Experts suggest breaking down big tasks into smaller steps.”可知专家建议将大任务分解成小步骤，是原文直接给出的专家建议。 4. 根据文章第4段“when your mind is fresh, you should do the most challenging task first.”可知头脑清醒时应先做最具挑战性的任务，答案为原文直接引述。 5. 本题为开放性问题，要求提出文中未提及的建议，合理即可。 （26·深圳一模） You wake up in the morning. The day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time. Then the telephone rings, you say hello, and the play starts. The person on the other end has a sad tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to. You are still in a wonderful mood? Impossible! Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness. It may not change what you think, but communicating long enough with them will make you feel unhappy for a moment or a long time. Life brings ups and downs, but some people are trapped in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer. They only feel glad when they make others feel bad. It is not strange that they can hardly win others’ pity or respect. When you communicate with happy people, you will stay happy. When the knife of a negative person is put in you, you feel the heavy feeling that, all in all, brings you down. Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people. This could be a co-worker or a relative. In this situation, say what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to the negative person, but all this cannot reduce your bad feelings and they won’t feel ashamed of themselves about that. Unhappiness often affects (影响) happiness without even being realized.

With any relationship, you need to let 3 people know your feelings. If you are not able to communicate, things will become bad. If you are mad at your parents and avoid 4 to them, it won’t help. If you look up the word “communication” in a dictionary, it will say “the exchange of ideas and information. “ 5 a good relationship, you must improve communication skills. Let people know your feelings, even if it's just by writing a note. If you are trying to make your parents see something as you see it,tell them that you'll listen to what they say, and ask them 6 to listen to you. Then they may understand you better. Walking away only makes the situation worse. Here is 7 example. One night, Sophie went to a street party with her friends. She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks, but she felt 8 would be rude of her to leave first. As a result, she got home late. Her parents were angry at first, but when Sophie explained 9 she was late, they weren’ so mad. Communication is the key to a good relationship. Problems can only 10 with communication. So just keep it in mind: if you get into a situation like Sophie's, tell your parents how you feel. 1. A. difficult B. more difficult C. most difficult D. the most difficult 2.

The graduates were 1 about their problems and stress in work and in life. After putting a pot of coffee on the table, the professor went to the kitchen and came back with a tray, crowded with many 2 cups: porcelain, glass, plastic and crystal. Some cups were simple, other ones were expensive. The professor asked them to pick out their cups first. When the graduates picked out their favorite cups, the professor 3 , “Notice how all the beautiful cups were picked out and the simple and cheap ones were left.” “Wanting only the best things for yourself 4 your problems and stress. You need to understand that the cup doesn’t make the coffee better. 5 , all that you wanted was the coffee, not the cup.” But you consciously 6   the best cups, and then looked to see what cups others picked. “Your 7 is the coffee. Your job, money, position in society...they are the cups. The type of cup doesn’t decide the quality of life. Sometimes, by focusing only on the cups, we forget to 8 the coffee. The 9 people are not those who have the best things, but those who enjoy life and make the most of what they have” Hearing this, the graduates were speechless. They had learned another important life lesson from their old professor-that true happiness means enjoying life and not worrying about 10 things. 1.

Heated arguments and cold silences are common between teenagers and their parents. ②Teenagers’ physical changes may cause such family problems. You may feel worried that you are developing at a different speed to your friends, shooting up in height or getting left far behind. You might worry about your changing voice and weight problems. When it all gets too much, your parents are often the first you want to get angry with. ③It can be a big headache to balance your developing mental needs too. You enter a strange middle ground—no longer a small child but not quite an adult. You hate to depend on your parents but have a continued need for their love and support. You feel ready to make decisions on your own. Unfortunately, your parents do not always agree and that makes you feel unhappy. On the other hand, when you are trying to control your feelings, you wish they could be more caring and patient—sometimes they forget that growing up is a hard time. It can be difficult when your parents treat you like a child but expect you to act like an adult. All of this can cause a breakdown in your relationship. ④The key to keeping the peace is regular (有规律的) and honest communication. When you disagree with your parents, take a minute to calm down and try to understand the situation from their point of view. Perhaps they have experienced something similar and do not want you to go through the same pain. Explain your actions and feelings calmly, listen carefully, and make them free from worries. Through this kind of healthy discussion, you will learn when to back down and when to ask your parents to relax their control. ⑤Just remember that it is common to fight with the stress and that you and your parents can work together to improve your relationship. The good news is that this stormy time will not last. Everything will turn out all right in the end, and the changes and challenges of your teenage years will prepare you for your future. 1. The writer asked two questions in Paragraph 1 to ________. A. introduce a subject B. give examples C. solve a problem D. tell stories 2. What does “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to (指)？ A.

How to keep a good relationship with parents. C. Why teenagers dislike their parents’ decisions. D. The differences between teenagers and adults. 4. Which of the following is the structure (结构) of the passage? A. B. C. D. 5. The purpose of the passage is mainly ________. A. to encourage teenagers to get through a difficult time B. to describe family problems between teenagers and parents C. to introduce some ways to solve the family problems D. to explain possible reasons of a difficult time B阅读还原 “The only constant (不变) in life is change,” Heraclitus said in about 500 B. C. That could be truer today. 1 Technology is out of date almost by the time you buy it. We get plenty of information every day. Francis Bacon said, “Knowledge is power.” In fact, there is more information in a newspaper than he would have experienced in his whole life. Why are we afraid of change? 2 After all, who knows what new dangers might appear? However, change is also the only way of development. Nobody can stop it in life. Luckily, our brains become stronger when meeting the unknown. 3 To be more imaginative and creative, you should look for and find environments you have no experience with. 4 For example, try a new restaurant, or go to a play or a concert you normally wouldn’t attend. Small change can help you gradually get used to uncertainty. So when bigger things happen, you’ll be more fully prepared for them. People who fear change often stick to a certain lifestyle. They believe they can control the future by doing so. 5 If you can move from just accepting it to actively finding it out and dealing with it, you will be successful. A. That’s because our brains want to protect us. B. But change comes whether you ask for it or not. C. We live in a world that is changing every minute. D. You can learn how to face the changes in daily life. E. Dealing with the unexpected needs imagination and creativity. C阅读回答问题 Do you often put off your homework until the last minute?
