Many teens like 15-year-old Li Ming feel upset when talking to parents—he often argues 1 his mom about homework and phone use. “They never listen to my ideas,” Li Ming said,“I just want more freedom.” This kind of argument is common. Parents often worry about their kids’ safety and grades, so they keep asking about school life. But teens think parents are too strict; some even hide 2 (they) feelings instead of talking. Over time, the gap between them grows 3 (wide)—they have fewer and fewer calm conversations. Last month, Li Ming’s class had a meeting about family communication. The teacher shared 4 useful tip: “Listen first, then speak.” Li Ming tried it. One evening, when his dad asked about his test, he didn’t get angry. Instead, he said, “I 5 (use) to practice math every evening, but now I have been trying more efficient ways to improve it.” His dad nodded and shared his own school stories. For the 6 (one) time in weeks, they talked   (peaceful) for an hour. Experts say both sides need to make efforts. Teens can ask parents 8 they can have more independence in making small decisions. Parents can give teens more space and avoid blaming. Even small talk can close the gap between family members by 9 (learn) to understand each other. 10 important advice!

But those 1 behave badly in a classroom environment are not necessarily bad at heart. Some children may have difficult experiences in their home lives, and some may never 2 how to behave properly. Sometimes children like this are much 3 than they seem. 4 children might behave badly for a more positive (积极的) reason — they do not pay attention in the classroom because what they are learning is not difficult enough for them. A popular way for parents to deal with “problem children” is 5 them to summer camps. At these camps, the children are forced to improve their behaviour under strict rules, in order not to be punished. However, such programs usually only have a short-term effect. A more effective choice might be a program which helps children develop new interests. Comedy (喜剧) Camp tries to do just that. At Comedy Camp, professional comedians train children and help them 6 their confidence by performing on stage. Children get a chance to try different forms of comedy: stand-up, skits (滑稽短剧), monologues (独白), impersonation (模仿) and so on.

D 【解析】本文主要讲有些年轻人行为不良，老师和父母都觉得这是个问题，父母为了解决这个问题会让孩子们参加夏令营来改善行为，然而效果只是短期的，还有个更有效的选择，就是帮助孩子们发展新的兴趣，喜剧营试图通过让孩子们在舞台上表演来帮助他们改善行为。 1. 句意：但是，在课堂环境中表现不好的孩子并不一定是心理不好。 who先行词指人，且在从句中作主语或宾语；whom先行词指人，且在从句中作宾语；which先行词指物，且在从句中作主语或宾语；whose先行词指人，且在从句中作定语。空前先行词children指人，且在从句中作主语，用who引导定语从句。故选A。 2. 句意：有些孩子可能在他们的家庭生活中有困难的经历，而有些可能永远不会被教导如何举止得体。 have taught现在完成时；teach动词原形；be teaching进行时；be taught被动语态。主语some与动词teach之间是动宾关系，要用被动语态，其结构为be done。故选D。 3. 句意：有时像这样的孩子比他们看起来要聪明得多。 smart形容词原级；smarter形容词比较级；more smart错误搭配；the smartest形容词最高级前加the。根据空后“than”可知是两者对比，用形容词比较级smarter。故选B。 4. 句意：其他孩子表现不佳的原因可能是积极的——他们在课堂上没有集中注意力，因为他们所学的东西对他们来说还不够难。 Others其他人或物；The other两者中的另一个；Other其他的；Another泛指的另一个。空后“children”是复数，other后接复数表示“其他的”孩子们。故选C。 5. 句意：父母处理“问题孩子”的一种流行方式是送他们去夏令营。 being sent动名词的被动式；to send动词不定式；sent动词过去式或过去分词；send动词原形。is后不接动词原形，排除D；根据“A popular way”可知is后是说解决问题的方法，不表示被动，排除AC；此处用动词不定式to send作表语。故选B。 6. 句意：在喜剧营，专业的喜剧演员通过舞台表演训练孩子，帮助他们培养自信。 develop动词原形；developed动词的过去式或过去分词；developing动名词或动词的现在分词；development名词。help sb. do sth.“帮助某人做某事”，此处用动词原形（省略to的不定式）。故选A。 7. 句意：然后他们选择一首曲子来练习，直到他们能够很好地演奏。 before在……之前；when当……时候；because因为；until直到……为止。根据“practise it ... they can perform it well”可知是要练习这首曲子直到能很好地演奏，用until引导时间状语从句。故选D。 8. 句意：课程结束后，孩子们上台表演，展示他们的成长。 To the end直到最后；In the end最后；At the end of在……末尾；By the end of到……结束时。根据“... the course, children perform on stage to show how much they have grown. ”可知，空后有名词“the course”，要选带of的短语，排除BD；此处表示在课程的末尾，用At the end of符合题意。故选C。 9. 句意：课程结束后，孩子们上台表演，展示他们成长了多少。 how much多少；how many多少，后接可数名词复数；how far多远；how long多长时间。根据“they have grown”可知此处用much修饰have grown，宾语从句是以how开头的感叹句，故选A。 10. 句意：希望他们能以一种新的兴趣结束这门课程。 finished动词的过去式或过去分词；have finished现在完成时；are finishing现在进行时；will finish一般将来时。根据“Hopefully”可知父母希望他们将以一种新的兴趣结束课程，要用一般将来时，其结构为will do。故选D。 七、阅读理解 A “Love You, Old Self”—this simple sentence has become a warm thing and a popular phrase among young people in China. When they post photos of home-cooked food or morning coffee with these words, they turn small daily things into a shared way of being kind to themselves. People say it is one of the kindest trends, and it touches many people deeply. It is more than just a saying. It makes the unclear idea of taking care of oneself become real. It gives comfort when people feel stressed and celebrates small happy moments. The key is to call oneself “Old Self”—a friendly name that lets people step back and talk to themselves kindly, just as they would to a close friend. This trend is popular for a reason. Today’s young people face a lot of pressure, such as non-stop exams and strong competition for university places and jobs. For example, a high school student in Beijing writes “Love You, Old Self” in her notebook to calm down after a hard exam. In such situations, being gently kind to oneself has become an important way to deal with pressure. Importantly, this is not an excuse to avoid difficulties. Instead, it helps people build more courage to get through hard times. To say “Love You, Old Self” means to recognize one’s own efforts, to allow oneself to rest when needed, and thus find a healthy balance. It is a cheap but useful way to keep emotions stable. It also changes where strength comes from—from others’ praise to believing in oneself. In the end, by being kind to themselves, young people are better able to deal with outside pressure. This gentle and steady power helps them find inner peace and shows a true fact: to really care for others, you must first be kind to yourself. 1. According to the passage, how does “Love You, Old Self” help young people? A. It helps them win more competitions. B. It helps them make good friends. C. It helps them deal with pressure and find balance. D. It helps them get into a good university. 2. What can we know about “Love You, Old Self” from the passage? A. It is an expensive way to relax and reduce stress. B. It means avoiding all the difficulties in daily life. C. It helps young people find inner peace and face pressure better. D. It only needs to be done when people get good exam results. 3. Which of the following is NOT a reason why the trend is popular? A. Young people face a lot of pressure. B. It is a way to avoid difficulties. C. It helps young people find inner peace. D. It gives young people a way to care for themselves. 4. Which of the following sentences is right? A. The phrase “Love You, Old Self” can help them make more new friends. B. The phrase shows they are old enough to take care of themselves. C. The trend of “Love You, Old Self” makes the idea of self-care become real. D. The phrase makes young people become lazy and not want to face hard times. 5. What is the main idea of the passage? A. How to take good care of oneself. B. The importance of being kind to oneself. C. The pressure that Chinese young people face. D. The popularity and benefits of a self-care trend. 【答案】1. C 2. C 3. B 4. C 5. D 【来源】2026年广东深圳市富源学校集团九年级英语中考考前模拟考试卷 【知识点】哲理感悟、青少年问题、说明文 【解析】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国年轻人中流行的“Love You, Old Self”这一说法，阐述了它如何帮助年轻人应对压力、关爱自我，并说明了这种善待自己的理念能让人更好地面对外部压力、找到内心平静。 1. 根据第三段“being gently kind to oneself has become an important way to deal with pressure”和第四段“thus find a healthy balance”可知，该短语帮助年轻人应对压力并找到平衡。 2. 文章最后一段提到“by being kind to themselves, young people are better able to deal with outside pressure. This gentle and steady power helps them find inner peace”，与选项C“It helps young people find inner peace and face pressure better.”一致。 3. 根据第四段“Importantly, this is not an excuse to avoid difficulties”可知，逃避困难并不是该趋势流行的原因。A、C、D项均在文中提到是其流行或有益的原因。 4. 文章第二段提到“It makes the unclear idea of taking care of oneself become real”，与选项C“The trend of “Love You, Old Self” makes the idea of self-care become real.”完全对应。A项文中未提及结交新朋友；B项Old Self是昵称而非指年龄；D项与文中build more courage相反。 5. 通读全文可知，文章第一段介绍了“Love You, Old Self”这一短语的流行，中间段落分析了其流行的原因及具体益处，最后一段总结。D项“The popularity and benefits of a self-care trend. ”最能概括全文主旨。 B 阅读还原 Everybody knows how important it is for students to get a good sleep every night. You are not able to do your best unless you sleep well. Most experts agree that our bodies need eight hours of sleep every night, and this has been accepted as common knowledge for a long time. 1 I read an interesting article in a teachers’ magazine recently. They did a study of 848 students. 2 While most of them go to bed and get up at regular times, many are now waking up at night. It’s not because they need to use the bathroom or have a snack. It’s because of something new called FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). 3 They’re scared of missing messages or fun group chats. But every time they do this, their deep sleep—the kind that repairs the body and brain—gets broken like a movie suddenly stopped. 4 The study found something even worse: Teens who check social media at night are three times more likely to feel sad or worried compared to those who sleep through the night. So, I’d like to ask you to be responsible for yourself. Take control! Turn off your mobile phones and computers at night. Don’t worry about missing messages. 5 I give you my word that you won’t miss anything important. A. The study showed teenagers have a new challenge. B. As a result, they lose the most important hours of rest. C. Your friends will be waiting to greet you in the morning! D. In the study, students wake up at around 2 or 3 a.m. to check their phones. E. However, I was young once and I know most of you get much less sleep than that. 【答案】1. E 2. A 3. D 4. B 5. C 【知识点】科普知识、青少年问题、说明文 【解析】本文是一篇议论文，指出学生充足睡眠的重要性，通过一项研究发现青少年因“错失恐惧症（FOMO）”夜间频繁查看手机，导致深度睡眠被打断、情绪受影响，最终建议学生夜间关闭电子设备，保证睡眠。 1. 前文讲“专家认为身体每晚需要8小时睡眠，这是常识”，E项“However, I was young once and I know most of you get much less sleep than that.”用“however”转折，引出学生睡眠不足的现状，衔接后文的研究内容。 2. 前文讲“对848名学生做了研究”，后文讲“很多人夜间醒来是因为FOMO”，A项“The study showed teenagers have a new challenge.”总述研究结果，引出后文的“新挑战”（FOMO）。 3. 前文讲“FOMO导致夜间醒来”，后文讲“害怕错过消息或群聊”，D项“In the study, students wake up at around 2 or 3 a.m. to check their phones.”具体说明FOMO的行为表现，衔接前后文。 4. 前文讲“每次查看手机都会打断深度睡眠”，B项“As a result, they lose the most important hours of rest.”解释深度睡眠被打断的后果，呼应前文的危害。 5. 前文讲“夜间关闭手机，别担心错过消息”，C项“Your friends will be waiting to greet you in the morning!”安慰学生不会错过重要内容，呼应前文的建议。 C 阅读回答问题 Rob Frenette, a Canadian boy, was often bullied （欺凌）at school.

You just have to find those people. ” One of Rob’s ideas is “Blue Day”, a special day that works to stop the problem of bullying in schools. On that day, students have to wear blue clothes, and in class, they learn how to stop bullying from happening. More than 150 Canadian schools now celebrate Blue Day.

Schools can also help by 4.o___________ counseling services or stress-relief activities. Teenagers themselves should learn how to 5.m__________ their time and emotions better.

Talking to a trusted friend, teacher, or family member can also make a big difference. Remember, asking for help is not a sign of weakness—it’s a step toward becoming stronger and healthier. With the right support, teens can overcome 7.c__________ and grow with confidence. B 语法填空 Adolescence (青春期) is a time of big changes for students. Many teens like 15-year-old Li Ming feel upset when talking to parents—he often argues 1 his mom about homework and phone use. “They never listen to my ideas,” Li Ming said,“I just want more freedom.” This kind of argument is common. Parents often worry about their kids’ safety and grades, so they keep asking about school life. But teens think parents are too strict; some even hide 2 (they) feelings instead of talking. Over time, the gap between them grows 3 (wide)—they have fewer and fewer calm conversations. Last month, Li Ming’s class had a meeting about family communication. The teacher shared 4 useful tip: “Listen first, then speak.” Li Ming tried it. One evening, when his dad asked about his test, he didn’t get angry. Instead, he said, “I 5 (use) to practice math every evening, but now I have been trying more efficient ways to improve it.” His dad nodded and shared his own school stories. For the 6 (one) time in weeks, they talked   (peaceful) for an hour. Experts say both sides need to make efforts. Teens can ask parents 8 they can have more independence in making small decisions. Parents can give teens more space and avoid blaming. Even small talk can close the gap between family members by 9 (learn) to understand each other. 10 important advice! It is Good communication helps turn argument into trust—it makes adolescence easier for everyone. 六、语法选择 Bad behaviour is a problem for some young people and for their parents and teachers! But those 1 behave badly in a classroom environment are not necessarily bad at heart. Some children may have difficult experiences in their home lives, and some may never 2 how to behave properly. Sometimes children like this are much 3 than they seem. 4 children might behave badly for a more positive (积极的) reason — they do not pay attention in the classroom because what they are learning is not difficult enough for them. A popular way for parents to deal with “problem children” is 5 them to summer camps. At these camps, the children are forced to improve their behaviour under strict rules, in order not to be punished. However, such programs usually only have a short-term effect. A more effective choice might be a program which helps children develop new interests. Comedy (喜剧) Camp tries to do just that. At Comedy Camp, professional comedians train children and help them 6 their confidence by performing on stage. Children get a chance to try different forms of comedy: stand-up, skits (滑稽短剧), monologues (独白), impersonation (模仿) and so on. Then they choose a piece to work on and practise it 7 they can perform it well. 8 the course, children perform on stage to show 9 they have grown.

When they post photos of home-cooked food or morning coffee with these words, they turn small daily things into a shared way of being kind to themselves. People say it is one of the kindest trends, and it touches many people deeply. It is more than just a saying. It makes the unclear idea of taking care of oneself become real. It gives comfort when people feel stressed and celebrates small happy moments. The key is to call oneself “Old Self”—a friendly name that lets people step back and talk to themselves kindly, just as they would to a close friend. This trend is popular for a reason. Today’s young people face a lot of pressure, such as non-stop exams and strong competition for university places and jobs. For example, a high school student in Beijing writes “Love You, Old Self” in her notebook to calm down after a hard exam. In such situations, being gently kind to oneself has become an important way to deal with pressure. Importantly, this is not an excuse to avoid difficulties. Instead, it helps people build more courage to get through hard times. To say “Love You, Old Self” means to recognize one’s own efforts, to allow oneself to rest when needed, and thus find a healthy balance. It is a cheap but useful way to keep emotions stable. It also changes where strength comes from—from others’ praise to believing in oneself. In the end, by being kind to themselves, young people are better able to deal with outside pressure. This gentle and steady power helps them find inner peace and shows a true fact: to really care for others, you must first be kind to yourself. 1. According to the passage, how does “Love You, Old Self” help young people? A. It helps them win more competitions. B. It helps them make good friends. C. It helps them deal with pressure and find balance. D. It helps them get into a good university. 2. What can we know about “Love You, Old Self” from the passage? A. It is an expensive way to relax and reduce stress. B. It means avoiding all the difficulties in daily life. C. It helps young people find inner peace and face pressure better. D. It only needs to be done when people get good exam results. 3. Which of the following is NOT a reason why the trend is popular? A. Young people face a lot of pressure. B. It is a way to avoid difficulties. C. It helps young people find inner peace. D. It gives young people a way to care for themselves. 4. Which of the following sentences is right? A. The phrase “Love You, Old Self” can help them make more new friends. B. The phrase shows they are old enough to take care of themselves. C. The trend of “Love You, Old Self” makes the idea of self-care become real. D. The phrase makes young people become lazy and not want to face hard times. 5. What is the main idea of the passage? A. How to take good care of oneself. B. The importance of being kind to oneself. C. The pressure that Chinese young people face. D. The popularity and benefits of a self-care trend. B 阅读还原 Everybody knows how important it is for students to get a good sleep every night. You are not able to do your best unless you sleep well. Most experts agree that our bodies need eight hours of sleep every night, and this has been accepted as common knowledge for a long time. 1 I read an interesting article in a teachers’ magazine recently. They did a study of 848 students. 2 While most of them go to bed and get up at regular times, many are now waking up at night. It’s not because they need to use the bathroom or have a snack. It’s because of something new called FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). 3 They’re scared of missing messages or fun group chats. But every time they do this, their deep sleep—the kind that repairs the body and brain—gets broken like a movie suddenly stopped. 4 The study found something even worse: Teens who check social media at night are three times more likely to feel sad or worried compared to those who sleep through the night. So, I’d like to ask you to be responsible for yourself. Take control! Turn off your mobile phones and computers at night. Don’t worry about missing messages. 5 I give you my word that you won’t miss anything important. A. The study showed teenagers have a new challenge. B. As a result, they lose the most important hours of rest. C. Your friends will be waiting to greet you in the morning! D. In the study, students wake up at around 2 or 3 a.m. to check their phones. E. However, I was young once and I know most of you get much less sleep than that. C 阅读回答问题 Rob Frenette, a Canadian boy, was often bullied （欺凌）at school. He was often lonely and scared. When he was fifteen, however, he decided to do something about his problems. He walked into a newspaper office and told them about the bullying. His story went into the newspaper and soon, all the TV stations in Canada wanted to talk to him about his experiences. They also wanted to hear his ideas about how to stop bullying. In his free time after school, Rob helps other people with bullying problems. With his friend Katie Neu, he set up the website www. bullyingcanada.ca. On the website, visitors can find advice, stories and poems about bullying, in both English and French. When people are upset, they can talk on the phone or online to Rob and his team. Every weekend, Rob answers e-mails from people who have been bullied at school. He also speaks to children and teachers around Canada about bullying. Rob’s most important message is: “When you’re bullied, there’s nothing wrong with you. So, keep trusting yourself. And remember that there are people who care about your problems. You just have to find those people. ” One of Rob’s ideas is “Blue Day”, a special day that works to stop the problem of bullying in schools. On that day, students have to wear blue clothes, and in class, they learn how to stop bullying from happening. More than 150 Canadian schools now celebrate Blue Day. Rob says he won’t stop until there is Blue Day in every school in Canada. 1. Why did Rob Frenette often feel lonely and scared? 2. How did Rob solve his problems at the age of fifteen? 3. List two ways Rob helps other people with bullying problems. 4. What do you think of Rob Frenette? And why? 5. What can you learn from the story? （26·深圳一模）完形填空 An increasing number of teenagers and young adults are having problems sleeping because of great study pressure or the overuse of the smartphone, as health experts call for families and schools to pay greater 1 to the sleep quality of the youth.
