We can share many things about our life and study on it with our friends. Recently, some students had a discussion on whether to allow our parents to see our Moments. YES NO Laura, 15: I think it’s meaningful to let parents see our Moments. As teenagers, sometimes we do need our parents’ help, especially in terms of social experiences. What’s more, shutting them off from Moments makes the generation gap (代沟) bigger and bigger, while inviting them in can help us to communicate and feel closer to each other. Robin, 14: I don’t allow my parents to see my Moments. Everyone needs some privacy and we all have our own secrets and lifestyles. If my parents could see my posts, they may push me around with their ideas, which would be unacceptable to me even though it would show their love and care. After all, some kind of distance is better. Jason, 16: Most of my friends keep parents out of their Moments. However, I feel happy when my parents comment on my posts in my Moments. It shows their love and care for me. It also makes them happy and stops them from worrying about me. We’ll leave them when we grow up. Why not cherish (珍惜) every chance to be there for each other? Stella, 15: I believe blocking (屏蔽) our parents in Moments is not a bad idea. Online social media is mainly a way of communicating with friends of our own age. We can have more freedom to develop our thoughts and interests. Besides, we don’t have to worry that our parents are there. If they can read our daily posts, it sometimes may create a lot of misunderstandings. Do you have your own opinions about this? Post your ideas to our website https://weixin.com. 16. What may Laura think of allowing parents to see the Moments? A. Useless. B. Common. C. Helpful. D. Terrible 17. How many students agree parents show love and care through Moments? A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four. 18. Who do you think may keep parents out of Moments? A. Tony, who always cherishes the time together with his parents. B. Lisa, who often asks her parents for help when getting in trouble. C. Lily, who thinks inviting parents in Moments shows love to each other. D. Martin, who likes to share his ideas with his friends or classmates. B Charlie entered the shop and laid fifty pence (便士) on the counter (柜台). “One Wonka’s chocolate,” he said. The man behind the counter looked fat. He turned around and reached behind him for the chocolate bar, then he turned back and handed it to Charlie. Charlie grabbed it and quickly tore off the wrapper and took a big bite. Then he took another…and another…and oh, the joy of being able to put large pieces of something sweet and solid into one’s mouth! The shopkeeper put Charlie’s change on the counter. “Take it easy,” he said. “It’ll give you a stomachache if you eat it like that without chewing (咀嚼).” Charlie went on wolfing the chocolate. He couldn’t stop. And in less than half a minute, the whole thing had disappeared down his throat. He was quite out of breath, but he felt fairly happy. He reached out a hand to take the change. Then he stopped. His eyes stared at the silver coins lying there. The coins were all five-penny pieces. There were just nine of them altogether. Surely it wouldn’t matter if he spent just one more coin. “I think,” he said quietly, “I think I’ll have just one more of those chocolate bars.” “Why not?” the fat shopkeeper said. He laid another bar on the counter. Charlie picked it up and tore off the wrapper…and suddenly…from under the wrapper…there came a bright flash of gold. Charlie’s heart stood still, “It’s a Golden Ticket!” shouted the shopkeeper. “You’ve got a Golden Ticket! You’ve found the last Golden Ticket! Come and look at this, everybody! The kid found Wonka’s last Golden Ticket! Right there in his hands! He will be one of the five lucky children to be shown around Wonka’s chocolate factory!” In a few seconds, there was a crowd of about twenty people around Charlie, and many more were pushing their way in from the street. —Adapted from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (源自及改编自UITest 练习卷阅读) 19.

This new technology was created by a team from Peking University and City University of Hong Kong, working together. What makes this chip special is its ability to cover a very wide frequency range (频率范围)—from 0.5 GHz to 115 GHz. This means one single chip can do the work of several separate devices. Before, we needed those devices to handle different frequency bands. Also, the chip’s transmission speed can be over 120 gigabits per second. That is fast enough to download many high-definition movies in just one second. What makes this chip even more amazing is its intelligence. It can automatically find out which frequency bands are busy. Then it can switch to the ones that are not being used. This helps keep the connection more stable and reliable (可靠的), even in difficult environments. The technology uses a special material called lithium niobate (铌酸锂). This material lets the chip process signals well. At the same time, it reduces power consumption (功耗). This new idea solves a key problem in making 6G systems work in real life. This big breakthrough means future 6G networks may support new and advanced uses. For example, they can help with remote surgery (doing surgery from far away) and advanced virtual reality (虚拟现实). They can also make seamless connectivity possible—this means you can stay connected from the deep sea to outer space without stopping. Right now, the research team is trying to make the technology smaller. They want to put it into different devices. This progress shows that China is getting stronger in next-generation communication technology. It also brings us one step closer to the 6G era. 23. Which of the following statements is right? A. The chip was made by Tsinghua Univ. and Peking Univ. B. The transmission speed of the chip is exactly 120 gigabits per second. C. The chip can automatically switch to free frequency bands. D. The new chip is widely used in many fields in China. 24. Which of the following is the correct order of the information about the new photonic chip? ① The chip uses a special material called lithium niobate. ② A team from Peking University and City University of Hong Kong created the chip. ③ The chip can support advanced uses like remote surgery in future 6G networks. ④ The chip has a wide frequency range and high transmission speed. A. ②→④→①→③ B. ②→①→④→③ C. ④→②→①→③ D. ①→④→②→③ 25. What can we know about the research team’s next work? A. They will stop studying the photonic chip and start developing 7G technology. B. They may test the miniaturized chip to see if it works well in different devices. C. They will only use the chip in remote surgery first, not other fields. D. They will change the material of the chip to make it more expensive. 26. What is the main topic of the passage? A. How to download high-definition movies quickly B. A new photonic chip developed by Chinese scientists for 6G C. Different uses of virtual reality technology D. The history of communication technology development 三、信息还原（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） Artificial Intelligence (人工智能), or AI for short, has become an important part of our daily life. ____27____ Let’s see how!

Primary and middle schools now include it as a must-learn subject. China pushes for labor education in schools because they want students to learn a wide range of skills, including practical skills, teamwork, and problem-solving skills, so that students can use their brains and hands to help society in the future. Western countries, such as the United States and the United Kingdom, have historically focused more on academic (学术) achievement. However, there is a growing trend towards including labor education in school subjects. For example, the UK is increasingly including labor education as part of character education in its schools. In the US, there is a push for more vocational (职业的) education and community service as part of high school graduation requirements. Labor education plays an important role in promoting social harmony and community building in China. By taking part in community service projects and other activities, students learn to work together and help people in need. This helps them develop a sense of social responsibility. Labor education also promotes understanding between the city and countryside by teaching students practical skills such as farming and housework, which helps them better understand villages’ challenges and needs. It is important for their personal growth and the development of society. As China improves its labor education program, it is expected to have a positive impact on the country’s workforce and society. By including labor education in schools, the country is taking a step towards creating a more skilled and responsible generation. 59. What does a wide range of skills include in China’s labor education? __________________________________________________________ 60. How can students learn to work together and help people in need? __________________________________________________________ 61. What do you think of including labor education in school subjects? Why do you think so? __________________________________________________________ 八、书面表达（共1题；满分25分） 62. 假设你所在的学校正在筹备“校园心声墙”活动，鼓励同学们用一种颜色来描绘自己近期在成长中的心情、困惑或收获，并分享背后的故事。请你根据以下提示，完成一篇“The Color of My Voice”短文。 提示： 1. 选择一种颜色：这种颜色代表了你在处理某个青春期烦恼 (如学业压力、同伴关系、自我期待等) 时的心境。 2. 讲述你的故事：结合你的个性 (如活泼开朗或安静内向)，具体描述这件让你感触颇深的事情。 3. 分享你的感悟：这次经历让你对自己或周围的人有了怎样的新认识。 要求： (1)必须包含所给要点，可以适当发挥； (2)语言通顺，意思连贯，条理清楚，书写规范； (3)词数100左右。 The Color of My Voice ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2025~2026 学年第一学期阶段性问卷调查 初三英语 一、完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 【1~15题答案】 【答案】1.
