When his English teacher announced a school-wide speech contest, all his classmates were 11 . Only Leo’s heart sank.

For days, Leo was locked in a 14 inside his mind. One part of him wanted to run away, but another small voice whispered, “What if you can?” That night, he talked to his grandmother. “Grandma,” he said, “I’m so 15 of making a fool of myself.” She smiled wisely and said, “Courage is not the 16 of fear, my dear. It is the 17 that something is more important than fear. Your voice is important.” Hearing this, Leo felt a spark of (一丝) 18 . He decided to try. He wrote his speech about “The Power of Kindness.” He 19 in front of his mirror every night. His reflection became his first audience. The day of the contest arrived.

He had not 24 the competition, but he had conquered his own fear.

In 2023, it called on people to care about “invisible” e-waste—things most people don’t think of as electronics. Electronic waste, or e-waste, is the name given to old electronic devices (设备) that get thrown away. These can include old computers, phones, TVs, as well as all kinds of other electronic devices. E-waste is a big problem. Though electronics can make life easier and more pleasant, the devices aren’t easy on the environment. As newer and better devices come out, lots of electronics are thrown away instead of being recycled. These things often end up in landfills, while the chemicals inside them may be a danger to the environment. Electronics can have dangerous materials like lead (铅) or mercury (汞). If these materials get into the ground or water, the pollution can cause serious problems. A group known as WEEE asked researchers from the United Nations to study a kind of e-waste that was often not noticed. The WEEE calls this type “invisible” e-waste. The UN study shows that all the 61 million tons of e-waste in a year, about 1/6 is “invisible”, and that the value of this unseen waste is worth about $ 9.5 billion a year. The surprising type leading the invisible e-waste group is toys. Worldwide, about 7.3 billion electronic toys are thrown away each year. These include toys like car racing sets, electric trains, musical toys and so on. In all, toys make up about 35% of the invisible e-waste. But the problem is far larger than just toys. The UN report shows that other everyday things like home alarms, smoke alarms, power tools are also big sources of invisible e-waste. The report says that 36% of the world’s invisible e-waste comes from these types. Nowadays, more and more people get to know about the harm of e-waste, and they will devote more to getting electronics reused or recycled. 29．Why is e-waste a big problem? A．Because it’s difficult to collect it. B．Because it’s too bad for the environment. C．Because it takes up too much space. D．Because it costs people too much money. 30．How many tons of invisible e-waste are there in a year? A．About 7.3 million tons. B．About 60 million tons. C．About 6 million tons. D．About 10 million tons. 31．What can we learn from the passage? A．Few people will pay attention to invisible e-waste. B．More invisible e-waste will be thrown away everywhere. C．More landfills will be built to deal with invisible e-waste. D．More actions will be taken to reduce the harm of e-waste. 32．What is the purpose of the passage? A．To draw attention to invisible e-waste. B．To explain the meaning of invisible e-waste. C．To ask people to use fewer. D．To tell the purpose of International E-Waste. C One night when they were near Treasure Island, Jim wanted an apple from the large barrel (桶) on the deck. There were only a few apples left, so he climbed inside the barrel and sat in the dark, eating. Suddenly somebody sat down beside the barrel. Jim was going to jump out but he heard Long John Silver speaking. “Flint was the captain,” said Long John Silver, “and I was like him. The cannon (大炮) took away my leg and blinded old Pew as well. But we came home with a ship full of gold. I always do well with Flint. Most of his men are with me.” “Well, I’m with you too, John,” answered a young voice. It was Dick, the youngest sailor on board. Jim understood immediately that most of the ship’s crew (全体船员) were pirates. They planned to take the treasure. And now the new boy Dick was one of them too. “I told you that Dick was a good boy,” said another voice. It was Israel Hands, another sailor and a good friend of Long John Silver. “But how long are we going to wait?” “Well, we can kill them now,” said Long John Silver. “Or we can do it on the island, when treasure is safe on the ship. Or we can wait until Captain Smollett has set the course for home, because none of us know how to do that.” Jim jumped out of the barrel as no one was looking, and ran over to Dr Livesey. He found a chance to tell the doctor, the captain and the squire (乡绅) everything. “It’s strange,” said the captain. “This crew seems fine. Listen, this is what I think: first, we must go on, because if we turn back now, the crew will fight against us immediately; second, we have time to think of a plan until we find the treasure; third,   ▲ We have your servants, Mr Trelawney, and ourselves, so that is seven out of twenty-six.” Jim began to feel desperate. There were only seven honest sailors out of twenty-six. —Taken from Treasure Island 33．What did Jim find from Silver’s talk with the two sailors? A．Dick was a good boy and the youngest sailor on the deck. B．Long John Silver wanted to kill Captain Smollett at once. C．Hands successfully persuaded Dick to join Long John Silver. D．Most of the ship’s crew were pirates and planned to take the treasure. 34．Which of the following is the correct order of the story? a. Jim jumped out of the barrel as nobody saw him. b. Jim climbed inside the barrel and ate apples in it. c. John Silver’s leg was taken away by the cannon. d. John Silver talked with Dick and Hands beside the barrel. e. Jim told the doctor, the captain and the squire everything. A．b-a-d-c-e B．b-a-d-e-c C．c-b-d-a-e D．c-b-a-d-e 35．Which sentence can be put in “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 10? A．seven sailors are dishonest. B．we need to hide treasure maps. C．some crew are on our side. D．there will be a fight with them. 36．What does the underlined word “desperate” mean in the last paragraph? A．careless B．hopeless C．hopeful D．cheerful D Art speaks to parts of us that ordinary language often can’t reach. A melody can awaken a feeling we don’t know how to name. A painting can make us stop, look again and see the world differently. A poem can turn an ordinary moment into something strange, beautiful and unforgettable. These experiences may seem quiet, but they matter deeply. They’re what aesthetic (审美的) education offers: not only the training of skills, but also the education of the heart. Today, this kind of learning is often undervalued. In many schools and universities, the arts are being marginalized (被边缘化的). At the same time, the rise of AI has led many people to question the value of human creativity. If images, music and writing can be generated (产生) in seconds, it’s easy to wonder whether art has become less important. But this way of thinking misses something essential. Art is valuable not just because it produces something impressive. Its deepest value lies in the experience it creates. Aesthetic education teaches students to notice beauty, sit with sadness, welcome mystery, and feel awe before things larger than themselves. It reminds us that life isn’t only about speed, results and efficiency. It’s also about wonder, attention, and feeling fully alive. This is something AI systems can never truly replace. AI can imitate styles, combine patterns and produce polished results, but it cannot live a human life. It cannot stand before a painting and suddenly remember a lost afternoon, a childhood fear, or a moment of hope. True aesthetic experiences belong to human beings because they grow out of memory, emotion, imagination, and the need to create meaning. That’s why students should not accept the idea that creative expression is becoming obsolete. Even if the arts are under pressure, the human need for art has not disappeared. In fact, it may be more important now than ever. Visit a museum, learn an instrument, try painting, even badly, write a poem no one else will read. These are not useless acts. They are ways of protecting your inner life. To create, appreciate, and be moved by art is still one of the most human things we can do. In a world increasingly shaped by algorithms, it’s a quiet form of resistance and one of the deepest sources of joy we have. 37．Why does the writer mention “a melody, a painting and a poem” in Paragraph 1? A．To show different forms of art that only AI can create. B．To explain how ordinary language describes art clearly. C．To introduce the topic of aesthetic education and its value. D．To compare human art with AI-generated creative works. 38．Why do some people doubt whether art still matters a lot at present? A．Art education brings few practical advantages for students. B．AI is able to produce various artworks in a very short time. C．Schools have cancelled all the courses related to art learning. D．Human creative ability is much weaker than AI technology. 39．Which of the following is the best example of a “true aesthetic experiences”? A．Reading many different facts about art from a textbook. B．Remembering all the painting brush skills in an art textbook. C．Using an AI app to create a horse painting in Xu Beihong’s style. D．Feeling tears come to your eyes when hearing grandma’s favorite song. 40．What is the writer’s attitude (态度) towards the future of art? A．Doubtful. B．Worried. C．Uncertain. D．Hopeful. 四、信息还原（共5小题，每道题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺连贯，其中有一项是多余选项。 As middle school students, we often imagine our future. Will we invent things, help others, or create art? Thinking about the future guides our present efforts. Many students feel unsure about their future at first—and that’s normal. 41 For example, loving robot games might lead you to engineering, enjoying story-writing could point to a writing career. Trying new things connects hobbies to future roads. 42 Ask a veterinarian (兽医) how he helps animals, or interview a local artist. These conversations help you understand a job’s real work, not just its surface. Their stories show how to turn passion (热情) into work, and they may share tips for now. Setting goals doesn’t mean big plans. 43 If you want to be a teacher, teach a younger student. If you like space, read one astronomy book a month. Small steps make dreams achievable. The world changes, and new jobs will appear. 44 Learning a language, trying coding (编程), or joining debate club builds useful skills for any future job. Being open to learning prepares you for opportunities. It’s okay if your future ideas change—you might love medicine one year, then environmental science the next. 45 What matters is exploring (探索), asking questions, and doing your best today to build an exciting future. A．Talking to people in different jobs also helps. B．Stay curious and keep trying new things, even without a clear plan yet. C．Start with small daily goals that match your interests. D．The only way to find what you love is to try different things——join a club, take a new class. E．You don’t need to know your future job, just focus on skills useful for many jobs. F．Pick one job and stick to it, even if you lose interest later. 五、综合填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面的短文，在短文空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。将所填答案填写在相应题号的横线上。 29-year-old Yang Xu has a new hobby: seal carving (篆刻). He has been taking classes at a local night school since a week ago. “I used to 46 (spend) my free time staring at my smartphone,” Yang said. “Now, I spend one and a half hours at the seal cutting class every day, finding 47 (achieve) and peace in it.” Night classes were very popular in the 1980s, when many young Chinese people were learning new skills 48 (make) a living. Today, though they now serve a new purpose of enriching cultural needs, these classes are becoming popular among young people again. The night art school Yang attends 49 (set) up by the local government in 2016. For those who are 50 (interest), the school provides twelve 90-minute classes which 51 (cost) 500 yuan. On average, the price for each hour of class is 52 (near) the same as a bubble tea. Before the night school was opened, young people had trouble 53 (find) classes in traditional art. Today, the night school provides all these classes at a reasonable price, taught by celebrated teachers and artists. For many young people, night classes are a 54 (wise) choice to escape from the busy city life than electronic products. “The stress in city creates a lot of 55 (worry),” Yang said. “People need a place to rest their minds, and night art classes can be that one.” 六、首字母填空（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分） 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使短文意思完整 I crumpled up the letter I’d been writing to my grandmother and threw it into the trash. We’d moved to the city this past winter when Mom was o 56 a new job. I missed Grandma terribly but didn’t want to worry her when I knew she was waiting to hear I had settled in. “Willa Jean,” Mom called, breaking into my thoughts. “Put on old clothes and a jacket. You’re coming with me.” Her words pulled me out of my s 57 . Mom had been so busy with her new job that I wasn’t sure she had even noticed my bad mood. Three blocks away, several of our neighbours were already gathered at a dirty corner lot. To my s 58 , the dirty lot soon became clear while we were there. Our neighbour, Mr. Smith, e 59 that the city had given us shovels (铲子), rakes (耙子), and trash bags to clean up the lot and start a community garden. The city’s only request was that we donate part of the food from our garden to add to the city’s food bank for the poor. A 60 it sounded like a lot of hard work, all of us felt excited rather than doubtful. “Let’s start” Mom said happily. When I started pulling weeds (杂草), Mom p 61 me for my hard work. She smiled warmly as she worked beside me. For someone like me who hadn’t done much farm work before, this was indeed a challenging task. However, her words gave me c 62 to continue. The afternoon sun felt comforting on my back, I found myself cheering up. Digging in the sun-warmed soil simply r 63 me of gardening with Grandma, sitting next to her—those were truly v 64 memories. “What should we plant?” Mom asked. “Tomatoes,” I answered. Grandma had always made the most d 65 sandwiches from the tomatoes in her garden “I miss those sandwiches,” Mom said softly, “and I miss Grandma, too.” I hugged her. Maybe this garden would grow a new understanding between us. 七、任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分） 阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 September is a big month for students in China since the new term begins from now on. In ancient China, the school entrance ceremony (入学典礼) was one of the most important ceremonies. Children began school between the ages of 4~7 in ancient China. Since there was no certain time to begin a new term at that time, the most important thing for parents was to choose a lucky day for their children to enter school. Next, parents would prepare some school things for their children, including desks, chairs and the four treasures of the study. In ancient times, teachers were usually very knowledgeable local persons. Parents would prepare many gifts, and then write a letter of invitation to ask a knowledgeable man to be their children’s teacher. On the day their children entered school, parents would take them to take part in The First Writing Ceremony. Before that, children would kowtow (叩头) to the statue of Confucius (孔子像) 9 times and then to their teacher 3 times to show their deep respect. During the ceremony, the teacher would put a red point on the students’ forehead (前额) as it meant opening the wisdom eye. Children would ring a certain bell to start a new term. After that, they could finally sit down in their seats and begin to study. The First Writing Ceremony was a very important ceremony for every student. Every day, students would arrive at school earlier than their teacher, and kowtow to the statue of Confucius, and then go back to the seats. Usually the teacher would give every student a new name, which was used for future Imperial Examination (科举考试) . Today, some schools are starting to hold an entrance ceremony like they did in ancient times. Students put on traditional costumes and bow to the statue of Confucius and their teachers. This means that from this moment, they take a step in the lifelong journey of learning. 66．At what age did children begin school in ancient China? 67．What school things did parents prepare for children to enter school in ancient China ? 68．Why would children kowtow to the statue of Confucius and their teacher before the First Writing Ceremony? 69．What would children do during the First Writing Ceremony? 70．What do you think of the school entrance ceremony? (请自拟一句话作答) 八、作文（满分20分） 71．成长总是伴随着起起落落。青少年在蜕变成更优秀的自己的过程中，必然会经历酸甜苦辣、有得有失。无论遇到什么问题，都必须勇敢面对并妥善解决。请你用英语写一篇短文，结合自己的经历，谈谈你如何处理在成长过程遇到的问题，内容包括： 1. 遇到的问题； 2. 处理的方式； 3. 自己的感悟。 注意： 1. 词数90左右，开头已给出，不计入总词数； 2. 文中勿提及真实的姓名、校名等信息。 During the journey of growing up, there are ups and downs. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页（共3页） 试卷第1页（共3页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026-2027学年九年级上学期第一次月考（南通专用） 英语 注意事项： 1.全卷满分120分。考试时间为120分钟。试题包含选择题和非选择题。考生答题全部答在答题卡上, 答在本试卷上无效。 2.请认真核对监考教师在答题卡上所粘贴条形码的姓名、考试证号是否与本人相符合,再将 自己的姓名、考试证号用0. 5毫米黑色墨水签字笔填写在答题卡及本试卷上。 3.答选择题必须用2B铅笔将答题卡上对应的答案标号涂黑。如需改动,请用橡皮擦干净后, 再选涂其他答案。答非选择题必须用0. 5毫米黑色墨水签字笔写在答题卡的指定位置,在其他位置答题一律无效。 一、单项选择（本题共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15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．—For lots of left-behind children, love and care were often ________ from their childhood. —It’s a social problem that is hard to solve. A．separate B．absent C．extra D．blind 【答案】B 【详解】句意：——对于很多留守儿童来说，他们的童年往往缺乏关爱。——这是一个很难解决的社会问题。 考查形容词辨析。separate分开的； absent缺席的，缺乏； extra额外的；blind失明的。根据“For lots of left-behind children, love and care were often...from their childhood.”和常识可知，留守儿童的童年会缺乏关爱。be absent from意为“缺席的，不在的，缺乏”，固定短语。故选B。 2．—What? You mean I’ll have to ________ extra work? —Don’t have a cow, Jason. I do believe you can make it. A．take up B．take off C．take on D．take away 【答案】C 【详解】句意：——什么？你的意思是我不得不做额外的工作？——别生气，杰森。我相信你能做到。 考查动词短语。take up开始从事，喜欢上；take off (飞机)起飞，脱掉；take on承担，接受； take away带走，夺走。根据空格处“extra work”可知，做额外的工作，take on符合语境。故选C。 3．Most boys _______ guns to dolls while most girls _______ have dolls than guns. A．would rather; prefer B．prefer; would rather C．would rather; would rather D．prefer; prefer 【答案】B 【详解】句意：大多数男孩更喜欢枪而不是洋娃娃，而大多数女孩更喜欢洋娃娃而不是枪。考查固定结构。would rather do宁愿做某事；prefer A to B比起B来更喜欢A；都是固定结构。根据句意结构和语境，可知选B。 4．What ________ great difficulty my grandparents had ________ a living in old days! A．/; made B．/; making C．a; to make D．a; making 【答案】B 【详解】句意：我的祖父母在过去谋生是多么困难啊！ 考查冠词及非谓语动词。根据“great difficulty my grandparents had ... a living”可知，此处是短语have difficulty (in) doing sth“做某事有困难”，第二空用动名词作宾语；difficulty在此处表示抽象意义，是不可数名词，其前不加冠词。故选B。 5．—I’m not sure _________.     —You’ve tried your best. Whatever the result is, don’t be too hard on yourself. A．whether I like to move here B．when I can prepare for the test C．if I can get high marks in the test D．why I have to move to another city 【答案】C 【详解】句意：——我想知道我是否能在考试中取得高分。——你已经尽力了。不管结果如何，不要对自己太苛刻。 考查宾语从句。whether I like to move here我是否喜欢搬到这儿；when I can prepare for the test我何时可以准备考试；if I can get high marks in the test我是否能在考试中取得高分；why I have to move to another city我为什么搬到另一个城市。根据答语“Whatever the result is, don’t be too hard on yourself”可知，此处与学习的结果有关，C项符合语境，故选C。 6．— Monster Hunt is the best film I’ve ever seen in the past few years. — I can’t agree more. You ________ praise this film too much. A．can B．should C．can’t D．shouldn’t 【答案】C 【详解】句意：——《捉妖记》是我在过去几年里看过的最好的电影。——我非常同意。你再怎么赞扬这部电影也不过分。 考查情态动词。can可以；should应该；can’t不能；shouldn’t不应该。根据上文“I can’t agree more”可知，对方非常同意说话者的看法，所以用“can not … too much”结构，意为“再……也不过分”。故选C。 7．— Are you happy with the result of the last English test? — No. As the saying goes: “________.” I made many careless mistakes in it. A．A miss is as good as a mile B．It never rains but it pours C．The early bird catches the worm D．Every dog has its day 【答案】A 【详解】句意：——你对上次的英语测试的结果满意吗？——不满意。俗话说：“失之毫厘，谬之千里。”我在这次测试里犯了很多粗心的错误。 考查谚语辨析。A miss is as good as a mile失之毫厘，谬以千里；It never rains but it pours祸不单行；The early bird catches the worm早起的鸟儿有虫吃；Every dog has its day人人皆有得意时。根据“I made many careless mistakes in it”可知因为粗心导致考试结果不好，符合俗语“失之毫厘，谬以千里”，故选A。 8．Read the dialogue on the right.

A．Not only; but also; all B．Neither; nor; both C．Both; and; each D．Either; or; none 【答案】B 【详解】句意：吉姆和他的表弟都没有去过美国，但他们都很了解这个国家。 考查并列连词和不定代词辨析。Not only...but also不仅……而且……；Neither...nor既不……也不……；Both...and两者都……；Either...or要么……要么……；all都，三者及三者以上；both都，两者之间；each每个，两者及两者以上；none没有，三者及三者以上。根据“...Jim...his cousin has been to America,”和“but...of them know the country well.”可推知，前后为转折关系，此处应表示吉姆和他的表弟都没有去过美国，但他们都很了解这个国家。根据“Jim ... his cousin”和“of them know the country well”可知，此处指两者，且句子为肯定句，故不定代词用both。故选B。 10．—I love Douyin. I’ve come to know many friends on it. They are all famous live bloggers. —________. Few of them would become your real friends. A．I can’t agree more B．Don’t say like this C．That’s not the case D．Never mind 【答案】C 【详解】句意：——我喜欢抖音。我在上面认识了很多朋友。他们都是著名的直播博主。——事实并非如此。他们中很少有人会成为你真正的朋友。 考查情景交际。I can’t agree more我完全同意；Don’t say like this不要这样说；That’s not the case事实并非如此；Never mind没关系。根据后文“Few of them would become your real friends.”可知，此处表示不同意前者的观点。故选C。 二、完形填空(本题共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Leo was a bright boy, but his fear of speaking in public was like a giant wall in front of him.

It’s a day to draw people’s attention to the problems of electronic (电子的) waste. In 2023, it called on people to care about “invisible” e-waste—things most people don’t think of as electronics. Electronic waste, or e-waste, is the name given to old electronic devices (设备) that get thrown away. These can include old computers, phones, TVs, as well as all kinds of other electronic devices. E-waste is a big problem. Though electronics can make life easier and more pleasant, the devices aren’t easy on the environment. As newer and better devices come out, lots of electronics are thrown away instead of being recycled. These things often end up in landfills, while the chemicals inside them may be a danger to the environment. Electronics can have dangerous materials like lead (铅) or mercury (汞). If these materials get into the ground or water, the pollution can cause serious problems. A group known as WEEE asked researchers from the United Nations to study a kind of e-waste that was often not noticed. The WEEE calls this type “invisible” e-waste. The UN study shows that all the 61 million tons of e-waste in a year, about 1/6 is “invisible”, and that the value of this unseen waste is worth about $ 9.5 billion a year. The surprising type leading the invisible e-waste group is toys. Worldwide, about 7.3 billion electronic toys are thrown away each year. These include toys like car racing sets, electric trains, musical toys and so on. In all, toys make up about 35% of the invisible e-waste. But the problem is far larger than just toys. The UN report shows that other everyday things like home alarms, smoke alarms, power tools are also big sources of invisible e-waste. The report says that 36% of the world’s invisible e-waste comes from these types. Nowadays, more and more people get to know about the harm of e-waste, and they will devote more to getting electronics reused or recycled. 29．Why is e-waste a big problem? A．Because it’s difficult to collect it. B．Because it’s too bad for the environment. C．Because it takes up too much space. D．Because it costs people too much money. 30．How many tons of invisible e-waste are there in a year? A．About 7.3 million tons. B．About 60 million tons. C．About 6 million tons. D．About 10 million tons. 31．What can we learn from the passage? A．Few people will pay attention to invisible e-waste. B．More invisible e-waste will be thrown away everywhere. C．More landfills will be built to deal with invisible e-waste. D．More actions will be taken to reduce the harm of e-waste. 32．What is the purpose of the passage? A．To draw attention to invisible e-waste. B．To explain the meaning of invisible e-waste. C．To ask people to use fewer. D．To tell the purpose of International E-Waste. 【答案】29．B 30．D 31．D 32．A 【导语】本文主要讲述了国际电子垃圾日的重点——不可见电子垃圾，通过说明电子垃圾对环境的危害，引起人们对这类垃圾的关注。 29．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“E-waste is a big problem. Though electronics can make life easier and more pleasant, the devices aren’t easy on the environment.”可知，电子垃圾是一个大问题的原因是因为这对环境危害很大。故选B。 30．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The UN study shows that all the 61 million tons of e-waste in a year, about 1/6 is ‘invisible’”可知，一年内6100万吨的电子垃圾中，约有六分之一是不可见电子垃圾，即大约1000万吨。故选D。 31．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Nowadays, more and more people get to know about the harm of e-waste, and they will devote more to getting electronics reused or recycled.”可知，越来越多的人开始了解电子垃圾的危害，他们将采取更多行动减少电子垃圾的危害。故选D。 32．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了国际电子垃圾日的重点——不可见电子垃圾，通过说明电子垃圾对环境的危害，引起人们对这类垃圾的关注，A项符合。故选A。 C One night when they were near Treasure Island, Jim wanted an apple from the large barrel (桶) on the deck. There were only a few apples left, so he climbed inside the barrel and sat in the dark, eating. Suddenly somebody sat down beside the barrel. Jim was going to jump out but he heard Long John Silver speaking. “Flint was the captain,” said Long John Silver, “and I was like him. The cannon (大炮) took away my leg and blinded old Pew as well. But we came home with a ship full of gold. I always do well with Flint. Most of his men are with me.” “Well, I’m with you too, John,” answered a young voice. It was Dick, the youngest sailor on board. Jim understood immediately that most of the ship’s crew (全体船员) were pirates. They planned to take the treasure. And now the new boy Dick was one of them too. “I told you that Dick was a good boy,” said another voice. It was Israel Hands, another sailor and a good friend of Long John Silver. “But how long are we going to wait?” “Well, we can kill them now,” said Long John Silver. “Or we can do it on the island, when treasure is safe on the ship. Or we can wait until Captain Smollett has set the course for home, because none of us know how to do that.” Jim jumped out of the barrel as no one was looking, and ran over to Dr Livesey. He found a chance to tell the doctor, the captain and the squire (乡绅) everything. “It’s strange,” said the captain. “This crew seems fine. Listen, this is what I think: first, we must go on, because if we turn back now, the crew will fight against us immediately; second, we have time to think of a plan until we find the treasure; third,   ▲ We have your servants, Mr Trelawney, and ourselves, so that is seven out of twenty-six.” Jim began to feel desperate. There were only seven honest sailors out of twenty-six. —Taken from Treasure Island 33．What did Jim find from Silver’s talk with the two sailors? A．Dick was a good boy and the youngest sailor on the deck. B．Long John Silver wanted to kill Captain Smollett at once. C．Hands successfully persuaded Dick to join Long John Silver. D．Most of the ship’s crew were pirates and planned to take the treasure. 34．Which of the following is the correct order of the story? a. Jim jumped out of the barrel as nobody saw him. b. Jim climbed inside the barrel and ate apples in it. c. John Silver’s leg was taken away by the cannon. d. John Silver talked with Dick and Hands beside the barrel. e. Jim told the doctor, the captain and the squire everything. A．b-a-d-c-e B．b-a-d-e-c C．c-b-d-a-e D．c-b-a-d-e 35．Which sentence can be put in “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 10? A．seven sailors are dishonest. B．we need to hide treasure maps. C．some crew are on our side. D．there will be a fight with them. 36．What does the underlined word “desperate” mean in the last paragraph? A．careless B．hopeless C．hopeful D．cheerful 【答案】33．D 34．C 35．C 36．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，节选自《金银岛》，主要讲述了吉姆在苹果桶里意外听到西尔弗等人的密谋，得知船上大多数船员都是海盗并计划夺取宝藏，随后将此事告知利维西医生、船长和乡绅的故事。 【详解】33．文中提到“Jim understood immediately that most of the ship’s crew were pirates. They planned to take the treasure.”，这直接表明吉姆从对话中发现大多数船员是海盗并计划夺取宝藏。 34．故事顺序为：西尔弗的腿被大炮炸伤（c）→吉姆爬进桶里吃苹果（b）→西尔弗与迪克、汉兹在桶边交谈（d）→吉姆趁没人看见跳出桶（a）→吉姆把一切告诉医生、船长和乡绅（e），即c-b-d-a-e。 35．船长后文提到“We have your servants, Mr Trelawney, and ourselves, so that is seven out of twenty-six.”，说明此处是说有些船员站在我们这边。 36．后文提到“There were only seven honest sailors out of twenty-six.”，26个人里只有7个诚实的水手，由此可知吉姆感到绝望、无望，desperate意为hopeless。 D Art speaks to parts of us that ordinary language often can’t reach. A melody can awaken a feeling we don’t know how to name. A painting can make us stop, look again and see the world differently. A poem can turn an ordinary moment into something strange, beautiful and unforgettable. These experiences may seem quiet, but they matter deeply. They’re what aesthetic (审美的) education offers: not only the training of skills, but also the education of the heart. Today, this kind of learning is often undervalued. In many schools and universities, the arts are being marginalized (被边缘化的). At the same time, the rise of AI has led many people to question the value of human creativity. If images, music and writing can be generated (产生) in seconds, it’s easy to wonder whether art has become less important. But this way of thinking misses something essential. Art is valuable not just because it produces something impressive. Its deepest value lies in the experience it creates. Aesthetic education teaches students to notice beauty, sit with sadness, welcome mystery, and feel awe before things larger than themselves. It reminds us that life isn’t only about speed, results and efficiency. It’s also about wonder, attention, and feeling fully alive. This is something AI systems can never truly replace. AI can imitate styles, combine patterns and produce polished results, but it cannot live a human life. It cannot stand before a painting and suddenly remember a lost afternoon, a childhood fear, or a moment of hope. True aesthetic experiences belong to human beings because they grow out of memory, emotion, imagination, and the need to create meaning. That’s why students should not accept the idea that creative expression is becoming obsolete. Even if the arts are under pressure, the human need for art has not disappeared. In fact, it may be more important now than ever. Visit a museum, learn an instrument, try painting, even badly, write a poem no one else will read. These are not useless acts. They are ways of protecting your inner life. To create, appreciate, and be moved by art is still one of the most human things we can do. In a world increasingly shaped by algorithms, it’s a quiet form of resistance and one of the deepest sources of joy we have. 37．Why does the writer mention “a melody, a painting and a poem” in Paragraph 1? A．To show different forms of art that only AI can create. B．To explain how ordinary language describes art clearly. C．To introduce the topic of aesthetic education and its value. D．To compare human art with AI-generated creative works. 38．Why do some people doubt whether art still matters a lot at present? A．Art education brings few practical advantages for students. B．AI is able to produce various artworks in a very short time. C．Schools have cancelled all the courses related to art learning. D．Human creative ability is much weaker than AI technology. 39．Which of the following is the best example of a “true aesthetic experiences”? A．Reading many different facts about art from a textbook. B．Remembering all the painting brush skills in an art textbook. C．Using an AI app to create a horse painting in Xu Beihong’s style. D．Feeling tears come to your eyes when hearing grandma’s favorite song. 40．What is the writer’s attitude (态度) towards the future of art? A．Doubtful. B．Worried. C．Uncertain. D．Hopeful. 【答案】37．C 38．B 39．D 40．D 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨了在人工智能迅速发展的背景下，艺术教育的独特价值和重要性。作者认为，尽管AI能生成艺术作品，但它无法替代人类基于记忆、情感和想象力的真实审美体验，因此我们应继续坚持艺术创作与欣赏。 【详解】37．第一段提到旋律、画作和诗歌能唤起无法言喻的情感、改变我们看世界的方式以及让平凡时刻变得难忘。紧接着文章指出“These experiences... are what aesthetic education offers”。因此，作者提及这三者是为了引出审美教育这一话题并阐述其价值。 38．根据第二段内容“At the same time, the rise of AI has led many people to question the value of human creativity. If images, music and writing can be generated in seconds...”可知，AI能在几秒钟内生成图像、音乐和文字，这种高效率让人们怀疑人类创造力的价值以及艺术是否变得不再重要。 39．根据第四段内容“True aesthetic experiences belong to human beings because they grow out of memory, emotion, imagination...”可知，真正的审美体验源于人类的记忆、情感和想象力，是AI无法模拟的。 40．文章最后一段提到“the human need for art has not disappeared... it may be more important now than ever”，并称艺术是“one of the deepest sources of joy we have”。这表明作者对艺术的未来持积极、充满希望的态度。 四、信息还原（共5小题，每道题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺连贯，其中有一项是多余选项。 As middle school students, we often imagine our future. Will we invent things, help others, or create art? Thinking about the future guides our present efforts. Many students feel unsure about their future at first—and that’s normal. 41 For example, loving robot games might lead you to engineering, enjoying story-writing could point to a writing career. Trying new things connects hobbies to future roads. 42 Ask a veterinarian (兽医) how he helps animals, or interview a local artist. These conversations help you understand a job’s real work, not just its surface. Their stories show how to turn passion (热情) into work, and they may share tips for now. Setting goals doesn’t mean big plans. 43 If you want to be a teacher, teach a younger student. If you like space, read one astronomy book a month. Small steps make dreams achievable. The world changes, and new jobs will appear. 44 Learning a language, trying coding (编程), or joining debate club builds useful skills for any future job. Being open to learning prepares you for opportunities. It’s okay if your future ideas change—you might love medicine one year, then environmental science the next. 45 What matters is exploring (探索), asking questions, and doing your best today to build an exciting future. A．Talking to people in different jobs also helps. B．Stay curious and keep trying new things, even without a clear plan yet. C．Start with small daily goals that match your interests. D．The only way to find what you love is to try different things——join a club, take a new class. E．You don’t need to know your future job, just focus on skills useful for many jobs. F．Pick one job and stick to it, even if you lose interest later. 【答案】41．D 42．A 43．C 44．E 45．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了中学生如何通过尝试新事物、与他人交流、设定小目标、培养通用技能以及保持探索心态来为未来做准备。 【详解】41．前文讲很多学生一开始对未来迷茫，这很正常；后文举例爱好可以指引未来方向，尝试新爱好能对接未来道路。D项“The only way to find what you love is to try different things——join a club, take a new class.”承接上文的迷茫，引出下文尝试爱好的例子，逻辑通顺。 42．后文讲述向兽医、当地艺术家提问交流，通过对话了解真实的工作。A项“Talking to people in different jobs also helps.”作为本段总起句，引出和不同职业的人交谈的做法，和后文例子对应。   43．前文说设立目标不等于宏大计划；后文举例想当老师就辅导低年级学生，喜欢太空就每月读一本天文书，讲小步骤实现梦想。C项“Start with small daily goals that match your interests.”承接不要做大计划，引出匹配兴趣的日常小目标，呼应后文小步骤的例子。 44．前文讲世界会变化，会出现新职业；后文讲学语言、学编程、参加辩论社团培养通用技能。E项“You don’t need to know your future job, just focus on skills useful for many jobs.”承接新工作会出现，说明不必确定未来职业，重点培养多种工作都能用的技能，衔接下文技能培养的例子。 45．前文讲对未来的想法改变是正常的，今年热爱医学，明年可能喜欢环境科学；后文讲重要的是探索、提问、做好当下。B项“Stay curious and keep trying new things, even without a clear plan yet.”承接想法会发生改变，说明就算没有清晰规划，也要保持好奇不断尝试，和后文“探索、尽力做好当下”相呼应。   五、综合填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面的短文，在短文空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。将所填答案填写在相应题号的横线上。 29-year-old Yang Xu has a new hobby: seal carving (篆刻). He has been taking classes at a local night school since a week ago. “I used to 46 (spend) my free time staring at my smartphone,” Yang said. “Now, I spend one and a half hours at the seal cutting class every day, finding 47 (achieve) and peace in it.” Night classes were very popular in the 1980s, when many young Chinese people were learning new skills 48 (make) a living. Today, though they now serve a new purpose of enriching cultural needs, these classes are becoming popular among young people again. The night art school Yang attends 49 (set) up by the local government in 2016. For those who are 50 (interest), the school provides twelve 90-minute classes which 51 (cost) 500 yuan.

In ancient China, the school entrance ceremony (入学典礼) was one of the most important ceremonies. Children began school between the ages of 4~7 in ancient China. Since there was no certain time to begin a new term at that time, the most important thing for parents was to choose a lucky day for their children to enter school. Next, parents would prepare some school things for their children, including desks, chairs and the four treasures of the study. In ancient times, teachers were usually very knowledgeable local persons. Parents would prepare many gifts, and then write a letter of invitation to ask a knowledgeable man to be their children’s teacher. On the day their children entered school, parents would take them to take part in The First Writing Ceremony. Before that, children would kowtow (叩头) to the statue of Confucius (孔子像) 9 times and then to their teacher 3 times to show their deep respect. During the ceremony, the teacher would put a red point on the students’ forehead (前额) as it meant opening the wisdom eye. Children would ring a certain bell to start a new term. After that, they could finally sit down in their seats and begin to study. The First Writing Ceremony was a very important ceremony for every student. Every day, students would arrive at school earlier than their teacher, and kowtow to the statue of Confucius, and then go back to the seats. Usually the teacher would give every student a new name, which was used for future Imperial Examination (科举考试) . Today, some schools are starting to hold an entrance ceremony like they did in ancient times. Students put on traditional costumes and bow to the statue of Confucius and their teachers. This means that from this moment, they take a step in the lifelong journey of learning. 66．At what age did children begin school in ancient China? 67．What school things did parents prepare for children to enter school in ancient China ? 68．Why would children kowtow to the statue of Confucius and their teacher before the First Writing Ceremony? 69．What would children do during the First Writing Ceremony? 70．What do you think of the school entrance ceremony?
