9A Unit 1 限时练习 姓名： 班级： 一、完形填空（10分） “Just be yourself” is one of the most common pieces of advice we hear. We usually believe things that feel easy and comfortable stand for our true selves. When we try new things, we may feel we are 1 our real personalities. For example, you're used to keeping 2 in discussions because you've accepted that you're not “the forward-thinking type”. In fact, this kind of so-called true self is just your fixed living patterns, which may even 3 you from making progress. Then what is real authenticity（真我）?It never means 4 old habits blindly. Instead, it means acting 5 your inner wishes and life goals. Modern studies show that people can benefit from changing their personalities in different situations. You may feel uneasy when you step out of comfort zones, thinking that “This just isn't me”. Yet this feeling is totally 6 .Sometimes,you need such a push to go 7 your limits（限制）.Keep on and you'll see your progress. Is it possible to stay authentic while actively trying to change? Of course. Sticking to your true self and making changes may seem to be 8 ,but they're not. Accepting yourself means getting to know more about yourself, while changes let you think about whether your present patterns 9 the life you want to live. To be truly authentic is not to stay unchanged forever, 10 to keep growing into a better self.Just be brave enough.

The following speeches are from the four candidates（候选人）. ( )1. If you have problems with your schoolwork, which candidate should you choose? A.Jenny. B.Albert. C.Eva. D.Mark. ( )2. Which topic is not mentioned in the four speeches? A.Students's tudy. B.Teachers'stress. C.School lunch. D.After-school activities.（ ）3.What can we infer from the four candidates' goals? A.All of them focus on improving students' study. B.Albert just wants to make lunchtime much longer. C.Eva prepares two different ways to help students relax. D.Mark only hopes to increase students' game time at school. B Being bored is no fun, especially at work. However, a recent study from the Research School of Management at the Australian National University suggests that boredom may have an unexpected benefit. In a study, 52 students were given a boring task of separating red beans from green ones for 30 minutes,while another group of 49 students were asked to create art projects with paper, beans and glue. Then both groups were asked to spend five minutes on a creative task. ▲ ,the group that had performed the boring task produced more creative ideas than the group that had taken part in the art project. “Boredom is not necessarily terrible based on my research,” says the study's leader, Guihyun Park.“People want to get out of a boring state, so they tend to seek novelty（追求新奇）,which can bring out creativity.” For anyone in a creative field, boredom is not something to fear, but to embrace. J. K. Rowling has shared how she would spend hours sitting on the train, letting her mind fly, and coming up with new ideas for her stories. This boredom allowed her to tap into her creativity and imagination, leading to one of the most beloved book series ever. However, studies have also found that not everyone experiences the same level of creative benefits from boredom. Park agrees that boredom can be harmful to some important work. “I would say in security （安保）jobs where you need to be watchful all the time, like police or security guards, boredom will keep your mind wandering（神游）,which is really bad，” says Park. ( )4. Which word is the most suitable for“ ▲ ”? A.Surprisingly. B.Nervously. C.Expectedly. D.Worriedly. （ )5. According to Park, which of the following jobs can boredom benefit? A.A policeman. B.A designer. C.An accountant. D.A nurse. ( )6.What does the underlined word “embrace” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A.Give up happily. B.Refuse with thanks. C.Throw away directly. D.Accept with joy. ( )7.Which fits the study from the Research School of Management best? Group A:52 students did 1 . Group B:49 students did 2 . Both groups spent some time on a creative task and Group A could 3 . Being bored can 4 to some people, especially those working in a creative field. a. a boring task b. bring some unexpected benefits c.a creative project d. come up with more creative ideas A.1-c,2-a,3-b,4-d B.1 c,2-a,3-d,4-b C.1-a,2-c,3-d,4-b D.1-a,2-c,3-b,4-d ( )8.What's the best title for this text? A.The Way of Seeking Novelty B.The Surprising Benefits of Boredom C.The Secret of Being a Great Artist D. The Importance of Keeping Creative C Time flies when you have fun on your smartphone. But when you sit down to work and study, an hour feels like a year. ▲ It is all because of something small called dopaming, which is a “joy chemical”that makes people feel good. Our brains（脑） release it when we cat yummy food, after we exercise or when we are praised. Compared with studying, eating chocolate can make your brain release 150% more dopamine, and exercising for 30 minutes raises it by 200%. But using smartphones creates much more dopamine. For example, watching short videos gives a 250% increase, and checking new messages makes dopamine jump by 400%-much higher than studying. But why? When we go through social media, we don't know what we'll see next. This uncertainty makes dopamine active. Studying doesn't provide such uncertainty.Without the excitement of “gambling（赌博）”，we get bored much more easily. Can we do something to change that? According to research, apps can become less attractive if we turn off notifications（消息通知）or change the screen colours to black and white. We can also set time controls on apps. As for studying, you could check your progress daily or weekly and reward yourself for it. You could also explore interesting topics related to your textbooks. ( )9.Which of the following can be put in“__________”? A.Why is studying so important for our brains? B. Why are we so easy to be tired of using smartphones? C. Why is using a smartphone the best way to improve study? D.Why are we so crazy about smartphones but easily bored with studying? ( )10. What does the underlined word “release” mean in the passage? A.Recycle. B.Reduce. C.Produce. D.Attract. ( )11.Which of the following pictures shows the level of dopamine increase? ( )12. What can be the best title for the passage? A.The Joy Source of Life: Dopamine B.The Cure of Screen Habit: Phone Tips C. The Fun-Killer of Study:Dopamine D. The Cure for Boredom: Learning Plans D Young people in China are showing off their style with fun bag charms（包挂）.These small decorations hang from backpacks and swing as people walk. They help young people show who they are and create a new way of emotional（情感的）connection. There are all kinds of these bag charms. Some are soft, plush toys, while others get ideas from traditional Chinese culture or museum pieces. For example, Xi'an Momo Dolls and Sanxingdui's Bronze Mask series reimagine traditional elements（元素）into new forms.These “China-chic” designs turn bag charms into cultural bridges between the past and present. These charms offer more than just a decorative touch; they play a key role in breaking the ice among strangers. A shared charm can help people connect with just a smile. As the Chinese New Year came near,Vicky, who lives in Nanjing, bought clothes not just for her family, but for her charms. “I match charms to my mood and clothes,” she explains. “Sometimes they feel like emotional codes—shared understanding brings quick connections at once.” The charms have become popular because of the new and better ways of making them in places like Guangdong. Dongguan, known as the "designer toy capital”, has thousands of factories using smart technology to create new designs quickly. Today, these charms are reshaping the international image of “Made in China” by telling stories based on local creativity. These small items are building emotional ties with customers around the world and showing special Eastern beauty. A Grade-10 student from Nanjing shared her thoughts. “Every time I see the same charm on a stranger's backpack, it feels like discovering a tiny bridge linking two unknown hearts.”“Dr Zhang a teacher from Guangdong University of Finance & Economics, also put forward his view. “If fashionable small goods rush into teenagers' daily life endlessly, will the nice glow of such lovely accessories（配饰）finally change into meaningless desire（渴求）？” ( )13. Why were Sanxingdui Bronze Mask bag charms created? A. To build lots of cultural bridges inside museums. B. To turn traditional culture into fashionable goods. C.To help factories increase prices of ordinary plush toys. D.To copy ancient artworks and sell expensive museum gifts. ( )14. What does the underlined phrase “emotional codes” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Secret marks on the outside of little charms. B. Similar items building emotional communication. C.Personal notes used to follow one's changing moods. D.Small decorations made carefully to go with clothes. （ ）15. What helps charms gain worldwide popularity? A.Unique beauty of Eastern culture. B. Rich kinds of soft plush toy designs. C.New tech and Chinese creativity. D.Popular New-Year shopping traditions. ( )16.What is Dr Zhang's attitude towards bag charms? A.Doubtful. B.Supportive. C.Negative. D.Curious. 三、信息还原（5分） Finding what you want to do in the future can feel like a big challenge. Many teenagers think they need to have their whole lives planned out right now.1.
