专题03 阅读理解（记叙文） 主题01 人与自我——学习策略 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·河北衡水·期中）People often ask me for suggestions about how to learn English. As for it, everyone is different. I’ll share some of my experience. I once took a school-year English course at Wuhan University, but I mostly learned English on my own. One thing I can tell you is that once you’ve started learning, you should try to think in English as much as you can. If you see something when you’re riding your bike or walking down the street, just think about “How would I say it in English?” At first, it might be with simple words or phrases, but later you should think about longer phrases and sentences. Now I’m in America, and for most of the time, I would think in English and speak it directly. It’s amazing how much this helps. For several years after I started learning, I was often afraid of talking with others in English because I didn’t want to make mistakes. Finally I got it over. And while traveling in America, I’d try to hang out with friends who couldn’t speak Chinese, so that I’d have no option but to speak English. And I also decided that if I said something stupid and other people laughed at me, then so be it. After that, my English started improving much more quickly. Besides, it may be a good idea to ask your American friends to look at the way you’re writing, and give you some suggestions for improvement. 1．How long did the writer learn English at Wuhan University? A．About three months. B．About a year. C．About a term. D．About two years. 2．What is a good way to improve your English according to the writer? A．Thinking in English. B．Learning English grammar. C．Watching English films. D．Reading English books. 3．Where is the writer now? A．In China. B．In England. C．In Germany. D．In America. 4．What does the underlined word “option” mean in Paragraph 3? A．Idea. B．Decision. C．Choice. D．Chance. 5．Which can be the best title for the text? A．The Importance of English B．My Experience in Learning English C．My English Grades in University D．The Secrets of Memorizing English Words 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．C 5．B 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者分享自己通过“用英语思考”等方法学习英语的经验与感悟。 1．第一段指出“I once took a school-year English course at Wuhan University”，故作者在武汉大学学了一年英语。 2．第二段指出“you should try to think in English as much as you can”，并描述“think in English”的具体做法和效果，故作者认为学英语的好方法是“用英语思考”。 3．第二段指出“Now I’m in America”，故作者现在在美国。 4．第三段指出“I’d try to hang out with friends who couldn’t speak Chinese, so that I’d have no option but to speak English”，结合上下文可知在只能讲英语的情况下，没有其他选择，故option意为“选择”。 5．第一段提出“I’ll share some of my experience”，全文围绕作者学习英语的经历展开，从初学、恐惧到突破瓶颈并给出建议，故B项“My Experience in Learning English”最能概括全文主旨。 Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·山东东营·期中）In the fall of 2021, my husband got a chance to spend one year in Nanjing teaching international law. One year after we got to China, I began to study Chinese. It was really hard for me to speak Putonghua. For me, it wasn’t the grammar. “I want to buy this book” is pretty straightforward, “我想买这本书”. And I could memorize lots of Chinese characters (hanzi). However, many words sound alike but mean something different. Take the sound “jiàn” for example, it always leaves me guessing—the warship (舰) or the arrow (箭), to meet (见) or to build (建)? Then, somewhere along the way, I started talking to people around me in Chinese. I tried to communicate with the women in the markets about how to cook vegetables. Sometimes I talked to taxi drivers about the songs on the radio. Gradually, I could listen to songs and understand the lyrics without looking them up. I finally reached the point where I could enjoy living in China without using a dictionary. Now, as our year is up and we pack up to leave, I’m finding my Chinese has improved. I search Baidu Maps in Chinese, keep my mobile phone contacts in Chinese, and send WeChat messages to Chinese friends in Chinese. But mostly, I don’t worry about my performance anymore and enjoy every experience of speaking Chinese. Every language is different. For me, finally, I’ve learned that the key to learning Chinese is to enjoy living in China. 1．When did the writer start to learn Chinese? A．In 2021. B．In 2022. C．In 2023. D．In 2024. 2．Why does the writer take the sound “jiàn” as an example? A．To compare different meanings of the same word. B．To encourage foreigners to memorize Chinese characters. C．To show that many words sound alike but have different meanings. D．To explain how to pronounce the sound “jiàn” correctly. 3．Who did the writer talk to in Chinese to practice? A．Her Chinese students. B．Women in the markets and taxi drivers. C．Her husband’s colleagues. D．Teachers at a Chinese school. 4．What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A．No rules, no order. B．Practice makes perfect. C．Many hands make light work. D．Actions speak louder than words. 5．What is the secret to Chinese learning for the writer? A．Memorizing more Chinese songs. B．Using mobile phones more. C．Studying the grammar hard. D．Enjoying living in China. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．B 5．D 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者随丈夫来到中国后开始学习中文的经历。作者在学习中文过程中遇到发音相近但意思不同的词汇等困难，通过与周围人交流练习中文，最终中文水平得到提高，并领悟到学习中文的关键是享受在中国的生活。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In the fall of 2021, my husband got a chance to spend three years in Nanjing teaching international law. One year after we got to China, I began to study Chinese.”可知，作者和丈夫2021年秋天来到中国，一年后即2022年开始学习中文。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“However, many words sound alike but mean something different. Take the sound ‘jiàn’ for example...”可知，作者以“jiàn”为例是为了说明许多词发音相似但意思不同。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“I tried to communicate with the women in the markets about how to cook vegetables. Sometimes I talked to taxi drivers about the songs on the radio.”可知，作者通过和市场里的女性和出租车司机用中文交流来练习中文。故选B。 4．推理判断题。文章第三段讲述了作者通过不断与周围人用中文交流，逐渐能够听懂歌曲并理解歌词，最终达到不用字典也能在中国生活的程度，这体现了“熟能生巧”的道理。故选B。 5．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“For me, finally, I’ve learned that the key to learning Chinese is to enjoy living in China.”可知，作者认为学习中文的关键是享受在中国的生活。故选D。 主题02 人与自我——方法与策略 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·山东济宁·期中）Traveling is an exciting experience. It makes us feel pleased, and enjoy new wonders and new part of life that we’ve never known. A single holiday trip can give you the freedom and the chance to make changes that daily life does not allow. It matters little where you go on your holiday; it is all in what you make of it. Any travel can be interesting and attractive, and give you memories to last a lifetime. Having those memories is truly what travels are all about. Many people say that a bit of planning and research before you leave can make sure of those long-lasting memories. But why not try something unexpected? In fact, the most unforgettable moments of a travel experience are the ones that you don’t plan for. Yes, maybe you’ll experience a bad meal in an unfamiliar place. But these experiences will make sure you discover little-known shops or an open-air theater production that is only advertised in the local paper. You’ll find the enjoyable moments happening all around you; a wonderful sunset or a small child playing in the puddles(水洼) of a cobble(鹅卵石) road. The magic will truly be in the trip you take. Take time to go for a long walk for enjoyment when visiting a new place, which will allow you to listen, smell, and see the different culture and sights that your busy life may stop you from enjoying. Simple things such as a leaf from a tree you sat under can keep the memories of your travel alive for years to come. Collect small things such as leaves, stones, or feathers, which can be turned into memorable works of art when you get back home. 1．What can give you the freedom and the chance to make changes that daily life does not allow? A．A long holiday trip. B．A single holiday ticket. C．A single holiday trip. D．An exciting computer game. 2．Any travel can be ________, and give you memories to last a lifetime. A．interested and attractive B．interesting and attractive C．interested and relaxed D．interested and relaxing 3．What does the writer advise us to do before a travel? A．We should plan the travel first.

B．Stay in the car all the way. C．Take a long walk to enjoy yourself. D．Don’t forget your work while having a travel. 5．What’s the best title for the passage? A．How to have a travel? B．How to plan your travel? C．How to eat well during your travel? D．What to take at the end of the travel? 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．B 4．C 5．A 【解析】本文主要介绍了旅行给人们带来的好处。未经计划的旅行会给人留下更深刻的记忆，在旅行中，亲身漫步，用心去感受周围的事物，尽管是一片小小的树叶等也会勾起你美好的回忆。 1．细节理解题。 根据第1段“A single holiday trip can give you the freedom and the chance to make changes that daily life does not allow. ”可知，一次假期旅行可以给你自由和机会去做出日常生活所不允许的改变，故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第1段最后一句“Any travel can be interesting and attractive, and give you memories to last a lifetime.”可知，任何旅行都是有趣的和吸引人的，故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据第2段“Many people say that a bit of planning and research before you leave can make sure of those long-lasting memories. But why not try something unexpected?”可推知，作者建议旅行之前不做计划，尝试一些意想不到的事情，故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据第3段“Take time to go for a long walk for enjoyment when visiting a new place…”可知，在旅行期间我们应该散散步，享受一下生活，故选C。 5．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，作者主要写了旅行给人们带来的好处，未经计划的旅行会给人留下更深刻的记忆，因此选项A“如何旅行？”适合文章标题，故选A。 Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·湖北孝感·期中）I used to think I had a terrible memory. In class, I could remember exciting stories our teacher told, but names, dates, and maths rules flew right out of my head. My classmates could remember long lists of new words easily, while I mixed them up, feeling frustrated. I often thought, “Why is my memory so different?” One day, I told my grandpa about my trouble. He listened quietly, then smiled. “Your memory isn’t bad,” he said. “It’s just special. Let me show you a secret.” He asked me to picture my favourite place — a sunny beach. “Now,” he said, “connect the new words with things there. A ‘starfish’ can sit on a warm rock. A ‘seashell’ can be under a blue umbrella.” I tried it. It worked! This approach is called creating a “mind palace”. It is like building a special house in your mind where you can put memories. After that, I stopped trying to remember everything in the same way. For numbers, I turned them into pictures. The number 81 became a tall tree (8) and a pencil (1). I connected rules to feelings. A boring grammar rule became the strict but fair teacher who first taught it to me. I also started to write short diary entries every night, not to memorize, but to connect facts with my own life. It was no longer just study; it became a part of my day. Slowly, things changed. I no longer felt afraid of history tests or new English lessons. I even started to enjoy finding new ways to remember things. I learned that my memory works best with stories, pictures, and feelings, not just plain words. This discovery made me feel more confident. My test scores improved, and more importantly, the stress and fear about forgetting began to disappear. I now understand that memory is not about being a camera that records everything perfectly. It is more like a painter. A painter doesn’t copy a scene exactly; he uses different colours and shapes to show its feeling and meaning. My memory is my own painter. It uses my stories, my pictures, and my feelings to help me understand and keep the world. This is the real lesson: The best memory is the one that truly works for you. 1．What could the writer remember easily in class at first? A．Maths rules. B．Names and dates. C．Stories told by the teacher. D．Long lists of new words. 2．What does the underlined word “approach” mean in Paragraph 2? A．Secret. B．Trouble. C．Way. D．Palace. 3．How does the writer improve his memory? A．He tried to remember everything. B．He connected facts to rules. C．He wrote letters every night. D．He turned numbers into pictures. 4．What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A．Memory should be as exact as a camera. B．A painter’s job is harder than having a good memory. C．The real lesson is to find the memory method that works for yourself. D．Using stories and pictures is the only way to have a good memory. 5．What would be the best title for the passage? A．My Secret to Better Memory B．A Special Mind Palace C．How to Keep a Diary Well D．A Kind Grandfather’s Advice 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．D 4．C 5．A 【解析】本文主要讲述了作者曾经认为自己记忆力很差，但在祖父的启发下，学会了使用“记忆宫殿”、将数字转化为图像以及将事实与情感联系等方法。作者发现适合自己的记忆方式后，不仅成绩提高了，自信心也增强了，最终领悟到最好的记忆方法是适合自己的方法。 1．第一段明确指出：“In class, I could remember exciting stories our teacher told...”，说明作者起初能轻松记住的是老师讲的精彩故事。而名字、日期、数学规则和新单词列表则是他难以记住或容易混淆的内容。 2．第二段中提到：“This approach is called creating a ‘mind palace’.”，前文描述了祖父教他将新单词与海滩上的事物联系起来的具体做法。因此，“approach”指的是这种“方法”或“途径”，与“Way”意思相近。Secret（秘密）、Trouble（麻烦）、Palace（宫殿）均不符合语境。 3．第三段明确指出：“For numbers, I turned them into pictures.”，说明作者通过将数字转化为图片来提高记忆力。 4．最后一段通过比喻指出记忆不像相机那样精确记录，而像画家一样表达感受和意义，并总结道：“This is the real lesson: The best memory is the one that truly works for you.”，说明主旨是找到适合你自己的记忆方法才是最重要的。 5．全文围绕作者如何从认为记忆力差到找到适合自己的记忆秘诀（如记忆宫殿、图像化等）并从中受益的过程展开。虽然提到了“Mind Palace”和“Grandfather’s Advice”，但它们只是部分内容或引子。“My Secret to Better Memory”（我改善记忆的秘诀）最能概括全文关于个人探索和最终找到有效方法的主题。 主题03 人与社会——著名人物 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·云南大理·期中）A music-teacher Deng Xiaolan has made a big difference in education in China.

However, he used to do many bad things in his village. When he was young, Zhou was very tall and strong. He behaved very badly and always bullied (欺凌) the villagers. At that time, the villagers thought there were “three scourges (祸害)”—the man-eating tiger in the southern mountain, the dragon under the water and Zhou Chu. They always ran away as soon as they saw Zhou Chu. After knowing about that, Zhou decided to help them kill the tiger and the dragon. ________ Finally, after three days and nights, he made it. On the fourth day, Zhou Chu came back to the village, thinking that he would be a hero. But everyone was happy, singing and dancing, because they thought that all “three scourges” were gone forever. But when they saw him coming back, they all felt disappointed (失望). He felt sad and went to a wise and learned man called Lu Yun for help. He said, “I used to do many bad things and waste most of my time. Now I have realized my mistakes. I want to correct them and be a better man, but I’m afraid it’s too late.” Lu Yun told him, “Don’t worry. You have such a great determination (决心), so there is hope for your future.” From then on, Zhou Chu studied hard under Lu Yun’s teaching.

My grandmother always took me to the orchard (果园) on the hill. At that time, they had to carry water from the river at the foot of the hill to halfway up the hill. Even though we worked so hard, the production level of fruit was still low because it was short of water there. One day, two young men led a group of workers to our village. They learned about the difficulties we faced, and later, canals (灌溉渠) and other projects began to be built in my village, “Who are they?” I asked. “They are good men from our government,” my grandma replied. Shortly afterwards, I moved to another city for my junior high school. The only reason I ever came back to my hometown was my grandmother. One day, my family and I made time to return. We were surprised because everything had changed. The canal ran past every orchard so villagers didn’t have to go up and down the hill anymore. The river was now so clean that fish swam happily in it. When we arrived home, my grandma took out some fresh pears and apples. She told us that after the water conservation project (水利工程) was completed, a policy (政策) was made to encourage more people to increase the fruit production with clean water in the river. Thank those good men who have devoted themselves to the development of our countryside. Nowadays, people work hard to live in a big city. However, we should not forget our hometowns where we are from. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．What troubled the villagers most? A．They had too much work. B．It was not convenient to go up the hill. C．They could only grow fruit trees. D．There wasn’t enough water in the orchard. 2．Why did the good men probably come and offer help? A．Because of the villagers’ suggestions. B．Because of the government’s support. C．Because of a school’s practical activity. D．Because of a company’s engineering plan. 3．What can we infer from the passage?

When I was in Grade One, we had a new subject—English. It was fresh for me. I was interested in it, so I worked hard at it. Soon we had an English exam and I got a very good mark. How happy I was! After that, I learned English harder and harder. Our English teacher often teaches us English songs. The songs sound nice. I often think how interesting English is! Second, I think English is a foreign language. I should learn it well in the following ways: listening to the teacher carefully, speaking bravely, reading aloud, and building a good vocabulary. Then, I practice again and again, and never get tired. And I also have a good habit: Asking whenever (不论何时) I have a question. I must make it clear by asking our English teacher. How happy I am when I understand! Besides this, I often read English stories, jokes and easy novels. From these I know English is not only interesting, but also useful. They help me understand a lot of things. So doing more reading is an important way to learn English well. I also do some exercises from our class magazines and I often write English diaries. English has become a close friend of mine. Now I have learned English for more than two years. I always hold the first position in my school. From these words, I hope every student can learn English well. 1．Why do some students often “have a headache”? A．Because they are easy to catch cold. B．Because it’s often very cold.

She jumped in the front seat, feeling down. She asked me to help her study for her science test. “Dad, I need to memorize a unit about the Reproductive Cycle of Plants. And I can hardly make it.” “You know, memorizing seems like the best way to study, but in fact you can do better in tests if you work on trying to understand the material.” Juliet was open to my advice. It was Monday afternoon and we had two nights to study before the test on Wednesday. I suggested a plan. “Tomorrow night, you are going to teach the material to me. Tonight, read the unit. Prepare to teach.” Asking her to teach me was an unusual idea but I decided to do it. Studies show teaching somebody else is a very useful way to learn. Even if you don’t do the teaching, the act of preparing to teach leads to more learning than just trying your best to memorize the material.     On Tuesday afternoon, Juliet sat down with her science book facing me and said, “Okay, Dad, let’s study.” I wanted her to teach me. But false starts happened. I couldn’t be too hard on her. So instead we started with me asking her some simple questions. She knew some but not others. When she didn’t know the answers, I encouraged her to check the book. She started checking things that didn’t make sense. And she was actively trying to test her understanding. I was happy to see it. She wasn’t memorizing, she was trying to make sense of things, which was exactly what I had hoped she would do. 1．Juliet felt down because _________.

Instead, she suggested the “interval review method”: review new words 10 minutes after learning, then one day later, and then three days later. She also advised Zhang Lin to connect words with sentences or pictures, instead of just reading the spellings. Zhang Lin decided to follow the advice. At first, she felt it took more time to review again and again. But she kept doing it for a month. Gradually, she found she could remember words much longer.

Zhang Xiaoran, a student from Hangzhou, provided us with a perfect answer. Several months ago, Zhang’s touching essay, Returning Home on the Old Tracks, got a lot of attention online after her Chinese teacher Mr Wang shared a video of her reading it aloud in class. The essay beautifully described Zhang’s childhood memories of travelling with her grandparents on a slow train from Hangzhou to her hometown in Inner Mongolia. She compared (比较) this experience with the faster but less enjoyable plane trip she took after the green train stopped running. When the train service resumed, Zhang took it again and wrote about the experience with excitement. What made Zhang’s essay stand out? Well, she didn’t try to use big words or make up a story. Instead, she started from her personal experience and wrote about something simple—a train ride. It described an ordinary (普通的) day, full of warmth and happiness. Through her words, she shared deep feelings about her family, hometown, and the important memories that came with the journey. Mr Wang encouraged his students to bring this honesty to their writing—to be brave and express their thoughts instead of copying others or making up stories. Good writing isn’t just about techniques (技巧). It’s about being honest and writing about what truly matters. By writing from the heart, Zhang has shown us the power of language. 1．What do we know about Zhang Xiaoran? A．She shared her train ride online. B．She enjoyed the slow train journey. C．She used to take the green train with her teacher. D．She took the green train to visit her friends. 2．The underlined word “resumed” in the second paragraph means “__________”. A．started again B．became slower C．got much better D．changed completely 3．Why was Zhang’s essay excellent? A．She created an interesting story. B．She used difficult words and sentences. C．She described facts without sharing an opinion. D．She connected her own experience with true feelings. 4．What does Mr Wang think is important to writing? A．Copying from famous writers. B．Adding big words to real scenes. C．Expressing one’s thoughts and feelings. D．Using different kinds of writing techniques. 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．Useful Chinese Writing Skills B．A Successful Writer in Hangzhou C．The Secret to Good Chinese Writing D．A Popular Chinese Teacher in Hangzhou 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．C 5．C 【解析】本文通过杭州学生张晓然的一篇感人作文《旧轨还乡》，说明优秀中文写作的关键不在于华丽的技巧或虚构的故事，而在于从个人真实经历出发，真诚地表达内心对家人、故乡和生活的真实感受，这样的文字才最能打动人心。王老师也鼓励学生诚实写作，勇敢表达自我。   1．第二段提到“She compared this experience with the faster but less enjoyable plane trip she took after the green train stopped running.” 她将火车之旅与“不那么愉快的”飞机旅行对比，说明火车之旅是愉快的。同时后文提到：“When the train service resumed, Zhang took it again and wrote about the experience with excitement.” 她“兴奋地”写下这次经历，进一步证明她喜欢慢速火车之旅。 2．第二段提到“She compared this experience with the faster but less enjoyable plane trip she took after the green train stopped running. When the train service resumed, Zhang took it again...”说绿皮火车停止运行，然后她“再次乘坐”，说明火车服务是重新开始/恢复了。 所以“resumed” = started again（重新开始）。 3．第三段提到“Instead, she started from her personal experience and wrote about something simple—a train ride. It described an ordinary day, full of warmth and happiness. Through her words, she shared deep feelings...” 她从个人经历出发，描写了充满温暖和快乐的普通一天，并通过文字分享了深厚感情。因此张晓然的作文很优秀是因为她把自己的经历和真实的情感结合起来。 4．第四段提到“Mr Wang encouraged his students to bring this honesty to their writing — to be brave and express their thoughts instead of copying others or making up stories.” 王老师鼓励学生“勇敢表达自己的想法”。 因此王老师认为表达自己的想法和情感对写作来说是很重要的。 5．第三段分析她成功的原因：“she started from her personal experience... shared deep feelings” 第四段总结：“Good writing isn’t just about techniques. It’s about being honest and writing about what truly matters.”全文通过张晓然的例子，揭示了优秀中文写作的“秘诀”——从真实经历出发，诚实表达内心感受。C项“优秀的中文写作的秘诀”准确概括了主旨。   Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·河北沧州·期中）Wan Haibo, a 43-year-old deliveryman (快递员), was honored (授予) as a national model worker on April 28, 2025 in Beijing. He received this for his excellent delivery work and active volunteer work.

In the group, Song Lingdong and Wang Haoze are the first Chinese “post-90s” astronauts to go into space. Lots of people got to know them because of this. Song was born into a farmer’s family in Caoxian, Shandong in August 1990. He joined the army in 2008 and learned to fly.

He got the highest grade in the flight test, and finally, he became a first-grade pilot. In 2018, Song heard the PLA Astronaut Division (中国人民解放军航天员大队) was looking for new members and he decided to be a part of it.

My grandmother always took me to the orchard（果园）on the hill. At that time, they had to carry water from the river at the foot of the hill to halfway up the hill. Even though we worked so hard, the production level of fruit was still low because it was short of water there. One day, two young men led a group of workers to our village. They learned about the difficulties we faced, and later, canals and other projects began to be built in my village. “Who are they?” I asked. “They are good men from our government,” my grandma replied. Later, I moved to another city for my junior high school. The only reason I ever came back to my hometown was my grandmother. One day, my family and I made time to return. We were surprised because everything had changed. The canal ran past every orchard so villagers didn’t have to go up and down the hill anymore. The river was now so clean that fish swam happily in it. When we arrived home, my grandma took out some fresh pears and apples. She told us that after the water conservation project（水利工程）was completed, a policy was made to encourage more people to increase the fruit production with clean water in the river. Thank those good men who have devoted themselves to the development of our countryside. Nowadays, people work hard to live in a big city. However, we should not forget our hometowns where we are from. 1．What troubled the villagers most was that ________. A．they had too much work B．it was not convenient（方便的）to go up the hill C．they could only grow fruit trees D．there wasn’t enough water in the orchard 2．The good men came and offered help probably because of ________.

As for it, everyone is different. I’ll share some of my experience. I once took a school-year English course at Wuhan University, but I mostly learned English on my own. One thing I can tell you is that once you’ve started learning, you should try to think in English as much as you can. If you see something when you’re riding your bike or walking down the street, just think about “How would I say it in English?” At first, it might be with simple words or phrases, but later you should think about longer phrases and sentences. Now I’m in America, and for most of the time, I would think in English and speak it directly. It’s amazing how much this helps. For several years after I started learning, I was often afraid of talking with others in English because I didn’t want to make mistakes. Finally I got it over. And while traveling in America, I’d try to hang out with friends who couldn’t speak Chinese, so that I’d have no option but to speak English. And I also decided that if I said something stupid and other people laughed at me, then so be it. After that, my English started improving much more quickly. Besides, it may be a good idea to ask your American friends to look at the way you’re writing, and give you some suggestions for improvement. 1．How long did the writer learn English at Wuhan University? A．About three months. B．About a year. C．About a term. D．About two years. 2．What is a good way to improve your English according to the writer? A．Thinking in English. B．Learning English grammar. C．Watching English films. D．Reading English books. 3．Where is the writer now? A．In China. B．In England. C．In Germany. D．In America. 4．What does the underlined word “option” mean in Paragraph 3? A．Idea. B．Decision. C．Choice. D．Chance. 5．Which can be the best title for the text? A．The Importance of English B．My Experience in Learning English C．My English Grades in University D．The Secrets of Memorizing English Words Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·山东东营·期中）In the fall of 2021, my husband got a chance to spend one year in Nanjing teaching international law. One year after we got to China, I began to study Chinese. It was really hard for me to speak Putonghua. For me, it wasn’t the grammar. “I want to buy this book” is pretty straightforward, “我想买这本书”. And I could memorize lots of Chinese characters (hanzi). However, many words sound alike but mean something different. Take the sound “jiàn” for example, it always leaves me guessing—the warship (舰) or the arrow (箭), to meet (见) or to build (建)? Then, somewhere along the way, I started talking to people around me in Chinese. I tried to communicate with the women in the markets about how to cook vegetables. Sometimes I talked to taxi drivers about the songs on the radio. Gradually, I could listen to songs and understand the lyrics without looking them up. I finally reached the point where I could enjoy living in China without using a dictionary. Now, as our year is up and we pack up to leave, I’m finding my Chinese has improved. I search Baidu Maps in Chinese, keep my mobile phone contacts in Chinese, and send WeChat messages to Chinese friends in Chinese. But mostly, I don’t worry about my performance anymore and enjoy every experience of speaking Chinese. Every language is different. For me, finally, I’ve learned that the key to learning Chinese is to enjoy living in China. 1．When did the writer start to learn Chinese? A．In 2021. B．In 2022. C．In 2023. D．In 2024. 2．Why does the writer take the sound “jiàn” as an example? A．To compare different meanings of the same word. B．To encourage foreigners to memorize Chinese characters. C．To show that many words sound alike but have different meanings. D．To explain how to pronounce the sound “jiàn” correctly. 3．Who did the writer talk to in Chinese to practice? A．Her Chinese students. B．Women in the markets and taxi drivers. C．Her husband’s colleagues. D．Teachers at a Chinese school. 4．What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A．No rules, no order. B．Practice makes perfect. C．Many hands make light work. D．Actions speak louder than words. 5．What is the secret to Chinese learning for the writer? A．Memorizing more Chinese songs. B．Using mobile phones more. C．Studying the grammar hard. D．Enjoying living in China. 主题02 人与自我——方法与策略 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·山东济宁·期中）Traveling is an exciting experience. It makes us feel pleased, and enjoy new wonders and new part of life that we’ve never known. A single holiday trip can give you the freedom and the chance to make changes that daily life does not allow. It matters little where you go on your holiday; it is all in what you make of it. Any travel can be interesting and attractive, and give you memories to last a lifetime. Having those memories is truly what travels are all about. Many people say that a bit of planning and research before you leave can make sure of those long-lasting memories. But why not try something unexpected? In fact, the most unforgettable moments of a travel experience are the ones that you don’t plan for. Yes, maybe you’ll experience a bad meal in an unfamiliar place. But these experiences will make sure you discover little-known shops or an open-air theater production that is only advertised in the local paper. You’ll find the enjoyable moments happening all around you; a wonderful sunset or a small child playing in the puddles(水洼) of a cobble(鹅卵石) road. The magic will truly be in the trip you take. Take time to go for a long walk for enjoyment when visiting a new place, which will allow you to listen, smell, and see the different culture and sights that your busy life may stop you from enjoying. Simple things such as a leaf from a tree you sat under can keep the memories of your travel alive for years to come. Collect small things such as leaves, stones, or feathers, which can be turned into memorable works of art when you get back home. 1．What can give you the freedom and the chance to make changes that daily life does not allow? A．A long holiday trip. B．A single holiday ticket. C．A single holiday trip. D．An exciting computer game. 2．Any travel can be ________, and give you memories to last a lifetime. A．interested and attractive B．interesting and attractive C．interested and relaxed D．interested and relaxing 3．What does the writer advise us to do before a travel? A．We should plan the travel first. B．We should not plan the travel first. C．We should take everything with us. D．We should take a camera with us. 4．What should we do during the travel? A．Drive your car all the way. B．Stay in the car all the way. C．Take a long walk to enjoy yourself. D．Don’t forget your work while having a travel. 5．What’s the best title for the passage? A．How to have a travel? B．How to plan your travel? C．How to eat well during your travel? D．What to take at the end of the travel? Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·湖北孝感·期中）I used to think I had a terrible memory. In class, I could remember exciting stories our teacher told, but names, dates, and maths rules flew right out of my head. My classmates could remember long lists of new words easily, while I mixed them up, feeling frustrated. I often thought, “Why is my memory so different?” One day, I told my grandpa about my trouble. He listened quietly, then smiled. “Your memory isn’t bad,” he said. “It’s just special. Let me show you a secret.” He asked me to picture my favourite place — a sunny beach. “Now,” he said, “connect the new words with things there. A ‘starfish’ can sit on a warm rock. A ‘seashell’ can be under a blue umbrella.” I tried it. It worked! This approach is called creating a “mind palace”. It is like building a special house in your mind where you can put memories. After that, I stopped trying to remember everything in the same way. For numbers, I turned them into pictures. The number 81 became a tall tree (8) and a pencil (1). I connected rules to feelings. A boring grammar rule became the strict but fair teacher who first taught it to me. I also started to write short diary entries every night, not to memorize, but to connect facts with my own life. It was no longer just study; it became a part of my day. Slowly, things changed. I no longer felt afraid of history tests or new English lessons. I even started to enjoy finding new ways to remember things. I learned that my memory works best with stories, pictures, and feelings, not just plain words. This discovery made me feel more confident. My test scores improved, and more importantly, the stress and fear about forgetting began to disappear. I now understand that memory is not about being a camera that records everything perfectly. It is more like a painter. A painter doesn’t copy a scene exactly; he uses different colours and shapes to show its feeling and meaning. My memory is my own painter. It uses my stories, my pictures, and my feelings to help me understand and keep the world. This is the real lesson: The best memory is the one that truly works for you. 1．What could the writer remember easily in class at first? A．Maths rules. B．Names and dates. C．Stories told by the teacher. D．Long lists of new words. 2．What does the underlined word “approach” mean in Paragraph 2? A．Secret. B．Trouble. C．Way. D．Palace. 3．How does the writer improve his memory? A．He tried to remember everything. B．He connected facts to rules. C．He wrote letters every night. D．He turned numbers into pictures. 4．What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A．Memory should be as exact as a camera. B．A painter’s job is harder than having a good memory. C．The real lesson is to find the memory method that works for yourself. D．Using stories and pictures is the only way to have a good memory. 5．What would be the best title for the passage? A．My Secret to Better Memory B．A Special Mind Palace C．How to Keep a Diary Well D．A Kind Grandfather’s Advice 主题03 人与社会——著名人物 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·云南大理·期中）A music-teacher Deng Xiaolan has made a big difference in education in China.

So they can’t learn it well. But English is very easy for me. I’m good at it. I’m very glad to tell you something about how I study English. First, I think interest (爱好) in English is very important. When I was in Grade One, we had a new subject—English. It was fresh for me. I was interested in it, so I worked hard at it. Soon we had an English exam and I got a very good mark. How happy I was! After that, I learned English harder and harder. Our English teacher often teaches us English songs. The songs sound nice. I often think how interesting English is! Second, I think English is a foreign language. I should learn it well in the following ways: listening to the teacher carefully, speaking bravely, reading aloud, and building a good vocabulary. Then, I practice again and again, and never get tired. And I also have a good habit: Asking whenever (不论何时) I have a question. I must make it clear by asking our English teacher. How happy I am when I understand! Besides this, I often read English stories, jokes and easy novels. From these I know English is not only interesting, but also useful. They help me understand a lot of things. So doing more reading is an important way to learn English well. I also do some exercises from our class magazines and I often write English diaries. English has become a close friend of mine. Now I have learned English for more than two years. I always hold the first position in my school. From these words, I hope every student can learn English well. 1．Why do some students often “have a headache”? A．Because they are easy to catch cold. B．Because it’s often very cold.

Passage 2 （23-24九年级上·湖北黄冈·期中）On Monday, I stopped my car in front of my daughter Juliet’s middle school. She jumped in the front seat, feeling down. She asked me to help her study for her science test. “Dad, I need to memorize a unit about the Reproductive Cycle of Plants. And I can hardly make it.” “You know, memorizing seems like the best way to study, but in fact you can do better in tests if you work on trying to understand the material.” Juliet was open to my advice. It was Monday afternoon and we had two nights to study before the test on Wednesday. I suggested a plan. “Tomorrow night, you are going to teach the material to me. Tonight, read the unit. Prepare to teach.” Asking her to teach me was an unusual idea but I decided to do it. Studies show teaching somebody else is a very useful way to learn. Even if you don’t do the teaching, the act of preparing to teach leads to more learning than just trying your best to memorize the material.     On Tuesday afternoon, Juliet sat down with her science book facing me and said, “Okay, Dad, let’s study.” I wanted her to teach me. But false starts happened. I couldn’t be too hard on her. So instead we started with me asking her some simple questions. She knew some but not others. When she didn’t know the answers, I encouraged her to check the book. She started checking things that didn’t make sense. And she was actively trying to test her understanding. I was happy to see it. She wasn’t memorizing, she was trying to make sense of things, which was exactly what I had hoped she would do. 1．Juliet felt down because _________.

No matter how hard she tried, she could hardly remember new words well. She spent half an hour reciting words every morning, but most of them would be forgotten by the afternoon. This made her upset and she almost lost confidence. Her English teacher noticed her trouble. She told Zhang Lin that rote memorization was not efficient. Instead, she suggested the “interval review method”: review new words 10 minutes after learning, then one day later, and then three days later. She also advised Zhang Lin to connect words with sentences or pictures, instead of just reading the spellings. Zhang Lin decided to follow the advice. At first, she felt it took more time to review again and again. But she kept doing it for a month. Gradually, she found she could remember words much longer. She no longer forgot most words the next day. Last month, Zhang Lin got an A in the English vocabulary test. She finally realized that good memory does not depend on hard work alone.

Several months ago, Zhang’s touching essay, Returning Home on the Old Tracks, got a lot of attention online after her Chinese teacher Mr Wang shared a video of her reading it aloud in class.

When the train service resumed, Zhang took it again and wrote about the experience with excitement. What made Zhang’s essay stand out? Well, she didn’t try to use big words or make up a story. Instead, she started from her personal experience and wrote about something simple—a train ride. It described an ordinary (普通的) day, full of warmth and happiness. Through her words, she shared deep feelings about her family, hometown, and the important memories that came with the journey. Mr Wang encouraged his students to bring this honesty to their writing—to be brave and express their thoughts instead of copying others or making up stories.
