专题01 阅读理解（记叙文） 主题01 人与社会——人际交往与社会文化 Passage 1 (25-26九上·浙江温州市龙湾初中协作校·期中) Chen Yuanchun is a teacher at a rural (乡村的) primary school in Cangyuan, Yunnan Province. She was born in 1981 and she became a Chinese teacher when she was 20. Now, the 44-year-old woman teaches Chinese, but she is very interested in computer technology. She has introduced coding (编程) to her students as an important information technology skill. Chen’s connection to coding began in November 2018. She became one of the first teachers in Cangyuan to take training courses on coding. The training was challenging for a beginner like Chen. She needed to learn how to tell a machine to perform actions and finish tasks through different orders. She worked very hard because she believed this skill would be helpful for her students. After the training, Chen started a new group in her school to teach the students coding, but some parents opposed her plan. They didn’t understand what coding was and thought Chen was wasting their children’s time to play video games on the computer. So, Chen could only teach students of her own class at first. For teens, coding does not include writing difficult coding languages. Then Chen taught them how to create interesting animations (动画片) and games. After only one term, every student was able to create something through coding. Learning coding also helped them become more creative and improved their problem-solving skills. Soon, coding classes became popular in schools all over Cangyuan. Some students even won prizes in a national competition last year. “I will work harder and hope these children in mountain areas will have a better future by learning information technology,” Chen said. 1．When did Chen Yuanchun begin to connect to coding? A．At the age of 20. B．At the age of 37. C．At the age of 40. D．At the age of 44. 2．What does the underlined word “opposed” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Disagreed with B．Wrote down C．Worked out D．Put off 3．What did Chen teach her students in the coding class? A．How to play video games on the computer. B．How to prepare for difficult coding languages. C．How to create interesting cartoons and games. D．How to use the Internet to search for information. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．Coding Helps Students Be Active B．Coding gets Popular in Chen’s School C．Teacher Connects Coding with Chinese D．Teacher Brings Coding to Rural Children 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了云南沧源乡村教师陈元春将编程引入乡村小学课堂的经历，包括她接触编程的过程、家长的反对、教学内容及最终编程课的受欢迎程度。 【详解】 1．细节理解题。根据文章“She was born in 1981... Chen’s connection to coding began in November 2018”可知，1981年出生的她在2018年接触编程，2018-1981=37，即37岁。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据文章“They didn’t understand what coding was and thought Chen was wasting their children’s time”可知，家长不理解编程，认为是浪费时间，因此是“反对”她的计划。“opposed”对应“Disagreed with（不同意）”。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据文章“Then Chen taught them how to create interesting animations and games”可知，陈元春在编程课上教学生制作有趣的动画和游戏。故选C。 4．最佳标题题。文章核心是乡村教师陈元春将编程带到乡村孩子的课堂中，选项D“Teacher Brings Coding to Rural Children（教师将编程带给乡村孩子）”能概括全文主旨。故选D。 Passage 2 (25-26九上·浙江义乌市苏溪镇初级中学·期中) Wang Maowei, a 40-year-old artist is good at making stick puppets (木偶). When he was a little boy, he watched how his parents performed those beautiful puppets, and how interesting those performances were. Gradually, he fell in love with it as a teenager. When he was 17, he went to Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, to learn puppet-making from a master. After spending seven years there, he returned to his hometown to work with the same group as his parents did. It takes 40 to 50 days to make a stick puppet. The average height of a puppet is 75 centimeters to 1 meter, and it has different costumes to fit different plays and stories. To make puppets, you need to have some basic knowledge of fine arts. The most difficult part is to persist (坚持) because it can be robotic and hard work. Wang was strict with himself. After at least five years of learning from his master, he began to think out new forms. “It is important to keep up with the times and be creative,” he said to himself.     Wang puts gears (齿轮) inside the puppet heads. He found a special kind of paper to make them work — the nose, eyes and mouth of a puppet will all move with the use of one stick. It lets puppet players put the puppets away easily. With the help of modern technology, his puppets can even perform bianlian or face-changing, to attract more young people. He has made some changes to the puppet plays. His group now only uses background music instead of local operas. This makes it easier for the young to understand. 1．When did Wang Maowei start learning puppet-making? A．When he was a teenager. B．When he was a little boy. C．When he was 24 years old. D．When he was 40 years old. 2．What does the underlined word robotic mean? A．interesting B．hard C．boring D．relaxing 3．According to the passage, what makes Wang Maowei’s puppet different? A．His master’s excellent skills. B．Young people’s love for puppets. C．His parents’ influence. D．His ability to create. 4．If you can watch Wang’s performance, what can you probably see? A．Some puppets looking like robots. B．Common puppets like others. C．Puppet performances with local operas. D．Puppets can do face-changing. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。介绍了40岁的艺术家王茂伟制作杖头木偶的经历、木偶制作的相关情况以及他对木偶艺术的创新与发展。 1．细节理解题。根据“Gradually, he fell in love with it as a teenager.”以及“When he was 17, he went to Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, to learn puppet-making from a master.”可知，王茂伟在青少年时期开始学习木偶制作。故选A。 2．词句猜测题。根据“The most difficult part is to persist (坚持) because it can be robotic and hard work.”可知，制作木偶最困难的是坚持，因为这项工作既机械又艰苦，“robotic”与“hard”并列，结合语境可推测其含义为“机械的、无聊的”。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“After at least five years of learning from his master, he began to think out new forms. ‘It is important to keep up with the times and be creative,’ he said to himself.”以及他在木偶内部安装齿轮、利用特殊纸张让木偶五官活动、结合现代技术实现变脸等创新做法可知，王茂伟的木偶与众不同之处在于他的创造力。故选D。 4．细节理解题。根据“With the help of modern technology, his puppets can even perform bianlian or face-changing, to attract more young people.”可知，观看王茂伟的表演可能会看到木偶表演变脸。故选D。 Passage 3 (25-26九上·浙江浙江丽水·期中) One day, Susie was unhappy when she came home from school. “What’s the matter, my dear?” asked her mother, drawing her to her side and smiling. “All our class must hand in compositions tomorrow. We must write 12 lines at least. But I can never write one. I’ll have to go to school without a composition, for I won’t copy one from a book, or ask you or papa to write one for me.” “That’s right,” said her mother. “You’ll be happier with a poor composition, if it’s your own, than with a fine one written by somebody else. But cheer up. Run into the garden and play. I’ll call you in half an hour. Don’t think about your composition now. Just have a good time.” It seemed just a few minutes to Susie before she heard her mother calling her. She went into the house immediately — her hands full of sweet flowers, and her face red with exercise. Then her mother asked her to sit by the window with a nice piece of paper and a pencil, and write something about what she could see. “Never mind your composition; do this to please me, and we’ll talk about that later.” Although Susie thought her mother’s request was strange, she knew she always had a good reason for everything she did. So she did as her mother requested. As she looked out, she first saw the western sky and some bright, sunset clouds. “Oh, mother, what a sunset!” “Don’t talk. Just write.” The pencil began moving rapidly across the paper. She wrote about the sunset clouds, the look of the distant hills, the streets, the river, the garden with its flowers, and the birds flying past the window. She forgot all about the terrible composition! Just as she had reached the bottom of the page, her mother came in and said with a smile, “Well, Susie, how does that composition come on?” “Composition! You told me not to think about it, and I’ve never thought of it once. I’ve had such a nice time writing about what I could see from the window.” Mrs. Smith took the paper and read what Susie had written. She said, “There, Susie, that’s a very nice composition, really.” “A composition! Is that a composition?” Susie asked in surprise. “Yes, my dear, and a very good one, too, if we find a title for it,” replied her mother. Then she added, “I’m sure it will please your teacher, as it does me. You see, it’s easy enough to write a composition if you have anything interesting to write about.” 1．Susie was unhappy when she came home because _________. A．she was punished by her teacher B．she couldn’t write a composition C．she forgot to take her composition home D．she didn’t get on well with her classmates 2．From the story we can know Susie’s mother __________. A．had never understood her daughter B．had never talked with Susie’s teacher C．knew how to write a good composition D．wrote the composition for her daughter 3．The title of Susie’s composition might be __________. A．My Helpful Clever Mother B．The Beautiful Sights at Sunset C．How to Please Your Teacher D．How to Have a Pleasant Time 4．What might happen the next morning? A．Susie’s classmates would laugh at her. B．Susie’s teacher would be angry with her. C．Susie’s mother would ask her to stay at home. D．Susie would hand in her composition happily. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文讲的是Susie因写不出老师布置的作文而不高兴，但她在妈妈的指引下写出了很好的作文。从而说明教育方法对孩子成长的重要性。 【详解】 1．细节理解题。根据“But I can never write one. I’ll have to go to school without a composition, for I won’t copy one from a book, or ask you or papa to write one for me.”可知，Susie之所以不高兴是因为她觉得写不出老师布置的作文。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据文中描述可知，Susie在妈妈的指导下写出了作文，说明她的妈妈知道怎样写作文，故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据“The pencil began moving rapidly across the paper. She wrote about the sunset clouds, the look of the distant hills, the streets, the river, the garden with its flowers, and the birds flying past the window. She forgot all about the terrible composition!”可知，作文的题目应该为“落日下的美景”。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据“I’m sure it will please your teacher, as it does me.”可推断，Susie第二天会很高兴的把作文交上。故选D。 主题02 人与自我——日常活动与哲理感悟 Passage 1 (25-26九上·浙江温州翔宇中学·期中) All day long the little boy, Richard, worked hard in the fields with his farmer family. But at sunset there came an hour that was all his own. He’d climb a nearby hill and look across at a faraway house on another hill with its windows shining like gold. One day, his father called him over. “You’ve been a good boy and earned a holiday. Take today for yourself, but remember—time is valuable, and learn something good.” The boy thanked his father, kissed his mother, put some bread in his pocket, and set off to find the house with golden windows. It was pleasant walking at first. By and by he got hungry, so he sat by a stream and ate his bread. Then he fed bread to the birds, just like his mother taught him. After a long time, he reached the hill with the house. But he felt very disappointed—its windows were just glass. No gold at all. He almost cried. A kind woman came, asked what he wanted and laughed softly when he talked about the golden windows. “We’re poor farmers, too.” she said, and handed him milk and cake, then called her daughter who was about his age. “You came to the wrong house! Follow me.” the little girl said excitedly and took him to a hill behind the farm. “They only shine at sunset.” At the top, she turned and pointed. There, on a far hill, stood his own house—its windows shining like gold! The way home was long and dark. But the lamplight and firelight shone through the windows, making them almost as bright as he had seen them from the hilltop. “Have you learned anything?” asked his father. “Yes,” the boy smiled. “Our house has windows of gold.” 1．What does the underlined word “earned” probably mean? A．Got for free. B．Asked for politely. C．Worked hard to get. D．Received by chance. 2．What did the little girl show to the boy on the hill? A．The girl’s house. B．The boy's house. C．The shining sunset. D．A house with windows made of gold. 3．Which is the correct order of the following events? ①The boy’s father gave him a holiday. ②The boy fed bread to birds by a stream. ③The boy climbed a hill every sunset to look at the gold windows. ④The boy said goodbye to his parents and set out to find the golden windows. ⑤The girl showed the boy that his own home was the golden-window house. A．①③④⑤② B．③①④②⑤ C．①④②③⑤ D．③②④①⑤ 4．What can we learn from the story? A．Exploring can lead to surprising findings. B．Real friendship is more valuable than gold. C．Much in life depends on our point of view. D．We need to have a good sense of direction. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了小男孩理查德每天在田里辛勤劳作，日落时常常眺望远处山上那座窗户像金子一样闪闪发光的房子。一天，父亲给他放了一天假，他出发去寻找那座“金窗房子”，却发现那只是普通玻璃。最后，一个女孩带他看到，真正闪着金光的其实是他自己的家。故事告诉我们，生活中的许多事物取决于我们看待它的角度。 【详解】 1．第一段提到“All day long the little boy, Richard, worked hard in the fields with his farmer family.”，说明Richard每天和农民家人一起在田里努力工作。因此“earned”在这里表示“通过努力工作而获得”，与C项“Worked hard to get”意思最接近。 2．第六段提到女孩说“You came to the wrong house! Follow me.”，并带他走到农场后面的小山上，然后“At the top, she turned and pointed. There, on a far hill, stood his own house—its windows shining like gold!”说明女孩给男孩看的是男孩自己的家。 3．文章顺序是：第一段先描述男孩每天日落时看远处金色窗户的房子；第二段父亲给他一天假期；第二段后半部分他告别父母出发；第三段他在溪边吃面包并喂鸟；第七段女孩带他上山顶，指出他自己的家就是那座“金窗房子”。因此正确顺序为③①④②⑤，对应B项。 4．文章最后父亲问“Have you learned anything?”，男孩回答“Yes... Our house has windows of gold.”这个故事说明，同样一座房子，从远处看窗户像金子一样闪亮，从近处看却只是普通玻璃；而自己家从远处看也同样闪着金光。这体现了“生活中很多事物取决于我们看待它的角度”，对应C项“Much in life depends on our point of view.”。 Passage 2 (25-26九上·浙江温州龙港·期中) It was another hot city morning, the air was wet and uncomfortable. Faced with my long and thick hair, Mum was a little helpless again. The weather made it even harder to brush (梳). I loved my hair, but I was tired of the daily battle (斗争) with it. To solve the problem, my grandma Kelly came to help. She had studied in a beauty school for months. Mum asked her to give me a new cut. After preparing, Kelly asked, “So what style would you like, Cindy?” I lifted the heavy hair off my neck, and said, “Is there a style that will be easy to brush?” Kelly thought for a moment, “I know.” She made her own hair into a knot (发髻) at her neck. “You could have it cut short like this. It would feel much cooler and easier. What do you think?” With her hair reaching the neck, Kelly looked so beautiful. I wanted to look like that too. “Yes,” I said. “Cut it.” Snip, snip…my hair rained onto the floor. Looking at it, I became a bit worried. When finished, Kelly held out a mirror, our faces were side by side. However, only her hair was long. Mine was so short! I could say nothing, ▲ “Oh, darling, what’s wrong?” Kelly asked. “It’s—it’s too short!” “It will be easy, and now we can see more of your beautiful face.” But her words didn’t help. In the following days, though everyone showed their love of my new cut, I didn’t feel any better. By the weekend, the weather was even hotter. We decided to go for a swim. As I jumped into water, something amazing happened. My head felt light and free. Without long hair covering my eyes, I swam like never before, faster and more freely. That evening, after my bath, I looked in the mirror again. I picked up the brush. For the first time, it moved down easily just as Kelly said. Smiling, I began to like my new short hair. 1．What made Cindy want to change her hair style? A．The terrible weather. B．The advice from friends. C．The heavy schoolwork. D．The strict rules in school. 2．What hair style did Cindy want to have at first? A．The same as her Mum’s. B．Good for swimming. C．Short to reach the neck. D．Nice with her glasses. 3．Which of the following can be put into ▲ in Paragraph 6? A．My hair was still too long and heavy. B．I sat there silently and tried not to cry. C．I couldn’t wait to show my new look. D．Kelly understood what I really wanted. 4．What’s the best title of the story? A．Cindy’s New Look B．A Family’s Change C．Kelly’s Beauty School D．A Summer’s Secret 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Cindy因炎热天气和长发带来的困扰，在奶奶Kelly的帮助下剪了短发，起初不适应，后来在一次游泳中感受到短发带来的轻松，最终接受并喜欢上新发型的故事。 【详解】 1．文章第一段指出“It was another hot city morning...The weather made it even harder to brush...I was tired of the daily battle with it.”，直接说明炎热的天气让Cindy想改变发型。 2．文章第四段Kelly建议“You could have it cut short like this. It would feel much cooler and easier.”，Cindy看到Kelly齐脖短发很漂亮，说“Yes. Cut it.”，直接说明她想要剪短到脖子的发型。 3．文章第六段Cindy看到自己的头发很短后说“It’s—it’s too short!”，结合前文“I could say nothing”和后文Kelly安慰她，可以推断她坐在那里沉默不语，努力忍住不哭。 4．文章讲述了Cindy从抗拒新发型到最终喜欢上短发的过程。由此推断，最佳标题是“Cindy的新形象”。 Passage 3 (25-26九上·浙江金华市永康市联盟·期中) Two years ago, I made a decision to drop out of school. I always failed exams and I didn’t think I was a smart boy. After that, I went to the woods to take a walk by myself. It was grey, which made me feel sad. On the way, I met an old man and told him about my decision. “Look around, young boy,” he said. “When I planted the ferns (蕨类) and the bamboo seeds (种子), I took good care of them. The ferns grew so quickly that their leaves soon covered the ground. However, nothing came from the bamboo seeds. In the second year, the ferns grew more quickly, but the bamboo seeds still didn’t sprout. This didn’t disappoint me and I cared for them as usual. Finally, in the fifth year, a tiny sprout came from earth. Compared with the ferns, it was so small and unimportant. But just six months later, the bamboo was over 100 feet tall.” “The bamboo had spent five years growing roots (根). And those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to grow up,” the man continued. “Now, tell me, what can you learn from this story?” I looked at the old man in surprise and couldn’t answer this unexpected question. The man smiled and said, “Young boy, first of all, you should realise the importance of being patient, because big changes usually take time. Never give up. Secondly, it’s easier to give up when things are not going your way. Why don’t you regard difficulties as chances of being better? Lastly, always believe in yourself. Don’t tell yourself how big the problem is. Just tell yourself how great you are!” 1．Why did the writer want to drop out of school? A．He didn’t like his teachers. B．He kept failing exams. C．He wanted to work in the woods. D．He met an old man. 2．What does the word “sprout” mean in Paragraph 2? A．To be ill. B．To grow flowers. C．To start growing from a seed. D．To become green. 3．What did the old man say about the bamboo’s growth? A．It grew tall because of good weather. B．It spent five years growing strong roots. C．It didn’t need much care. D．It was more beautiful than the ferns. 4．What may the writer do next after hearing the old man’s words? A．To forget about school. B．To spend more time in the woods. C．To be patient and believe in himself. D．To plant bamboo and ferns. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述作者因考试总不及格打算辍学，在树林偶遇一位老人，老人用竹子生长的故事开导他，告诉他人要有耐心、不轻言放弃、自信面对困境。 【详解】 1．根据第一段“I always failed exams and I didn’t think I was a smart boy.”可知，作者想要辍学的原因是他考试一直不及格。 2．根据第二段“the bamboo seeds still didn’t sprout...Finally, in the fifth year, a tiny sprout came from earth.”可知，竹子种子前几年没有破土，第五年才冒出嫩芽，划线单词“sprout”指种子开始发芽生长。 3．根据第三段“The bamboo had spent five years growing roots. And those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to grow up.”可知，老人说竹子花了五年时间生长强壮的根系。 4．根据第四段老人的话“you should realise the importance of being patient...Lastly, always believe in yourself.”可推断，听完老人的话后，作者会变得有耐心并且相信自己。 主题03 人与社会——社会服务与人际交往 Passage 1 (25-26九上·浙江宁波市余姚市·期中) I used to be really shy. When I first came to this new school, I became even shyer. But once I talked to my classmate in a math class. And then, I was punished to write a five-page passage about “Why I Shouldn’t Talk in Class”. It seemed like it would take me all night! After getting home, I spent some time feeding and playing with my cat first, so that I can avoid the hard task. When I finally started writing, I began with the reasons my teacher Ms. Black would like. I wrote that talking in class stopped me and my classmates from learning. After finishing one paragraph, I found it difficult to continue. I thought for a long time and then got an idea. What if talking led to a bad life like becoming a criminal? If I didn’t get an education and dropped out (辍学), I might steal things and go to the prison (监狱). And when I got out, people would say, “She used to talk in class.” The pages began flying by. When my mom came home from work, I was still complaining (抱怨), “Five pages? It’s impossible!” Mom said, “You should keep writing. I want to read it when you finish.” After dinner, I gave the passage to mom. I thought she would scold (指责) me or at least tell me to learn a lesson. But she laughed and laughed while reading. The next day, when Ms. Black read my passage to the class, everyone laughed. I knew they weren’t laughing at me. They were laughing because I had the ability to tell a funny story. My confidence still needed to grow, but I knew I wouldn’t be shy while writing. 1．What was the writer punished to do? A．To be sent to the prison. B．To clean the blackboard. C．To stand in the classroom. D．To write a five-page passage. 2．What does the underlined sentence in Para.2 mean? A．The pages flew into the sky. B．The wind blew so strongly.

B．She might refuse to write any passages. C．She might ask others to write for her. D．She might only write about funny things. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者很腼腆，曾经在数学课上说话，被老师惩罚写一篇5页的文章；通过这次的经历，作者发现自己写作时一点也不害羞，找到了自己的闪光点。 【详解】 1．细节理解题。根据“And then, I was punished to write a five-page passage about ‘Why I Shouldn’t Talk in Class’. ”可知，作者被惩罚写一篇5页“为什么在课堂上不应该讲话？”的文章。故选D。 2．词句猜测题。根据“After finishing one paragraph, I found it difficult to continue. I thought for a long time and then got an idea. What if talking led to a bad life like becoming a criminal? If I didn’t get an education and dropped out (辍学), I might steal things and go to the prison (监狱). And when I got out, people would say, ‘She used to talk in class.’”可知，作者想到了一个好主意“What if talking led to a bad life like becoming a criminal?”，因此作者很快完成了文章，因此推测划线句子“The pages began flying by”，表示作者写得非常快。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“They were laughing because I had the ability to tell a funny story.”可知，同学们因为作者写的文章很有趣才笑的。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据“My confidence still needed to grow, but I knew I wouldn’t be shy while writing”可知，作者在写作时不害羞，推测可知，作者在写作课上会非常的积极。故选A。 Passage 2 (25-26九上·浙江舟山市普陀区·期中) Lhalung Dorje works for China Post in Ruo’ergai town, Sichuan Province. For many years, he has sent packages (包裹) and talked with local people. Through this work, he learned much about local products like dried meat, milk, vegetables, and fruits. In March 2021, he started his first livestreaming (直 播) sales event. He has held about 10 live events, getting nearly 4 million yuan. However,  his most important job is still sending mails. Ruo’ergai is in a mountainous area of western China where Tibetan and Qiang people live. The area has high mountains and difficult roads, so travel is dangerous here.

She has lived in Beijing all her life. I asked her about life today and in the past. What was your life like in the past? My family lived in a tiny house. There were no electric lights, only candles. My father was a postman, and he often worked twelve hours a day outside in the cold winter or in the hot summer. My mum was a farm girl before she met my father. She was a considerate and loving mother. She didn’t go out to work. There were five children in my family, and looking after us was more than a full-time job. I remember the family meals. The food was simple. We could only eat meat once or twice a year. My family was not rich enough to send me to school, and what’s more, because I was a girl. How has life changed? Families have got smaller than they were in the past. Today, most people only have one child. The role of women has changed too. My daughter is really lucky. She has a good education, and she goes to work even after getting married. I’m happy to see she’s busy working every day, but sometimes I feel lonely because she can’t come to see me often. Transport and travel are easier today. When I was young, I went everywhere on foot or sometimes by bike. Now, you can take the bus everywhere, and there’s also the underground. And you young people can take a plane to anywhere in the world. The only thing I don’t like, though, is that there’s so much more traffic. It’s so difficult to cross the road. Of course, we didn’t have television when I was a child. I really enjoy watching television today. There are so many good programs, like the Beijing Opera and old films. But some of the shows are too noisy for me. Generally speaking, I think life is better today. We eat better and we live longer. 1．Why couldn’t Mrs Li receive education when she was a child? A．She was not interested in going to school at all. B．Her family was too poor and she was a girl. C．She had to help her mother take care of her brothers and sisters. D．The school near her home only accepted boys. 2．What does the underlined word “considerate” mean? A．Serious. B．Busy. C．Kind. D．Strict. 3．What can we infer from Mrs Li’s words about her daughter? A．Her daughter doesn’t have time to work after getting married. B．Her daughter is unlucky because she has to work hard. C．Her daughter can get better education than Mrs Li. D．Her daughter often comes to visit Mrs Li to reduce her loneliness. 4．What can we learn according to the passage? A．Mrs Li’s family could eat meat almost every month in the past. B．Mrs Li thinks all TV programs today are interesting and quiet. C．Mrs Li’s family used candles for lighting because there were no electric lights. D．Most families today have more children than families in Mrs Li’s time. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．C 4．C 【导语】本文是对70多岁、一生居住在北京的李太太的采访，对比了她过去和现在的生活。 【详解】 1．细节理解题。根据“My family was not rich enough to send me to school, and what’s more, because I was a girl.”可知，李太太没能上学的原因是家里穷，而且她是个女孩。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据“She was a considerate and loving mother. She didn’t go out to work. There were five children in my family, and looking after us was more than a full-time job.”可知，李太太的母亲将五个孩子照顾得很好，因此considerate意为“体贴的”，与kind含义相近。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据“She has a good education, and she goes to work even after getting married.”可知，李太太的女儿受过良好的教育，而李太太没能去上学。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据“There were no electric lights, only candles.”可知，在过去，李太太家没有电灯，只能用蜡烛照明。故选C。 主题01 人与社会——人际交往与社会文化 Passage 1 (25-26九上·浙江绍兴市新昌县五校联盟·期中) Chen Yuanchun is a teacher at a rural (乡村的) primary school in Cangyuan, Yunnan Province. The 44-year-old woman teaches Chinese, but she is very interested in computer technology. She has introduced coding (编程) to her students as an important information technology skill. Chen’s connection to coding began in November 2018. She became one of the first teachers in Cangyuan to take training courses on coding. The training was challenging for a beginner like Chen. She needed to learn how to tell a machine to perform actions and finish tasks through different orders. She worked very hard because she believed this skill would be useful for her students. After the training, Chen started a new group in her school to teach the students coding, but some parents opposed (反对) her plan. They didn’t understand what coding was and thought Chen was teaching their children to play video games on the computer. So, Chen could only teach students of her own class at first. For teens, coding does not include writing difficult coding languages. Instead, Chen taught them how to create interesting cartoons and games. After only one term, every student was able to create something through coding. Learning coding also helped them become more creative and improved their problem-solving skills. Soon, coding classes became popular in schools all over Cangyuan. Some students even won prizes in a national competition last year. “I will work harder and hope these children in mountain areas will have a better future by learning information technology,” Chen said. 1．In Paragraph 3, what does the underlined word “They” refer to? A．Some parents. B．Some students. C．Some schools. D．Some teachers. 2．What did Chen teach her students in the coding class? A．How to play video games on the computer.

A．The students were not interested in coding at first. B．Chen’s students won first place at a competition in 2021. C．Most parents think coding is too difficult to learn. D．Chen plans to put more time and energy into teaching coding. 4．What is the best title for the passage? A．Coding Helps Students Think Better B．Teacher Brings Coding to Rural Children C．Coding Gets Popular in China’s Schools D．Teacher Connects Coding with Chinese Language 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了云南沧源乡村小学教师陈元春将编程引入课堂的故事，包括她克服困难学习编程、家长最初的反对、学生取得的进步以及她对未来的期望。 【详解】 1．词句猜测题。根据“some parents opposed (反对) her plan.

Expensive gifts are out because they make Mama feel terrible. “This is awful, Julie,” she says. “You shouldn’t have spent the money on me.” Inexpensive gifts please Mama, but they make me feel terrible.

If I give her a plant, she cuts off the top for me to take home and root (生根) in a glass of water. If I give her something to eat, she wants me to share it with her. Papa stopped trying to shop for Mama long ago. On Mother’s Day or her birthday, he writes a poem. Papa is not a good poet, but Mama doesn’t mind. She says, “It doesn’t have to rhyme (押韵) as long as it’s from the heart.” This year, finally, I think I, too, have found a painless gift for Mama.

I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around and found a little old lady with a warm smile. She said, “Hi, handsome. My name is Rose. I’m eighty-seven years old.” “Why are you in university at such a ‘young’ age?” I asked. She replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of kids, and then retire (退休) and travel.” I knew she was joking. I was curious about what might have encouraged her to take on this challenge at her age. “I always dreamed of having a university education and now I’m getting one!” she told me. We became friends. Every day we would talk nonstop after class. I always enjoyed listening to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom and experience with me. And Rose easily made friends wherever she went. At the end of the term, we invited Rose to make a little speech. She cleared her throat and began, “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. I’ve learned a few secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die.” “There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent or ability.

While teaching in Chongqing, I had chances to travel all across Asia. My adventure (冒险) to the Gobi Desert was one of my favorites. My trip took me from the rainbow mountains of Zhangye Danxia, to Jiayuguan, an ancient fort (要塞) on the Great Wall of China. I ended at Dunhuang, one of the central parts of the Silk Road in the Gobi Desert. I did the journey all by myself. A trip alone meant that I had to depend on my Mandarin speaking skills. When I first arrived in China my Mandarin was not good, but I tried to speak to local families and children on the trains. They were all very friendly. I had families practicing English with me as well. We all got our translation apps open when there was an unfamiliar word. Mount Everest was my last major trip before leaving China. I traveled through the grand Potala Palace in Lhasa, Xizang, to the blue Yamdrok Lake, before making my way to the famous mountain with a tour group. It was amazing to put myself into Xizang’s culture and experience the world through their eyes. I used my language skills to help our group order food in the markets and translate into English when our guide couldn’t find a proper word to express something. Physically, the terrain (地形) was unique, and the high height and short of oxygen made me feel sick. As a result, I couldn’t sleep well at night. “I remembered clearly waking up in the night to get my oxygen tank (氧气瓶) many times. However, I made it. After three days’ traveling, we finally saw sunset and sunrise at the top of Base Camp of Mount Everest. The whole experience made me fall in love with traveling, and gave me the desire (欲望) to experience even more of the world. 1．How was the author’s Mandarin when he first arrived in China? A．Good. B．Poor. C．Excellent. D．Unknown. 2．Why couldn’t the author sleep well at night? A．Because he felt uncomfortable on the high mountain. B．Because he had slept too much during the daytime.

Her passion lasted until her death on October 1st, 2025. Born in Britain, Goodall went to work in Africa in 1957. Later, Louis Leakey, an anthropologist (人类学家), invited her to study chimpanzees with him. From then on, Goodall began her pioneering research on chimpanzees in Tanzania in 1960. She also got a Ph.D．at the University of Cambridge in 1966. Her research was different. Instead of simply watching the animals far away and giving them numbers like other scientists, she lived closely with the chimpanzees, gave them names, and built personal relationships with them. These unusual methods (方法) were questioned by some scientists. However, Goodall is believed to be the only person accepted into chimpanzee society. Goodall said, “... if we have a soul (心灵), then so do the chimpanzees. I could spend hours out in the forest, being with the chimpanzees. These were the best days of my life.” After seeing a film about lab animals in 1986, she said, “I knew I had to do something.” She was travelling and giving speeches almost 300 days a year until her death. “If you want to save wild animals, you have to find ways for local people to live without harming the environment and then think about what future children could have if we go on business as usual.” she said. The story of Goodall has encouraged many people, especially girls and women. Goodall showed us women can be pioneering scientists as well as mothers. She encouraged girls and women to be brave and follow their own paths. 1．Which is the right order according to the text? A．Goodall travelled to give speeches→was invited by Louis Leakey→got a Ph.D． B．Goodall went to Africa→began to study chimpanzees in Tanzania→got a Ph.D． C．Goodall saw a film about lab animals→went to Africa→lived with chimpanzees D．Goodall got a Ph.D．→was invited by Louis Leakey→began to study chimpanzees 2．What was special about Goodall's research on chimpanzees? A．She studied them in a lab for many years. B．She worked with local people to protect them. C．She lived closely with them and formed friendships.

C．To ask more people to learn more about chimpanzees. D．To call on local people to protect the environment. 4．Which is the best title of the passage? A．A Hero Who Changed the Biology Area B．Jane Goodall's Final Fight for Animals C．Jane Goodall: A Lifelong Protector of Wildlife D．Living with Chimpanzees: A New Way to Research 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了珍·古道尔因对黑猩猩的重要研究而闻名，她一生致力于帮助野生动物和保护环境。文章介绍了她的生平经历、研究方法、为保护野生动物所做的努力以及她对人们的激励作用。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Born in Britain, Goodall went to work in Africa in 1957.”可知，古道尔先去了非洲；再根据“From then on, Goodall began her pioneering research on chimpanzees in Tanzania in 1960.”可知，然后她开始在坦桑尼亚研究黑猩猩；最后根据“She also got a Ph.D. at the University of Cambridge in 1966.”可知，她获得了博士学位。所以正确的顺序是古道尔去了非洲→开始在坦桑尼亚研究黑猩猩→获得博士学位。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Instead of simply watching the animals far away and giving them numbers like other scientists, she lived closely with the chimpanzees, gave them names, and built personal relationships with them.”可知，古道尔研究黑猩猩的特别之处在于她与黑猩猩亲密生活，给它们取名，并与它们建立了个人关系。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“After seeing a film about lab animals in 1986, she said, ‘I knew I had to do something.’ She was travelling and giving speeches almost 300 days a year until her death. ‘If you want to save wild animals, you have to find ways for local people to live without harming the environment and then think about what future children could have if we go on business as usual.’ she said.”可知，珍·古道尔不断发表演讲是为了鼓励更多的人拯救野生动物。故选B。 4．最佳标题题。根据文章第一段“Jane Goodall, famous for her important research with chimpanzees, spent her life helping all wild animals and protecting the environment. Her passion lasted until her death on October 1st, 2025.”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了珍·古道尔一生致力于保护野生动物的故事，所以最佳标题是“Jane Goodall: A Lifelong Protector of Wildlife”（简·古道尔：野生动物的一生守护者）。故选C。 Passage 2 (25-26九上·浙江浙派联盟·期中) Living abroad can be a really great experience. I’ve been in China for 14 years. I feel very lucky about my life here. I’ve seen many places, learned a lot, and got to know China’s rich culture. I like the traditional and historical parts of the cities I visit. China’s old buildings, customs, and stories always interest me. But I also try to enjoy the modern side of life here. To really understand a culture, you need to step out of your comfort zone and talk to the people there every day. But this is not easy for me because I’m kind of shy. I’ve exercised a lot since I was a teenager. But I usually do sports alone, like running and swimming. So when two friends asked me to try a group HIIT class called F45, I wasn’t sure. I wasn’t worried about how hard the exercise would be. I thought I was in good shape. (I soon found out I was wrong!) But the idea of being with a group of people scared me. I didn’t like the thought of exercising, sweating, and maybe looking silly in front of strangers. And I didn’t like the idea of high-fiving everyone after the class. I thought the class would be full of very good athletes competing with each other. But I was so wrong. In fact, I found a very nice group of people. They were of different ages, from different places, and had different fitness levels. They just wanted to have 45 minutes (that’s what the 45 in F45 means) of exercise, get some encouragement, and have fun. It didn’t take long for me to feel at home. Four years later, I’m really glad I tried it. I’ve done better than I thought. I got 1st place in the F45 Playoffs men’s doubles relay and 3rd place in Hyrox Shanghai. I never thought I could do this when I first went to the class. But the best thing is the friends I’ve made. I’ve met new people and I know we’ll be friends for a long time. It’s not easy to make long-lasting friends, especially when you live in a foreign country. This experience taught me that learning about a place isn’t just about going to temples, museums, or old places. It’s about sharing daily life with the people who live there. China is a big and very interesting country. I’ve only learned a little about it. But the most important things I’ve learned didn’t come from guidebooks or tours. They came from talking with people and making friends over time. I still don’t like the high-fives, though. 1．Why does the writer think living abroad is a great experience? A．Because he can try different kinds of food. B．Because he can try different kinds of sports. C．Because he can visit many places in his own country. D．Because he has learned a lot and got to know a rich culture. 2．What did the writer find in the F45 class? A．A group mostly made up of people of the same age. B．People who cared more about their own progress. C．A mix of people with different characters and fitness. D．Those who didn’t seem to welcome new people. 3．How did the writer’s feelings about the F45 class change? A．Comfortable →Doubtful→Worried →Happy B．Doubtful →Worried→Comfortable →Happy C．Worried →Doubtful →Happy → Comfortable D．Happy →Comfortable → Doubtful → Worried 4．Which saying best expresses the writer’s experience? A．All roads lead to Rome. B．One is never too old to learn. C．Experience is the best teacher. D．A friend in need is a friend indeed. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文作者通过自己在国外参加团体健身课的经历，分享了融入当地文化、结交朋友的心得体会。 【详解】 1．细节理解题。根据“I feel very lucky about my life here. I’ve seen many places, learned a lot, and got to know China’s rich culture.”可知，作者认为在国外生活很棒是因为他学到了很多并了解了丰富的文化。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“In fact, I found a very nice group of people. They were of different ages, from different places, and had different fitness levels.”可知，作者在F45课上发现了一群不同年龄、来自不同地方、健身水平不同的人。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“So when two friends asked me to try a group HIIT class called F45, I wasn’t sure.”可知作者一开始是怀疑的；根据“But the idea of being with a group of people scared me.”可知作者开始担心；根据“It didn’t take long for me to feel at home.”可知作者感到舒适；根据“Four years later, I’m really glad I tried it.”可知作者最后很开心。所以作者对F45课的感受变化是怀疑→担心→舒适→开心。故选B。 4．推理判断题。文章讲述了作者通过参加F45课程，从最初的怀疑、担心到后来融入其中并取得成绩、交到朋友，这一经历是通过亲身体验获得的，所以“Experience is the best teacher.”（经验是最好的老师）最能表达作者的经历。故选C。 22 / 34 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题01 阅读理解（记叙文） 主题01 人与社会——人际交往与社会文化 Passage 1 (25-26九上·浙江温州市龙湾初中协作校·期中) Chen Yuanchun is a teacher at a rural (乡村的) primary school in Cangyuan, Yunnan Province. She was born in 1981 and she became a Chinese teacher when she was 20. Now, the 44-year-old woman teaches Chinese, but she is very interested in computer technology. She has introduced coding (编程) to her students as an important information technology skill. Chen’s connection to coding began in November 2018. She became one of the first teachers in Cangyuan to take training courses on coding. The training was challenging for a beginner like Chen. She needed to learn how to tell a machine to perform actions and finish tasks through different orders. She worked very hard because she believed this skill would be helpful for her students. After the training, Chen started a new group in her school to teach the students coding, but some parents opposed her plan. They didn’t understand what coding was and thought Chen was wasting their children’s time to play video games on the computer. So, Chen could only teach students of her own class at first. For teens, coding does not include writing difficult coding languages. Then Chen taught them how to create interesting animations (动画片) and games. After only one term, every student was able to create something through coding. Learning coding also helped them become more creative and improved their problem-solving skills. Soon, coding classes became popular in schools all over Cangyuan. Some students even won prizes in a national competition last year. “I will work harder and hope these children in mountain areas will have a better future by learning information technology,” Chen said. 1．When did Chen Yuanchun begin to connect to coding? A．At the age of 20. B．At the age of 37. C．At the age of 40. D．At the age of 44. 2．What does the underlined word “opposed” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Disagreed with B．Wrote down C．Worked out D．Put off 3．What did Chen teach her students in the coding class? A．How to play video games on the computer. B．How to prepare for difficult coding languages. C．How to create interesting cartoons and games. D．How to use the Internet to search for information. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．Coding Helps Students Be Active B．Coding gets Popular in Chen’s School C．Teacher Connects Coding with Chinese D．Teacher Brings Coding to Rural Children Passage 2 (25-26九上·浙江义乌市苏溪镇初级中学·期中) Wang Maowei, a 40-year-old artist is good at making stick puppets (木偶). When he was a little boy, he watched how his parents performed those beautiful puppets, and how interesting those performances were. Gradually, he fell in love with it as a teenager. When he was 17, he went to Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, to learn puppet-making from a master. After spending seven years there, he returned to his hometown to work with the same group as his parents did. It takes 40 to 50 days to make a stick puppet. The average height of a puppet is 75 centimeters to 1 meter, and it has different costumes to fit different plays and stories. To make puppets, you need to have some basic knowledge of fine arts. The most difficult part is to persist (坚持) because it can be robotic and hard work. Wang was strict with himself. After at least five years of learning from his master, he began to think out new forms. “It is important to keep up with the times and be creative,” he said to himself.     Wang puts gears (齿轮) inside the puppet heads. He found a special kind of paper to make them work — the nose, eyes and mouth of a puppet will all move with the use of one stick. It lets puppet players put the puppets away easily. With the help of modern technology, his puppets can even perform bianlian or face-changing, to attract more young people. He has made some changes to the puppet plays. His group now only uses background music instead of local operas. This makes it easier for the young to understand. 1．When did Wang Maowei start learning puppet-making? A．When he was a teenager. B．When he was a little boy. C．When he was 24 years old. D．When he was 40 years old. 2．What does the underlined word robotic mean? A．interesting B．hard C．boring D．relaxing 3．According to the passage, what makes Wang Maowei’s puppet different? A．His master’s excellent skills. B．Young people’s love for puppets. C．His parents’ influence. D．His ability to create. 4．If you can watch Wang’s performance, what can you probably see? A．Some puppets looking like robots. B．Common puppets like others. C．Puppet performances with local operas. D．Puppets can do face-changing. Passage 3 (25-26九上·浙江浙江丽水·期中) One day, Susie was unhappy when she came home from school. “What’s the matter, my dear?” asked her mother, drawing her to her side and smiling. “All our class must hand in compositions tomorrow. We must write 12 lines at least. But I can never write one. I’ll have to go to school without a composition, for I won’t copy one from a book, or ask you or papa to write one for me.” “That’s right,” said her mother. “You’ll be happier with a poor composition, if it’s your own, than with a fine one written by somebody else. But cheer up. Run into the garden and play. I’ll call you in half an hour. Don’t think about your composition now. Just have a good time.” It seemed just a few minutes to Susie before she heard her mother calling her. She went into the house immediately — her hands full of sweet flowers, and her face red with exercise. Then her mother asked her to sit by the window with a nice piece of paper and a pencil, and write something about what she could see. “Never mind your composition; do this to please me, and we’ll talk about that later.” Although Susie thought her mother’s request was strange, she knew she always had a good reason for everything she did. So she did as her mother requested. As she looked out, she first saw the western sky and some bright, sunset clouds. “Oh, mother, what a sunset!” “Don’t talk. Just write.” The pencil began moving rapidly across the paper. She wrote about the sunset clouds, the look of the distant hills, the streets, the river, the garden with its flowers, and the birds flying past the window. She forgot all about the terrible composition! Just as she had reached the bottom of the page, her mother came in and said with a smile, “Well, Susie, how does that composition come on?” “Composition! You told me not to think about it, and I’ve never thought of it once. I’ve had such a nice time writing about what I could see from the window.” Mrs. Smith took the paper and read what Susie had written. She said, “There, Susie, that’s a very nice composition, really.” “A composition! Is that a composition?” Susie asked in surprise. “Yes, my dear, and a very good one, too, if we find a title for it,” replied her mother. Then she added, “I’m sure it will please your teacher, as it does me. You see, it’s easy enough to write a composition if you have anything interesting to write about.” 1．Susie was unhappy when she came home because _________. A．she was punished by her teacher B．she couldn’t write a composition C．she forgot to take her composition home D．she didn’t get on well with her classmates 2．From the story we can know Susie’s mother __________.

But at sunset there came an hour that was all his own. He’d climb a nearby hill and look across at a faraway house on another hill with its windows shining like gold. One day, his father called him over. “You’ve been a good boy and earned a holiday. Take today for yourself, but remember—time is valuable, and learn something good.” The boy thanked his father, kissed his mother, put some bread in his pocket, and set off to find the house with golden windows. It was pleasant walking at first. By and by he got hungry, so he sat by a stream and ate his bread. Then he fed bread to the birds, just like his mother taught him. After a long time, he reached the hill with the house. But he felt very disappointed—its windows were just glass. No gold at all. He almost cried. A kind woman came, asked what he wanted and laughed softly when he talked about the golden windows. “We’re poor farmers, too.” she said, and handed him milk and cake, then called her daughter who was about his age. “You came to the wrong house! Follow me.” the little girl said excitedly and took him to a hill behind the farm. “They only shine at sunset.” At the top, she turned and pointed. There, on a far hill, stood his own house—its windows shining like gold! The way home was long and dark. But the lamplight and firelight shone through the windows, making them almost as bright as he had seen them from the hilltop. “Have you learned anything?” asked his father. “Yes,” the boy smiled. “Our house has windows of gold.” 1．What does the underlined word “earned” probably mean?

Faced with my long and thick hair, Mum was a little helpless again. The weather made it even harder to brush (梳). I loved my hair, but I was tired of the daily battle (斗争) with it. To solve the problem, my grandma Kelly came to help. She had studied in a beauty school for months. Mum asked her to give me a new cut. After preparing, Kelly asked, “So what style would you like, Cindy?” I lifted the heavy hair off my neck, and said, “Is there a style that will be easy to brush?” Kelly thought for a moment, “I know.” She made her own hair into a knot (发髻) at her neck. “You could have it cut short like this. It would feel much cooler and easier. What do you think?” With her hair reaching the neck, Kelly looked so beautiful. I wanted to look like that too. “Yes,” I said. “Cut it.” Snip, snip…my hair rained onto the floor. Looking at it, I became a bit worried. When finished, Kelly held out a mirror, our faces were side by side. However, only her hair was long. Mine was so short! I could say nothing, ▲ “Oh, darling, what’s wrong?” Kelly asked. “It’s—it’s too short!” “It will be easy, and now we can see more of your beautiful face.” But her words didn’t help. In the following days, though everyone showed their love of my new cut, I didn’t feel any better. By the weekend, the weather was even hotter. We decided to go for a swim. As I jumped into water, something amazing happened. My head felt light and free. Without long hair covering my eyes, I swam like never before, faster and more freely. That evening, after my bath, I looked in the mirror again. I picked up the brush. For the first time, it moved down easily just as Kelly said. Smiling, I began to like my new short hair. 1．What made Cindy want to change her hair style? A．The terrible weather. B．The advice from friends. C．The heavy schoolwork.

I always failed exams and I didn’t think I was a smart boy. After that, I went to the woods to take a walk by myself. It was grey, which made me feel sad. On the way, I met an old man and told him about my decision. “Look around, young boy,” he said. “When I planted the ferns (蕨类) and the bamboo seeds (种子), I took good care of them. The ferns grew so quickly that their leaves soon covered the ground. However, nothing came from the bamboo seeds. In the second year, the ferns grew more quickly, but the bamboo seeds still didn’t sprout. This didn’t disappoint me and I cared for them as usual. Finally, in the fifth year, a tiny sprout came from earth. Compared with the ferns, it was so small and unimportant. But just six months later, the bamboo was over 100 feet tall.” “The bamboo had spent five years growing roots (根). And those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to grow up,” the man continued. “Now, tell me, what can you learn from this story?” I looked at the old man in surprise and couldn’t answer this unexpected question. The man smiled and said, “Young boy, first of all, you should realise the importance of being patient, because big changes usually take time. Never give up. Secondly, it’s easier to give up when things are not going your way. Why don’t you regard difficulties as chances of being better? Lastly, always believe in yourself. Don’t tell yourself how big the problem is. Just tell yourself how great you are!” 1．Why did the writer want to drop out of school? A．He didn’t like his teachers. B．He kept failing exams.

C．To be patient and believe in himself. D．To plant bamboo and ferns. 主题03 人与社会——社会服务与人际交往 Passage 1 (25-26九上·浙江宁波市余姚市·期中) I used to be really shy. When I first came to this new school, I became even shyer. But once I talked to my classmate in a math class. And then, I was punished to write a five-page passage about “Why I Shouldn’t Talk in Class”. It seemed like it would take me all night! After getting home, I spent some time feeding and playing with my cat first, so that I can avoid the hard task. When I finally started writing, I began with the reasons my teacher Ms. Black would like. I wrote that talking in class stopped me and my classmates from learning. After finishing one paragraph, I found it difficult to continue. I thought for a long time and then got an idea. What if talking led to a bad life like becoming a criminal? If I didn’t get an education and dropped out (辍学), I might steal things and go to the prison (监狱). And when I got out, people would say, “She used to talk in class.” The pages began flying by. When my mom came home from work, I was still complaining (抱怨), “Five pages? It’s impossible!” Mom said, “You should keep writing. I want to read it when you finish.” After dinner, I gave the passage to mom. I thought she would scold (指责) me or at least tell me to learn a lesson. But she laughed and laughed while reading.

Passage 2 (25-26九上·浙江舟山市普陀区·期中) Lhalung Dorje works for China Post in Ruo’ergai town, Sichuan Province. For many years, he has sent packages (包裹) and talked with local people. Through this work, he learned much about local products like dried meat, milk, vegetables, and fruits. In March 2021, he started his first livestreaming (直 播) sales event. He has held about 10 live events, getting nearly 4 million yuan. However,  his most important job is still sending mails. Ruo’ergai is in a mountainous area of western China where Tibetan and Qiang people live. The area has high mountains and difficult roads, so travel is dangerous here. Lhalung Dorje travels over 100 kilometers every week in these hard conditions. So far, he has traveled more than 500,000 kilometers and safely sent over 5 million packages. Lhalung Dorje’s father was also a postman. “My father was my hero. He wore his uniform, carried his bag, and walked through the mountains,” he said. As a child, he loved sitting on his father’s bike, feeling warm even in winter. In 2007, Lhalung Dorje followed his father’s example and became a postman. Over the years, he has faced many challenges, such as snowstorms, heavy rain, and falling rocks. Once, rocks fell on the road during a trip, but he still finished his work. These difficulties never stopped him. After short breaks, he always returned to his job. Lhalung Dorje’s story teaches us about hard work and love for one’s community.

She has lived in Beijing all her life. I asked her about life today and in the past. What was your life like in the past? My family lived in a tiny house. There were no electric lights, only candles. My father was a postman, and he often worked twelve hours a day outside in the cold winter or in the hot summer. My mum was a farm girl before she met my father. She was a considerate and loving mother. She didn’t go out to work. There were five children in my family, and looking after us was more than a full-time job. I remember the family meals. The food was simple. We could only eat meat once or twice a year. My family was not rich enough to send me to school, and what’s more, because I was a girl. How has life changed? Families have got smaller than they were in the past. Today, most people only have one child. The role of women has changed too. My daughter is really lucky. She has a good education, and she goes to work even after getting married. I’m happy to see she’s busy working every day, but sometimes I feel lonely because she can’t come to see me often. Transport and travel are easier today. When I was young, I went everywhere on foot or sometimes by bike. Now, you can take the bus everywhere, and there’s also the underground. And you young people can take a plane to anywhere in the world. The only thing I don’t like, though, is that there’s so much more traffic. It’s so difficult to cross the road. Of course, we didn’t have television when I was a child. I really enjoy watching television today. There are so many good programs, like the Beijing Opera and old films. But some of the shows are too noisy for me. Generally speaking, I think life is better today. We eat better and we live longer. 1．Why couldn’t Mrs Li receive education when she was a child?

The 44-year-old woman teaches Chinese, but she is very interested in computer technology. She has introduced coding (编程) to her students as an important information technology skill. Chen’s connection to coding began in November 2018. She became one of the first teachers in Cangyuan to take training courses on coding. The training was challenging for a beginner like Chen. She needed to learn how to tell a machine to perform actions and finish tasks through different orders. She worked very hard because she believed this skill would be useful for her students. After the training, Chen started a new group in her school to teach the students coding, but some parents opposed (反对) her plan. They didn’t understand what coding was and thought Chen was teaching their children to play video games on the computer. So, Chen could only teach students of her own class at first. For teens, coding does not include writing difficult coding languages. Instead, Chen taught them how to create interesting cartoons and games. After only one term, every student was able to create something through coding. Learning coding also helped them become more creative and improved their problem-solving skills. Soon, coding classes became popular in schools all over Cangyuan. Some students even won prizes in a national competition last year. “I will work harder and hope these children in mountain areas will have a better future by learning information technology,” Chen said. 1．In Paragraph 3, what does the underlined word “They” refer to?

Though heartbroken, Lisa did not give up. She practiced even harder, day after day, believing that one day she would prove herself. A year later, the same troupe returned to her town. Lisa, stronger and more skilled, went to see the leader again. This time, she danced with all her heart and soul. The leader watched intently, and when she finished, he smiled. “I remember your gift of roses and how the thorns had hurt your fingers but you carried on bravely. I told you that you were not good enough. In fact, I tell this to every student to test their determination. But you did not give up.

Della and her husband Jim had two things which they were both proud of. One was Jim’s gold watch. It was from his father and his grandfather. The other was Della’s beautiful hair.

I sold my hair to buy you a Christmas gift.” Jim took a box from his pocket and put it on the table. Della opened it. And it was the set of combs that she had always wanted. Now the combs were hers, but her hair was gone. She smiled and held out Jim’s gift. “I searched all over town to find it. Give me your watch.

For most people, this is not a big problem. For me, however, it’s hard to find a Mother’s Day gift that will satisfy both Mama and me. Expensive gifts are out because they make Mama feel terrible. “This is awful, Julie,” she says. “You shouldn’t have spent the money on me.” Inexpensive gifts please Mama, but they make me feel terrible. There is always the danger that a gift given to Mama will bounce back (反弹) to me. If I buy her something to wear, it turns out to fit me perfectly. If I give her a plant, she cuts off the top for me to take home and root (生根) in a glass of water. If I give her something to eat, she wants me to share it with her. Papa stopped trying to shop for Mama long ago. On Mother’s Day or her birthday, he writes a poem. Papa is not a good poet, but Mama doesn’t mind. She says, “It doesn’t have to rhyme (押韵) as long as it’s from the heart.” This year, finally, I think I, too, have found a painless gift for Mama.

I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around and found a little old lady with a warm smile. She said, “Hi, handsome. My name is Rose. I’m eighty-seven years old.” “Why are you in university at such a ‘young’ age?” I asked. She replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of kids, and then retire (退休) and travel.” I knew she was joking. I was curious about what might have encouraged her to take on this challenge at her age. “I always dreamed of having a university education and now I’m getting one!” she told me. We became friends. Every day we would talk nonstop after class. I always enjoyed listening to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom and experience with me. And Rose easily made friends wherever she went. At the end of the term, we invited Rose to make a little speech. She cleared her throat and began, “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. I’ve learned a few secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die.” “There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent or ability.

We knew that this wasn’t going to be another normal day, but a special one. “Please calm down and sit,” said Mr. Johnson, “I’m glad everyone’s here for the final reading test of the year.” When everyone cried, Mr. Johnson laughed, saying it was just a joke. Then he reminded us that we still had a job to do. “You need to clean out your desks and put all your things into your backpacks.” he added gently. As we began our task, Mr. Johnson turned on the CD player. The lively music made the room feel like a party. Some of us started singing along with the music, others were dancing around their desks while they were cleaning them out. Even Mr. Johnson showed us a few dance steps, making everyone laugh heartily. After we finished cleaning, someone asked, “When is break time?” Mr. Johnson took out some balls and started playing with them. Suddenly, he let the balls drop and said, “Break time starts ... now!” Just as we were about to rush out, our headmaster, Mrs. Miller, appeared at the door. “Mr. Johnson!” she cried out. A moment of silence fell over the room as we thought, “Mr. Johnson might be in trouble.” However, to our surprise, Mrs. Miller couldn’t help but laugh at the sight and left us to enjoy our break.

While teaching in Chongqing, I had chances to travel all across Asia. My adventure (冒险) to the Gobi Desert was one of my favorites. My trip took me from the rainbow mountains of Zhangye Danxia, to Jiayuguan, an ancient fort (要塞) on the Great Wall of China. I ended at Dunhuang, one of the central parts of the Silk Road in the Gobi Desert. I did the journey all by myself. A trip alone meant that I had to depend on my Mandarin speaking skills. When I first arrived in China my Mandarin was not good, but I tried to speak to local families and children on the trains. They were all very friendly. I had families practicing English with me as well. We all got our translation apps open when there was an unfamiliar word. Mount Everest was my last major trip before leaving China. I traveled through the grand Potala Palace in Lhasa, Xizang, to the blue Yamdrok Lake, before making my way to the famous mountain with a tour group. It was amazing to put myself into Xizang’s culture and experience the world through their eyes. I used my language skills to help our group order food in the markets and translate into English when our guide couldn’t find a proper word to express something. Physically, the terrain (地形) was unique, and the high height and short of oxygen made me feel sick. As a result, I couldn’t sleep well at night. “I remembered clearly waking up in the night to get my oxygen tank (氧气瓶) many times. However, I made it. After three days’ traveling, we finally saw sunset and sunrise at the top of Base Camp of Mount Everest. The whole experience made me fall in love with traveling, and gave me the desire (欲望) to experience even more of the world. 1．How was the author’s Mandarin when he first arrived in China? A．Good. B．Poor. C．Excellent. D．Unknown. 2．Why couldn’t the author sleep well at night? A．Because he felt uncomfortable on the high mountain. B．Because he had slept too much during the daytime.

My husband kept running after her, out of breath, I shouted to my husband, “Tom, be careful when you cross the street!” Within minutes, traffic was actually stopped on Wireless Road. Several good people got out of their cars to help us to get the dog back. Soon, she ran into a safer area and back to our street, With the help of six strangers, we caught her within a few minutes, everyone cheered, and we thanked the helpers again and again. With Lizzy safely back inside, we drove straight to the hospital at once and were able to see our daughter in the delivery room (产房).

Her passion lasted until her death on October 1st, 2025. Born in Britain, Goodall went to work in Africa in 1957. Later, Louis Leakey, an anthropologist (人类学家), invited her to study chimpanzees with him. From then on, Goodall began her pioneering research on chimpanzees in Tanzania in 1960. She also got a Ph.D．at the University of Cambridge in 1966. Her research was different. Instead of simply watching the animals far away and giving them numbers like other scientists, she lived closely with the chimpanzees, gave them names, and built personal relationships with them. These unusual methods (方法) were questioned by some scientists. However, Goodall is believed to be the only person accepted into chimpanzee society. Goodall said, “... if we have a soul (心灵), then so do the chimpanzees. I could spend hours out in the forest, being with the chimpanzees. These were the best days of my life.” After seeing a film about lab animals in 1986, she said, “I knew I had to do something.” She was travelling and giving speeches almost 300 days a year until her death. “If you want to save wild animals, you have to find ways for local people to live without harming the environment and then think about what future children could have if we go on business as usual.” she said. The story of Goodall has encouraged many people, especially girls and women. Goodall showed us women can be pioneering scientists as well as mothers. She encouraged girls and women to be brave and follow their own paths. 1．Which is the right order according to the text?

I’ve been in China for 14 years. I feel very lucky about my life here. I’ve seen many places, learned a lot, and got to know China’s rich culture. I like the traditional and historical parts of the cities I visit. China’s old buildings, customs, and stories always interest me. But I also try to enjoy the modern side of life here. To really understand a culture, you need to step out of your comfort zone and talk to the people there every day. But this is not easy for me because I’m kind of shy. I’ve exercised a lot since I was a teenager. But I usually do sports alone, like running and swimming. So when two friends asked me to try a group HIIT class called F45, I wasn’t sure. I wasn’t worried about how hard the exercise would be. I thought I was in good shape. (I soon found out I was wrong!) But the idea of being with a group of people scared me. I didn’t like the thought of exercising, sweating, and maybe looking silly in front of strangers. And I didn’t like the idea of high-fiving everyone after the class. I thought the class would be full of very good athletes competing with each other. But I was so wrong. In fact, I found a very nice group of people. They were of different ages, from different places, and had different fitness levels. They just wanted to have 45 minutes (that’s what the 45 in F45 means) of exercise, get some encouragement, and have fun. It didn’t take long for me to feel at home. Four years later, I’m really glad I tried it. I’ve done better than I thought. I got 1st place in the F45 Playoffs men’s doubles relay and 3rd place in Hyrox Shanghai. I never thought I could do this when I first went to the class. But the best thing is the friends I’ve made. I’ve met new people and I know we’ll be friends for a long time. It’s not easy to make long-lasting friends, especially when you live in a foreign country.

China is a big and very interesting country. I’ve only learned a little about it. But the most important things I’ve learned didn’t come from guidebooks or tours. They came from talking with people and making friends over time. I still don’t like the high-fives, though. 1．Why does the writer think living abroad is a great experience?
