The parade included two parts: a ceremony and a march-past. It lasted about 70 minutes. Before the event, all preparation work was nearly finished. The soldiers taking part in the parade were full of energy, waiting to be reviewed. Everyone wanted to celebrate this special day that honors the victory of the anti-fascist (反法西斯的) war. Many kinds of weapons (武器) and equipment (装备) were shown during the parade. All of these items were made in China. Some new types of equipment appeared for the first time. This showed that the country’s military has the ability to protect its people and keep peace in the region. The main goals of holding this parade were to remember history, honor those who died for the country, value peace and work for a better future. It also let the world know that the country will keep following the rules of international order and support fairness for all countries. However, one country made an improper decision. The media reported that the country called for other nations to avoid joining the memorial events in Beijing. In response, the Chinese government expressed its disagreement seriously and asked for a clear explanation. A Chinese official said that any country that looks at history honestly, learns from the past and works for peace will not be against such meaningful events. Many international media outlets (媒体机构) reported on this parade. For example, a famous news network mentioned that the parade gave people a good chance to see the fast development of China’s military technology.

Its media reported that the country called for other nations to avoid joining the memorial events in Beijing.”，说明某个国家做出了错误的决定，结合选项和语境可知，该国呼吁其他国家不要参加在北京举行的纪念活动，因此“avoid”意为“避开、不参加”，与keep away from同义。 3．第三段说明：“This showed that the country’s military has the ability to protect its people”，说明该国军队有能力保护人民。 4．文章围绕北京举办的盛大纪念阅兵展开，介绍其流程、装备、目的与国际反响，最佳标题为“A Grand Memorial Parade in Beijing”。 Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·湖南长沙·期中）Sanxingdui was a great ancient civilization during the late Shang Dynasty.

There are many interesting things like strange masks and statues. They make us wonder about ancient life. For many years, experts have tried to solve its mysteries. One big mystery is why the Sanxingdui civilization (文明) suddenly disappeared. People there broke or burned hundreds of jade (玉), bronze, and ivory objects and then buried them. After that, the civilization was gone. Where did the people go? At about the same time, a similar civilization appeared in Jinsha, about 38 kilometers away. Most experts think Jinsha civilization continued the culture of Sanxingdui. But why did they move? This is still a question. Was it because of war or floods? After the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, a scientist named Fan Niannian had an idea. He said a big earthquake might have caused a landslide (塌方) The landslide changed the way a river flowed. Then, Sanxingdui lost its water. Without water, people had to leave. However, this idea doesn’t explain everything. Why did they break and bury their treasures instead of taking them away?

A team of scientists from the University of North Carolina, USA, believe that 31 of the pyramids, including the famous Great Pyramid of Giza, were probably built along a part of the River Nile that has been lost for a long time. For years, scientists have thought that ancient Egyptians used a waterway nearby, but Eman Ghoneim, who led the study, says nobody was certain about the location of it. The team used special technology, historical maps and samples (样本) from the ground to find the hidden part of the River Nile under the sand. They believe this was used to transport (运输) heavy stones and tools to build the pyramids. But over time, sandstorms covered it and it dried up. This hidden part of the River Nile is called “Ahramat”, which means “pyramids” in the Arabic language. It’s thought it was about 39 miles long and between 200 and 700 meters wide. Before it got covered in sand, this river was next to the pyramids built between 4,700 and 3,700 years ago. The team says discovering this lost part of the river helps explain why there are so many pyramids in such a challenging desert place. It’s like solving a big puzzle (不解之谜) from long ago! 1．What mystery do scientists think they’ve solved? A．Who built the pyramids. B．How the pyramids were built in the desert. C．When the pyramids were discovered. 2．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．The River Nile. B．The Great Pyramid of Giza. C．The mysterious waterway. 3．What was the use of the hidden part of the River Nile? A．To transport materials to build the pyramids. B．To keep the pyramids wet. C．To provide drinking water for pyramid builders. 4．What does the writer mainly want to show us in the last paragraph? A．How clever ancient Egyptians were. B．How difficult it was to build the pyramids. C．The importance of the discovery. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文介绍了美国北卡罗来纳大学的科学家团队发现了撒哈拉沙漠中金字塔建造的关键线索——一条消失已久的尼罗河分支，解释了古埃及人如何在沙漠中运输建造金字塔的材料。 【详解】1．细节理解题。根据“the mystery of how the pyramids were built in the huge Sahara Desert has left scientists scratching their heads... but now they think they’ve found the answer”可知，科学家认为他们解决了“沙漠中金字塔是如何建造的”这一谜题，故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据“scientists have thought that ancient Egyptians used a waterway nearby, but Eman Ghoneim... says nobody was certain about the location of it”可知，“it”指代前文提到的“a waterway nearby（神秘的水道）”，故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“They believe this was used to transport heavy stones and tools to build the pyramids”可知，这条隐藏的尼罗河分支是用来运输建造金字塔的材料的，故选A。 4．主旨大意题。根据“discovering this lost part of the river helps explain how there are so many pyramids in such a challenging desert place. It’s like solving a big puzzle from long ago”可知，最后一段主要说明这一发现的重要性，故选C。 主题05 人与自然——动物与植物 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·湖南永州·期中）When it comes to traveling, most people would choose to go with their families or friends. But now, many are choosing new travel buddies (旅游搭子)—their pets. Zeng Qingbin is one such person. Over the past eight years, the 35-year-old from Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, has traveled across the country with his dogs—Chai Chai and Ba Bao. In Zeng’s eyes, these dogs are like his children. “I’ve always dreamed of letting them run freely on vast (广阔的) grasslands with snow-capped mountains in the background,” Zeng said. As traveling with pets becomes more popular in China, related (相关的) services are also growing. Zhang Wei, who works on pet hiking, has organized about 180 pet trips since 2022. “Safety (安全) is the most important, and all the guides are trained to deal with emergencies in the mountains,” Zhang said. Before a trip, Zhang’s team asks pet owners to write something down about their dogs to provide a better service. At the same time, airlines have begun offering services for pet owners to travel across the country and even internationally. On June 14, China’s first outbound (出境的) flight allowing pets landed at Shanghai Pudong International Airport after taking 18 pet dogs to Thailand. Though the pet tourism industry (旅游产业) still faces many challenges in China, people are expecting it can be better, experts said. Zeng is looking forward to having more travel options (选择) for his dogs in the future. “I plan to explore (探索) with my dogs and let them experience the world,” said Zeng. 1．Why did Zeng travel with his dogs? A．He didn’t like to travel with people. B．He wanted to train his dogs to climb mountains. C．He wanted them to explore the world. 2．What does the underlined word “emergencies” mean in Paragraph 5?

You might be surprised to find that many “foreign” products are actually made in China. Take toys as an example. Most toys sold in Europe and America are made in China. There are several reasons for this. First, China has many factories that can produce toys in large numbers. Second, the materials used to make toys, like plastic and cotton, are easy to get in China. Third, Chinese workers are skillful and hard-working. Another example is electronic products. Many famous brands’ phones and computers are assembled (组装) in China. The parts come from different countries, but the final product is put together in Chinese factories. This is because China has advanced (先进的) manufacturing (制造) technology. However, things are changing. More and more Chinese products are becoming famous around the world. For example, Huawei phones are sold in over 170 countries. Gree air conditioners are popular in Europe. These products are not only made in China but also designed in China. “Made in China” is no longer just about cheap products. It now stands for quality and innovation (创新). As one businessman said, “China is not just a factory for the world, but also a creator.” 1．What do most toys sold in Europe and America have in common? A．They are expensive. B．They are made in China. C．They are made of plastic. 2．Why are many electronic products assembled in China? A．Because China has advanced manufacturing technology. B．Because China has cheap workers. C．Because China has many raw materials. 3．What does “Made in China” stand for now? A．Cheapness and low quality. B．Quality and innovation. C．Raw materials and factories. 4．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Chinese toys are popular all over the world. B．Many foreign products are made in China. C．“Made in China” has changed its meaning. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了许多“外国”产品实际上是在中国制造的，分析了其原因，并指出“中国制造”的含义正在从廉价产品转变为质量与创新。 【详解】1．第二段指出“Most toys sold in Europe and America are made in China.”，说明欧美销售的大多数玩具的共同点是中国制造。 2．第三段指出“This is because China has advanced manufacturing technology.”，说明电子产品在中国组装是因为中国拥有先进的制造技术。 3．最后一段指出“It now stands for quality and innovation.”，说明“中国制造”现在代表着质量和创新。 4．文章先介绍了许多产品在中国制造的现象及原因，随后通过“However”转折，指出“中国制造”的含义正在发生变化，不再仅代表廉价，而是代表质量和创新，因此“Made in China has changed its meaning”最能概括文章主旨。 Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·湖南怀化·期中）When October comes, people in China start to see ads for the Double Eleven Shopping Festival, also called Singles’ Day. This event began in 2009 and is now the biggest online shopping day in China. The 2025 festival will be its 17th year, showing its long-lasting influence. It used to be a 24-hour online sale on November 11th. Now, it has become a much longer event, often starting in early October. This year, JD．com began its activities on October 9th, and Douyin made its shopping period last for 57 days. The longer festival shows how shopping habits are changing. Today’s shoppers are often calmer and more rational. Many find it annoying to wait for presales or to work out complex discounts (复杂的折扣). So, shopping platforms are using simpler methods like “direct discounts” and “instant price cuts” to make shopping easier. For bigger sellers, the longer season makes it easier to manage stock and reduces work pressure. But some smaller shops find it hard because getting new customers costs more and there is strong competition to be seen. The longer festival also shows how competitive e-commerce platforms are. With different platforms like Douyin, Pinduoduo, and Xiaohongshu, making the shopping season longer helps keep customers interested. It also helps spread out delivery pressure, avoiding the warehouse (仓库) problems and late deliveries that happened in the past. Even though the longer Double Eleven might make the single-day sale feel less urgent, it is still an important test for the online shopping system. It also shows new technologies like AI-assisted shopping and instant retail (零售). After 17 years, Double Eleven is not just about shopping; it is also a sign of China’s consumption trends and the health of its digital economy. 1．What can we learn about the Double Eleven Shopping Festival from Paragraph 1? A．JD．com always starts its activities on October 9th. B．It has developed into a long-lasting sales event. C．It was first held to celebrate Singles’ Day. 2．Why do e-commerce platforms use simpler discount methods? A．To lower their operating costs. B．To attract more big sellers. C．To suit shoppers’ more rational needs. 3．What is a benefit of the longer Double Eleven for larger sellers? A．Cheaper costs to get new customers. B．Fewer competitors on sales. C．Easier stock management. 4．What is the best title of the text? A．The History of Double Eleven B．The Development of China’s Double Eleven C．The Platforms of the Shopping Festival 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文主要讲述了中国的“双十一购物节”的发展、变化及其影响。 【详解】1．细节理解题。根据“This event began in 2009 and is now the biggest online shopping day in China. The 2025 festival will be its 17th year, showing its long-lasting influence. It used to be a 24-hour online sale on November 11th.

It is reported that blind boxes are getting more and more popular in the big cities in China. Blind boxes, or “manghe” in Chinese, are always a collection of figurines (人形的小雕像) sold in the same boxes. The figurines are specially designed based on characters from the cartoons or superheroes in the movies. Each is put randomly (随机地) in a sealed (密封的) box so that the buyers, who do not know what is inside, will have a feeling of surprise and expectation and be willing to buy one after another to get a full set. “Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.” This is a famous line in an American movie, Forrest Gump (1994). It seems to be the idea of opening the blind boxes, but in fact, they first appeared in Japan and they were invented after the “lucky bags”. The bags were little ones filled with toys or clothes out of fashion. People could get the bag at much lower price than the total price of the things in it. But you couldn’t know what you were buying either. “Now the blind boxes have taken the young market by storm and you can see blind box stores almost everywhere downtown,” said Victor, a blind box designer. “Office ladies and college students in the cities are buying most of the boxes. Females pay for 62.6 percent of them. They like to buy cute things to decorate (装饰) their desks and opening the boxes is a great way to free themselves from stress.” “The blind boxes can blind people.” Prof. Lee from a university is studying the new fashion. “The lovers often spend too much collecting all the figurines of a certain set and some of them are crazy about the secret design (隐藏款) and make it far more expensive. It’s really a waste of money and people may get more stressed.” 1．What is a blind box? A．A box with a figurine in it. B．A box designed for the blind. C．A box filled with toys or clothes 2．Where is the blind box from? A．China. B．The US. C．Japan. 3．What does the underlined part “take...by storm” mean in Paragraph 5? A．刮风 B．摧毁 C．席卷 4．According to the passage, which of the following would Prof. Lee agree with? A．Young people need to know more about the blind boxes. B．Blind box lovers shouldn’t spend too much on “lucky bags”. C．People can’t always free themselves from stress by opening blind boxes. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．C 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了盲盒在中国的流行现象、其设计理念与起源，以及它对消费者尤其是年轻群体的吸引力和潜在问题。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Blind boxes, or ‘manghe’ in Chinese, are always a collection of figurines (人形的小雕像) sold in the same boxes.”可知，盲盒是一个盒子，里面有一个小雕像。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段中“It seems to be the idea of opening the blind boxes, but in fact, they first appeared in Japan and they were invented after the ‘lucky bags’.”可知，盲盒来自日本。故选C。 3．词句猜测题。根据第五段中“‘Now the blind boxes have taken the young market by storm and you can see blind box stores almost everywhere downtown,’ said Victor, a blind box designer.”可知，盲盒设计师维克多说：“现在盲盒已经席卷了年轻市场，你几乎可以在市中心的任何地方看到盲盒商店”。由此可知，下划线部分“take...by storm”的中文意思最有可能是“席卷”。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段内容“‘The blind boxes can blind people.’ Prof. Lee from a university is studying the new fashion.‘The lovers often spend too much collecting all the figurines of a certain set and some of them are crazy about the secret design (隐藏款) and make it far more expensive. It’s really a waste of money and people may get more stressed.’”可知，Prof. Lee同意“人们总是不能通过打开盲盒来摆脱压力”的观点。故选C。 主题02 人与社会——文化 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·湖南永州·期中）Learn about the history of China’s ceramics (瓷器) Proto-porcelain 原始瓷 Mature porcelain 成熟瓷 Celadons from the Yue kilns in Zhejiang 浙江越窑青瓷 The “five kilns” 五大名窑 Qinghua wares 青花瓷 Multicolored porcelain 彩瓷 Shang (c. 16thcentury-11thcentury BC) and Zhou (c. 11th century-256 BC) dynasties Late Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220) Tang Dynasty (618-907) Song Dynasty (960-1279) Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368) Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties It was used to make many everyday things.

It was used in ancient China, Rome, Egypt and Greece. Today some people are still using it. TCM Today when people in the West need medical help, they often choose a “new” kind of medicine that is actually quite old. They choose traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). TCM uses many different kinds of treatments. Herbal (药草的) medicines are used, for example, to help bring balance to people. Many of the treatments used in TCM have helped people for thousands of years. Kung fu “Kung fu” is the popular name given to Chinese martial arts in the West. It refers to a number of different types of fighting that have developed more than hundreds of years in China. These different styles are often called “schools”.

But scientists have found an amazing tree. It not only lives through lightning strikes (击中) but actually grows better because of them For years, scientists thought lightning was only bad for trees. But as they explored places like the Amazon rainforest, they started to think there could be trees that fight against lightning. It wasn’t until about 100 years ago that such “super trees” were discovered. Now, they know of a tree that uses lightning’s power to kill nearby trees and get more sunlight and nutrients (营养) for itself. In 2015, scientist Evan Gora saw a Dipterix oleifera tree, which had been struck by strong lightning. It wasn’t badly harmed while the neighboring trees were killed. Scientists thought this tree could handle lightning, but there was no way to be sure. Gora and his team saw more of these trees that grew well after lightning strikes. So, they did a study. They followed 93 trees struck by lightning for 2-6 years. They found that all 9 Dipterix oleifera trees in the study survived with little harm. But 84 other trees were badly hurt, and 64% of them died within two years. These Dipterix oleifera trees are very tall and have wide tops, making them 68% more likely to be struck by lightning than other trees. During the study, one of the Dipterix trees was struck twice in 5 years yet continued to grow well. At present, more studies suggest that these trees draw lightning on purpose to destroy other trees and grow better. Scientists are not sure how these trees survive lightning, but they guess it may involve the trees’ ability to carry electricity. They are also interested in other trees with similar characteristics. 1．What is special about the Dipterix oleifera tree? A．It grows better after being struck by lightning. B．It takes in nutrients directly from lightning. C．It avoids lightning by hiding under other trees. 2．What does the underlined word “handle” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．deal with. B．Give out. C．Mix up. 3．Why do Dipterix oleifera trees draw lightning? A．To protect other trees around them. B．To kill nearby trees for growth. C．To become shorter and stronger. 4．What might scientists do next according to the text? A．Plant more Dipterx oleifera trees. B．Study how trees draw lightning better. C．Look for more trees that can survive lightning. 【答案】1．A 2．A 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了一种特殊的树——Dipterix oleifera，这种树在被闪电击中后不仅不会死亡，反而会生长得更好。科学家们对此进行了研究，并发现这种树似乎有意吸引闪电，以摧毁周围的树木从而获得更多的阳光和养分。 【详解】1．细节理解题。根据第一段“It not only lives through lightning strikes but actually grows better because of them.”以及后文对Dipterix oleifera树的描述可知，这种树在被闪电击中后不仅存活下来，而且生长得更好。故选A。 2．词句猜测题。根据第三段“It wasn’t badly harmed while the neighboring trees were killed. Scientists thought this tree could handle lightning, but there was no way to be sure.”可知，这棵树没有被严重伤害，而邻近的树却被杀死了，科学家认为这棵树能够应对闪电，但无法确定。由此可推断，“handle”在此处意为“应对，处理”，与“deal with”意思相近。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段“At present, more studies suggest that these trees draw lightning on purpose to destroy other trees and grow better.”可知，目前更多的研究表明，这些树有意吸引闪电是为了摧毁其他树木，从而生长得更好。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Scientists are not sure how these trees survive lightning, but they guess it may involve the trees’ ability to carry electricity. They are also interested in other trees with similar characteristics.”可知，科学家们不确定这些树是如何在闪电中存活的，但他们猜测这可能与树的导电能力有关，同时他们也对其他具有类似特性的树感兴趣。由此可推断，科学家们接下来可能会寻找更多能在闪电中存活的树。故选C。 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·湖南娄底·期中）Some animals can easily find their way home after a long journey. How do they make it? Scientific research shows that they are born with certain unusual abilities for direction. A certain kind of ants, for example, can count their steps to avoid (避免) getting lost. They can go as far as 110 meters and bring food home. These ants live in the open desert, so they have nothing to guide them along the way. It’s like someone walking six kilometers through a dark forest. Some fish have an unbelievable sense of smell. They can smell even a single drop of their home water in a large sea area. Some sea birds have a similar ability. They are able to make a smell map of their flying area. Some animals can sense the earth’s magnetic field (磁场), while humans can’t. This magnetic field guides a certain kind of fish when they swim a long way to a place and then back. How can this kind of fish do that? It is still a mystery. Scientists have no good answers yet. However, animals with such unusual abilities still have difficulty dealing with environmental changes caused by human activities. For example, many birds depend on stars for direction, but they get lost easily at night when city lights are kept on all night. To solve this problem, we can simply turn off some lights at night. Clearly, one small act of humans may mean a lot to animals. 1．How can a certain kind of ants find their way? A．By imagining the way. B．By counting their steps. C．By walking through a forest. 2．What does the underlined word “mystery” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Secret. B．Choice. C．Reason. 3．What are people advised to do according to the last paragraph? A．To help animals. B．To keep city lights on. C．To develop unusual abilities. 4．Which can be the best title for the passage? A．Birds’ Sense of Light B．Fish’s Sense of Smell C．Animals’ Sense of Direction 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文介绍了动物天生具有方向感的特殊能力，并指出人类活动对动物导航能力的影响。 【详解】1．细节理解题。根据“A certain kind of ants, for example, can count their steps to avoid getting lost.”可知，某种蚂蚁通过数步数来认路。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据“How can this kind of fish do that? It is still a mystery. Scientists have no good answers yet.”可知，这种鱼如何做到这一点仍然是一个“谜”，科学家还没有好的答案。因此mystery意为“秘密，谜”。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“To solve this problem, we can simply turn off some lights at night.”可知，人们被建议通过关掉一些夜间灯光来帮助动物。故选A。 4．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了蚂蚁、鱼类、海鸟等动物利用步数计数、嗅觉、磁场感应等不同方式辨别方向的能力，因此“动物的方向感”是最佳标题。故选C。 Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·湖南株洲·期中） Chopsticks were invented at least 3,000 years ago. Emperor Xin, also called King Zhou, the last king of the Shang Dynasty, already used ivory chopsticks. Common people used chopsticks made of bamboo or wood. Later, there were also metal (金属) chopsticks. More than 2,000 years ago, Mozi made the first kite. It was a wooden bird. Kites were first used as a sign to ask for help in the fight. Flying kites became people’s favorite outdoor activity in the Song Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, Bi Sheng invented the moveable type. First, Bi made clay Chinese characters. Then he fired them at a high temperature. When Bi needed to print books, he arranged (排列) the clay characters in a metal holder and then brushed them with ink (墨水). 1．What were the chopsticks used by common people made of in the Shang Dynasty? A．Bamboo or ivory. B．Bamboo or wood. C．Wood or metal. 2．What were used as a sign to ask for help in the fight? A．Chopsticks. B．Seismograph. C．Kites. 3．Which is the second step of the moveable type? A．Firing the clay pieces at a high heat B．Brushing the clay characters with ink C．Making clay Chinese characters 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 【导语】本文分别介绍了筷子、风筝、活字印刷三项中国古代发明的起源、材质与用途发展。 【详解】1．根据表一后数第二句：“Common people used chopsticks made of bamboo or wood. ”可知商朝百姓使用竹制或木制筷子。 2．根据表二第三句：“Kites were first used as a sign to ask for help in the fight.”可知最早风筝在战争中用作求救信号。 3．根据表三可知活字印刷的制作过程：“First, make clay characters → Then fire them at high temperature → arrange and brush ink” 可知第二步高温烧制泥字，对应选项A。 Passage 3 （24-25九年级上·湖南株洲·期中） City walking is different from going shopping.

It showed the development of the country and its military (军事) forces, and also helped people remember the spirit of fighting for national independence. The parade included two parts: a ceremony and a march-past. It lasted about 70 minutes. Before the event, all preparation work was nearly finished. The soldiers taking part in the parade were full of energy, waiting to be reviewed. Everyone wanted to celebrate this special day that honors the victory of the anti-fascist (反法西斯的) war. Many kinds of weapons (武器) and equipment (装备) were shown during the parade. All of these items were made in China. Some new types of equipment appeared for the first time. This showed that the country’s military has the ability to protect its people and keep peace in the region. The main goals of holding this parade were to remember history, honor those who died for the country, value peace and work for a better future. It also let the world know that the country will keep following the rules of international order and support fairness for all countries. However, one country made an improper decision. The media reported that the country called for other nations to avoid joining the memorial events in Beijing. In response, the Chinese government expressed its disagreement seriously and asked for a clear explanation. A Chinese official said that any country that looks at history honestly, learns from the past and works for peace will not be against such meaningful events. Many international media outlets (媒体机构) reported on this parade. For example, a famous news network mentioned that the parade gave people a good chance to see the fast development of China’s military technology.

It had a highly developed bronze (青铜) culture. However, there is no written record of it, so we still don’t know much about it today. The Sanxingdui Site is one of the most important archaeological (考古) discoveries of the 20th century. It has attracted people from all over the world. There are many interesting things like strange masks and statues. They make us wonder about ancient life. For many years, experts have tried to solve its mysteries. One big mystery is why the Sanxingdui civilization (文明) suddenly disappeared. People there broke or burned hundreds of jade (玉), bronze, and ivory objects and then buried them. After that, the civilization was gone. Where did the people go? At about the same time, a similar civilization appeared in Jinsha, about 38 kilometers away. Most experts think Jinsha civilization continued the culture of Sanxingdui. But why did they move? This is still a question. Was it because of war or floods? After the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, a scientist named Fan Niannian had an idea. He said a big earthquake might have caused a landslide (塌方) The landslide changed the way a river flowed. Then, Sanxingdui lost its water. Without water, people had to leave. However, this idea doesn’t explain everything. Why did they break and bury their treasures instead of taking them away? Was it for a special ceremony? Evidence (证据) shows they did it carefully, not in a hurry. This is still a mystery today. 1．What do we know about Sanxingdui? A．Sanxingdui was a great ancient civilization during the late Zhou Dynasty. B．It has no written record. C．It was destroyed by people. 2．What do most experts think about Jinsha civilization? A．It continued Sanxingdui’s culture. B．It bought things from Sanxingdui. C．It had no connection with Sanxingdui. 3．Why did people maybe leave Sanxingdui according to Fan? A．Because there was no rain for long. B．Because other groups attacked them. C．Because a landslide changed their water. 4．What is still a mystery about Sanxingdui? A．Why they moved to Jinsha. B．Why they carefully broke their treasures. C．How powerful the earthquake was. Passage 3 （2025-26·湖南衡阳·期中） For thousands of years, the mystery of how the pyramids were built in the huge Sahara Desert has left scientists scratching their heads (苦思冥想), but now they think they’ve found the answer. A team of scientists from the University of North Carolina, USA, believe that 31 of the pyramids, including the famous Great Pyramid of Giza, were probably built along a part of the River Nile that has been lost for a long time. For years, scientists have thought that ancient Egyptians used a waterway nearby, but Eman Ghoneim, who led the study, says nobody was certain about the location of it. The team used special technology, historical maps and samples (样本) from the ground to find the hidden part of the River Nile under the sand. They believe this was used to transport (运输) heavy stones and tools to build the pyramids. But over time, sandstorms covered it and it dried up. This hidden part of the River Nile is called “Ahramat”, which means “pyramids” in the Arabic language. It’s thought it was about 39 miles long and between 200 and 700 meters wide. Before it got covered in sand, this river was next to the pyramids built between 4,700 and 3,700 years ago. The team says discovering this lost part of the river helps explain why there are so many pyramids in such a challenging desert place. It’s like solving a big puzzle (不解之谜) from long ago! 1．What mystery do scientists think they’ve solved? A．Who built the pyramids. B．How the pyramids were built in the desert. C．When the pyramids were discovered. 2．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．The River Nile. B．The Great Pyramid of Giza. C．The mysterious waterway. 3．What was the use of the hidden part of the River Nile? A．To transport materials to build the pyramids. B．To keep the pyramids wet. C．To provide drinking water for pyramid builders. 4．What does the writer mainly want to show us in the last paragraph? A．How clever ancient Egyptians were. B．How difficult it was to build the pyramids. C．The importance of the discovery. 主题05 人与自然——动物与植物 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·湖南永州·期中）When it comes to traveling, most people would choose to go with their families or friends. But now, many are choosing new travel buddies (旅游搭子)—their pets. Zeng Qingbin is one such person. Over the past eight years, the 35-year-old from Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, has traveled across the country with his dogs—Chai Chai and Ba Bao. In Zeng’s eyes, these dogs are like his children. “I’ve always dreamed of letting them run freely on vast (广阔的) grasslands with snow-capped mountains in the background,” Zeng said. As traveling with pets becomes more popular in China, related (相关的) services are also growing. Zhang Wei, who works on pet hiking, has organized about 180 pet trips since 2022. “Safety (安全) is the most important, and all the guides are trained to deal with emergencies in the mountains,” Zhang said. Before a trip, Zhang’s team asks pet owners to write something down about their dogs to provide a better service. At the same time, airlines have begun offering services for pet owners to travel across the country and even internationally. On June 14, China’s first outbound (出境的) flight allowing pets landed at Shanghai Pudong International Airport after taking 18 pet dogs to Thailand. Though the pet tourism industry (旅游产业) still faces many challenges in China, people are expecting it can be better, experts said. Zeng is looking forward to having more travel options (选择) for his dogs in the future. “I plan to explore (探索) with my dogs and let them experience the world,” said Zeng. 1．Why did Zeng travel with his dogs? A．He didn’t like to travel with people. B．He wanted to train his dogs to climb mountains. C．He wanted them to explore the world. 2．What does the underlined word “emergencies” mean in Paragraph 5?

C．To show the pet tourism industry in China is hopeful. 4．What’s the best title of the passage? A．Traveling with Pets B．The Most Popular Business C．Exploring the World 、 主题01 人与自我——购物 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·湖南娄底·期中） When you buy a product, do you check where it is made? You might be surprised to find that many “foreign” products are actually made in China. Take toys as an example. Most toys sold in Europe and America are made in China. There are several reasons for this. First, China has many factories that can produce toys in large numbers. Second, the materials used to make toys, like plastic and cotton, are easy to get in China. Third, Chinese workers are skillful and hard-working. Another example is electronic products. Many famous brands’ phones and computers are assembled (组装) in China. The parts come from different countries, but the final product is put together in Chinese factories. This is because China has advanced (先进的) manufacturing (制造) technology. However, things are changing. More and more Chinese products are becoming famous around the world. For example, Huawei phones are sold in over 170 countries. Gree air conditioners are popular in Europe. These products are not only made in China but also designed in China. “Made in China” is no longer just about cheap products. It now stands for quality and innovation (创新). As one businessman said, “China is not just a factory for the world, but also a creator.” 1．What do most toys sold in Europe and America have in common? A．They are expensive. B．They are made in China. C．They are made of plastic. 2．Why are many electronic products assembled in China? A．Because China has advanced manufacturing technology. B．Because China has cheap workers. C．Because China has many raw materials. 3．What does “Made in China” stand for now? A．Cheapness and low quality. B．Quality and innovation. C．Raw materials and factories. 4．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Chinese toys are popular all over the world. B．Many foreign products are made in China. C．“Made in China” has changed its meaning. Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·湖南怀化·期中）When October comes, people in China start to see ads for the Double Eleven Shopping Festival, also called Singles’ Day. This event began in 2009 and is now the biggest online shopping day in China. The 2025 festival will be its 17th year, showing its long-lasting influence. It used to be a 24-hour online sale on November 11th. Now, it has become a much longer event, often starting in early October. This year, JD．com began its activities on October 9th, and Douyin made its shopping period last for 57 days. The longer festival shows how shopping habits are changing. Today’s shoppers are often calmer and more rational. Many find it annoying to wait for presales or to work out complex discounts (复杂的折扣). So, shopping platforms are using simpler methods like “direct discounts” and “instant price cuts” to make shopping easier. For bigger sellers, the longer season makes it easier to manage stock and reduces work pressure. But some smaller shops find it hard because getting new customers costs more and there is strong competition to be seen. The longer festival also shows how competitive e-commerce platforms are. With different platforms like Douyin, Pinduoduo, and Xiaohongshu, making the shopping season longer helps keep customers interested. It also helps spread out delivery pressure, avoiding the warehouse (仓库) problems and late deliveries that happened in the past. Even though the longer Double Eleven might make the single-day sale feel less urgent, it is still an important test for the online shopping system. It also shows new technologies like AI-assisted shopping and instant retail (零售). After 17 years, Double Eleven is not just about shopping; it is also a sign of China’s consumption trends and the health of its digital economy. 1．What can we learn about the Double Eleven Shopping Festival from Paragraph 1? A．JD．com always starts its activities on October 9th. B．It has developed into a long-lasting sales event. C．It was first held to celebrate Singles’ Day. 2．Why do e-commerce platforms use simpler discount methods? A．To lower their operating costs. B．To attract more big sellers. C．To suit shoppers’ more rational needs. 3．What is a benefit of the longer Double Eleven for larger sellers? A．Cheaper costs to get new customers. B．Fewer competitors on sales. C．Easier stock management. 4．What is the best title of the text? A．The History of Double Eleven B．The Development of China’s Double Eleven C．The Platforms of the Shopping Festival Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·湖南长沙·期中）Have you ever bought a blind box and opened it with excitement? It is reported that blind boxes are getting more and more popular in the big cities in China. Blind boxes, or “manghe” in Chinese, are always a collection of figurines (人形的小雕像) sold in the same boxes. The figurines are specially designed based on characters from the cartoons or superheroes in the movies. Each is put randomly (随机地) in a sealed (密封的) box so that the buyers, who do not know what is inside, will have a feeling of surprise and expectation and be willing to buy one after another to get a full set. “Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.” This is a famous line in an American movie, Forrest Gump (1994). It seems to be the idea of opening the blind boxes, but in fact, they first appeared in Japan and they were invented after the “lucky bags”. The bags were little ones filled with toys or clothes out of fashion. People could get the bag at much lower price than the total price of the things in it. But you couldn’t know what you were buying either. “Now the blind boxes have taken the young market by storm and you can see blind box stores almost everywhere downtown,” said Victor, a blind box designer. “Office ladies and college students in the cities are buying most of the boxes. Females pay for 62.6 percent of them. They like to buy cute things to decorate (装饰) their desks and opening the boxes is a great way to free themselves from stress.” “The blind boxes can blind people.” Prof. Lee from a university is studying the new fashion. “The lovers often spend too much collecting all the figurines of a certain set and some of them are crazy about the secret design (隐藏款) and make it far more expensive. It’s really a waste of money and people may get more stressed.” 1．What is a blind box? A．A box with a figurine in it. B．A box designed for the blind. C．A box filled with toys or clothes 2．Where is the blind box from? A．China. B．The US. C．Japan. 3．What does the underlined part “take...by storm” mean in Paragraph 5? A．刮风 B．摧毁 C．席卷 4．According to the passage, which of the following would Prof. Lee agree with? A．Young people need to know more about the blind boxes. B．Blind box lovers shouldn’t spend too much on “lucky bags”. C．People can’t always free themselves from stress by opening blind boxes. 主题02 人与社会——文化 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·湖南永州·期中）Learn about the history of China’s ceramics (瓷器) Proto-porcelain 原始瓷 Mature porcelain 成熟瓷 Celadons from the Yue kilns in Zhejiang 浙江越窑青瓷 The “five kilns” 五大名窑 Qinghua wares 青花瓷 Multicolored porcelain 彩瓷 Shang (c. 16thcentury-11thcentury BC) and Zhou (c. 11th century-256 BC) dynasties Late Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220) Tang Dynasty (618-907) Song Dynasty (960-1279) Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368) Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties It was used to make many everyday things.

He has found some information about Chinese culture. The abacus (算盘) The abacus was perhaps the earliest type of computer. People started using it to do math. It was used in ancient China, Rome, Egypt and Greece. Today some people are still using it. TCM Today when people in the West need medical help, they often choose a “new” kind of medicine that is actually quite old. They choose traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). TCM uses many different kinds of treatments. Herbal (药草的) medicines are used, for example, to help bring balance to people. Many of the treatments used in TCM have helped people for thousands of years. Kung fu “Kung fu” is the popular name given to Chinese martial arts in the West. It refers to a number of different types of fighting that have developed more than hundreds of years in China. These different styles are often called “schools”.

It not only lives through lightning strikes (击中) but actually grows better because of them For years, scientists thought lightning was only bad for trees. But as they explored places like the Amazon rainforest, they started to think there could be trees that fight against lightning. It wasn’t until about 100 years ago that such “super trees” were discovered. Now, they know of a tree that uses lightning’s power to kill nearby trees and get more sunlight and nutrients (营养) for itself. In 2015, scientist Evan Gora saw a Dipterix oleifera tree, which had been struck by strong lightning. It wasn’t badly harmed while the neighboring trees were killed. Scientists thought this tree could handle lightning, but there was no way to be sure. Gora and his team saw more of these trees that grew well after lightning strikes. So, they did a study. They followed 93 trees struck by lightning for 2-6 years. They found that all 9 Dipterix oleifera trees in the study survived with little harm. But 84 other trees were badly hurt, and 64% of them died within two years. These Dipterix oleifera trees are very tall and have wide tops, making them 68% more likely to be struck by lightning than other trees. During the study, one of the Dipterix trees was struck twice in 5 years yet continued to grow well. At present, more studies suggest that these trees draw lightning on purpose to destroy other trees and grow better. Scientists are not sure how these trees survive lightning, but they guess it may involve the trees’ ability to carry electricity. They are also interested in other trees with similar characteristics. 1．What is special about the Dipterix oleifera tree? A．It grows better after being struck by lightning. B．It takes in nutrients directly from lightning. C．It avoids lightning by hiding under other trees. 2．What does the underlined word “handle” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．deal with. B．Give out. C．Mix up. 3．Why do Dipterix oleifera trees draw lightning? A．To protect other trees around them. B．To kill nearby trees for growth. C．To become shorter and stronger. 4．What might scientists do next according to the text? A．Plant more Dipterx oleifera trees. B．Study how trees draw lightning better. C．Look for more trees that can survive lightning. Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·湖南娄底·期中）Some animals can easily find their way home after a long journey. How do they make it? Scientific research shows that they are born with certain unusual abilities for direction. A certain kind of ants, for example, can count their steps to avoid (避免) getting lost. They can go as far as 110 meters and bring food home. These ants live in the open desert, so they have nothing to guide them along the way. It’s like someone walking six kilometers through a dark forest. Some fish have an unbelievable sense of smell. They can smell even a single drop of their home water in a large sea area. Some sea birds have a similar ability. They are able to make a smell map of their flying area. Some animals can sense the earth’s magnetic field (磁场), while humans can’t. This magnetic field guides a certain kind of fish when they swim a long way to a place and then back. How can this kind of fish do that? It is still a mystery. Scientists have no good answers yet. However, animals with such unusual abilities still have difficulty dealing with environmental changes caused by human activities. For example, many birds depend on stars for direction, but they get lost easily at night when city lights are kept on all night. To solve this problem, we can simply turn off some lights at night. Clearly, one small act of humans may mean a lot to animals. 1．How can a certain kind of ants find their way? A．By imagining the way. B．By counting their steps. C．By walking through a forest. 2．What does the underlined word “mystery” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Secret. B．Choice. C．Reason. 3．What are people advised to do according to the last paragraph? A．To help animals. B．To keep city lights on. C．To develop unusual abilities. 4．Which can be the best title for the passage? A．Birds’ Sense of Light B．Fish’s Sense of Smell C．Animals’ Sense of Direction Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·湖南株洲·期中） Chopsticks were invented at least 3,000 years ago. Emperor Xin, also called King Zhou, the last king of the Shang Dynasty, already used ivory chopsticks. Common people used chopsticks made of bamboo or wood. Later, there were also metal (金属) chopsticks. More than 2,000 years ago, Mozi made the first kite. It was a wooden bird. Kites were first used as a sign to ask for help in the fight. Flying kites became people’s favorite outdoor activity in the Song Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, Bi Sheng invented the moveable type. First, Bi made clay Chinese characters. Then he fired them at a high temperature. When Bi needed to print books, he arranged (排列) the clay characters in a metal holder and then brushed them with ink (墨水). 1．What were the chopsticks used by common people made of in the Shang Dynasty? A．Bamboo or ivory. B．Bamboo or wood. C．Wood or metal. 2．What were used as a sign to ask for help in the fight? A．Chopsticks. B．Seismograph. C．Kites. 3．Which is the second step of the moveable type? A．Firing the clay pieces at a high heat B．Brushing the clay characters with ink C．Making clay Chinese characters Passage 3 （24-25九年级上·湖南株洲·期中） City walking is different from going shopping.
