As I entered through the glass doors, I immediately sensed that something unusual was happening near the cash register (收银台). My curiosity led me to take a closer look. There, I saw a cashier taking some items out of a customer’s shopping bag. The customer was an elderly woman who looked very sad and worried. It turned out that the cashier was removing items to lower the total cost. This touched my heart, and I felt a strong urge to help. I quickly walked over to the cash register. Without saying a word, I pointed to the items the cashier was about to set aside. Then I pointed to my own shopping bag to show that I would pay for them. The cashier nodded and put the items back into the elderly woman’s bag. The cashier then tried to help the woman with her card again, but it still didn’t work. Seeing the total amount on the screen, I quietly took out some cash from my wallet and handed it to the cashier. I wanted to help without drawing attention to myself, so I quickly walked away after paying. The elderly woman was too worried about her card to notice me. When the cashier told her that she didn’t have to pay anything, she looked confused. As I left the supermarket, I felt a warm sense of pride. I hoped that my small act of kindness brought some comfort and happiness to the elderly woman, reminding her that there are still people who care. 1．Why did the cashier take some items out of the elderly woman’s bag? A．Because the elderly woman didn’t want them. B．Because the items were broken. C．Because the cashier wanted to sell them to the writer. D．Because the cashier wanted to reduce the woman’s bill. 2．How did the writer communicate with the cashier to help the elderly woman? A．By showing facial expressions. B．By using hand gestures. C．By making eye contact. D．By speaking aloud. 3．What does the underlined word “urge” mean in the third paragraph? A．A strong feeling that makes you want to do something. B．A plan to do something. C．A promise to help someone. D．A problem that is hard to solve. 4．We can infer from the passage that the writer is ______. A．Brave and confident. B．Kind and modest. C．Shy and nervous. D．Careless and impatient. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 4．B 【解析】本文讲述了作者在超市购物时，发现一位老人支付困难，便默默替其付款并悄然离开的故事，展现了作者的善意与谦逊。 1．第三段“It turned out that the cashier was removing items to lower the total cost.”，明确说明收银员拿出商品是为了降低总费用。 2．第四段“Without saying a word, I pointed to the items... Then I pointed to my own shopping bag...”，说明作者通过手势（指东西、指自己的购物袋）与收银员沟通。 3．第三段“I felt a strong urge to help.”，结合上下文，作者看到老妇人的处境后产生了一种强烈的想要帮助她的冲动。urge意为“强烈的欲望或冲动”。 4．第五段“I wanted to help without drawing attention to myself, so I quickly walked away after paying.”及作者帮助老人的行为可知，作者乐于助人且不想引人注意，体现了善良和谦逊的品质。 Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·山东德州·期中）The sun hung low, brushing gold over the empty area. The air buzzed (喧闹)—not with insects, but with voices, cameras, and the weight of something about to begin. Roy’s heart beat like a drum. He looked out at the people gathering for the pancake house ground-breaking ceremony (仪式). Behind him stood the company men and the reporters. And under his feet—hidden underground—were the tiny burrows (洞穴) of the owls. No sign marked them. No fence protected them. They asked nothing, made no sound, yet now heavy machines waited, ready to destroy (破坏) their living area. He thought of Mullet Fingers, the wild boy who cared about animals more than himself. He thought of brave Beatrice who helped even when it was hard. Roy had tried to stay out of trouble. He liked quiet. But now, staying quiet didn’t feel right. He stepped up to the microphone (话筒). “Excuse me,” he said, voice shaking. “Before you dig... you should know the truth.” The crowd grew quiet. “There are owls living here,” Roy said. “They’re small. They’re scared. And if you build here, you’ll destroy their homes.” Someone in the crowd laughed. A reporter asked, “How do you know that?” “Because I saw them. I stood right there and watched them. They live here. They belong here. And they matter.” The manager stepped forward, “This is not your business, kid.” Roy turned to face him. His fear turned into something else—strength. “It’s my business. It’s everyone’s business. We can’t just destroy what we don’t see. Progress should not come at the cost of wonder,” he said. His hands stopped shaking. People in the crowd began whispering. One mother held her child’s hand. A teacher nodded. Even the manager looked uncertain. Roy didn’t know what would happen next. But he did what he could. He spoke the truth. Roy used to be scared. But doing the right thing made him stronger. Sometimes, doing what you can is enough to shift(改变)the wind. 5．Who did Roy think of before stepping up to the microphone? A．His teacher. B．Mullet Fingers and Beatrice. C．The manager. D．The newspaper reporters. 6．How did Roy feel when he first stepped up to the microphone? A．Calm. B．Excited. C．Scared. D．Angry. 7．Why was Roy speaking to the crowd at the ceremony? A．To protect the owls’ living area. B．To raise money for wildlife. C．To advertise the pancake house. D．To welcome people from other towns. 8．What does the underlined sentence in the passage mean? A．Extra cost should be paid to protect nature. B．There’s nothing more important than progress. C．Nature shouldn’t be destroyed for development. D．People should cut the cost of creating wonders. 9．What can we learn from Roy’s story in the passage? A．Silence sometimes speaks louder than actions. B．Finding out the truth needs patience and wisdom. C．Knowing yourself helps you make the right choice. D．Standing up for nature takes courage but it’s worth it. 【答案】5．B 6．C 7．A 8．C 9．D 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了主人公Roy在面对即将被机器破坏的自然环境时，回想起Mullet Fingers和Beatrice的勇敢事迹，从而克服内心的恐惧，站出来为保护猫头鹰的栖息地发声的故事，体现了勇气的力量。 5．根据文章“He thought of Mullet Fingers, the wild boy who cared about animals more than himself. He thought of brave Beatrice who helped even when it was hard.”可知，Roy在走向话筒前想到了Mullet Fingers和Beatrice。 6．根据文章“‘Excuse me,’ he said, voice shaking.”以及后文提到的“His fear turned into something else—strength”和“Roy used to be scared”可知，Roy刚开始说话时声音颤抖，内心是恐惧害怕的。 7．根据文章“‘There are owls living here,’ Roy said. ‘...And if you build here, you’ll destroy their homes.’”可知，Roy站出来对人群讲话是为了告诉人们这里有猫头鹰居住，如果建设会破坏它们的家，即为了保护猫头鹰的生存区域。 8．划线句子“Progress should not come at the cost of wonder”意为“进步不应该以牺牲奇迹为代价”。结合上下文，Roy反对为了建设而破坏猫头鹰的家园。 9．通读全文，Roy虽然害怕，但他认为保持沉默是不对的，最终他鼓起勇气说出了真相，并且这一行为让他变得更强。这告诉我们，为自然挺身而出需要勇气，但这不仅是正确的也是值得的。 主题02 人与社会——传统与语言文化 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·山东烟台·期中）The carpenter (木工) from Shandong is known as “Grandpa Amu” on the Internet.

He has been learning traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) since 2016. Now he is studying for his master’s degree at Henan University of Chinese Medicine. As he thought some diseases can’t be treated thoroughly with Western medicine, he decided to research into TCM. Hans came to Central China’s Henan Province in 2015, where a rich TCM culture can be enjoyed because Henan Province is the hometown of Zhang Zhongjing, the medical master of ancient China. After one year of learning the Chinese language, he started to learn Chinese medicine. Hans thought TCM is one of the most well-kept parts of Chinese culture. He hopes to solve problems and understand Chinese culture deeply by learning TCM. Without a language barrier (障碍), Hans read some of the ancient Chinese medical classics, such as Huangdi Neijing and Yi Jing. He believes different parts of traditional Chinese culture connect with and affect each other. Studying TCM also changed Hans’s mind and lifestyle. He used to be addicted to (沉迷于) electronic devices and stay up late every night, trapped in this fast-paced but unhealthy daily routine. But now, according to the Yin-Yang theory in TCM, he lives a balanced and peaceful life, practicing good habits such as drinking tea and meditating (冥想), as well as reading ancient books. Hans also uses what he has learned to help his family. Previously, acupuncture (针灸) tools and Chinese medicine were necessities when he went back to his home in Germany. With acupuncture and Chinese-style massages (按摩), many different physical disorders of his family have been well-treated. Now, he always provides his family members with some advice about staying fit after he checks their skin or tongues online. Over time, his family gradually began to understand his passion for TCM. He plans to run a traditional Chinese clinic in China or Germany after graduation, which could serve as a bridge between the two countries and publicize (推广) TCM and its culture. 14．What attracted Hans to Henan Province to study TCM? A．Its rich TCM culture. B．Its unusual language. C．Its beautiful scenery. D．Its famous university. 15．What makes it possible for Hans to read ancient Chinese medical classics? A．His family’s support. B．His money situation. C．His language learning. D．His professional training. 16．How has studying TCM affected Hans? A．He has made a lot of money. B．He has known many medical experts. C．He has developed a healthy lifestyle. D．He has set up a clinic in Germany. 17．Why did Hans take acupuncture tools and Chinese medicine back to Germany? A．To open a small clinic there. B．To treat his family’s health problems. C．To introduce them to his friends. D．To continue his own medical practice. 【答案】14．A 15．C 16．C 17．B 【解析】本文是人物记叙文，讲述德国青年Hans热爱中国文化，来到河南学习中医的经历，介绍他学习中医的缘由、克服语言障碍研读古籍、中医改变他的生活方式、用所学帮助家人以及毕业后想开诊所推广中医的规划。 14．原文第二段“Hans came to Central China’s Henan Province in 2015, where a rich TCM culture can be enjoyed because Henan Province is the hometown of Zhang Zhongjing, the medical master of ancient China.” 丰富的中医药文化吸引他来到河南学习中医。 15．原文第二段“After one year of learning the Chinese language, he started to learn Chinese medicine.”，第三段“Without a language barrier, Hans read some of the ancient Chinese medical classics”，一年汉语学习消除了语言障碍，让他能读懂中医古籍。 16．原文第四段“Studying TCM also changed Hans’s mind and lifestyle...he lives a balanced and peaceful life, practicing good habits such as drinking tea and meditating, as well as reading ancient books.”学习中医改变了他的生活，养成健康作息。 17．原文第五段“Previously, acupuncture tools and Chinese medicine were necessities when he went back to his home in Germany. With acupuncture and Chinese-style massages, many different physical disorders of his family have been well-treated.”他带回针灸器具和中药是为了给家人治疗身体不适。 主题03 人与社会——著名人物 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·山东烟台·期中）The greatest scientists were famous not only for their discoveries, but also for their interesting lives. Having a special, uncommon mind often goes hand in hand with unusual acts. Nikola Tesla is known for many inventions. One is the alternating current (AC) electricity. While inventing it, Tesla was good at keeping things in mind, because he used picture thinking and imagined every step in his mind before even picking up a pencil. Tesla said he wanted to do it because of his mother, who invented small electrical machines when he was a child. In his later years, Tesla had many strange habits. He slept only two hours every night and dined at exactly 8:10 p. m. After dinner, he’d often work until 3 a. m. Before bed, Tesla curled (卷曲) each foot 100 times, saying it was good for his brain. Another scientist encouraged by his mother was Albert Einstein, though what he got from his mother was a love of music. In fact, Einstein often played music on the piano and the violin to help him brainstorm. Einstein’s achievements include the most famous equation (方程式) E=mc2 and his theory of relativity. However, thanks to his wild hair, he was also well-known for the looks of a "mad scientist" and you can tell that he had some interesting quirks (个性). For example, he had a strong dislike of wearing socks. And Einstein was so withdrawn (内向的) as a boy that he couldn’t speak until he was three. Sometimes, the smartest of us are also the strangest. That quiet child in the corner may be the next Tesla or Einstein one day. 18．How did Tesla remember things? A．By drawing mind-maps. B．By reading aloud. C．By taking things down. D．By thinking in pictures. 19．What can we learn from the passage? A．Tesla hated having to wear socks. B．Tesla did some foot exercises before bed. C．Einstein was outgoing when he was a child. D．Einstein was also famous for his hair color. 20．What did Tesla and Einstein have in common? A．They both thought and acted in unusual ways. B．They both had great inventions of the electricity. C．They both played the piano well for better working. D．They both took up inventing because of their mothers. 21．What does the writer mainly want to tell us about? A．The inventions of great people in the world. B．The living habits of smart people around us C．The two great mothers of Tesla and Einstein. D．The special things about well-known scientists. 【答案】18．D 19．B 20．A 21．D 【解析】本文是人物记叙文，主要介绍尼古拉・特斯拉与阿尔伯特・爱因斯坦两位伟大科学家，讲述二人除重大科学发现外，各自独特、与众不同的思维方式、生活习惯与性格趣事，点明拥有独特思维的人往往伴随特别的行为。 18．根据文章第二段中“Tesla was good at keeping things in mind, because he used picture thinking...”可知，Tesla擅长记忆是因为他使用图像思维（picture thinking），即在脑海中想象每一步。 19．根据第三段“Before bed, Tesla curled each foot 100 times”可知，Tesla 睡前会做足部运动，故B项正确。 20．文章第一段提到“Having a special, uncommon mind often goes hand in hand with unusual acts”，随后分别列举了Tesla和Einstein生活中不同寻常的习惯和个性（如 Tesla的足部运动、Einstein不穿袜子等），说明他们思考和行动方式都很独特。 21．文章开篇指出科学家不仅因发现闻名，还因有趣的生活闻名，结尾总结最聪明的人也可能最奇怪。全文主要围绕Tesla和Einstein这两位著名科学家生活中特殊、有趣的一面展开，而非单纯介绍发明或母亲。 Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·山东德州·期中） It is 2025 now. Yang Chen-Ning, one of the greatest physicists (物理学家) of the 20th century, passed away recently. He lived a remarkable life, full of achievements and contributions to both science and China. Yang was born in 1922 in HeFei, China. He grew up during a difficult time in Chinese history, but his talent for learning was clear from a young age. He first studied at Tsinghua University in Beijing and later went to America for further education. There, he earned his PhD from the University of Chicago in 1948. In 1957, while still in his thirties, Yang made history. Together with another Chinese scientist, Tsung-Dao Lee, he won the Nobel Prize in Physics. Their discovery changed how scientists understand the basic laws of the universe. This made them the first Chinese Nobel laureates (获奖者). Yang spent many years teaching and doing research in the United States. He became a famous professor at the State University of New York and made further important contributions to physics. Yet, he never forgot his Chinese roots. He often talked about his childhood in Hefei, his teachers at Tsinghua, and how he hoped to do something for his motherland. In his later years, Yang returned to Tsinghua University in Beijing. He devoted his energy to helping China develop its scientific research and education systems. Throughout his life, Yang received many honors. His long journey—from a student in China to a world-leading physicist—continues to inspire young people to learn, explore, and serve their country. 22．How old was Yang Chen-Ning when he passed away? A．95 years old. B．98 years old. C．103 years old. D．105 years old. 23．In which country did Yang Chen-Ning get his PhD? A．China. B．The US. C．The UK. D．Japan. 24．Why was 1957 an important year for Yang Chen-Ning? A．He got his PhD that year. B．He returned to China. C．He became a professor. D．He won the Nobel Prize. 25．What does “Chinese roots” mean in Paragraph 4? A．His family in China. B．His connection to China. C．His old school in China. D．His childhood home in Hefei. 26．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．Yang’s life and-influence. B．Yang’s many honors. C．Yang’s education experience. D．Yang’s great discoveries. 【答案】22．C 23．B 24．D 25．B 26．A 【解析】本文是一篇人物记叙文，主要介绍物理学家杨振宁的生平经历、成就以及他带来的影响。 22．根据第一段“It is 2025 now. Yang Chen-Ning...passed away recently.”以及第二段“Yang was born in 1922 in Hefei, China.”，2025减去1922等于103，可知他去世时103岁。 23．根据第二段“and later went to America for further education. There, he earned his PhD from the University of Chicago in 1948.”，America就是The US，可知他在美国取得博士学位。 24．根据第三段“In 1957, while still in his thirties, Yang made history. Together with another Chinese scientist, Tsung-Dao Lee, he won the Nobel Prize in Physics.”，可知1957年重要是因为他获得诺贝尔物理学奖。 25．根据第四段“He often talked about his childhood in Hefei, his teachers at Tsinghua, and how he hoped to do something for his motherland.”，他总牵挂祖国、想为祖国出力，能推断“Chinese roots”指他与中国的联系。 26．全文依次介绍杨振宁的出生、求学、诺奖成就、海外工作、归国奉献以及一生带来的激励作用，整体讲述他的人生和影响力。 主题01 人与自我——个人经历 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·山东济宁·期中）Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve loved reading crime and detective (侦探) novels, so I guess it was pretty normal that I started writing them when I was older. However, my family is very big on having a traditional job and so when I said that I wanted to go to college and study writing, my parents told me that I couldn’t. They told me that I had to study for a degree (学位) to get a job that is not as risky as writing. I could study journalism (新闻专业), but I didn’t want to lose interest in writing because it would be everyday work, not for fun. I thought that teaching was a pretty good compromise (妥协), especially because of the long holidays. By the time I was twenty-five, I’d already finished two novels and had an agent. To be honest, I never wanted to hide that I was a crime writer. My friends have always known. One reason most people don’t know is that my agent told me that my name “Hazel” sounded like a romance (浪漫) writer for older women. She suggested “Brooke Lane” as my pen name and I agreed. I nearly forgot about it until I walked into school one day and saw one of my workmates reading my novel. I asked her some questions about it, and she didn’t know that I wrote it; she even offered to lend it to me after she finished! Of course, sometimes I wonder what my students will think if they know that their teacher writes about murders and dead bodies at home on weekends. But I think my parents probably helped me: my teaching job keeps me in touch with the real world. 27．The underlined phrase “is very big on” in the passage probably means ________. A．is very interested in B．doesn’t care much about C．knows nothing about D．is not happy with 28．Why did Hazel choose to be a teacher? A．She was interested in teaching students. B．It was a compromise with her parents. C．Her agent advised her to take the job. D．She couldn’t find a job as a writer. 29．How did the writer feel when her workmate read her novel? A．Angry. B．Surprised. C．Sad. D．Bored. 30．What does Hazel want to tell us through her experience? A．It’s dangerous to be a crime writer. B．We should follow our parents’ advice. C．We can find a balance between dreams and real world. D．Teaching is the best job for writers. 【答案】27．A 28．B 29．B 30．C 【解析】本文主要讲述作者为了满足家人对传统稳定工作的期望而选择教书，同时坚持写作并使用笔名，认为教学让她保持了与现实的连接。 27．划线词所在的句子提到“However, my family is very big on having a traditional job and so when I said that I wanted to go to college and study writing, my parents told me that I couldn’t”，说明家人非常看重传统工作，反对她从事写作，因此is very big on意为“非常重视”或“非常喜欢”。 28．第一段提到“I thought that teaching was a pretty good compromise”，说明作者父母反对她专职写作，她选择教书是和父母的妥协。 29．第二段提到“I nearly forgot about it until I walked into school one day and saw one of my workmates reading my novel…she didn’t know that I wrote it”，说明作者没想到同事在读她写的小说且不知道作者是她，这种巧合的情景通常让人感到惊讶（Surprised），而非生气、悲伤或无聊。 30．通读全文可知，作者既坚持了写作梦想，又接受了教师这份现实工作，并认为这让她接触现实世界，是一种成功的平衡，因此文章想告诉我们要在梦想与现实之间找到平衡。 Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·山东聊城·期中）On August 16, 2025, Pang Zhongwang, a doctoral student from Tsinghua University, won the “Touching China 2024” Award. His story, from a young man who fights against heavy hardships (困难) to an encouraging character, has warmed many hearts.    Born with great challenges, Pang lived a hard life when he was a child. His father had a serious mental illness. His mother’s legs were cut off, so she could hardly move. Pang himself had a heart problem since he was born. He went door-to-door borrowing money for his mother’s illness. He also picked up waste things to make money and help pay off his family’s debts (债务). However, he never lost hope. He always believed “Knowledge can change life”.     In 2017, Pang entered Tsinghua University with a very high score in the college entrance exam. At first, he was worried that he might let others down. But later, he found his interest in scientific research. He kept trying even when he failed many times. Although money was still the problem, he decided to depend on himself. That’s why he said no to people who raised money for him. Instead, he asked Tsinghua University for grants (补助金) and won the prizes for good grades. His mother named him “Zhongwang”, which means “the hope of everyone”. She always told him to look forward to the future. Pang once said, “Mom smiles every day—why should I feel sad?” Sadly, his mother passed away in 2020. That was just before he got the chance to study for a doctor’s degree at Tsinghua University. Now, Pang has written many important science papers and got patents (专利) for his inventions. His dream is to “serve the country through scientific research” and he works hard for this goal. His story lights the way for many people. As the award speech says, “You leave your hard times behind. You face life with a smile and move forward strongly.” Pang’s journey shows us that if we are strong and keep hope, we can live up to expectations and create our own bright future. 31．How did Pang Zhongwang make money as a child? A．By working in the factory. B．By selling newspapers. C．By picking up waste things. D．By washing cars for others. 32．Why did Pang Zhongwang refuse the money from other people after he entered university? A．Because he was afraid of being laughed at. B．Because he decided to depend on himself. C．Because he had enough money to support himself. D．Because he was afraid of letting people down. 33．Which of the following statements is TRUE? A．Pang Zhongwang was born into a rich family. B．Everything went well for Pang Zhongwang in the university. C．Pang Zhongwang’s mother made a good difference to his life. D．Pang Zhongwang got the “Touching China” award in 2024. 34．Which words can best describe Pang Zhongwang? A．Clever and honest. B．Polite and patient. C．Careful and serious. D．Hard-working and strong-willed. 35．What can we learn from Pang Zhongwang’s story? A．It’s necessary to make a plan before doing things. B．We should think about things in an active way.

When I was nine, I started studying English at school, and I loved it. I learned a lot about English words and grammar at school, and when I turned sixteen, I attended a program in Canada. I lived with a Canadian family for a whole year, and it was one of the best times of my life. Since it is also an official language in Canada, I started studying French during my stay. I studied hard, and it paid off. French is a beautiful language. After I returned to Brazil, I started studying Spanish. I think it is important for Brazilians to learn this language because, here in South America, most countries’ official language is Spanish. I loved learning this language, and thanks to that, I now have friends from Uruguay, Peru, and Argentina. Keeping in touch with these friends is a great way to practice the language. I am also learning Chinese and German. These languages are a bit more difficult for me, but being able to say even a few expressions of these languages is rewarding. Some people ask me why I spend so much time learning foreign languages. I always say there are many benefits. For instance, learning a foreign language improves your memory, introduces you to all kinds of information, helps you to communicate with people from different places and cultures and to make wonderful friends, provides you with insight into another way of thinking, makes you a more interesting person, and improves your chances of finding a good job. So, if you haven’t started studying a foreign language yet, my advice is: don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today! 44．When did the writer start studying French? A．When he was eight. B．When he was nine. C．At the age of sixteen. 45．The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refers to “________”. A．learning Spanish B．going to a program in Canada C．visiting South American countries 46．What does the underlined word “benefits” in Paragraph 4 mean in Chinese? A．好处 B．要求 C．条件 47．How many foreign languages has the writer learned? A．Four. B．Five. C．Six. 48．The writer wrote the passage to ________. A．provide advice on learning languages B．tell his life stories in several countries C．encourage people to learn foreign languages 【答案】44．C 45．A 46．A 47．B 48．C 【解析】本文作者分享了自己学习多门外语（英语、法语、西班牙语、汉语、德语）的经历，列举了学习外语的诸多好处，并在文末鼓励人们尽早开始学习外语。 44．根据第一段中“when I turned sixteen, I attended a program in Canada... I started studying French during my stay”可知，作者在 16 岁时开始在加拿大学习法语。 45．根据第二段“I started studying Spanish... I loved learning this language, and thanks to that...”可知，作者回到巴西后开始学习西班牙语，因为喜欢学习这门语言，多亏了“学习西班牙语”这件事，他才结交了朋友。因此“that”指代的是“learning Spanish”。 46．根据第四段“benefits”后列举的内容（提高记忆力、了解信息、帮助交流、结交朋友、提供不同思维视角、使人更有趣、提高就业机会）均为学习外语带来的积极影响，因此“benefits”意为“好处”。 47．通读全文，作者提到学习的外语包括：English（英语）、French（法语）、Spanish（西班牙语）、Chinese（汉语）和 German（德语），共计五种。 48．作者通过分享自己学习多门外语的经历和收获，并在最后一段提出建议“don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today”，旨在鼓励人们学习外语。 Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·山东滨州·期中）William used to be a kid who never dared to express his true thoughts. He always agreed with everything his friends said. One day, he and his friends were discussing whether middle school students should bring their phones to school. His friends all thought they should, but William didn’t agree. However, because he didn’t dare to speak out his mind, he chose to agree with them. But he knew that always going against his own will to agree with others made him feel very uncomfortable. So he took up the courage to tell his mom about this. “I just can’t tell people what I really think or want. It’s too difficult for me.” said William. “You can’t or you don’t want to?” Mom asked patiently. “You are right. I guess I don’t want to. I’m afraid to be different,” answered William. His mom smiled and handed him a famous book, the Analects of Confucius (论语). William knew the book but he didn’t know what his mom meant. However, he started reading the book every night before bed. One day, he read the phrase, “Gentlemen have peace but disagree, flunkies (小人) agree but have no peace.” He didn’t understand it, so he asked his mom.“It means gentlemen achieve harmony (和谐), but they don’t just blindly agree with others. They have their own ideas, and they can tell the truth bravely. Flunkies agree easily, but they don’t really work together,” his mom explained. Suddenly, William was inspired and realized that having different ideas was not a bad thing at all. He was very thankful for the book. He decided to be brave enough to express his own thoughts. He did as he said. From then on, he was no longer afraid to speak out his mind. To his surprise, he found that the friendship had become even stronger! 49．Why did William always choose to agree with others? A．Because he was afraid of arguing with others. B．Because he didn’t dare to speak out his mind. C．Because he didn’t want to be judged by others.

C．Expressing true thoughts is necessary. D．A friend in need is a friend indeed. 【答案】49．B 50．A 51．D 52．A 53．C 【解析】本文讲述了William从不敢表达到受《论语》启发勇敢表达自己并获得更深厚友谊的故事。 49．文章第二段提到“because he didn’t dare to speak out his mind, he chose to agree with them”，说明他总是同意别人是因为不敢说出自己的想法。 50．妈妈在William倾诉时耐心引导（“Mom asked patiently”），并引用《论语》为他解释道理，既耐心又有智慧。 51．文中划线句子“Gentlemen have peace but disagree, flunkies agree but have no peace.”对应的正是《论语》中的“君子和而不同，小人同而不和”。 52．文章最后提到William决定勇敢表达后“found that the friendship had become even stronger”，说明朋友不会减少，反而更坚固，因此“朋友变少”不会发生。 53．整个故事围绕William从不敢表达到勇敢说出真实想法，最后友谊更强，核心启示是表达真实想法是必要的。 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·山东滨州·期中）From September to February each year, Dazhong Mountain in Chuxiong, in Yunnan is home to more than 50,000,000 migratory birds (候鸟). People used to call the mountain Daqueshan, which means bird-hunting mountain. The villagers used to hunt birds on the mountain. Then one year, they couldn’t hear birds singing. People started to worry if migratory birds would return again. In 1984, Hongtupo Forest Police Station was set up. The local people also called it the migratory police station. The officers went to the mountains in September and went back to the police station in the following February. They spent six months working on the mountain, trying to find migratory birds and stop people from hunting them. ________ They had to carry their bags on back and live in the tents without rushing water and electricity. They had to patrol (巡逻) in the mountain day and night. They might lose their way or meet dangerous animals. The officers also tried to tell people the importance of protecting birds and other wild animals. They visited the villagers door to door and helped them with farm work. They led the villagers to plant many trees. They even organized activities in schools to get their messages across to children. Now, even children know that birds are to be loved. The mountain is greener, the water is clearer, and more and more animals come to live here. It has become a bird-protecting mountain. Many people have opened bed-and-breakfasts for birdwatchers. “The village has changed a lot, and we don’t hunt birds anymore,” people say.

They had to patrol...day and night. They might lose their way or meet dangerous animals.”，这些描述都说明工作艰苦，因此空白处应填总结性句子“This job was really difficult.”。 56．原文第三段提到“stop people from hunting them”（②）、“organized activities in schools”（③）、“visited the villagers door to door and help them with farm work”（④），而“opened bed-and-breakfasts”是村民后来做的，不是警察，因此排除①。 57．全文从捕鸟到护鸟，最后山更绿、水更清，村民不再捕猎，警察救助野生动物，体现了人与自然和谐共处的主题。 58．本文精神是人与自然和谐共处、克服困难保护自然，大禹治水体现治理洪水、与自然协调的精神，与之相符；其他神话（嫦娥、女娲、盘古）均不涉及此主题。 Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·山东潍坊·期中）It was a Friday afternoon, and our biology class started. We were learning about the human body. Our teacher, Mrs. Adams, was explaining the structure (结构) of the human heart when Bill raised his hand. “I have a question. The adult’s heart is much bigger than the fist (拳头), right?” Bill asked, his voice shaking a bit. “Bill, you’re wrong! The heart is as big as the fist!” someone said from the back of the class. Some students started to laugh loudly. Bill looked embarrassed and put his hand down, feeling uncomfortable. Mrs. Adams noticed this and spoke up. “Class, that is not how we should act here,” she said in a serious voice. “Bill made a mistake, and that’s perfectly OK. Many scientists achieved success because they found things unexpectedly while doing experiments. Mistakes can also lead to great discoveries. We all make mistakes, and it’s part of learning.” She turned to Bill and smiled kindly, “Bill, if an adult’s heart is much larger than his or her fist, he or she may be ill. Don’t let anyone make you feel bad for making a mistake. That’s how we improve ourselves and learn.” The class became quiet, and the students who had laughed at Bill realized they were wrong and felt sorry.

This year’s journey started in Seattle, Washington, in early May and ended in Denver, Colorado, in late July. Along the 2,800-mile route, the team stopped at 35 small-town schools in states like Oregon, Idaho, and Wyoming. Unlike the previous year’s classes, they now ran hands-on workshops (实践工作坊) : Students got to build simple solar-powered toy cars, test how different materials float or sink, and even code basic dance moves for small robots. They also held “Science Magic Shows,” where they used everyday items (like baking soda and vinegar) to create safe explosions, explaining the chemistry behind each trick. One 7th grader from a small school in Idaho, Mia, shared her excitement: “Before Spokes came, I thought science was just boring formulas in a book. But now I want to join my school’s new science club—we’re planning to make a robot for the school fair!” Teachers also noticed a big change: more students were asking questions in science class and staying after school to work on science projects. When the trip ended, the Spokes team received invitations from over 20 more schools to visit next year. “Our biggest win isn’t the miles we rode,” said Lila, one of the team members. “It’s seeing a kid’s eyes light up when they realize science isn’t just for ‘smart people’—it’s for anyone who likes to ask ‘why’ and ‘how’.” 62．What is the new change in the 2025 Spokes project compared to 2024?

There are great things about experiencing such a special childhood, but third culture kids also face many challenges. I was born in England, but when I was two years old, my dad got a new job in Poland. Since then I have lived in four other countries around the world. One of the best things about moving around a lot when I was younger was experiencing different cultures and countries. I was able to try different foods, learn different languages, experience different traditions and meet people from different backgrounds. I’m also lucky to make friends from all over the world, from Nigeria to Canada, who I keep in regular touch with. However, it wasn’t always easy. I often felt I had just settled in (定居) a new country before my parents told me we were moving again. Leaving my friends behind always made me sad, and I have lost touch with many people I was very close to. When I started university in England, English games and English education were completely lost on me! At that time, I didn’t realize how lucky I was to have such an exciting childhood.

The news spread quickly, and people in the city were scared. Emperor Wu of Han heard of it and asked Dongfang for advice. Dongfang advised him to let Yuanxiao make rice balls for the God of Fire to make him happy. He also advised everyone in the city to put up red lanterns and set off firecrackers to create an illusion (假象) that the city was on fire. Seeing this, the Jade Emperor would not set fire. On the special day, the city was full of people and lanterns. Yuanxiao’s parents were able to meet up with their daughter in the crowd. The city was safe, and Emperor Wu of Han was happy. He ordered that every year on this day, people should make rice balls and hang lanterns. From then on, the 15th day of the first lunar month has been called the Lantern Festival or YuanxiaoJie. Since Yuanxiao cooked the best rice balls, people call the food yuanxiao or tangyuan. 75．Why did Yuanxiao cry in the emperor’s garden? A．She missed her family. B．She felt hungry and tired.

C．Clever and helpful. 78．What’s the best title for the passage? A．A Big Fire on a Special Day B．A Delicious Food Called Yuanxiao C．A Story behind the Lantern Festival 【答案】75．A 76．B 77．C 78．C 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了元宵节起源的传说故事：东方朔帮助宫女元宵与家人团聚，通过散布火警消息、挂灯笼放烟花等巧妙安排，最终促成了元宵节习俗的形成。 75．第二段指出“And the maid said she was sad because she couldn’t see her family.”，说明元宵哭泣是因为她想念家人。 76．梳理文章情节：首先东方朔上街散布会有大火的消息（b），接着汉武帝询问建议，东方朔建议让元宵做汤圆并挂灯笼（c），最后元宵在人群中与父母团聚（a），正确顺序为b→c→a。 77．通读全文可知，东方朔为了帮助元宵与家人见面，想出了假装城市着火的办法，这既体现了他的聪明，也体现了他乐于助人的品质。 78．第一段引出“how this festival started”，随后全文讲述了元宵节起源的传说故事，因此“A Story behind the Lantern Festival”是最合适的标题。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题01 阅读理解（记叙文） 主题01 人与自我——精神品质（善良与勇气） Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·山东日照·期中）One evening, I went to the supermarket to buy some groceries (日用品). As I entered through the glass doors, I immediately sensed that something unusual was happening near the cash register (收银台). My curiosity led me to take a closer look. There, I saw a cashier taking some items out of a customer’s shopping bag. The customer was an elderly woman who looked very sad and worried. It turned out that the cashier was removing items to lower the total cost. This touched my heart, and I felt a strong urge to help. I quickly walked over to the cash register. Without saying a word, I pointed to the items the cashier was about to set aside. Then I pointed to my own shopping bag to show that I would pay for them. The cashier nodded and put the items back into the elderly woman’s bag. The cashier then tried to help the woman with her card again, but it still didn’t work. Seeing the total amount on the screen, I quietly took out some cash from my wallet and handed it to the cashier. I wanted to help without drawing attention to myself, so I quickly walked away after paying. The elderly woman was too worried about her card to notice me. When the cashier told her that she didn’t have to pay anything, she looked confused. As I left the supermarket, I felt a warm sense of pride.

The air buzzed (喧闹)—not with insects, but with voices, cameras, and the weight of something about to begin. Roy’s heart beat like a drum. He looked out at the people gathering for the pancake house ground-breaking ceremony (仪式). Behind him stood the company men and the reporters. And under his feet—hidden underground—were the tiny burrows (洞穴) of the owls. No sign marked them. No fence protected them.

He thought of brave Beatrice who helped even when it was hard. Roy had tried to stay out of trouble. He liked quiet. But now, staying quiet didn’t feel right.

They’re scared. And if you build here, you’ll destroy their homes.” Someone in the crowd laughed. A reporter asked, “How do you know that?” “Because I saw them. I stood right there and watched them. They live here. They belong here. And they matter.” The manager stepped forward, “This is not your business, kid.” Roy turned to face him. His fear turned into something else—strength. “It’s my business. It’s everyone’s business. We can’t just destroy what we don’t see. Progress should not come at the cost of wonder,” he said. His hands stopped shaking. People in the crowd began whispering. One mother held her child’s hand. A teacher nodded. Even the manager looked uncertain. Roy didn’t know what would happen next.

He has been learning traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) since 2016. Now he is studying for his master’s degree at Henan University of Chinese Medicine. As he thought some diseases can’t be treated thoroughly with Western medicine, he decided to research into TCM. Hans came to Central China’s Henan Province in 2015, where a rich TCM culture can be enjoyed because Henan Province is the hometown of Zhang Zhongjing, the medical master of ancient China. After one year of learning the Chinese language, he started to learn Chinese medicine. Hans thought TCM is one of the most well-kept parts of Chinese culture. He hopes to solve problems and understand Chinese culture deeply by learning TCM. Without a language barrier (障碍), Hans read some of the ancient Chinese medical classics, such as Huangdi Neijing and Yi Jing. He believes different parts of traditional Chinese culture connect with and affect each other. Studying TCM also changed Hans’s mind and lifestyle. He used to be addicted to (沉迷于) electronic devices and stay up late every night, trapped in this fast-paced but unhealthy daily routine. But now, according to the Yin-Yang theory in TCM, he lives a balanced and peaceful life, practicing good habits such as drinking tea and meditating (冥想), as well as reading ancient books. Hans also uses what he has learned to help his family. Previously, acupuncture (针灸) tools and Chinese medicine were necessities when he went back to his home in Germany. With acupuncture and Chinese-style massages (按摩), many different physical disorders of his family have been well-treated. Now, he always provides his family members with some advice about staying fit after he checks their skin or tongues online. Over time, his family gradually began to understand his passion for TCM. He plans to run a traditional Chinese clinic in China or Germany after graduation, which could serve as a bridge between the two countries and publicize (推广) TCM and its culture. 14．What attracted Hans to Henan Province to study TCM?

Having a special, uncommon mind often goes hand in hand with unusual acts. Nikola Tesla is known for many inventions. One is the alternating current (AC) electricity. While inventing it, Tesla was good at keeping things in mind, because he used picture thinking and imagined every step in his mind before even picking up a pencil. Tesla said he wanted to do it because of his mother, who invented small electrical machines when he was a child. In his later years, Tesla had many strange habits. He slept only two hours every night and dined at exactly 8:10 p. m. After dinner, he’d often work until 3 a. m. Before bed, Tesla curled (卷曲) each foot 100 times, saying it was good for his brain. Another scientist encouraged by his mother was Albert Einstein, though what he got from his mother was a love of music. In fact, Einstein often played music on the piano and the violin to help him brainstorm. Einstein’s achievements include the most famous equation (方程式) E=mc2 and his theory of relativity. However, thanks to his wild hair, he was also well-known for the looks of a "mad scientist" and you can tell that he had some interesting quirks (个性). For example, he had a strong dislike of wearing socks. And Einstein was so withdrawn (内向的) as a boy that he couldn’t speak until he was three. Sometimes, the smartest of us are also the strangest. That quiet child in the corner may be the next Tesla or Einstein one day. 18．How did Tesla remember things? A．By drawing mind-maps. B．By reading aloud. C．By taking things down. D．By thinking in pictures. 19．What can we learn from the passage? A．Tesla hated having to wear socks. B．Tesla did some foot exercises before bed. C．Einstein was outgoing when he was a child. D．Einstein was also famous for his hair color. 20．What did Tesla and Einstein have in common? A．They both thought and acted in unusual ways. B．They both had great inventions of the electricity. C．They both played the piano well for better working. D．They both took up inventing because of their mothers. 21．What does the writer mainly want to tell us about? A．The inventions of great people in the world. B．The living habits of smart people around us C．The two great mothers of Tesla and Einstein. D．The special things about well-known scientists.

However, my family is very big on having a traditional job and so when I said that I wanted to go to college and study writing, my parents told me that I couldn’t. They told me that I had to study for a degree (学位) to get a job that is not as risky as writing. I could study journalism (新闻专业), but I didn’t want to lose interest in writing because it would be everyday work, not for fun. I thought that teaching was a pretty good compromise (妥协), especially because of the long holidays. By the time I was twenty-five, I’d already finished two novels and had an agent. To be honest, I never wanted to hide that I was a crime writer. My friends have always known. One reason most people don’t know is that my agent told me that my name “Hazel” sounded like a romance (浪漫) writer for older women. She suggested “Brooke Lane” as my pen name and I agreed. I nearly forgot about it until I walked into school one day and saw one of my workmates reading my novel. I asked her some questions about it, and she didn’t know that I wrote it; she even offered to lend it to me after she finished! Of course, sometimes I wonder what my students will think if they know that their teacher writes about murders and dead bodies at home on weekends. But I think my parents probably helped me: my teaching job keeps me in touch with the real world. 27．The underlined phrase “is very big on” in the passage probably means ________.

Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·山东聊城·期中）On August 16, 2025, Pang Zhongwang, a doctoral student from Tsinghua University, won the “Touching China 2024” Award. His story, from a young man who fights against heavy hardships (困难) to an encouraging character, has warmed many hearts.    Born with great challenges, Pang lived a hard life when he was a child. His father had a serious mental illness. His mother’s legs were cut off, so she could hardly move. Pang himself had a heart problem since he was born. He went door-to-door borrowing money for his mother’s illness. He also picked up waste things to make money and help pay off his family’s debts (债务). However, he never lost hope. He always believed “Knowledge can change life”.     In 2017, Pang entered Tsinghua University with a very high score in the college entrance exam. At first, he was worried that he might let others down. But later, he found his interest in scientific research. He kept trying even when he failed many times. Although money was still the problem, he decided to depend on himself. That’s why he said no to people who raised money for him. Instead, he asked Tsinghua University for grants (补助金) and won the prizes for good grades. His mother named him “Zhongwang”, which means “the hope of everyone”. She always told him to look forward to the future. Pang once said, “Mom smiles every day—why should I feel sad?” Sadly, his mother passed away in 2020. That was just before he got the chance to study for a doctor’s degree at Tsinghua University. Now, Pang has written many important science papers and got patents (专利) for his inventions. His dream is to “serve the country through scientific research” and he works hard for this goal. His story lights the way for many people. As the award speech says, “You leave your hard times behind. You face life with a smile and move forward strongly.” Pang’s journey shows us that if we are strong and keep hope, we can live up to expectations and create our own bright future. 31．How did Pang Zhongwang make money as a child?

When I was nine, I started studying English at school, and I loved it. I learned a lot about English words and grammar at school, and when I turned sixteen, I attended a program in Canada. I lived with a Canadian family for a whole year, and it was one of the best times of my life. Since it is also an official language in Canada, I started studying French during my stay. I studied hard, and it paid off. French is a beautiful language. After I returned to Brazil, I started studying Spanish. I think it is important for Brazilians to learn this language because, here in South America, most countries’ official language is Spanish. I loved learning this language, and thanks to that, I now have friends from Uruguay, Peru, and Argentina. Keeping in touch with these friends is a great way to practice the language. I am also learning Chinese and German. These languages are a bit more difficult for me, but being able to say even a few expressions of these languages is rewarding. Some people ask me why I spend so much time learning foreign languages. I always say there are many benefits. For instance, learning a foreign language improves your memory, introduces you to all kinds of information, helps you to communicate with people from different places and cultures and to make wonderful friends, provides you with insight into another way of thinking, makes you a more interesting person, and improves your chances of finding a good job. So, if you haven’t started studying a foreign language yet, my advice is: don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today! 44．When did the writer start studying French? A．When he was eight.

He always agreed with everything his friends said. One day, he and his friends were discussing whether middle school students should bring their phones to school. His friends all thought they should, but William didn’t agree. However, because he didn’t dare to speak out his mind, he chose to agree with them. But he knew that always going against his own will to agree with others made him feel very uncomfortable. So he took up the courage to tell his mom about this. “I just can’t tell people what I really think or want. It’s too difficult for me.” said William. “You can’t or you don’t want to?” Mom asked patiently. “You are right. I guess I don’t want to. I’m afraid to be different,” answered William. His mom smiled and handed him a famous book, the Analects of Confucius (论语). William knew the book but he didn’t know what his mom meant. However, he started reading the book every night before bed. One day, he read the phrase, “Gentlemen have peace but disagree, flunkies (小人) agree but have no peace.” He didn’t understand it, so he asked his mom.“It means gentlemen achieve harmony (和谐), but they don’t just blindly agree with others. They have their own ideas, and they can tell the truth bravely. Flunkies agree easily, but they don’t really work together,” his mom explained. Suddenly, William was inspired and realized that having different ideas was not a bad thing at all. He was very thankful for the book. He decided to be brave enough to express his own thoughts. He did as he said. From then on, he was no longer afraid to speak out his mind.

We were learning about the human body. Our teacher, Mrs. Adams, was explaining the structure (结构) of the human heart when Bill raised his hand. “I have a question. The adult’s heart is much bigger than the fist (拳头), right?” Bill asked, his voice shaking a bit. “Bill, you’re wrong! The heart is as big as the fist!” someone said from the back of the class. Some students started to laugh loudly. Bill looked embarrassed and put his hand down, feeling uncomfortable. Mrs. Adams noticed this and spoke up. “Class, that is not how we should act here,” she said in a serious voice. “Bill made a mistake, and that’s perfectly OK. Many scientists achieved success because they found things unexpectedly while doing experiments. Mistakes can also lead to great discoveries. We all make mistakes, and it’s part of learning.” She turned to Bill and smiled kindly, “Bill, if an adult’s heart is much larger than his or her fist, he or she may be ill. Don’t let anyone make you feel bad for making a mistake. That’s how we improve ourselves and learn.” The class became quiet, and the students who had laughed at Bill realized they were wrong and felt sorry. I could see them looking at Bill with regret, and I felt the same. They all learned a lesson: it’s not a shame to make mistakes.

Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·山东威海·期中）The Spokes Project: Growing Science Passion in 2025 In 2025, the Spokes project returned with a new team of 10 college students from different American universities. Building on the success of the 2024 trip, they kept the goal of sparking (激发) kids’ love for science—but added more interactive (互动的) activities to make learning even more fun. This year’s journey started in Seattle, Washington, in early May and ended in Denver, Colorado, in late July. Along the 2,800-mile route, the team stopped at 35 small-town schools in states like Oregon, Idaho, and Wyoming. Unlike the previous year’s classes, they now ran hands-on workshops (实践工作坊) : Students got to build simple solar-powered toy cars, test how different materials float or sink, and even code basic dance moves for small robots. They also held “Science Magic Shows,” where they used everyday items (like baking soda and vinegar) to create safe explosions, explaining the chemistry behind each trick. One 7th grader from a small school in Idaho, Mia, shared her excitement: “Before Spokes came, I thought science was just boring formulas in a book. But now I want to join my school’s new science club—we’re planning to make a robot for the school fair!” Teachers also noticed a big change: more students were asking questions in science class and staying after school to work on science projects. When the trip ended, the Spokes team received invitations from over 20 more schools to visit next year. “Our biggest win isn’t the miles we rode,” said Lila, one of the team members. “It’s seeing a kid’s eyes light up when they realize science isn’t just for ‘smart people’—it’s for anyone who likes to ask ‘why’ and ‘how’.” 62．What is the new change in the 2025 Spokes project compared to 2024?

I was able to try different foods, learn different languages, experience different traditions and meet people from different backgrounds.

I often felt I had just settled in (定居) a new country before my parents told me we were moving again. Leaving my friends behind always made me sad, and I have lost touch with many people I was very close to. When I started university in England, English games and English education were completely lost on me! At that time, I didn’t realize how lucky I was to have such an exciting childhood.
