Though he passed away on February 6th, 2025, his strong spirit will live on. And his great work will help China move forward. Huang was born in Guangdong in 1926. When he was young, he saw his country suffering in war. This made him study very hard. He promised to use his knowledge to make the country stronger. In the 1950s, China started to develop nuclear submarines. It was a very difficult job. At that time, China had no modern tech or enough help. But Huang Xuhua and his team were not afraid. They took on this challenge. To keep the work secret, they stayed away from home for many years. During the design of the nuclear submarine, they met many difficulties. For example, designing a nuclear reactor (核反应堆) was really hard. They couldn’t get help from foreign experts. They had to do everything by themselves. They used simple tools like abacuses (算盘) and slide rules to calculate and test carefully. Another problem was to keep the submarine steady (稳定) underwater. But finally, they solved all the problems. In 1970, China’s first nuclear submarine was built. China became one of the countries that could make nuclear submarines. Huang didn’t stop. He kept working on improving it. Because of his hard work, he won many prizes. In 2019, he got the Medal of the Republic. Now, when we think of him, we can still learn a lot from his life story. Let’s be responsible, face difficulties bravely, and work hard to make China stronger. 1．Why did Huang Xuhua study hard when he was young? A．Because his family was very poor. B．Because he wanted to find a good job. C．Because he wanted to make his country stronger. D．Because he was interested in nuclear submarines. 2．How old was Huang Xuhua when China built its first nuclear submarine? A．24. B．44. C．93. D．99. 3．What can we know about Huang Xuhua and his team?

If you answered “Huang Daopo”, then—Bingo!—you are right! spin and weave Huang Daopo was one of the most famous women in the Chinese textile (纺织) industry. The woman, however, had an unhappy childhood. Huang was born in Wunijing—today’s Huajing Town in Xuhui, Shanghai—about 700 years ago. Her family was very poor. At the age of ten, she was sold into marriage. Unable to bear the ill treatment of her parents-in-law, she ran away from home. She hid herself on a ship and was accidentally brought to Yazhou—today’s Sanya in Hainan. Yazhou was famous for its cotton. The Li people there had started a textile industry. Huang stayed with Li women for more than 30 years and learned spinning and weaving from them. Around 1285, Huang returned to Shanghai and stayed in Songjiang. She taught local villagers to spin and weave. Meanwhile, she improved weaving machines and tools, allowing people to work faster and produce better quality textiles. With Huang’s efforts, Songjiang saw its textile industry develop quickly. The spinning and weaving skills then spread across the city. Soon, Shanghai became one of China’s most famous cotton processing centers. Naturally, Huang was highly respected by people in Shanghai.

However, the oldest pen was just a stick or a piece of bamboo. It was difficult for people to write well on thin silk. It is said that Meng Tian, a general of the Qin Kingdom, improved the pen. When Meng was leading an army to fight against the Chu Kingdom, he had to report the situation to his king in time. But his pen was too hard and caused him much trouble, so he was always thinking about the ways to improve it. One day after hunting, Meng made his way home with some wild rabbits on the horse back. Fat and heavy, one rabbit’s tail left a long trail (痕迹) on the ground when they moved on. Suddenly a good idea came to his mind, “If I tie the rabbit’s hair to a stick, would it be easy to write with?” On arriving home, he tied the rabbit’s hair to a stick and tried writing with it. But the rabbit’s hair was too smooth to write well and this made him waste a lot of silk. Meng was so frustrated that he threw away his “invention” into a stone hole in the yard. However, Meng never gave up but kept trying all the time. A few rainy days later, he happened to find his “invention” fatter in the stone hole. He picked it up with hope. The brush pen worked beautifully on silk. It turned out that the special water in the hole had cleaned the oil from the hair. Meng succeeded at last. Thanks to Meng, the brush pen is playing a key role in Chinese culture. Today, students are taught to use brush pens in school. It makes their life more colourful and helps them better understand Chinese culture. 1．Why did Meng Tian want to improve the pen? A．Because his king asked him to do so. B．Because he wanted to be an inventor. C．Because he didn’t have silk to write on. D．Because the pen brought him much trouble. 2．When did Meng think of the good idea according to Paragraph 3?

Born in Italy in 1870, Montessori became the first woman doctor in her country after she graduated from medical school in 1896. Later, working with poor children, she set up a “Children’s house” in Rome in 1907.The rooms were bright and colorful. This was the place where she developed the Montessori Method, which was formed during 1908-1913. Maria thought that children must be free to learn without being criticized (批评) or limited. She let the children make their own choice of what they wanted to do and work with their own speed, not the rest of the class or the teacher. As a result, children enjoy learning and this gives them confidence and makes them happy. The Montessori Method also teaches children skills to help them become independent. Very young children learn to dress themselves, to cook and to put their toys and clothes away. It’s a way of teaching which encourages children to learn by doing and experimenting. Children are encouraged to repeat activities as often as they wish, and they develop their observation (观察) skills by doing different activities. In addition, the Montessori Method thinks that teacher is a guide, not a leader of the classroom, helping to open students’ eyes to wonder around them. A typical room in a Montessori school has many things children can use. The furniture is light so they can arrange it as they wish. Because the environment offers many activities, children like to work together and they develop a social life based on cooperation (合作) rather than competition. Maria Montessori travelled around the world to train teachers to use her method. In 1950, she received the World Peace Education Badges. 1．How old was Montessori when she became a doctor? A．24. B．25.

His parents were scientists, and Simon dreamed of becoming one, too. He had one week to complete his report on bees. He would work really hard on it. It was a chance to study the behavior of bees, which he always wanted to learn about. Simon walked into the house and found his younger brother, Tom, playing on the floor with paper tubes (纸筒). “Simon, help me build a city!” Tom said. “Sorry, I need to do a report on bees and I haven’t got any idea yet.” Simon replied. He walked into the yard, hoping to find the old beehive (蜂窝). There it was, among the firewood. It smelled like dry leaves and each cell (巢室) was six-sided. “How do bees manage to do that? Can they count?” Simon wondered, as he walked back to the living room while studying the beehive. Suddenly, a shout from Tom broke his thought, “Oh, no! I am destroying my city!” Tom had knocked over his water bottle and the water was running all over his paper tubes. Simon sighed, “It’s okay, Tom. Accidents happen.” He got down and started picking up the wet tubes, comforting his little brother. Holding them together, he noticed there was one tube in the middle, with six others around it. The wet center tube was pushed into six-sided, just like the cells of the beehive! Just to be sure, he tried to put five and then seven tubes around the centre tube, but neither way fits. Six was the only number that worked. He said aloud, “Bees just build round cells and stick the sides together. The cells have to be six-sided.” His idea was finally coming together. Simon looked at Tom cheerfully, “Tom, I know what to write in the report. And now I will build a model beehive with your tubes! Will you help me?” Tom, still in tears, looked up at Simon. “Really? You mean I can help?” He began picking out his finest tubes, a smile returning to his face. 1．Why didn’t Simon want to help Tom at first? A．He had a lot of homework to do.

And he also invited them to visit us. The moving day, a Saturday, was a busy day. But we arrived at our new house at noon. About an hour later, kids began to come and soon one of them invited our son to his house to play for the afternoon. By the time he returned, he knew where most of the kids lived and all of their family histories. On Monday morning, the door bell rang just before the time he would leave for school. Then it rang again. By the time he was ready, we had eight young boys waiting to walk to school with him on his first day. They all lived near us. I asked them if their parents had sent them. The answers surprised and pleased me. “No, we just came so that he would have people to walk with.” And “It is the right thing to do.” The start of lasting friendships was formed that day.

Would you say “Good morning” to the cleaners? For Ding Jiacheng, it’s a problem that many students take no notice of the importance of jobs done by the non-teaching staff. ? The boy from Hangzhou, together with several other students, started the project “The Invisible Are Significant”. They hoped more students would respect the “invisible” staff in the school. The project won a prize at China Thinks Big, a competition held by Harvard and Tsinghua University to encourage teenagers to study social matters. Ding and his team members sent questionnaires to 158 students. In one question, 56% of the students said they would greet those non-teaching workers and only 17% strongly believed that every student should do so. The team also did research on the interaction between students and workers. While most students followed the rules of their teachers, one third of the students went against the rules of the dormitory attendants (宿管). “It shows that students treat non-teaching staff differently from teaching staff.” The main reason, according to Ding, is that students know little about the work done by non-teaching staff and have few chances to communicate with them. So Ding’s team shot videos to show the staff working in the school. They also held a basketball match between students and non-teaching staff to increase their connection. “Explore and understand society in practice, and influence the people around us. That’s where the meaning of the project lies.” Ding said. 1．Which of the following can be put in ? . A．He decided to teach students a lesson. B．He wished students to behave well at school.

A．①②④ B．①③ C．②④ D．②③④ 4．Which of the following may Ding agree to? A．Non-teaching workers’ jobs matter more. B．The project influenced society. C．Students should care about the teachers. D．Better communication is helpful. 主题01人与社会——著名人物 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·广州市越秀区执信中学·期中） Once again the Captain’s will (意愿) won. Silently, the men returned to their posts. But Captain Columbus was worried because he knew in his heart that a day would come when his words would no longer help. Before that day, he would see land. Not an eye closed that night. The Captain stood on the high poop (舰楼) and with sleepless eyes he tried hard to look into the darkness ahead. Then, two hours before midnight, the miracle happened. A far-off light struck his eyes. It wavered once or twice, moving quickly on the horizon (地平线), like a fisherman’s boat on the waves. His heart hammered (砰砰直跳). But he dared not cry out, “Land!” “Your eyes are sharp, Alfredo,” he whispered to a young sailor. “Tell me what you see.” As he spoke, the light disappeared. “I see nothing.” The sailor looked into the darkness. The light reappeared. “Look out!” “Ah, yes, yes. A light! Over there!” “Quiet! Are you sure, Alfredo?” “But yes, Captain! It is gone now, yet I saw it.” Surely this was not a trick of the light! Alfredo had seen it too. Somewhere ahead in darkness were human beings and inhabited land. They stood shoulder to trembling shoulder, staring into the dark. Hour after hour passed. The sand-glass under the lantern showed that it was two o’clock in the morning. The other two ships appeared vaguely and in the east the line of the horizon was clearly seen. Then came a flash of flame (火焰). The long-awaited signal Land in sight. “Land Land” Almost immediately came the ringing cry. There in the west, green and fair, lay an island.

The answer from Chinese speed climber Cao Long is 4.98 seconds. The 23-year-old is the third person to have completed the speed climbing route—a 15-meter-tall wall with foot and hand holds—within 5 seconds. The other two are Indonesian athletes Kiromal Katibin and Veddriq Leonardo. People have given Cao many nicknames, such as “fastest man in China” and “Chinese Spider-Man”. According to Cao, the result of speed climbing can differ every time due to its highly demanding and stressful nature. In this race, two climbers compete at the same time, and since it’s a sport that finishes within seconds, achieving success requires perfection. Athletes must have the right balance of focus, confidence and courage to take risks. “Keeping a level head is the key,” Cao said. “Everyone wants to win. But the more you want it, the more likely you’ll mess up. Being too calm and trying to avoid any mistakes won’t do you any good either because that mindset takes away your advantages and your willingness to fight.” Cao went on to note, “You just have to find the right balance.” But this pressure, in fact, is part of the reason why Cao loves the sport. Cao took his first step into the world of climbing at the age of 8. Like many kids starting out, he mainly focused on bouldering (抱石攀岩) and lead climbing (先锋攀岩), doing well in both. Unfortunately, at the age of 18, Cao had surgery after injuring his left arm in a competition. It was after that surgery that Cao decided to give speed climbing a try because it requires different techniques from bouldering and lead climbing and puts less pressure on his previously injured body parts. It turned out that Cao was great at speed climbing as well, even though he thinks he is hardly the strongest athlete. In his eyes, setting a national record of 4.98 seconds has already become a thing of the past. “I will continue to work hard and climb my way to the top.” said Cao. 1．What can we learn from the passage? A．Cao focused on bouldering and lead climbing at the age of 18. B．Cao is nicknamed “fastest man in China” for creating a world record. C．Cao thinks speed climbing can be influenced by the tough natural environment. D．Cao is the first person in China to finish the speed climbing 15-meter-tall route within 5 seconds. 2．What does “keep a level head” mean in paragraph 4? A．Expect to win. B．Keep body balance. C．Keep the head up. D．Stay calm. 3．Why did Cao choose speed climbing? A．Speed climbing affects his body less. B．He did much better in speed climbing. C．He thought speed climbing was more attractive. D．It requires similar techniques used in bouldering and lead climbing. 4．Which of the following can best describe Cao? A．Outgoing and confident. B．Brave and creative. C．Determined and strong-minded. D．Modest and curious. Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·广州市番禺区华南碧桂园学校·期中） Qian Xuesen was born in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province on December 11,1911.

Now it’s Chris Palaez’s turn to speak. The 8-year-old is the joker of the class. With shining dark eyes, he seems like the kind of kid who would enjoy public speaking. But he’s nervous. “I’m here to tell you today why you should...should...” Chris trips on the sound “-ld”— many kids who don’t learn English as their first language find this sound difficult to say. His teacher, Thomas Whaley, is next to him, whispering support. “...Vote for... me...” Except for some stumbles, Chris is doing amazingly well. When he finishes his speech nicely, Whaley asks the rest of the class to praise him. A son of immigrants, Chris started learning English a little over three years ago. Whaley remembers that at the beginning of the year, when Chris was asked to read aloud, he would say he needed to go to the bathroom to avoid it. Learning English as a second language can be a hard experience. What you need is a great teacher who lets you make mistakes. “It is not easy for any student,” Whaley explains, “especially for a student who is learning English as their new language, to feel confident enough to say, ‘I don’t know, but I want to know.’” One day, Whaley asked his students to raise their hands if they thought they could never be a president (总统). A lot of students put up their hands, and this broke his heart. That’s when he got the idea for this second-grade presidential campaign project. Whaley says the project is not just about learning to read and speak in public. He wants these kids to learn to talk proudly about themselves. “Talk proudly about yourself, and your best qualities,” Whaley says, “is very difficult for a child who came into the classroom not feeling confident.” 1．What made Chris nervous? A．Taking a test. B．Making a speech. C．Telling a story. D．Answering a question. 2．What does the underlined word “stumbles” in paragraph 2 refer to? A．Improper stops. B．Silly jokes. C．Spelling mistakes. D．Impolite words. 3．We can infer that the purpose of Whaley’s project is to ________. A．prepare students for their future jobs B．check how well students speak in public C．help students see their own good points D．encourage students to run for president in the future 4．Which of the following best describes Whaley as a teacher? A．Strict. B．Caring. C．Humorous. D．Hard-working. Passage2 （25-26九年级上·广州市天河区第七十五中学·期中） When I was seven years old, my family made me an ant farm. First, we put clean sand in a thin glass box. Then we waited for the ants to arrive. After the ants were in the glass farm, they started to make tunnels (洞穴通道). I was very surprised that each one knew that each had its own job. On the fifth day a tragedy (悲剧) happened. I put my face so close to the glass farm that I knocked it over. All the tunnels fell down. Although the ants remained alive after the earthquake, one by one they began to die. I was scared as I watched them give up building their tunnels to carry bodies to a corner of the farm. My mother said that the ants were dying of sadness. They simply could not understand why their tunnels were gone. Although much time has passed, I still think of that ant farm which taught me much. After that happened, I came to realize the importance of teamwork. Working together, the ants were able to make a wonderful home for themselves. I also learned that they should be admired for their hard work. But there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently: Adversity (逆境) is a natural part of life, and must be accepted. Unlike the ants, we cannot give up when we are sad. If a tunnel is gone, we can build another. Giving up, I say, is not a good choice. 1．What did the writer’s family do for him? A．They bought a few ants. B．They built a farm of ants. C．They caught a lot of ants. D．They found an ant city. 2．Which statement is TRUE according to the passage? A．The ant died one by one because the tunnels were destroyed. B．The ants didn’t give up when the tunnels were destroyed. C．Ants are afraid of the earthquake. D．The writer broke the glass box to kill all the ants. 3．What did the writer come to realize recently? A．Teamwork was important. B．He couldn’t accept adversity. C．Never give up. D．Adversity can be avoided. 4．What is the best title for the passage? A．Ants Fear Adversity B．A Good Lesson from Ants C．Giving up in Adversity D．My Family and Ant Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·广东省广州市汇景实验学校等四校·期中） Plunk! I dropped another pecan (山核桃) into my basket. Then a gentle autumn wind blew some more off the tree. I ran to pick them up. Pecan picking was hard. My basket was only half full. I was visiting my grandpa’s farm in Kansas, and Grandpa sent me into the woods to pick up pecans for us to enjoy later. I wasn’t about to let him down. Then something caught my eye: a squirrel picked up a pecan, climbed up a tree and disappeared into a large hole. A moment later, the squirrel climbed down to the ground to pick another pecan. Once again, he took the pecan back to his secret hiding place inside the hollow (洞) of the tree. Not so secret anymore, I thought. I ran over to the tree and found the hollow was filled with sweet pecans. They were right there for the taking. This was my chance. Handful by handful, I took all the pecans from the hollow. Now the basket was full. I was so proud of myself. I couldn’t wait to show Grandpa all of the pecans I’d collected. “Look, Grandpa,” I shouted, “look at all of the pecans I found!” Grandpa took a look at my basket. “Well, well, how did you find so many, Jimmy? I told him how I’d followed the squirrel and taken the pecans from his hiding place. Grandpa congratulated me on finding out something about the squirrel’s habits. Then he did something that surprised me. He handed the basket back to me and put his arm gently around my shoulders. “That squirrel worked very hard to collect his winter food,” he said. “Now that all of his pecans are gone, don’t you think that little squirrel will be very hungry when it gets cold?” “I didn’t think about that,” I said. “I know,” Grandpa said. “But a good man should never take advantage of someone else’s hard work, even the squirrel’s.” Suddenly I felt as hollow as that old tree. The image of that hungry squirrel wouldn’t leave my mind. There was only one thing I could do. 1．Why was the writer proud of himself? A．He was praised by his grandpa.

Passage 4 （25-26九年级上·广州市越秀区第二中学·期中） A father was very worried about his son, who, at 15 or 16 years old, seemed to show no signs of courage even in the face of small challenges. One day, when the son was bullied (欺凌) by a few older kids at school, he was really scared and didn’t stand up for himself, which made the father even more worried. So, the father went to see a famous boxing coach and asked him to help his son build courage. The coach agreed and said, “Leave your son with me. In three months, I promise he will be a changed person. However, you must not visit him during this time.” The father agreed and left. Three months later, the father returned to pick up his son as promised. The coach set up a friendly match between the boy and an experienced boxer to show the training results. As soon as the match began, the boy was knocked down hard. But to everyone’s surprise, he quickly got up and faced his opponent (对手) again. He was knocked down again right away, but jumped back to his feet immediately. This happened again and again. The boy was knocked down 16 times, yet each time he stood up, determined to face the challenge. The coach turned to the father and asked, “Do you think your son’s performance shows courage?” The father sighed and replied, “Coach, I never expected that after three months of training, he would still be knocked down so easily. I was just hoping to see him change a little.” The coach shook his head and said, “It’s a pity that you see it that way. You’re missing the point. You only see the falls, the superficial (表面上的) winning or losing. Don’t you see the courage of your son to get up each time? That’s true strength. A strong person isn’t someone who never falls, but someone who rises every time they do. That’s true courage.” 1．Why did the father want his son to learn boxing? A．To train him to be braver.

Every Saturday morning, 14-year-old Lisa would wake up to the wonderful smell of pancakes. Her father, Mr. Johnson, would always be in the kitchen wearing his favorite blue apron (围裙), making pancakes while singing old songs. Her older brother, Tom, who was usually busy with schoolwork during the week, would happily help set the table with their bright-colored plates. After eating breakfast together, they would all help clean their small but comfortable apartment, with each person having their own job to do. One Saturday in November, Lisa noticed something was wrong. Her father was much quieter than usual, hardly singing at all, and Tom kept looking at his phone every few minutes, not joining in their morning talk. When Lisa asked if they could play their board game after cleaning, both her father and brother said they were too busy. Lisa felt sad but didn’t want to say anything, so she stayed quiet. The next week, the same thing happened again. Mr. Johnson cooked quickly without his usual happy mood, and Tom seemed more interested in his phone than in spending time with the family. Their Saturday tradition was clearly falling apart. That evening, feeling very unhappy about losing their special family time, Lisa decided to speak honestly during dinner. “I really miss our Saturday fun,” she said quietly. “It doesn’t feel like Saturday without our games and happy times.” Her father looked surprised, then his face became kind and warm. “You’re completely right, Lisa,” he said. “We’ve been too busy recently with work and other activities.” The next Saturday was much better. Not only did they bring back their breakfast and game tradition, but they also started something new—a “thankfulness circle” where each family member would share one good thing that had happened during their week. As they sat together telling stories and laughing, Lisa understood that keeping family traditions going needed work and honest talk from everyone, but the joy it brought was certainly worth it. She learned that sometimes, speaking honestly about your feelings can help protect what is most important—family relationships. So let’s go walking together and discover how beautiful everyday life looks! 1．Which of the following best shows how Lisa’s feelings changed through the story?

I stood at the door and called him, but he didn’t answer. “I can’t wait any longer,” I thought. I took a flashlight from the corner and went out. The light showed me the way, but the shadows of the trees looked scary, like claws. I held the flashlight more tightly: I was worried that Dad might be lost or in trouble, so I walked into the forest slowly. The wind blew harder, and the leaves made noise. I was scared and kept looking back, but I saw nothing. The flashlight was dying. Just then, I heard someone shout, “Xiaoyu? Is that you?” It was Dad! I shouted, “Dad! I’m here!” I saw the light move, and then I saw his orange ranger clothes. I ran to him and jumped into his arms. I could smell the pine on him, and I almost cried. “Son, why are you here?” Dad asked. Dad’s hands were cold, but he hugged me hard. “My phone stopped working.

Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·广州市越秀区第二中学·期中） My high school life was extremely busy and competitive not only in sports but also in academic subjects. The pressure (压力) of trying to get excellent grades while joining in various school activities could be great. Sometimes it seemed like I lived at school! When I was at home, my time was spent doing homework. Some days I was so busy finishing a project that I could hardly see my families. I have a brother and a sister named Sally. She was nine years old. We used to see each other. But after I graduated from the primary school she attended, I saw her less and less. I tried to go to her soccer games, but I had my own play practices and meetings. Then one day I came home, an empty house. I found a note from my mom. she was at my brother’s baseball game.

I couldn’t believe it. I didn’t even know this man but my sister was making me sound like one of Cinderella’s hateful stepsisters. I opened the door, thanked the father for bringing her home, then shut the door and started to cry. To make a long story short, a huge fight followed that ended with me driving my sister to her room.

She stopped near a small noodle stall (摊子), drawn by the nice smell of freshly cooked food. The stall owner noticed her. He called out with a big smile. “Would you like some noodles?” Jiaping hesitated and her cheeks turned red with shame. “I... I forgot to bring money,” she said softly.

They used simple tools like abacuses (算盘) and slide rules to calculate and test carefully. Another problem was to keep the submarine steady (稳定) underwater. But finally, they solved all the problems. In 1970, China’s first nuclear submarine was built. China became one of the countries that could make nuclear submarines. Huang didn’t stop. He kept working on improving it. Because of his hard work, he won many prizes. In 2019, he got the Medal of the Republic. Now, when we think of him, we can still learn a lot from his life story.

However, the oldest pen was just a stick or a piece of bamboo. It was difficult for people to write well on thin silk. It is said that Meng Tian, a general of the Qin Kingdom, improved the pen. When Meng was leading an army to fight against the Chu Kingdom, he had to report the situation to his king in time. But his pen was too hard and caused him much trouble, so he was always thinking about the ways to improve it. One day after hunting, Meng made his way home with some wild rabbits on the horse back. Fat and heavy, one rabbit’s tail left a long trail (痕迹) on the ground when they moved on. Suddenly a good idea came to his mind, “If I tie the rabbit’s hair to a stick, would it be easy to write with?” On arriving home, he tied the rabbit’s hair to a stick and tried writing with it. But the rabbit’s hair was too smooth to write well and this made him waste a lot of silk. Meng was so frustrated that he threw away his “invention” into a stone hole in the yard. However, Meng never gave up but kept trying all the time. A few rainy days later, he happened to find his “invention” fatter in the stone hole. He picked it up with hope. The brush pen worked beautifully on silk. It turned out that the special water in the hole had cleaned the oil from the hair. Meng succeeded at last. Thanks to Meng, the brush pen is playing a key role in Chinese culture. Today, students are taught to use brush pens in school. It makes their life more colourful and helps them better understand Chinese culture. 1．Why did Meng Tian want to improve the pen? A．Because his king asked him to do so.

Born in Italy in 1870, Montessori became the first woman doctor in her country after she graduated from medical school in 1896. Later, working with poor children, she set up a “Children’s house” in Rome in 1907.The rooms were bright and colorful. This was the place where she developed the Montessori Method, which was formed during 1908-1913. Maria thought that children must be free to learn without being criticized (批评) or limited. She let the children make their own choice of what they wanted to do and work with their own speed, not the rest of the class or the teacher. As a result, children enjoy learning and this gives them confidence and makes them happy. The Montessori Method also teaches children skills to help them become independent. Very young children learn to dress themselves, to cook and to put their toys and clothes away. It’s a way of teaching which encourages children to learn by doing and experimenting. Children are encouraged to repeat activities as often as they wish, and they develop their observation (观察) skills by doing different activities. In addition, the Montessori Method thinks that teacher is a guide, not a leader of the classroom, helping to open students’ eyes to wonder around them. A typical room in a Montessori school has many things children can use. The furniture is light so they can arrange it as they wish. Because the environment offers many activities, children like to work together and they develop a social life based on cooperation (合作) rather than competition. Maria Montessori travelled around the world to train teachers to use her method. In 1950, she received the World Peace Education Badges. 1．How old was Montessori when she became a doctor? A．24. B．25. C．26. D．27. 2．What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．Italy. B．A children’s house. C．Medical school. D．Montessori Method. 3．Which of the following is NOT the idea of the Montessori Method? ______ A．The teacher is not a leader but a guide. B．Make children repeat the same activity every day. C．Help children become more independent. D．Encourage children to learn by themselves. 4．According to the passage, what’s the correct order of the following statements? a.The Montessori Method was formed. b.Maria Montessori was born in Italy. c.Maria Montessori set up a “children’s house” in Rome. d.Maria Montessori graduated from a medical school. e.Maria Montessori received the World Peace Education Badges.

His parents were scientists, and Simon dreamed of becoming one, too. He had one week to complete his report on bees. He would work really hard on it. It was a chance to study the behavior of bees, which he always wanted to learn about. Simon walked into the house and found his younger brother, Tom, playing on the floor with paper tubes (纸筒). “Simon, help me build a city!” Tom said. “Sorry, I need to do a report on bees and I haven’t got any idea yet.” Simon replied. He walked into the yard, hoping to find the old beehive (蜂窝). There it was, among the firewood. It smelled like dry leaves and each cell (巢室) was six-sided. “How do bees manage to do that? Can they count?” Simon wondered, as he walked back to the living room while studying the beehive. Suddenly, a shout from Tom broke his thought, “Oh, no! I am destroying my city!” Tom had knocked over his water bottle and the water was running all over his paper tubes. Simon sighed, “It’s okay, Tom. Accidents happen.” He got down and started picking up the wet tubes, comforting his little brother. Holding them together, he noticed there was one tube in the middle, with six others around it. The wet center tube was pushed into six-sided, just like the cells of the beehive! Just to be sure, he tried to put five and then seven tubes around the centre tube, but neither way fits. Six was the only number that worked. He said aloud, “Bees just build round cells and stick the sides together. The cells have to be six-sided.” His idea was finally coming together. Simon looked at Tom cheerfully, “Tom, I know what to write in the report. And now I will build a model beehive with your tubes! Will you help me?” Tom, still in tears, looked up at Simon. “Really? You mean I can help?” He began picking out his finest tubes, a smile returning to his face. 1．Why didn’t Simon want to help Tom at first? A．He had a lot of homework to do. B．He thought Tom’s game was boring. C．He didn’t like playing with his brother. D．He was worried about his science project. 2．How did Simon learn about the beehive? A．By experimenting.

Would you say “Good morning” to the cleaners? For Ding Jiacheng, it’s a problem that many students take no notice of the importance of jobs done by the non-teaching staff. ? The boy from Hangzhou, together with several other students, started the project “The Invisible Are Significant”. They hoped more students would respect the “invisible” staff in the school. The project won a prize at China Thinks Big, a competition held by Harvard and Tsinghua University to encourage teenagers to study social matters. Ding and his team members sent questionnaires to 158 students. In one question, 56% of the students said they would greet those non-teaching workers and only 17% strongly believed that every student should do so. The team also did research on the interaction between students and workers. While most students followed the rules of their teachers, one third of the students went against the rules of the dormitory attendants (宿管). “It shows that students treat non-teaching staff differently from teaching staff.” The main reason, according to Ding, is that students know little about the work done by non-teaching staff and have few chances to communicate with them. So Ding’s team shot videos to show the staff working in the school. They also held a basketball match between students and non-teaching staff to increase their connection. “Explore and understand society in practice, and influence the people around us. That’s where the meaning of the project lies.” Ding said. 1．Which of the following can be put in ? . A．He decided to teach students a lesson. B．He wished students to behave well at school. C．He wanted to make a change. D．He felt very disappointed about the situation. 2．Ding and his teammates started the project to ________. A．win a prize at China Thinks Big B．let more students respect non-teaching workers C．draw students’ attention to serious social problems D．help non-teaching staff save face at school 3．What did Ding’s team do to deal with the problem? ①Send questionnaires. ②Make videos. ③Clean the school. ④Hold a basketball match. A．①②④ B．①③ C．②④ D．②③④ 4．Which of the following may Ding agree to? A．Non-teaching workers’ jobs matter more. B．The project influenced society. C．Students should care about the teachers. D．Better communication is helpful. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述了来自杭州的Ding Jiacheng和他的团队成员发现许多学生不重视非教学人员的工作，于是他们启动了“隐形者很重要”这一项目，希望更多学生尊重学校里的“隐形”工作人员，还介绍了他们为解决这一问题所做的努力。 【详解】 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“For Ding Jiacheng, it’s a problem that many students take no notice of the importance of jobs done by the non-teaching staff.”可知，对于Ding Jiacheng来说，许多学生没有注意到非教学人员工作的重要性，这是一个问题。再结合第二段“The boy from Hangzhou, together with several other students, started the project ‘The Invisible Are Significant’.”可知，来自杭州的这个男孩和其他几个学生一起启动了“隐形者很重要”这个项目。由此可推测出，此处是说他想要做出改变。C选项“他想要做出改变”符合语境。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“They hoped more students would respect the ‘invisible’ staff in the school.”可知，他们希望更多的学生尊重学校里的“隐形”工作人员，也就是非教学人员。B选项“让更多的学生尊重非教学人员”符合文意。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段“Ding and his team members sent questionnaires to 158 students.”可知，Ding Jiacheng和他的团队成员给158名学生发送了问卷；根据“So Ding’s team shot videos to show the staff working in the school.”可知，Ding Jiacheng的团队拍摄了视频来展示在学校工作的员工；根据“They also held a basketball match between students and non-teaching staff to increase their connection.”可知，他们还举办了一场学生和非教学人员之间的篮球比赛来增进他们之间的联系。③“打扫学校”文中未提及，所以①②④是Ding Jiacheng的团队为解决问题所做的事。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据第四段“The main reason, according to Ding, is that students know little about the work done by non-teaching staff and have few chances to communicate with them.”以及“So Ding’s team shot videos to show the staff working in the school. They also held a basketball match between students and non-teaching staff to increase their connection.”可知，Ding Jiacheng认为主要原因是学生对非教学人员的工作了解甚少，且很少有机会与他们交流，所以他的团队拍摄视频、举办篮球比赛来增进他们之间的联系。由此可推测出，Ding Jiacheng认为更好的沟通是有帮助的。D选项“更好的沟通是有帮助的”符合文意。故选D。 主题01人与社会——著名人物 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·广州市越秀区执信中学·期中） Once again the Captain’s will (意愿) won. Silently, the men returned to their posts. But Captain Columbus was worried because he knew in his heart that a day would come when his words would no longer help. Before that day, he would see land. Not an eye closed that night. The Captain stood on the high poop (舰楼) and with sleepless eyes he tried hard to look into the darkness ahead. Then, two hours before midnight, the miracle happened. A far-off light struck his eyes. It wavered once or twice, moving quickly on the horizon (地平线), like a fisherman’s boat on the waves. His heart hammered (砰砰直跳). But he dared not cry out, “Land!” “Your eyes are sharp, Alfredo,” he whispered to a young sailor. “Tell me what you see.” As he spoke, the light disappeared. “I see nothing.” The sailor looked into the darkness. The light reappeared. “Look out!” “Ah, yes, yes. A light! Over there!” “Quiet! Are you sure, Alfredo?” “But yes, Captain! It is gone now, yet I saw it.” Surely this was not a trick of the light! Alfredo had seen it too. Somewhere ahead in darkness were human beings and inhabited land. They stood shoulder to trembling shoulder, staring into the dark. Hour after hour passed. The sand-glass under the lantern showed that it was two o’clock in the morning. The other two ships appeared vaguely and in the east the line of the horizon was clearly seen. Then came a flash of flame (火焰). The long-awaited signal Land in sight. “Land Land” Almost immediately came the ringing cry. There in the west, green and fair, lay an island. Who can tell how Christopher Columbus felt at that moment? The long waiting was at an end. The dream had come true. 1．What made Captain Columbus worried? A．The journey was too long. B．People doubted what he said. C．There was darkness all around. D．His men were too tired to stay awake. 2．Why dared Columbus not cry out “Land” when he first saw the light? A．He wanted to wait for the other ships to confirm the light first. B．He was afraid the light was just a trick of his tired eyes. C．He did not want to wake up the men who were sleeping. D．He knew the light would disappear soon. 3．During that night, how did Captain Columbus’s feelings change? A．Worried→nervous→excited. B．Scared→curious→happy. C．Afraid→happy→excited. D．Excited→scared→happy. 4．What was Captain Columbus’s dream? A．Finding human beings in the sea. B．Being saved by other ships. C．Helping his sailors to get the light. D．Discovering the land on the horizon. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文讲述了哥伦布船队在海上航行时发现陆地的故事。 【详解】 1．细节理解题。根据“But Captain Columbus was worried because he knew in his heart that a day would come when his words would no longer help.”可知，哥伦布船长担心的是人们会不再相信他所说的话，也就是人们会怀疑他所说的话。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“Surely this was not a trick of the light! Alfredo had seen it too.”可知，哥伦布不敢第一次看到光时就喊出“陆地”，是因为他害怕那只是他疲惫眼睛的幻觉，想确认不是幻觉后再喊。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据“But Captain Columbus was worried...”，“His heart hammered (砰砰直跳).”以及“Who can tell how Christopher Columbus felt at that moment? The long waiting was at an end. The dream had come true.”可知，哥伦布船长一开始是担忧的，看到光时内心紧张激动，最后看到陆地时梦想成真很兴奋，所以感情变化是Worried→nervous→excited。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据“Before that day, he would see land.”以及后文他们看到陆地的描述可知，哥伦布船长的梦想是发现地平线上的陆地。故选D。 Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·广州大学附属中学·期中） How fast can someone climb 15 meters—the height of a five-story building? The answer from Chinese speed climber Cao Long is 4.98 seconds. The 23-year-old is the third person to have completed the speed climbing route—a 15-meter-tall wall with foot and hand holds—within 5 seconds. The other two are Indonesian athletes Kiromal Katibin and Veddriq Leonardo. People have given Cao many nicknames, such as “fastest man in China” and “Chinese Spider-Man”. According to Cao, the result of speed climbing can differ every time due to its highly demanding and stressful nature. In this race, two climbers compete at the same time, and since it’s a sport that finishes within seconds, achieving success requires perfection. Athletes must have the right balance of focus, confidence and courage to take risks. “Keeping a level head is the key,” Cao said. “Everyone wants to win. But the more you want it, the more likely you’ll mess up. Being too calm and trying to avoid any mistakes won’t do you any good either because that mindset takes away your advantages and your willingness to fight.” Cao went on to note, “You just have to find the right balance.” But this pressure, in fact, is part of the reason why Cao loves the sport. Cao took his first step into the world of climbing at the age of 8. Like many kids starting out, he mainly focused on bouldering (抱石攀岩) and lead climbing (先锋攀岩), doing well in both. Unfortunately, at the age of 18, Cao had surgery after injuring his left arm in a competition. It was after that surgery that Cao decided to give speed climbing a try because it requires different techniques from bouldering and lead climbing and puts less pressure on his previously injured body parts. It turned out that Cao was great at speed climbing as well, even though he thinks he is hardly the strongest athlete. In his eyes, setting a national record of 4.98 seconds has already become a thing of the past. “I will continue to work hard and climb my way to the top.” said Cao. 1．What can we learn from the passage? A．Cao focused on bouldering and lead climbing at the age of 18. B．Cao is nicknamed “fastest man in China” for creating a world record. C．Cao thinks speed climbing can be influenced by the tough natural environment. D．Cao is the first person in China to finish the speed climbing 15-meter-tall route within 5 seconds. 2．What does “keep a level head” mean in paragraph 4? A．Expect to win. B．Keep body balance. C．Keep the head up. D．Stay calm. 3．Why did Cao choose speed climbing? A．Speed climbing affects his body less. B．He did much better in speed climbing. C．He thought speed climbing was more attractive. D．It requires similar techniques used in bouldering and lead climbing. 4．Which of the following can best describe Cao? A．Outgoing and confident. B．Brave and creative. C．Determined and strong-minded. D．Modest and curious. 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要讲述了中国速度攀岩运动员曹龙以4.98秒的成绩完成15米攀岩的成就，并介绍了他对攀岩运动的态度和经历。 【详解】 1．细节理解题。根据“The 23-year-old is the third person to have completed the speed climbing route—a 15-meter-tall wall with foot and hand holds—within 5 seconds.”和“The other two are Indonesian athletes Kiromal Katibin and Veddriq Leonardo.”可知，曹龙是第三位在5秒内完成15米速度攀岩的选手，但前两位是印尼运动员，因此他是中国首位达成此成就的人。故选D。 2．词句猜测题。根据“Everyone wants to win. But the more you want it, the more likely you’ll mess up. Being too calm and trying to avoid any mistakes won’t do you any good either because that mindset takes away your advantages and your willingness to fight.”和“You just have to find the right balance.”可知，每个人都想赢。但是你越想要，你越有可能搞砸。过于冷静和试图避免任何错误对你也没有任何好处，因此需要找到适当的平衡，即保持冷静但不过度。“keep a level head”指保持冷静，与选项D意思相近。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据“Cao decided to give speed climbing a try because it requires different techniques from bouldering and lead climbing and puts less pressure on his previously injured body parts.”可知，曹龙选择速度攀岩是因为它对受伤部位压力较小，即速度攀岩对身体影响更小。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据“It was after that surgery that Cao decided to give speed climbing a try”和“In his eyes, setting a national record of 4.98 seconds has already become a thing of the past.”和“I will continue to work hard and climb my way to the top”可知，手术后曹龙决定尝试速度攀岩，体现其顽强的品质；曹龙不满足于现有成就，决心继续努力，体现其坚定的品质。所以坚定和顽强能用来描述曹龙。故选C。 Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·广州市番禺区华南碧桂园学校·期中） Qian Xuesen was born in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province on December 11,1911.

Qian joined them and received his PhD．degree in both aerospace and mathematics three years later. After he graduated, he became a professor as well as a researcher who studied rockets and missile（导弹） theories. In 1949, when the news of the birth of the People’s Republic of China came to the United States, Qian Xuesen and his wife decided to return to China. In 1950, when they were ready to return home, they were stopped by US officials and sent to prison. With the help of Chinese government and his friends, he finally returned home. When he returned to China in 1955, our country’s space research was almost deserted. In 1956, he set up the first research institute of rockets and missile. And he personally trained the first generation of China’s aerospace engineers. He was a pioneer and was honored as “The father of China’s missile”. He is the pride of the Chinese people. He made important contributions to the missile and space programs in China. He passed away on October 31, 2009 at the age of 98, but his history still encouraged Chinese youth. His devotion to our country was expressed in his saying, “My career is in China, my success is in China and my destination is in China!” When someone said he could make much more money if he stayed in the United States, he laughed and said, “My family name is Qian, but I don’t like Qian.” 1．In what order did the following things about Qian Xuesen take place? a. He travelled to the United States. b. He received a degree in mechanical engineering. c. He set up the first research institute of rockets and missile in his homeland. d. He was stopped by US officials and sent to prison. e. he studied rockets with a group of scientists in the university. A．a-b-e-d-c B．b-a-e-d-c C．e-b-a-d-c D．a-e-b-d-c 2．What does the underlined word “deserted” in the fourth paragraph probably mean? A．Hard. B．Common. C．Completed. D．Blank. 3．Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the passage? A．Qian started studying rockets at Shanghai Jiao tongs University. B．Qian could complete complex calculations faster than computers. C．Qian and his wife met great difficulties when returning to China. D．Qian created the first research institute of rockets and missile the year he returned to China. 4．What can we NOT learn about Qian Xuesen from the last paragraph? A．He used to encourage Chinese youth. B．he had a strong love for his motherland. C．He placed national interest ahead of personal gain. D．Money mattered little to bin. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了钱学森的求学历程以及他一生所取得的成就。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“he received a degree in mechanical engineering with an emphasis on railroad administration.”以及“Qian graduated from Shanghai Jiao Tons University in 1934, and the following year he left China for graduate study in the US.”、第二段中“In an age before computers, Qian’s ability to quickly perform complex calculations attracted a group of rocket scientists at California Institute of technology.”、第三段中“when they were ready to return home, they are stopped by US officials and sent to prison. ”以及第四段中“In 1956, he set up the first research institute of rockets and missile.”可知，关于钱学森的事情是按照b-a-e-d-c顺序发生的。故选B。 2．词义猜测题。根据“In 1956, he set up the first research institute of rockets and missile. And he personally trained the first generation of China’s aerospace engineers.”可以推知，此处指我们国家的空间站研究在那时是空白的。因此deserted的意思是“空白的”。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据“In 1950, when they were ready to return home, they are stopped by US officials and sent to prison.”可知，钱学森和他的妻子在回国时遇到了很大的困难。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据“He passed away on October 31, 2009 at the age of 98, but his history still encouraged Chinese youth.”可知，他的历史仍然鼓舞着中国青年，因此“他曾经鼓励中国青年。”的表述是不清晰的。故选A。 主题02人与自我——个人经历、哲理感悟 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·广东省广州市从化区·期中） For Canaan Elementary’s second-grade students in Patchogue, New York, today is speech day. Now it’s Chris Palaez’s turn to speak. The 8-year-old is the joker of the class. With shining dark eyes, he seems like the kind of kid who would enjoy public speaking. But he’s nervous. “I’m here to tell you today why you should...should...” Chris trips on the sound “-ld”— many kids who don’t learn English as their first language find this sound difficult to say. His teacher, Thomas Whaley, is next to him, whispering support. “...Vote for... me...” Except for some stumbles, Chris is doing amazingly well. When he finishes his speech nicely, Whaley asks the rest of the class to praise him. A son of immigrants, Chris started learning English a little over three years ago. Whaley remembers that at the beginning of the year, when Chris was asked to read aloud, he would say he needed to go to the bathroom to avoid it. Learning English as a second language can be a hard experience. What you need is a great teacher who lets you make mistakes. “It is not easy for any student,” Whaley explains, “especially for a student who is learning English as their new language, to feel confident enough to say, ‘I don’t know, but I want to know.’” One day, Whaley asked his students to raise their hands if they thought they could never be a president (总统). A lot of students put up their hands, and this broke his heart. That’s when he got the idea for this second-grade presidential campaign project. Whaley says the project is not just about learning to read and speak in public. He wants these kids to learn to talk proudly about themselves. “Talk proudly about yourself, and your best qualities,” Whaley says, “is very difficult for a child who came into the classroom not feeling confident.” 1．What made Chris nervous? A．Taking a test. B．Making a speech. C．Telling a story. D．Answering a question. 2．What does the underlined word “stumbles” in paragraph 2 refer to? A．Improper stops. B．Silly jokes. C．Spelling mistakes. D．Impolite words. 3．We can infer that the purpose of Whaley’s project is to ________. A．prepare students for their future jobs B．check how well students speak in public C．help students see their own good points D．encourage students to run for president in the future 4．Which of the following best describes Whaley as a teacher? A．Strict. B．Caring. C．Humorous. D．Hard-working. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了纽约一所小学二年级学生Chris Palaez在演讲日紧张的表现，以及他的老师Whaley如何通过鼓励和项目帮助学生建立自信的故事。 【详解】 1．细节理解题。根据文章第1段“Now it’s Chris Palaez’s turn to speak…But he’s nervous.”可知，Chris紧张的原因是轮到他演讲。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据文章第2段“Chris trips on the sound ‘-ld’…Except for some stumbles, Chris is doing amazingly well.”可知Chris在发“-ld”音时卡壳了，除了一些磕绊，Chris表现得非常好，“stumbles”指演讲中的不流畅停顿。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据文章最后两段Whaley的话“He wants these kids to learn to talk proudly about themselves…is very difficult for a child who came into the classroom not feeling confident.”可知他希望孩子们学会自豪地谈论自己，可推知，项目的目的是帮助学生发现自身优点。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据全文对Whaley的描述，如“whispering support”（低声鼓励）、“asks the class to praise him”（让全班表扬Chris）以及他设计项目帮助学生建立自信的行为，可看出他是一位关爱学生的老师。故选B。 Passage2 （25-26九年级上·广州市天河区第七十五中学·期中） When I was seven years old, my family made me an ant farm. First, we put clean sand in a thin glass box. Then we waited for the ants to arrive. After the ants were in the glass farm, they started to make tunnels (洞穴通道). I was very surprised that each one knew that each had its own job. On the fifth day a tragedy (悲剧) happened. I put my face so close to the glass farm that I knocked it over. All the tunnels fell down. Although the ants remained alive after the earthquake, one by one they began to die. I was scared as I watched them give up building their tunnels to carry bodies to a corner of the farm. My mother said that the ants were dying of sadness. They simply could not understand why their tunnels were gone. Although much time has passed, I still think of that ant farm which taught me much. After that happened, I came to realize the importance of teamwork. Working together, the ants were able to make a wonderful home for themselves. I also learned that they should be admired for their hard work. But there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently: Adversity (逆境) is a natural part of life, and must be accepted. Unlike the ants, we cannot give up when we are sad. If a tunnel is gone, we can build another. Giving up, I say, is not a good choice. 1．What did the writer’s family do for him? A．They bought a few ants. B．They built a farm of ants. C．They caught a lot of ants. D．They found an ant city. 2．Which statement is TRUE according to the passage? A．The ant died one by one because the tunnels were destroyed. B．The ants didn’t give up when the tunnels were destroyed. C．Ants are afraid of the earthquake. D．The writer broke the glass box to kill all the ants. 3．What did the writer come to realize recently? A．Teamwork was important. B．He couldn’t accept adversity. C．Never give up. D．Adversity can be avoided. 4．What is the best title for the passage? A．Ants Fear Adversity B．A Good Lesson from Ants C．Giving up in Adversity D．My Family and Ant 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文讲述作者七岁时家人给他做了一个蚂蚁农场，蚂蚁在里面建造洞穴通道，后来作者不小心弄翻玻璃农场，隧道坍塌，蚂蚁因悲伤陆续死去。作者从中领悟到团队合作的重要性，更在后来明白逆境是生活的一部分，不应放弃的道理。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“When I was seven years old, my family made me an ant farm.”可知，作者的家人为他建了一个蚂蚁农场。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“All the tunnels fell down. Although the ants remained alive after the earthquake, one by one they began to die.”可知，隧道被毁后蚂蚁陆续死去，故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段“But there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently: Adversity (逆境) is a natural part of life, and must be accepted. Unlike the ants, we cannot give up when we are sad. Unlike the ants, we cannot give up when we are sad. If a tunnel is gone, we can build another. Giving up, I say, is not a good choice.” 可知，作者最近意识到不应放弃。故选C。 4．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述作者从蚂蚁农场的经历中得到关于团队合作以及面对逆境不应放弃的教训。B选项“从蚂蚁身上学到的宝贵一课”符合主旨；故选B。 Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·广东省广州市汇景实验学校等四校·期中） Plunk! I dropped another pecan (山核桃) into my basket. Then a gentle autumn wind blew some more off the tree. I ran to pick them up. Pecan picking was hard. My basket was only half full. I was visiting my grandpa’s farm in Kansas, and Grandpa sent me into the woods to pick up pecans for us to enjoy later. I wasn’t about to let him down. Then something caught my eye: a squirrel picked up a pecan, climbed up a tree and disappeared into a large hole. A moment later, the squirrel climbed down to the ground to pick another pecan. Once again, he took the pecan back to his secret hiding place inside the hollow (洞) of the tree. Not so secret anymore, I thought. I ran over to the tree and found the hollow was filled with sweet pecans. They were right there for the taking. This was my chance. Handful by handful, I took all the pecans from the hollow. Now the basket was full. I was so proud of myself. I couldn’t wait to show Grandpa all of the pecans I’d collected. “Look, Grandpa,” I shouted, “look at all of the pecans I found!” Grandpa took a look at my basket. “Well, well, how did you find so many, Jimmy? I told him how I’d followed the squirrel and taken the pecans from his hiding place. Grandpa congratulated me on finding out something about the squirrel’s habits. Then he did something that surprised me. He handed the basket back to me and put his arm gently around my shoulders. “That squirrel worked very hard to collect his winter food,” he said. “Now that all of his pecans are gone, don’t you think that little squirrel will be very hungry when it gets cold?” “I didn’t think about that,” I said. “I know,” Grandpa said. “But a good man should never take advantage of someone else’s hard work, even the squirrel’s.” Suddenly I felt as hollow as that old tree. The image of that hungry squirrel wouldn’t leave my mind. There was only one thing I could do. 1．Why was the writer proud of himself? A．He was praised by his grandpa. B．He found out his grandpa’s secret. C．He helped the squirrel in the hollow. D．He filled his basket with so many pecans. 2．Which of the following is the correct order according to the passage? a. I took all the pecans in the hollow to my basket. b. I saw a squirrel pick up a pecan and took it back to its home. c. I picked up the pecans on the ground. d. Grandpa talked to me about what would happen to the squirrel. e. I went to visit Grandpa. A．a, c, b, e, d B．e, c, b, a, d C．e, c, a, b, d D．c, e, a, b, d 3．What is the possible ending to the story? A．The writer sent the pecans to his neighbors. B．The writer put all the pecans back into the hole. C．The writer hid the pecans in his grandpa’s house. D．The writer enjoyed all the pecans with his family. 4．Which of the following best describes the writer? A．Selfish (自私的). B．Lazy. C．Kind. D．Hardhearted. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在爷爷的农场捡山核桃时，发现松鼠储存的山核桃并将其全部据为己有，为此感到自豪。但爷爷指出，一个好人不应利用他人(甚至松鼠) 的辛勤劳动，作者因此感到愧疚，最终可能做出弥补行为。故事旨在传达要尊重他人劳动、心怀善意的价值观。 【详解】 1．细节理解题。根据文章第4段“Handful by handful, I took all the pecans from the hollow. Now the basket was full. I was so proud of myself.”可知，作者为自己装满了一篮子山核桃而自豪。故选D。 2．细节理解题。综合全文可知，作者先到爷爷的农场，才有了后续捡山核桃的行为，因此“e. I went to visit Grandpa.”排第一； 然后“c. I picked up the pecans on the ground.”排第二； 接着“b. I saw a squirrel pick up a pecan and took it back to its home.”排第三； 之后“a. I took all the pecans in the hollow to my basket.”排第四；最后“d. Grandpa talked to me about what would happen to the squirrel.”排第五。因此，顺序为e, c, b, a, d。故选 B。 3．推理判断题。根据文章最后“Suddenly I felt as hollow as that old tree. The image of that hungry squirrel wouldn’t leave my mind. There was only one thing I could do.”可知，作者因爷爷的话感到愧疚，会对松鼠的遭遇产生共情，最可能的结局是把山核桃放回树洞。故选B。 4．推理判断题。尽管作者一开始拿走了松鼠的山核桃，但在爷爷的点拨下，他因松鼠可能挨饿而感到愧疚，说明他本质是善良的。故选C。 Passage 4 （25-26九年级上·广州市越秀区第二中学·期中） A father was very worried about his son, who, at 15 or 16 years old, seemed to show no signs of courage even in the face of small challenges. One day, when the son was bullied (欺凌) by a few older kids at school, he was really scared and didn’t stand up for himself, which made the father even more worried. So, the father went to see a famous boxing coach and asked him to help his son build courage. The coach agreed and said, “Leave your son with me. In three months, I promise he will be a changed person. However, you must not visit him during this time.” The father agreed and left. Three months later, the father returned to pick up his son as promised. The coach set up a friendly match between the boy and an experienced boxer to show the training results. As soon as the match began, the boy was knocked down hard. But to everyone’s surprise, he quickly got up and faced his opponent (对手) again. He was knocked down again right away, but jumped back to his feet immediately. This happened again and again. The boy was knocked down 16 times, yet each time he stood up, determined to face the challenge. The coach turned to the father and asked, “Do you think your son’s performance shows courage?” The father sighed and replied, “Coach, I never expected that after three months of training, he would still be knocked down so easily. I was just hoping to see him change a little.” The coach shook his head and said, “It’s a pity that you see it that way. You’re missing the point. You only see the falls, the superficial (表面上的) winning or losing. Don’t you see the courage of your son to get up each time? That’s true strength. A strong person isn’t someone who never falls, but someone who rises every time they do. That’s true courage.” 1．Why did the father want his son to learn boxing? A．To train him to be braver. B．To help him win the games. C．To make him learn to be responsible. D．To help him be an experienced boxer. 2．Which of the following best describes the father’s feeling about the result of the match?

A．c-a-b-d-e B．c-a-d-e-b C．a-c-b-d-e D．a-c-d-e-b 4．What lesson can we learn from the passage? A．Where there is a will, there is a way. B．Little by little, the bird builds its nest. C．All things are difficult before they are easy. D．True courage lies in rising every time we fall. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．D 【导语】本文讲述了一位父亲因儿子缺乏勇气而求助拳击教练，经过三个月训练后，儿子虽在比赛中屡次被击倒但每次都顽强站起，教练以此向父亲说明真正的勇气不在于不跌倒而在于每次跌倒后都能重新站起来。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“the father went to see a famous boxing coach and asked him to help his son build courage”可知，父亲让儿子学习拳击是为了培养他的勇气。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段“The father sighed and replied, ‘Coach, I never expected that after three months of training, he would still be knocked down so easily. I was just hoping to see him change a little.’”可推知，父亲对比赛结果感到失望和伤心。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据文章内容“when the son was bullied (欺凌) by a few older kids at school, he was really scared and didn’t stand up for himself”，“So, the father went to see a famous boxing coach and asked him to help his son build courage.”，“The coach set up a friendly match between the boy and an experienced boxer to show the training results.”，“The boy was knocked down 16 times, yet each time he stood up, determined to face the challenge.”及“The father sighed and replied…”可知，正确的事件顺序是：儿子被欺负却不反抗(a)→父亲请教练训练儿子(c)→教练组织比赛展示训练成果(d)→儿子不断站起来(e)→父亲表示结果不如预期(b)。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文故事及教练最后说的话“A strong person isn’t someone who never falls, but someone who rises every time they do.

Every Saturday morning, 14-year-old Lisa would wake up to the wonderful smell of pancakes. Her father, Mr. Johnson, would always be in the kitchen wearing his favorite blue apron (围裙), making pancakes while singing old songs. Her older brother, Tom, who was usually busy with schoolwork during the week, would happily help set the table with their bright-colored plates. After eating breakfast together, they would all help clean their small but comfortable apartment, with each person having their own job to do. One Saturday in November, Lisa noticed something was wrong. Her father was much quieter than usual, hardly singing at all, and Tom kept looking at his phone every few minutes, not joining in their morning talk. When Lisa asked if they could play their board game after cleaning, both her father and brother said they were too busy. Lisa felt sad but didn’t want to say anything, so she stayed quiet. The next week, the same thing happened again. Mr. Johnson cooked quickly without his usual happy mood, and Tom seemed more interested in his phone than in spending time with the family. Their Saturday tradition was clearly falling apart. That evening, feeling very unhappy about losing their special family time, Lisa decided to speak honestly during dinner. “I really miss our Saturday fun,” she said quietly. “It doesn’t feel like Saturday without our games and happy times.” Her father looked surprised, then his face became kind and warm. “You’re completely right, Lisa,” he said. “We’ve been too busy recently with work and other activities.” The next Saturday was much better. Not only did they bring back their breakfast and game tradition, but they also started something new—a “thankfulness circle” where each family member would share one good thing that had happened during their week. As they sat together telling stories and laughing, Lisa understood that keeping family traditions going needed work and honest talk from everyone, but the joy it brought was certainly worth it. She learned that sometimes, speaking honestly about your feelings can help protect what is most important—family relationships. So let’s go walking together and discover how beautiful everyday life looks! 1．Which of the following best shows how Lisa’s feelings changed through the story? A．Angry-hopeful-satisfied B．Happy-disappointed-understanding C．Excited-worried-confused D．Curious-sad-angry 2．What does the underlined phrase “falling apart” in Paragraph 3 most likely mean? A．Becoming less popular. B．Turning into something new. C．Coming to an end. D．Growing stronger. 3．What is the most important message the writer wants to tell us? A．Family traditions should never be changed. B．Modern technology is bad for family relationships. C．Keeping family connections needs attention and communication. D．Weekend activities are important to family happiness. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了约翰逊一家原本有着温馨的周六家庭传统，后来家人因忙碌逐渐忽视这份专属时光，传统濒临消失。Lisa主动坦诚表达内心感受后，家人重拾传统并增添新活动，最终明白坦诚沟通与用心维系，才能守护亲情与家庭温暖。 【详解】 1．故事开头Lisa感受到家庭温馨，心情是快乐的 (happy)；中期父亲沉默、哥哥看手机，传统瓦解，她感到失望/难过 (disappointed)；最后她主动沟通后传统恢复并升级，她理解了家庭经营需要每个人努力 (understanding)。情绪变化对应：Happy-disappointed-understanding。 2．根据第三段前文可知：父亲失去往日的愉悦状态，哥哥沉迷手机、缺乏家庭互动；结合后文Lisa坦言十分怀念周六的欢乐时光，能够看出，原本温馨的周六家庭传统逐渐难以维系、濒临消失。falling apart本义为“破裂、瓦解”，在文中特指家庭传统慢慢消散、无法正常延续。C选项Coming to an end意为“走向终结、即将结束”，与划线短语的语境含义高度契合。 3．文章结尾点明主旨：“keeping family traditions going needed work and honest talk from everyone”以及“speaking honestly about your feelings can help protect what is most important—family relationships”。因此核心信息是家庭关系需要用心经营和真诚沟通。故正确选项为C选项“维系家庭关系需要用心与沟通”。A选项“家庭传统不应改变”与文章结尾增加新传统矛盾；B选项“现代科技对家庭关系有害”不是文章主旨；D选项“周末活动对家庭幸福很重要”只是表面，未触及深层主题。 Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·广州市天河区骏景中学·期中） It was very dark outside. I heated the food in the kitchen again, but my dad still didn’t come back from the forest. He worked as a forest ranger (护林员). In the morning, he told me he would go to check the new small trees and that I didn’t need to wait for him for dinner. But now, the wind was blowing hard and making a loud noise, like an animal. I stood at the door and called him, but he didn’t answer. “I can’t wait any longer,” I thought. I took a flashlight from the corner and went out. The light showed me the way, but the shadows of the trees looked scary, like claws. I held the flashlight more tightly: I was worried that Dad might be lost or in trouble, so I walked into the forest slowly. The wind blew harder, and the leaves made noise. I was scared and kept looking back, but I saw nothing. The flashlight was dying. Just then, I heard someone shout, “Xiaoyu? Is that you?” It was Dad! I shouted, “Dad! I’m here!” I saw the light move, and then I saw his orange ranger clothes. I ran to him and jumped into his arms. I could smell the pine on him, and I almost cried. “Son, why are you here?” Dad asked. Dad’s hands were cold, but he hugged me hard. “My phone stopped working. I was on my way home.” I put my face against his coat. Listening to his heartbeat, I felt safe again. 1．What is the correct order of the writer’s experience? ①He heard his father’s call.    ②He took a flashlight and entered the forest. ③He felt scared but kept moving forward.    ④He ran to his father and hugged him. A．①②③④ B．②①④③ C．②③①④ D．③②①④ 2．How did the writer most probably feel when he saw his father? A．Angry. B．Excited. C．Afraid. D．Sad. 3．What can we learn from the passage? A．He loved his father deeply. B．He often got lost in the forest. C．He disliked his father’s job. D．His father didn’t care about his safety. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在父亲深夜未归、天气恶劣时，不顾恐惧进入森林寻找父亲，最终与父亲团聚的经历，展现了作者对父亲的担忧与深爱，以及父子间温暖的情感联结。 1．细节理解题。按原文事件顺序梳理：根据第二段“I took a flashlight... went out... walked into the forest slowly.”可知，作者拿上手电筒进入森林，②排第一；根据第三段“I was scared and kept looking back, but I saw nothing.”可知，作者感到害怕但继续前进，③排第二；根据第三段“Just then, I heard someone shout, ‘Xiaoyu? Is that you?’”可知，作者听到父亲的呼喊，①排第三；再根据第四段“I ran to him and jumped into his arms.”可知，作者跑向父亲并拥抱了他，④排第四。因此，顺序为：②③①④。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段“I ran to him and jumped into his arms... I almost cried.”可知，作者跑向父亲、跳进怀里、几乎哭出来，这些动作和情绪体现出作者见到父亲时的激动；其他选项，愤怒、害怕、悲伤均与“重逢时的激动”不符。故选B。 3．推理判断题。综合全文可知，作者因担心父亲，不顾森林的黑暗与恐惧，主动进入森林寻找，重逢时的激动拥抱等细节，都体现了作者对父亲的深爱，也凸显了父子间温暖的情感联结；其他选项，B (经常迷路)、C (不喜欢父亲工作)、D (父亲不关心他安全) 均无原文对应细节，属于无中生有。故选A。 Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·广州市越秀区第二中学·期中） My high school life was extremely busy and competitive not only in sports but also in academic subjects. The pressure (压力) of trying to get excellent grades while joining in various school activities could be great. Sometimes it seemed like I lived at school! When I was at home, my time was spent doing homework. Some days I was so busy finishing a project that I could hardly see my families. I have a brother and a sister named Sally. She was nine years old. We used to see each other. But after I graduated from the primary school she attended, I saw her less and less. I tried to go to her soccer games, but I had my own play practices and meetings. Then one day I came home, an empty house. I found a note from my mom. she was at my brother’s baseball game. However, my sister was at her friend’s and would be dropped off. At five o’clock, I went to turn on the light near the front door and saw my sister walking towards the door with her friend and her friend’s father. I heard them talking. “Is anyone at home?” the father asked. “Just my mean elder sister—Linda and she only minds her own things. She’s probably in her room as usual,” my sister replied. I couldn’t believe it. I didn’t even know this man but my sister was making me sound like one of Cinderella’s hateful stepsisters. I opened the door, thanked the father for bringing her home, then shut the door and started to cry. To make a long story short, a huge fight followed that ended with me driving my sister to her room. But I realized what was worse than the fight was that I really hadn’t been a good elder sister. I had forgotten what was important and what really mattered. I had got caught in a lot of pressure and competition. In fact, my sister made me realize the grades I got didn’t matter to everyone—certainly not to her. All that matters to her is that I’m her elder sister, and that’s what matters to me, too. 1．What does the underlined phrase “drop off” in paragraph 3 mean? A．cared for B．sent back C．raised up D．left alone 2．What did Sally think of her elder sister? A．She was shy and lonely. B．She was cool and strange. C．She cared about nothing but her own things.

C．Living is all about competing with others. D．Love from family members is important. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者的高中生活忙碌且充满压力，忙于学业和参加学校活动，导致没有时间和家人相处交流。直到有一次听到妹妹向别人形容自己是个只关心自己事情的刻薄姐姐，两人为此发生了争执，但这也让作者明白了家人之间的爱才是最重要的。 【详解】 1．词句猜测题。根据“However, my sister was at her friend’s and would be dropped off”可知，妹妹在朋友家，然后应该是会被送回来，故此处的划线短语“drop off”应是“送回”的意思，与sent back意思相近。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“Just my mean elder sister—Linda and she only minds her own things”可知，妹妹觉得姐姐只关心自己的事情。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“The pressure (压力) of trying to get excellent grades while joining in various school activities could be great”可知，作者高中生活很忙，有学业和活动的压力，即a；根据“I tried to go to her soccer games, but I had my own play practices and meetings.”可知，作者试着去看妹妹的足球比赛，但因自己有练习和会议没去成，即d；根据“Then one day I came home, an empty house. I found a note from my mom. she was at my brother’s baseball game.”可知，妈妈留了纸条说在哥哥的棒球比赛现场，即c；根据“Just my mean elder sister—Linda and she only minds her own things”可知，作者听到妹妹说自己是个刻薄的姐姐，即b；根据“To make a long story short, a huge fight followed that ended with me driving my sister to her room.”可知，作者和妹妹发生了争执，即e。故正确顺序为a-d-c-b-e。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据“In fact, my sister made me realize the grades I got didn’t matter to everyone—certainly not to her. All that matters to her is that I’m her elder sister, and that’s what matters to me, too.”可知，事实上，妹妹让作者意识到，成绩对每个人来说都不重要。对妹妹来说最重要的是作者是她的姐姐，这对作者来说也很重要。故可推测出，作者是意识到了家人的爱很重要。故选D。 Passage 4 （25-26九年级上·广州市中山大学附属中学雅宝学校·期中） “You don’t understand me! I wish I had a different mother!” Jiaping shouted. Her mother replied, “I’m just trying to look out for you! Why can’t you listen?” Jiaping couldn’t stand it anymore. “I’m leaving!” she cried and rushed out. Walking through the streets, Jiaping’s strong feelings slowly gave way to a more basic need: food. She stopped near a small noodle stall (摊子), drawn by the nice smell of freshly cooked food. The stall owner noticed her. He called out with a big smile. “Would you like some noodles?” Jiaping hesitated and her cheeks turned red with shame. “I... I forgot to bring money,” she said softly. He waved her over, “Don’t worry. Come and sit down.” Full of gratitude (感激), Jiaping took a seat. Soon, a bowl of noodles was served, along with a few simple dishes. As she ate the noodles, the warmth of the food touched her. Tears began to run down. “Are you all right?” the owner asked. “I’m just...” Jiaping said. “We don’t know each other, yet you were kind enough to cook for me. But earlier today, I fought with Mum. She told me not to come back. You showed me more kindness.” The owner then said, “I only made you one bowl of noodles, and you feel so thankful. Your mother has cooked for you and cared for you for more than ten years. How could you not feel even more thankful to her?” Jiaping was surprised. A single bowl of noodles from a stranger had moved her to tears—but what about the countless meals her mother had made? She finished eating and took a deep breath. It was time to go home and say the words: Mum, I’m sorry. I was wrong. As she approached her house, she saw her mother outside with a worried look. Her face lit up when she saw Jiaping. “Ping, hurry home!” she called out. “I’ve already cooked dinner. If you don’t eat soon, it’ll get cold.” Suddenly, tears filled Jiaping’s eyes again—not from hunger or shame, but from love. 1．How does the writer start the story? A．By telling some facts.

A．Mum, please love me again B．A bowl of noodles, a lesson in thanks C．Stranger, thank you for the food D．An angry daughter, a sad mother 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了女孩Jiaping与母亲争吵后离家，因饥饿在街边面摊得到陌生摊主的免费帮助（一碗面），后经摊主点醒，意识到应对母亲多年付出心怀感恩，最终回家的故事。 【详解】 1．推理判断题。根据第一段内容“‘You don’t understand me! I wish I had a different mother!’ Jiaping shouted... ‘I’m leaving!’ she cried and rushed out.”可知，故事开篇就是Jiaping和母亲之间直接的、带有强烈情绪的对话冲突，所以文章是通过描述一场争吵开启故事。故选D。 2．词句猜测题。根据“Jiaping hesitated and her cheeks turned red with shame. ‘I... I forgot to bring money,’ she said softly.”可知，Jiaping因没带钱而不确定地停顿，“hesitated”意为“犹豫、不确定地停下”。故选C。 3．细节理解题。Jiaping的情绪变化为：与妈妈吵架时生气（angry）→ 得到老板的面条后感激（thankful）→ 听到老板的话后惊讶（shocked）→ 意识到对妈妈的亏欠后后悔（regretful）→ 看到妈妈时感受到爱（loved），选项D符合这一变化。故选D。 4．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，主要讲述了女孩Jiaping与母亲争吵后离家，因饥饿在街边面摊得到陌生摊主的免费帮助（一碗面），后经摊主点醒，意识到应对母亲多年付出心怀感恩，最终回家的故事。因此，B选项“一碗面，一堂感恩课”最适合做文章的标题。故选B。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
