She was on a speaking tour at that time. The Jane Goodall Institute told people about her death. It praised her for changing science and devoting her life to protecting nature. Goodall was born in London in 1934. When she was a child, she loved animals very much. In 1960, when she was 26, she went to Tanzania’s Gombe Stream National Park to study chimpanzees (黑猩猩) and she didn’t even have formal scientific training. Her patience finally brought good results. She became the first person to see chimps make tools. For example, chimps use twigs to “fish” for termites (白蚁). This discovery changed how humans understand animals. Before that, people thought only humans could make tools. In the next 60 years, Goodall’s research found more interesting facts about chimps. They have different personalities; they feel emotions like joy and sadness, and they form strong family connections. Later in her life, she turned her attention to helping protect the environment around the world. She started the Jane Goodall Institute and set up “Roots and Shoots”. It is a program that helps young people take action to protect the environment. Goodall’s influence will live on forever. She has encouraged millions of people around the world, especially young women, to care for nature and wildlife. As she once said, “Hope is the only way to keep going when things seem dark.” 1．What brought her good results? A．Formal scientific training. B．Her patience.

His family was poor — his father was a farmer, and his mother did housework. When Hua was 15, he had to drop out of school because his family couldn’t afford the tuition (学费). But he didn’t stop learning math — he borrowed books from friends and studied on his own. One day, Hua found a mistake in a math book. He wrote a letter to the author, explaining the mistake clearly. The author was surprised — a 19-year-old boy who didn’t finish high school found a mistake in a college textbook! The author invited Hua to study at his university, but Hua refused.

I was about three or four years old. My grandparents bought a personal computer (PC) for their restaurant business. Besides the usual office software, the machine could run some simple games — a pleasure to me at the time. Nearly every Saturday, my parents would go to the restaurant for lunch and I would play on the computer if Grandma wasn’t using it for work. She often encouraged me to play the games while I was there. Years later, my grandparents received another PC from my aunt and they gave it to me. This PC was very different from my grandparents’. I could create software with it. Grandma bought me a book on basic programming. By then, she always made sure that I wasn’t just playing games on my computer. She often got me educational applications (应用) to help me with my studies. Over time, I learned more about how computers work than Grandma did. Sometimes, Grandma would ask for my help when she had computer problems. Since I was busy with my studies, I would sometimes complain about having to spend time fixing her computer. Now I really regret what I did to her. Today, I work for one of Canada’s largest tech companies. Without Grandma, I would never have become so good at programming or got this high-paying job. Last summer, I noticed that Grandma was having problems with her computer after upgrading (升级). Within minutes, I had everything fixed. Unlike me in my teenage years, I didn’t complain, and I will never do that again. 1．What did the writer’s grandparents mainly use the PC for? A．Entertainment. B．Business. C．Education. D．Games. 2．What did Grandma do when the writer got his own computer? A．She helped him create new software. B．She let him use it only for the studies. C．She bought him a book on programming. D．She encouraged him to play more games. 3．In the writer’s teenage years, what would he sometimes do when Grandma had computer problems? A．He would complain about it. B．He would fix it immediately. C．He would ask others for help. D．He would regret helping her. 4．According to the passage, what can we know about Grandma? A．Interested in playing games. B．Good at computer upgrading. C．Helpful to the writer’s studies. D．Annoyed at the writer’s interests. 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．The development of Grandma’s computer skills. B．The importance of having a computer at home. C．The writer’s good relationship with his parents. D．The growth of the writer with Grandma’s help. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文记叙了作者小时候奶奶借电脑、引导他学习编程，年少时帮奶奶修电脑还抱怨，如今从事科技行业，主动耐心帮奶奶解决电脑故障，内心十分懊悔当年不懂事。 【详解】 1．根据第一段 的“My grandparents bought a personal computer (PC) for their restaurant business.”，可知电脑主要用于 “商业”。 2．第三段提到： “Grandma bought me a book on basic programming.”，直接对应选项C。 3．第四段提到：“Since I was busy with my studies, I would sometimes complain about having to spend time fixing her computer.”，可知作者会抱怨。 4．第三段提到： “she often got me educational applications to help me with my studies”，可推断奶奶对作者的学习有帮助。 5．文章围绕 “奶奶通过电脑引导作者、支持作者学习编程，作者最终进入大型科技公司工作，如今主动帮奶奶修电脑” 展开，核心是 “作者在奶奶帮助下的成长”。 Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·广东深圳市广东省龙岗区·期中） Hi there! My name is Seabiscuit. I want to tell you my story. At first, my life was not very exciting. People thought I was lazy. They didn’t think I could be a champion racehorse. I usually lost my races. I was often tired and hungry. I felt like nobody wanted me. But my life changed completely when I met three special men. First, there was Mr Charles Howard. He was a kind and rich man. He decided to buy me. Then, there was Tom Smith. He was my trainer. He was very quiet, but he understood horses perfectly. He knew I had a strong spirit inside. Finally, there was Red Pollard. He became my jockey (骑师) and my best friend. Red was also having a hard time in his life. We understood each other perfectly. Together, we became a team. Tom trained me with patience and kindness. Red talked to me and encouraged me. He never forced me to run. We built trust. For the first time, I felt that someone believed in me. I wanted to run for them. I wanted to win. And we started winning! I surprised everyone. I won race after race. People started to cheer for me. I was no longer the lazy horse. I became a symbol of hope. This was during the Great Depression (大萧条), a time when many people were sad. They saw my story and felt that they could solve their problems, too. Later, Red and I both got hurt. It was a difficult time. But we helped each other get better. Our friendship became even stronger. In my final important race, Red rode me again. We won together, one more time. If you want to know more about me, you can watch the film Seabiscuit. It is well worth watching, especially for junior high three students. 1．Who was Seabiscuit? A．A businessman. B．A jockey. C．A horse. D．A trainer. 2．Why did Seabiscuit and Red know each other perfectly? A．Because Red trained Seabiscuit with great patience. B．Because they both led a difficult life before they met.

We understood each other perfectly”，Red和Seabiscuit都经历过艰难的人生，因此二者能完全理解彼此。 3．第五段说明原因：“They saw my story and felt that they could solve their problems, too”，身处大萧条的人们从它的故事里看到战胜困境的可能，所以它成为希望的象征。 4．梳理全文事件先后：②人们认为Seabiscuit懒惰→③他们组建团队刻苦训练→④Seabiscuit一场接一场赢得比赛→①人们认为Seabiscuit带给他们希望，按故事发展顺序可得出正确排序。 5．通篇讲述Seabiscuit身处低谷不曾放弃、突破自我逆袭夺冠的经历，全文核心传递身处困境永不放弃的精神，对应文章主旨内涵。 主题03 人与自我——个人经历 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·广东省深圳市福田区红岭集团·期中） For as long as I can remember, on the third Saturday of every month, my mother, my brother, and I would volunteer at our local food bank to hand out food. I learned quickly that TV shows don’t show what poverty (贫穷) and hunger are really like in real life. I had been made to believe that hunger only happens in the poorest corners of the world, far from where I live. Unluckily, that is simply not the case. As Feeding America reports, over 47 million people in the US face hunger, including one in every five children. In 2024, I had the chance to visit the Food Bank of the Rio Grande Valley, a member of the Feeding America network, in McAllen, Texas. I worked with some amazing volunteers to give out holiday meals to families in need. This experience impressed me as the most special chance of my life. While other food distribution (分发) experiences are meaningful, they are much more formalized (正规的) with organized lines. However, this experience allowed me to get close to those in need. With each food box we delivered and each “thank you” we heard, I felt connected to the McAllen community in a way that I had never thought possible. Meeting families who were living in small, self-made homes, each with up to ten children and adults, showed me the meaning of resilience (坚韧). Though they were in challenging situations, the children remained joyful and hopeful. I still can’t get it out of my head. There are so many people that spend a lot of time helping others as volunteers. The truth is, there is still so much to be done to end hunger. I hope we all do our best to support organizations like Feeding America that are trying to make a difference in communities all across the country. 1．What did the author realize after she began to volunteer? A．Hunger is a serious problem in the US. B．Hunger happens in the poorest countries. C．Many children in the US are in bad health. D．There are not enough volunteers in the US. 2．What made the author’s 2024 volunteering experience different? A．She learnt a lot from other communities. B．She saw organized lines of volunteers. C．She delivered meals during holidays. D．She got close to people in need. 3．What impressed the author most about the children? A．They had a large family. B．They lived in small houses. C．They were positive about life. D．They faced many challenges. 4．What does the last paragraph mainly tell us? A．The responsibilities of Feeding America. B．The ways to make a difference in communities. C．The need for more volunteers to help fight hunger. D．The success of Feeding America in ending hunger. 5．From which section of a newspaper can we read this article? A．Society. B．History. C．Economy. D．Science. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 4．C 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者参与食品银行志愿活动的经历，通过这些经历，作者对美国的饥饿问题有了深刻认识，也被贫困家庭孩子的坚韧乐观所打动，并呼吁大家支持对抗饥饿的组织。 【详解】 1．细节理解题。根据文章第1段“As Feeding America reports, over 47 million people in the US face hunger, including one in every five children.”可知，作者开始做志愿者后意识到饥饿在美国是一个严重的问题。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第3段“However, this experience allowed me to get close to those in need.”可知，2024年的志愿经历让作者接近了有需要的人，这是其不同之处。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第4段“Though they were in challenging situations, the children remained joyful and hopeful.”可知，孩子们对生活的积极态度给作者留下了最深刻的印象。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。根据文章第5段“The truth is, there is still so much to be done to end hunger.

Then there was Leo. He was a quiet boy who always seemed to be reading books about fish and oceans. His idea was to build a simple water filter using sand, rocks, and a plastic bottle. It sounded interesting, but also very difficult. During the preparation weeks, Mark worked on remembering every fact. Emma made sure her volcano erupted perfectly. But Leo’s project had many problems. His first filter didn’t let water through. His second one broke. The night before the fair, his bottle even cracked. But Leo didn’t see these problems as failures. “Why did it get blocked? Was the sand too thick?” he wondered. He stayed up late in his garage, working quietly. He found a stronger bottle, changed the order of the rocks and sand, and tested it over and over. On the day of the fair, Mark and Emma gave their presentations perfectly. Then it was Leo’s turn. His model looked simple, but when he spoke, his face was full of excitement. He didn’t just show a result; he told the story of his journey— all the mistakes, what he learned from them, and how his filter finally worked. He spoke with true passion. When the judges announced the results, everyone was surprised. The head judge explained why: “It’s great to have knowledge, and it’s impressive to have a perfect model. But what leads to real success is a strong heart—one that isn’t afraid of difficulties, that enjoys finding solutions, and that never gives up. Leo didn’t just build a water filter today. He showed us the very qualities that will help him succeed in life.” That day, all the students learned an important lesson. The biggest wins don’t always go to the smartest or the one with the perfect project, but to the one who is the most determined and loves learning the most. 1．How is the text mainly organized? A．It states a problem and then lists different solutions. B．It compares the different personalities of three students. C．It argues an opinion and then presents events in time order. D．It presents a common belief and then uses a surprising ending. 2．What were the main materials Leo used for his water filter? A．Plastic tubes and chemicals B．Sand, rocks, and a plastic bottle C．Special filter paper and activated charcoal D．A glass container and different types of soil 3．What did Leo do on the night before the science fair after his bottle cracked?

He found a stronger bottle, changed the order of the rocks and sand, and tested it over and over.”可知，在瓶子破裂后，Leo熬夜在车库里寻找解决方案。 3．根据文章内容梳理事件发生的顺序： ④ Everyone thought Mark or Emma would win.发生在故事开头（第一段）。 ① Leo's second filter broke.发生在准备阶段（第二段）。 ③ Leo found a stronger bottle in his garage.发生在瓶子裂开后的那个晚上（第三段）。 ② The judge announced Leo as the winner.发生在展览当天结果公布时（第五段）。 因此，正确的顺序是④-①-③-②。 4．根据第五段首席评委的解释“But what leads to real success is a strong heart—one that isn't afraid of difficulties, that enjoys finding solutions, and that never gives up... He showed us the very qualities that will help him succeed in life.”可知，Leo成功的主要因素是他面对困难时表现出的内在品质（决心、毅力、热爱学习等）。 Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·广东省深圳广东省龙岗区·期中） During the holiday, I went with my parents to visit my grandparents in the countryside. When Grandma said she had been very busy with farm work, I immediately decided to stay overnight at her house. The thought of planting seeds and watering the fields, just like Li Ziqi who makes beautiful videos about country life, made me really excited. That night, I could hardly fall asleep. “Sweetie, time to get up.” Grandma’s soft voice woke me up. I looked at the clock. It was only 5:30 in the morning. I asked, “Grandma, why do we have to get up so early?” “Because the hens just laid their eggs. Now is the best time to collect them,” she explained. The morning air was cool and fresh. But as we walked towards the chicken house, a strong, unpleasant smell came out. I held my breath and followed Grandma closely. She opened a small window and reminded me, “You have to be quick but gentle.” I saw a hen guarding two large eggs. She looked a bit scary. I took a deep breath and slowly reached out my hand. Suddenly, the hen stood up! I let out a small cry but quickly picked up the eggs before she could peck（啄）me. The eggs felt warm in my hands. They were so different from the cold ones we usually take out of the fridge. Later, we watered the vegetables in the fields, picked two pumpkins, and collected a small basket of chilies. By the time Grandma called me for dinner, I was already sound asleep on the sofa. When I finally sat down to enjoy the simple meal, I realized for the first time that every single dish was the fruit of hard work. That day, I had not only helped on the farm but also learned to respect the labour that feeds us. 1．Why did the writer decide to stay overnight? A．Because labour is her holiday homework.

At Post Office Bay, an old wooden barrel (桶) came into view. It is still used as a postbox. Travellers leave letters and take ones they can deliver (派送) themselves. I picked two and handed them over myself. The joy on the receivers’ faces gave me an idea: what if I spent a year travelling the world, passing on letters from that postbox? In March 2024, I began my journey with 55 letters from the Galápagos, planning to visit 52 countries. I avoided using social media, depending only on locals to help me find the receivers’ addresses. At first, I was nervous—knocking on strangers’ doors, unsure what they would think.Most people were surprised but soon became warm and welcoming. Some moments were unforgettable. In Bergen, Norway, I was almost caught by the police when a woman mistook my selfie stick (自拍杆) for a weapon (武器) and called the police. I had to show them my social media to explain. My favourite letter was in Mexico City, from a daughter to her ill mother, thanking her for letting her follow her dreams. Their love reminded me deeply of my own father. When I finished my journey, I held a party in London, and people I’d met from around the world came together. What began as a way to reduce my sadness became a celebration of connection—a reminder that even after loss, love can still find its way home. 1．Why did the writer travel to Galápagos Islands? A．To challenge himself. B．To feel better after a loss. C．To visit some postmen. D．To learn about a new culture. 2．How did the writer send the letters? A．By using social media.

It’s predicted that if the global temperature goes up by 2 degrees Celsius (摄氏度), the average losses of crops will increase a lot, by 3 to 13 percent. This shows that we really need more kinds of crops that can stand the heat to deal with future problems about having enough food. Scientists from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology under the Chinese Academy of Sciences used a new gene-editing tool. They put a heat-shock part into a tomato gene called LIN5. This change makes the gene work better when it’s hot and stops fruits from lacking too much sugar at high temperatures. Tests done in different seasons and places, like greenhouses and open fields, showed that this method made tomato yields (产量) go up by 14 to 47 percent in normal weather and 26 to 33 percent when it was hot. It also stopped 56 to 100 percent of the losses in yield caused by heat, according to a study that came out recently in the magazine Cell. What’s more, the team’s test on rice showed that this genetic engineering way can increase rice production by 7 to 13 percent in normal conditions and by 25 percent when it’s hot. It can also cut down 41 percent of the losses in yield because of high temperatures. These tests have really helped crops get better at dealing with climate change and started a new time of designing crops that can give a lot of yield and stay stable even with the changing climate, the researchers said. 1．Why is it important to grow crops that can get used to climate change? A．Because it can reduce the cost of growing crops. B．Because it can make the crops grow fast and look more beautiful. C．Because global temperatures are rising and it helps ensure future food security. D．Because it can make farmers have more free time and make it easier for them to grow crops. 2．What did Chinese scientists do to improve crop productivity in high temperatures? A．They changed the color of the crops. B．They used a new gene-editing tool. C．They found new areas to plant crops. D．They watered the crops more often. 3．What does “it” refer to in paragraph 3? A．The team’s test on rice. B．The high temperatures C．The genetic engineering way. D．Greenhouses and open fields. 4．Which part of a magazine is this passage from? A．Entertainment B．Culture C．Business D．Technology 5．What is the writer’s attitude to the tests? A．Positive B．Negative C．Doubtful. D．Critical. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．D 5．A 【导语】本文介绍全球升温会造成农作物减产，中国科学家利用新型基因编辑技术改良番茄和水稻基因，提升高温环境下的作物产量，助力应对气候变化、保障粮食安全。 【详解】 1．根据第一段 “It’s predicted that if the global temperature goes up by 2 degrees Celsius, the average losses of crops will increase a lot... This shows that we really need more kinds of crops that can stand the heat to deal with future problems about having enough food.” 可知，培育适应气候变化的作物是因为全球气温升高，此举能保障未来粮食供应安全。 2．根据第二段 “Scientists from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology under the Chinese Academy of Sciences used a new gene-editing tool.” 可知，中国科学家使用了一种新型基因编辑工具来提升高温下的作物产量。 3．根据第三段 “What’s more, the team’s test on rice showed that this genetic engineering way can increase rice production by 7 to 13 percent in normal conditions and by 25 percent when it’s hot. It can also cut down 41 percent of the losses in yield because of high temperatures.” 可知，it指代前文出现的this genetic engineering way。 4．全文围绕基因编辑、作物基因改良、农业增产新技术展开，属于科技类内容，因此文章出自科技板块Technology。 5．根据最后一段 “These tests have really helped crops get better at dealing with climate change and started a new time of designing crops that can give a lot of yield and stay stable even with the changing climate”，作者夸赞这项试验带来巨大积极作用，能开启作物培育新时代，可见作者对此持积极、肯定的Positive态度。 Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·广东省深圳市高级中学·期中） “Look in my eyes!

They’re also changing the way we connect with neighbors. Many people in cities feel lonely and disconnected from those living around them. But thanks to some creative inventions, communities around the world are becoming warmer and warmer. One such inventor, Li Ming, has turned this challenge into an opportunity to bring people together. Li Ming, a 35-year-old engineer from Chengdu, found that neighbors seldom talked to each other. Encouraged by community-building campaigns(社区创建活动), he created a simple digital platform called “neighbor Link”. This easy-to-use app works like an online notice board. People can share skills, organize activities, and ask for help on it. They can also plan events like festival celebrations or skill-sharing classes, and help each other with daily tasks such as looking after pets or picking up packages(快递). In addition, the app is also designed for users of all ages. It has large fonts(字体) and clear icons(图标). People can also use voice to tell it what to do. In just six months, more than 80% of people in Li Ming’s community have joined the app. Now neighbors often eat together, share their skills, and help those in need. An elderly resident, Grandma Wang, said: “I used to stay home alone every day. Now I’ve found friends to dance with every afternoon!” Li Ming’s story shows that technology doesn’t need to be complicated(复杂的) to make a difference. When we pay attention to people’s needs and create simple, practical solutions, we can also be creative inventors. True creativity comes from the heart, and everyone has the power to be an inventor in their own community. 1．Which of the following can people do through “neighbor Link”? ①Share skills with neighbors.    ②Organize festival celebrations. ③Ask for help with picking up packages.    ④Design another app. A．①②③ B．①②④ C．①③④ D．②③④ 2．Which word can best be used to describe the app?

To achieve true success, it’s necessary to use effective methods and keep a positive attitude. Here are three useful ways to help you learn better. Review with Space Don’t study everything at once. If you do, you may forget it quickly. A more scientific way is to review what you learn again and again, with breaks in between. For example, you can review English words you learned after school, then again the next day, a few days later, and finally a week after that. This method works with your brain’s natural “forgetting curve(遗忘曲线)”. It helps to move knowledge from your short-term memory into long-term storage(储存). It’s a more useful way to save your time and help you remember what you’ ve learned. Learn by Thinking-Even Silently Passively(被动地)reading your notes is not enough. A research led by Professor Yang Chunliang at Beijing Normal University shows that “silent retrieval” is surprisingly useful. That is to say, simply thinking about what you’ve learned without writing or speaking is useful. After studying, close your book and try to think about main ideas, recall(回忆) key points or answer questions silently. This helps you understand better and use knowledge in real life. Believe You Can Improve Your attitude matters. Believe that you can get better if you try. Science shows that your brain can grow stronger when you face difficulties. Instead of seeing challenges and mistakes as failures, view them as valuable chances to learn and grow. If something is hard, ask for help or practice more. Set small goals and give yourself a small gift when you make little progress. This keeps you going and being confident. 1．How will the “Review with Space” method help with people’s study according to the passage? A．It helps people remember knowledge for a long time. B．It helps people remember only English words effectively. C．It helps people learn more new knowledge in a short time. D．It allows people to finish homework without any difficulty. 2．The underlined phrase “silent retrieval” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________. A．reading notes aloud to remember them B．asking teachers for help silently C．writing down key points secretly D．thinking about learned knowledge silently 3．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A．Passive reading is enough to understand knowledge well. B．Your brain can’t grow stronger when facing difficulties. C．You shouldn’t give yourself gifts even if you make progress. D．The “Review with Space” method follows the brain’s forgetting curve. 4．What can we infer from the passage? A．Effective learning only depends on hard work. B．Making mistakes means you will never succeed in learning. C．Students who use the right methods may learn more efficiently. D．Short-term memory is more important than long-term memory. 5．What does the passage mainly talk about? A．Learning by thinking silently. B．Three effective ways to help students learn better. C．Why students should avoid passive reading. D．How to set small goals in daily study. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．D 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了三种帮助学生更好学习的有效方法。 1．细节理解题。根据“This method works with your brain’s natural ‘forgetting curve’.

However, a study published in June 2025 showed that this is not always the case. Although it sounds impossible, the study has found that many creative people had difficult childhoods. In fact, many well-known artists developed their special talents because of their difficult childhood experiences. They always used art as a way to stay away from pain, creating imaginary worlds so they could express themselves freely. Famous examples include artistic geniuses like Vincent van Gogh and Franz Kafka. All of them suffered in childhood and went on to develop great artistic talents. Psychologists explain that there are two main ways creativity develops. One is the positive inspiration (正向激励). When children have caring parents, they learn from their positive behavior and grow confidently. The other is coping creativity. When children feel no one cares about them, they might use drawing, writing, or music to ease themselves. Interestingly, challenges can actually increase creativity, but not enough caring contributes to worries. Research shows early childhood experiences shape creativity patterns and that some challenge helps shape creativity, but too much challenge harms people’s social skills. Modern life creates new challenges. With parents working longer hours and greater competition in learning, many children spend more time alone indoors. This leads to problems such as anxiety (焦虑) and poor social skills. To solve these problems, schools can help by offering art and music programs, training teachers to notice creative students and providing advice for children with problems. The most important lesson is balance (平衡). While challenges can produce creativity, love and support are more important. As one expert says, “Creativity grows best when children feel safe enough to discover but supported enough to take challenges.” Parents and teachers should encourage children’s talents while making sure they feel valued and understood. 1．What does Paragraph 2 tell us about art? A．It is often loved by children living a difficult life. B．It helps some children feel less pain and more freedom. C．It allows children to draw a world without thinking much. D．It requires children to have creativity and rich imagination. 2．What does the underlined word “ease” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Trust. B．Beat. C．Annoy. D．Comfort. 3．What is the relationship between challenges and creativity according to the passage? A．Challenges only improve social skills, not creativity. B．The more challenges a child faces, the more creative they will become. C．Some challenge helps develop creativity, but too much can be harmful. D．Challenges don’t have connection to the development of creativity at all. 4．How does the writer organize Paragraph 5? A．By raising a question and then giving it answers. B．By showing a fact and then proving it with numbers. C．By giving an opinion and then supporting it with examples. D．By describing problems and then giving methods of solving them. 5．What does the writer suggest in the passage? A．Children should be protected and respected. B．Parents and teachers should be encouraged first. C．Children should learn to deal with problems themselves. D．It’s easy to keep a balance between freedom and guidance. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．D 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章主要探讨了儿童创造力的发展与环境的关系，指出挑战和关爱对创造力的双重影响，并强调平衡的重要性。 【详解】 1．细节理解题。根据“They always used art as a way to stay away from pain, creating imaginary worlds so they could express themselves freely.”可知，艺术帮助一些儿童减轻痛苦并感受自由。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据“When children feel no one cares about them, they might use drawing, writing, or music to ease themselves.”可知，当孩子感到无人关心时，他们可能通过绘画、写作或音乐来……自己，结合上下文可推测出，“ease”应指“缓解情绪”或“安慰”。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据“some challenge helps shape creativity, but too much challenge harms people’s social skills.”可知，挑战与创造力的关系是适度的挑战有益，过量则有害。故选C。 4．推理判断题。通读第5段可知，第5段先描述现代生活带来的问题（如焦虑和社交能力差），随后提出解决方法（学校提供艺术课程、教师培训等），属于“描述问题+提出解决方案”的结构。故选D。 5．推理判断题。根据“Parents and teachers should encourage children’s talents while making sure they feel valued and understood.”可知，家长和老师应鼓励孩子的才能，同时确保他们感到被重视和理解，故可推测出，作者建议保护并尊重儿童。故选A。 主题06 人与社会——社会问题与现象 Passage1 （25-26九年级上·广东省深圳市南山外国语初级中学·期中） A blind box keeps what’s inside a secret. Usually, there are toys in blind boxes, but now stores are putting food in them. They are “leftover (剩菜) blind boxes”. Many people in China have fallen in love with it. In each box, the food is nearly past the best-before date. “We pack products such as milk, bread, cake, and sandwiches in blind boxes, and sell these boxes at half price. For example, a blind box sold in our store costs 15.9 yuan. Inside, there are three kinds of bread that should cost 45 yuan. We usually start to sell blind boxes at 7 p.m. every day,” Wu Tian, who owns a convenience store in Beijing, said. Some of WeChat’s mini programs also help sell the food. People often check and buy leftover blind boxes on them. It’s reported that one-third of the world’s food is wasted every year, reaching around 1.3 billion tons in 2023. A person may waste about 93 grams of food each meal. The leftover blind boxes may help with this problem. According to the mini program Xishi Magic Bag, more than 27,000 pieces of bread were sold within a month, or else the food would be thrown away. “Leftover blind boxes, as a new way of business, have a bright future. More and more people like the leftover blind boxes because they help reduce food waste and save money,” said Hong Yong, an expert on business. “Therefore, they are popular with customers.” Although the idea of leftover blind boxes is creative, more rules need to be set to make it more successful. 1．According to Paragraph 1, what is true about the food in a “leftover blind box”? A．A secret toy inside the food. B．Freshly cooked delicious food. C．Food near its best-before date.

With International Museum Day coming up, today we are asking readers: Should museums be free or should people have to pay for a ticket? Let us know your view. ◆Comments: Abbey Aged 15, USA Museums are not just for fun; they also help us learn a lot. That’s why they should be free to enter. Running museums costs a lot of money, but the wealthy can help pay for it. It’s not fair if someone who loves art can’t see it just because they can’t afford the ticket. comments Florence Aged 17, Australia Museums teach people about their past. This is part of our shared culture that should be available to everyone. Rich or poor people should never be asked to pay an entrance fee. comments Kevin Aged 16, UK There are no simple answers. Low ticket prices could help museums stay open. But companies and businessmen should also provide museums with more support. They have a social responsibility too. comments Lilly Aged 15, China I suppose that museums and art galleries should all be free to the public. I do, however, think twice a year the museums should organize money-raising events to help pay for the cost of staying open. comments Jerry Aged 14, France Free entry might not make people want to visit. Usually, people value things more if they are hard or expensive to get.

People used to spend more time with their family members before. Nowadays, with children (and the parents, too) spending more time texting, playing video games on smart phones, when will the family find time to bond (培养感情) and create lasting memories together? By the end of a long day at work or school, members of the family want to relax. And now technology use is widespread (普遍的) across the country, normally our “relaxing” is also known as spending time on smart phones. Not only is the amount of family time affected by technology, but also the quality. Technology can affect the quality in different ways. For example, family members can be distracted (分心的) by their phones while having dinner together. If “family time” means everyone sitting in the same room while playing online, what value is there? Personal communication is key to time well spent with loved ones. Families don’t even need to have something special to do while together. If they simply ask each other how their day is and simply have a nice dinner together, family bonds will get better. When technology becomes a focus, quality time for families goes down, which affects everyone’s life. Lack of family communication causes the family’s unity to weaken, and each of the family will be influenced in different ways. Children are more likely to develop unhealthy habits when they fail to communicate with their parents. Meanwhile, parents who put work before family or pay less attention to their children’s growth are more likely to face bad parent-child relationship. Sixty-seven percent of American teens say they want to spend more time with their parents, which is rather sad. Therefore, this passage is meant to show how technology has influenced families badly. 1．What is the biggest influence that technology has on family time? A．It brings families closer easily. B．It provides more choices to play together. C．It changes the way families spend time together. D．It increases the time families spend together. 2．What do members of the family usually do to relax by the end of a day according to Paragraph 2? A．Eat dinner together. B．Listen to radio programs. C．Spend time on smart phones. D．Play a board game together. 3．According to Paragraph 3, we can know that technology ________. A．makes us put work before family B．affects the quality of family time C．brings us convenience and happiness D．brings us more development 4．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4? A．Simple games are helpful for family bonds. B．Families don’t need to do anything together. C．Personal communication is important for family time. D．Staying in the same room is necessary for family. 5．What’s the writer’s attitude (态度) towards the influence of technology? A．Agreeable. B．Worried. C．Surprised. D．Satisfied. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．B 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了科技对家庭相处时间产生的不良影响，分析了其带来的变化以及对家庭关系的负面影响。 1．细节理解题。根据“The biggest influence that technology has on family time is the way it changes how families spend time together.”可知，科技对家庭时间最大的影响在于它改变了家庭成员共同度过时间的方式。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“By the end of a long day at work or school, members of the family want to relax. And now technology use is widespread across the country, normally our ‘relaxing’ is also known as spending time on smart phones.”可知，通常我们的“放松”就是花时间在智能手机上。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“Not only is the amount of family time affected by technology, but also the quality.

Isn’t it amazing? This might be possible someday. Now, researchers are exploring whether this plant could one day grow out of Earth. The project led by a British University shows that tea plants might grow in lunar soil, making it possible for astronauts to provide food for themselves while living and working on the moon in the future. Scientists planted tea in special soil that is similar to what is found on the Moon and on Mars.The conditions were carefully controlled, from temperature and wetness to lighting. Over several weeks, the lunar group thrived, performing as well as those grown in Earth soil. However, the plants failed to grow in Martian(火星的) soil. The ability to grow food on the Moon is important for long-term space tasks. Sending large amounts of food from Earth is expensive and challenging. Growing fresh crops locally would reduce dependence on food sent from the Earth, and also provide more food choices and support astronaut health. The tea experiment shows that even fragile (容易受伤的) crops, like tea, can grow in lunar soil.Future studies may conduct experiments on different crops such as grains and vegetables, which offer more complete nutrition (营养). If successful, astronauts may finally have balanced diets by using lunar soil. The research is not only about supporting space travel. This could also be good news for farmers finding it difficult to grow crops in poor soil. Climate change and over-farming have caused soil quality to get worse worldwide. Lessons learned from growing tea in Moon-similar soil may one day offer more practical solutions. 1．How does the author introduce the topic? A．By listing the problems of space travel. B．By introducing a scientific research project. C．By describing a picture and asking a question. D．By comparing Earth and Moon environments. 2．What does the underlined word “thrived” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Became strong and healthy. B．Stopped growing completely. C．Depended heavily on wetness. D．Needed lighting to stay healthy. 3．Why is growing food on the Moon important for long- term space missions? A．It offers astronauts much more food choices. B．Its main purpose is to improve farming on Earth. C．It can completely end the need for food from Earth.

Land that was once covered in sand and almost lifeless now has rows of shiny black solar panels (太阳能板) stretching as far as the eye can see. These are not just solar panels—they are part of China’s plan to turn deserts into energy factories. In Inner Mongolia, a project called the Solar Great Wall covers a large area of desert. It aims to produce enough electricity to light up several major cities in eastern China by 2030. But these panels turn out to do more than producing power. The shadow they provide has slowed down water evaporation, allowing plants like grass to grow in the desert. Over the past five years, the area that was 98% sand now has up to 80% plant coverage. This not only stops sandstorms but also creates habitats for animals like goats and birds. Meanwhile, in the high mountains of Qinghai, herders (牧民) also benefit from solar panels. Standing 1.2 metres high, they act like huge umbrellas. The shadow they provide protects the sheep from the burning heat in summer, while the space under the panels grows fresh grass. This harmonious mixture of traditional herding and modern technology allows herders to sell wool and electricity as well, with many nearly doubling their income. This success is not just local. Chinese companies are sharing their ideas worldwide. In Argentina, a solar farm built with China’s help now provides power for 100,000 homes and brings in money for local farmers. In Saudi Arabia, plans are in progress to build solar farms in deserts using methods developed in China. Even African nations like Namibia are practicing Chinese solar technology to reduce their dependence on fossil fuels like coal and oil. From deserts to farms, China’s solar revolution offers a possibility of sustainable (可持续的) development. As the sun sets over the Gobi Desert, the panels continue their quiet work—a reminder that the future of energy might just be written in sunlight and sand. 1．How does the author introduce the topic? A．By telling a story. B．By giving a definition. C．By listing numbers. D．By describing a scene. 2．What is the purpose of the Solar Great Wall? A．Covering the desert. B．Producing green energy. C．Reducing water loss. D．Protecting desert animals. 3．What has been achieved by using solar panels in Qinghai? A．Herders there have earned more money than before. B．Grass under the panels has grown to 1.2 metres high. C．The sheep have got more sunshine in high mountains. D．The production of wool has nearly doubled in the area. 4．Why does the author mention China’s help to other countries in paragraph 4? A．To criticize the use of fossil fuels worldwide. B．To doubt the effectiveness of the local success. C．To show the technology’s use around the world. D．To admit the common efforts by other countries. 5．Which is the best title for the article? A．Turning deserts into green forests. B．Fighting sandstorms with sunlight. C．Solar revolution: experience of China. D．Sunlight and sand: stories of the desert. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 4．C 5．C 【导语】本文主要讲述了中国在沙漠中利用太阳能板进行能源生产，不仅在国内取得了成功，还向世界分享经验，中国的太阳能革命为可持续发展提供了可能性。 【详解】 1．推理判断题。根据“In the dry deserts in northwest China, something amazing is happening.

This special event showed China’s leading role in robot technology. Twenty robots joined in, but only six finished. The winner, “Tiangong”, was 1.8 meters tall and finished in 2 hours and 40 minutes. Scientists used this race to test how robots work in real places like streets, not only in labs. Beyond competitions, these robots now solve real problems across China. For example, a power line robot can work in very hot or cold places (-40℃ to 80℃) where humans cannot go safely. Now, robot development is growing fast: over 50 Chinese companies received more than 6 billion yuan in financial support this spring, showing strong confidence in this technology! Global and Chinese companies are racing to develop robots, but there are still challenges. Both Chinese and global companies like Xpeng, BYD, Tesla, and Huawei are building robots. However, experts say that factory robots for simple tasks may come soon, while it will take many more years for home robots to handle difficult housework. Robots with wheels move easily, but humanoid robots still find it hard to walk or climb stairs.

Really “outside”. Walking from the car into the mall doesn’t count. Now think about how much time you spent indoors—on the Internet or playing video games or watching TV. You may say, “I play inside more than outside and I like to play games on the computer.” If so, it’s likely that you spent more time inside four walls than outside in fresh air. Kids today spend two fewer hours per week on sports and outdoor activities than kids did 20 years ago. That’s according to a University of Michigan study. Non-moving activities are more popular. The costs “include overweight, greater stress, higher rates of physical and emotional illness and less joy, …” says Richard Louv, writer of Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder: Play is important, even for adults. _________ Outdoor activity betters your senses. The next time you sit down to message your friends, take note of your senses during and after your texting. Then do the same experiment after you’ve done something outside. You will find being outdoors brings the senses to life. “Hiking, exploring, and fishing help hone all of your senses,” says Betsy Keller. She’s a professor of exercise and sports sciences at Ithaca College in New York. “Smell, sight … all of your senses are in use when you’re outside.” Outdoor play frees your mind. Are you stressed out? Having trouble devoting your mind to what you’re doing? Too much time indoors— away from the natural world—may be a cause. Louv uses a term to describe the set of problems caused by too much time indoors: nature deficit disorder. He says, “I use it to describe the price we pay for being so separated from nature.” Spending time outdoors brings you closer to the environment. When you’re out, breathe in fresh air, hear the leaves crackle underfoot and search for cool birds and plants in the woods. It can help you feel more connected to the natural world. No woods nearby? Nature can be found right outside your back door or in your local park. So the next time you sit down to spend quality (高质量的) time with a video game, consider treating yourself to a little outdoor play instead. 1．How does the writer first introduce the topic of outdoor play? A．By showing the results of a recent study. B．By introducing different kinds of outdoor play. C．By inviting the reader to think about his or her own case. D．By telling the reader outdoor play is good for body and mind. 2．According to the passage, what can be one of the results of spending more time indoors? A．Improving eyesight. B．Reducing stress level. C．Getting better social skills. D．Increasing risk of physical illness. 3．Which sentence can be put in the blank in Paragraph 5? A．Just getting outdoors does wonders. B．Outdoor play helps to build relationships. C．Nature can remind us of life beyond our worries. D．The outdoors is the best place to practise physical skills. 4．Which word is closest to the meaning of “hone” in paragraph 6? A．improve B．limit C．produce D．organize 5．Which of the following is a good way to enjoy outdoor play? A．Walking from your car into the mall. B．Spending your quality time with TV drama series. C．Playing a video game of making sandcastles by the beach. D．Watching in your local park how fast the clouds are moving. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．A 4．A 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章先引导读者反思自身室内外活动时间，结合密歇根大学研究指出如今孩子户外活动时间减少，接着引用专家观点说明久坐室内的危害，再从“提升感官、解放思维、亲近环境”三方面论证户外活动的好处，最后呼吁人们用户外活动替代部分室内娱乐。 【详解】 1．推理判断题。根据“Think about how much time you spent outside last week. Really ‘outside’. Walking from the car into the mall doesn’t count. Now think about how much time you spent indoors—on the Internet or playing video games or watching TV”可知，作者通过邀请读者思考自身上周的室内外活动时间引入 “户外活动” 主题。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据文章中Richard Louv的表述“The costs ‘include overweight, greater stress, higher rates of physical and emotional illness and less joy, …’”可知，长时间待在室内的代价之一是“更高的身体和情绪疾病发生率”，即增加身体患病风险。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据“Outdoor activity betters your senses”，“Outdoor play frees your mind”，“Spending time outdoors brings you closer to the environment”可知，这三段均围绕户外活动的好处展开，空格处需总起该部分内容，结合前文“Play is important, even for adults”，“Just getting outdoors does wonders”能衔接上下文并概括户外活动的积极作用。故选A。 4．词句猜测题。根据“Hiking, exploring, and fishing help hone all of your senses”及后文“Smell, sight … all of your senses are in use when you’re outside”可知，徒步、探索等户外活动能让感官得到运用，进而提升感官能力，hone在此处意为“提升、磨练”，与improve含义最接近。故选A。 5．细节理解题。根据“Nature can be found right outside your back door or in your local park”可知，在当地公园观察云朵移动是接触自然的户外活动，属于享受户外活动的好方式。故选D。 主题03 人与社会——文化 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·广东省深圳市福田区红岭集团·期中） Long ago, in ancient China, there was a story about the invention of silk. People believed that silk was first invented by Leizu, the wife of the Yellow Emperor. Leizu learned how to make cocoons (蚕茧) into soft and strong cloth—silk, and it was called “China’s Gold”. Following kings’ orders, the Chinese kept the secret of making silk for centuries. But something amazing happened. During the Han Dynasty, the brave officer Zhang Qian travelled west as far as Central Asia and brought silk there. As years passed, silk became so important that the trade road from China to Europe got its name—the Silk Road. From China, people sold silk and tea. In return, they received treasures such as spices (香料), gold and silver from the West. At the very beginning, it was mainly about trade; then people began to share ideas, technologies and cultures. For example, Chinese inventions like paper-making were spread to the West, while new ideas about math and science came to China. Most importantly, the Silk Road helped different cultures learn from each other. Art, music and even language were shared along this ancient road. In places like the Dunhuang Grottoes (敦煌石窟) in China, you can see how art pieces combined Eastern and Western styles into something distinctive. It cannot be seen anywhere else. The story of the Silk Road tells us how people from faraway lands could become friends through trade and shared ideas. Today, we remember the Silk Road as one of the greatest examples of cooperation (合作) and exchange in history. It shows us how important it is to learn about and respect each other’s traditions, and that different cultures can work together to create amazing things. 1．Who invented silk in ancient China?

She was on a speaking tour at that time. The Jane Goodall Institute told people about her death. It praised her for changing science and devoting her life to protecting nature. Goodall was born in London in 1934. When she was a child, she loved animals very much. In 1960, when she was 26, she went to Tanzania’s Gombe Stream National Park to study chimpanzees (黑猩猩) and she didn’t even have formal scientific training. Her patience finally brought good results. She became the first person to see chimps make tools. For example, chimps use twigs to “fish” for termites (白蚁). This discovery changed how humans understand animals. Before that, people thought only humans could make tools. In the next 60 years, Goodall’s research found more interesting facts about chimps. They have different personalities; they feel emotions like joy and sadness, and they form strong family connections. Later in her life, she turned her attention to helping protect the environment around the world. She started the Jane Goodall Institute and set up “Roots and Shoots”. It is a program that helps young people take action to protect the environment. Goodall’s influence will live on forever.

He was really surprised. During a live show watched by 5.6 million people, he said again and again, “This is better than a Lamborghini!” People around the world saw that China’s streets are very clean and its transportation is really good. Next, in Beijing, I Show Speed got to know Chinese culture. He wore colorful local clothes. On the Great Wall, he did a backflip and shouted, “This is real history!” He also really liked eating spic y hotpot. His live shows showed busy night markets and how friendly people are in China. People from other countries said, “Chinese cities seem safer than our cities.” I Show Speed talked a lot about how good China’s technology is. When he took the bullet train to Xi’ an, he was amazed because he could use 5G even in tunnels. He said, “In New York, you can’t even send texts on the subway!” His six-hour live show from Shanghai was in very clear 1440p resolution. This showed how advanced (先进的) China’s Internet is. It surprised many people who didn’t believe what they saw in the media before. This cultural exchange started many discussions around the world. Some people thought these scenes were made up. But most people thought his reactions showed what life is really like in China. Chinese officials said this visit was “people-to-people diplomacy”.

I was about three or four years old. My grandparents bought a personal computer (PC) for their restaurant business. Besides the usual office software, the machine could run some simple games — a pleasure to me at the time. Nearly every Saturday, my parents would go to the restaurant for lunch and I would play on the computer if Grandma wasn’t using it for work. She often encouraged me to play the games while I was there. Years later, my grandparents received another PC from my aunt and they gave it to me. This PC was very different from my grandparents’. I could create software with it. Grandma bought me a book on basic programming. By then, she always made sure that I wasn’t just playing games on my computer. She often got me educational applications (应用) to help me with my studies. Over time, I learned more about how computers work than Grandma did. Sometimes, Grandma would ask for my help when she had computer problems. Since I was busy with my studies, I would sometimes complain about having to spend time fixing her computer. Now I really regret what I did to her. Today, I work for one of Canada’s largest tech companies. Without Grandma, I would never have become so good at programming or got this high-paying job. Last summer, I noticed that Grandma was having problems with her computer after upgrading (升级). Within minutes, I had everything fixed. Unlike me in my teenage years, I didn’t complain, and I will never do that again. 1．What did the writer’s grandparents mainly use the PC for? A．Entertainment. B．Business. C．Education.

I learned quickly that TV shows don’t show what poverty (贫穷) and hunger are really like in real life. I had been made to believe that hunger only happens in the poorest corners of the world, far from where I live. Unluckily, that is simply not the case. As Feeding America reports, over 47 million people in the US face hunger, including one in every five children. In 2024, I had the chance to visit the Food Bank of the Rio Grande Valley, a member of the Feeding America network, in McAllen, Texas. I worked with some amazing volunteers to give out holiday meals to families in need. This experience impressed me as the most special chance of my life. While other food distribution (分发) experiences are meaningful, they are much more formalized (正规的) with organized lines. However, this experience allowed me to get close to those in need. With each food box we delivered and each “thank you” we heard, I felt connected to the McAllen community in a way that I had never thought possible. Meeting families who were living in small, self-made homes, each with up to ten children and adults, showed me the meaning of resilience (坚韧). Though they were in challenging situations, the children remained joyful and hopeful. I still can’t get it out of my head. There are so many people that spend a lot of time helping others as volunteers. The truth is, there is still so much to be done to end hunger. I hope we all do our best to support organizations like Feeding America that are trying to make a difference in communities all across the country. 1．What did the author realize after she began to volunteer? A．Hunger is a serious problem in the US. B．Hunger happens in the poorest countries. C．Many children in the US are in bad health. D．There are not enough volunteers in the US. 2．What made the author’s 2024 volunteering experience different? A．She learnt a lot from other communities. B．She saw organized lines of volunteers. C．She delivered meals during holidays. D．She got close to people in need. 3．What impressed the author most about the children? A．They had a large family. B．They lived in small houses. C．They were positive about life. D．They faced many challenges. 4．What does the last paragraph mainly tell us? A．The responsibilities of Feeding America. B．The ways to make a difference in communities. C．The need for more volunteers to help fight hunger. D．The success of Feeding America in ending hunger. 5．From which section of a newspaper can we read this article? A．Society. B．History. C．Economy. D．Science. Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·广东省深圳市龙岗区华附集团·期中） Everyone thought the school science fair winner would be either Mark, who knew all the answers, or Emma, who had built a perfect volcano model. Then there was Leo. He was a quiet boy who always seemed to be reading books about fish and oceans. His idea was to build a simple water filter using sand, rocks, and a plastic bottle. It sounded interesting, but also very difficult. During the preparation weeks, Mark worked on remembering every fact. Emma made sure her volcano erupted perfectly. But Leo’s project had many problems. His first filter didn’t let water through. His second one broke. The night before the fair, his bottle even cracked. But Leo didn’t see these problems as failures. “Why did it get blocked? Was the sand too thick?” he wondered. He stayed up late in his garage, working quietly. He found a stronger bottle, changed the order of the rocks and sand, and tested it over and over. On the day of the fair, Mark and Emma gave their presentations perfectly. Then it was Leo’s turn. His model looked simple, but when he spoke, his face was full of excitement. He didn’t just show a result; he told the story of his journey— all the mistakes, what he learned from them, and how his filter finally worked. He spoke with true passion. When the judges announced the results, everyone was surprised. The head judge explained why: “It’s great to have knowledge, and it’s impressive to have a perfect model. But what leads to real success is a strong heart—one that isn’t afraid of difficulties, that enjoys finding solutions, and that never gives up. Leo didn’t just build a water filter today. He showed us the very qualities that will help him succeed in life.” That day, all the students learned an important lesson. The biggest wins don’t always go to the smartest or the one with the perfect project, but to the one who is the most determined and loves learning the most. 1．How is the text mainly organized? A．It states a problem and then lists different solutions. B．It compares the different personalities of three students. C．It argues an opinion and then presents events in time order. D．It presents a common belief and then uses a surprising ending. 2．What were the main materials Leo used for his water filter? A．Plastic tubes and chemicals B．Sand, rocks, and a plastic bottle C．Special filter paper and activated charcoal D．A glass container and different types of soil 3．What did Leo do on the night before the science fair after his bottle cracked? A．He helped Emma with her volcano model. B．He gave up on his project because of the failure. C．He memorized all the facts about marine biology. D．He stayed up late in his garage working on a solution. 4．What is the correct order of the following events? ① Leo’s second filter broke. ② The judge announced Leo as the winner. ③ Leo found a stronger bottle in his garage. ④ Everyone thought Mark or Emma would win.

C．The inner qualities he shows when facing difficulties. D．Knowing all the answers and giving presentations perfectly. Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·广东省深圳广东省龙岗区·期中） During the holiday, I went with my parents to visit my grandparents in the countryside. When Grandma said she had been very busy with farm work, I immediately decided to stay overnight at her house. The thought of planting seeds and watering the fields, just like Li Ziqi who makes beautiful videos about country life, made me really excited. That night, I could hardly fall asleep. “Sweetie, time to get up.” Grandma’s soft voice woke me up. I looked at the clock. It was only 5:30 in the morning. I asked, “Grandma, why do we have to get up so early?” “Because the hens just laid their eggs. Now is the best time to collect them,” she explained. The morning air was cool and fresh. But as we walked towards the chicken house, a strong, unpleasant smell came out. I held my breath and followed Grandma closely. She opened a small window and reminded me, “You have to be quick but gentle.” I saw a hen guarding two large eggs. She looked a bit scary. I took a deep breath and slowly reached out my hand. Suddenly, the hen stood up! I let out a small cry but quickly picked up the eggs before she could peck（啄）me. The eggs felt warm in my hands. They were so different from the cold ones we usually take out of the fridge. Later, we watered the vegetables in the fields, picked two pumpkins, and collected a small basket of chilies. By the time Grandma called me for dinner, I was already sound asleep on the sofa. When I finally sat down to enjoy the simple meal, I realized for the first time that every single dish was the fruit of hard work. That day, I had not only helped on the farm but also learned to respect the labour that feeds us. 1．Why did the writer decide to stay overnight? A．Because labour is her holiday homework.

Passage 4 （25-26九年级上·广东省深圳市罗湖区·期中） In early 2023, a year after my father’s death, I started a journey to the Galápagos Islands, hoping to feel alive again. At Post Office Bay, an old wooden barrel (桶) came into view. It is still used as a postbox. Travellers leave letters and take ones they can deliver (派送) themselves. I picked two and handed them over myself. The joy on the receivers’ faces gave me an idea: what if I spent a year travelling the world, passing on letters from that postbox? In March 2024, I began my journey with 55 letters from the Galápagos, planning to visit 52 countries. I avoided using social media, depending only on locals to help me find the receivers’ addresses. At first, I was nervous—knocking on strangers’ doors, unsure what they would think.Most people were surprised but soon became warm and welcoming. Some moments were unforgettable. In Bergen, Norway, I was almost caught by the police when a woman mistook my selfie stick (自拍杆) for a weapon (武器) and called the police. I had to show them my social media to explain. My favourite letter was in Mexico City, from a daughter to her ill mother, thanking her for letting her follow her dreams. Their love reminded me deeply of my own father. When I finished my journey, I held a party in London, and people I’d met from around the world came together. What began as a way to reduce my sadness became a celebration of connection—a reminder that even after loss, love can still find its way home. 1．Why did the writer travel to Galápagos Islands?

Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·广东省深圳市龙岗区华附集团·期中） As growing crops that can get used to climate change is becoming more and more important, Chinese scientists have found, in an important study, a new way that can greatly improve crop production when it’s really hot. It’s predicted that if the global temperature goes up by 2 degrees Celsius (摄氏度), the average losses of crops will increase a lot, by 3 to 13 percent. This shows that we really need more kinds of crops that can stand the heat to deal with future problems about having enough food. Scientists from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology under the Chinese Academy of Sciences used a new gene-editing tool. They put a heat-shock part into a tomato gene called LIN5. This change makes the gene work better when it’s hot and stops fruits from lacking too much sugar at high temperatures. Tests done in different seasons and places, like greenhouses and open fields, showed that this method made tomato yields (产量) go up by 14 to 47 percent in normal weather and 26 to 33 percent when it was hot. It also stopped 56 to 100 percent of the losses in yield caused by heat, according to a study that came out recently in the magazine Cell. What’s more, the team’s test on rice showed that this genetic engineering way can increase rice production by 7 to 13 percent in normal conditions and by 25 percent when it’s hot. It can also cut down 41 percent of the losses in yield because of high temperatures. These tests have really helped crops get better at dealing with climate change and started a new time of designing crops that can give a lot of yield and stay stable even with the changing climate, the researchers said. 1．Why is it important to grow crops that can get used to climate change? A．Because it can reduce the cost of growing crops. B．Because it can make the crops grow fast and look more beautiful. C．Because global temperatures are rising and it helps ensure future food security. D．Because it can make farmers have more free time and make it easier for them to grow crops. 2．What did Chinese scientists do to improve crop productivity in high temperatures? A．They changed the color of the crops. B．They used a new gene-editing tool. C．They found new areas to plant crops. D．They watered the crops more often. 3．What does “it” refer to in paragraph 3? A．The team’s test on rice. B．The high temperatures C．The genetic engineering way. D．Greenhouses and open fields. 4．Which part of a magazine is this passage from? A．Entertainment B．Culture C．Business D．Technology 5．What is the writer’s attitude to the tests? A．Positive B．Negative C．Doubtful. D．Critical. Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·广东省深圳市高级中学·期中） “Look in my eyes! Tell me why?” Have you found yourself listening to “ancient people” online recently? Creative vloggers are using AI technology to bring famous people from history “back to life”, like the Tang Dynasty poets Li Bai and Du Fu. These AI-produced videos have become very popular, showing these historical figures speaking in modern language. In one video, Du Fu talks about his experiences, while Ming Dynasty medical expert Li Shizhen jokes about modern life. “The videos let me learn more about important ancient people, such as Wen Zhengming and Tang Bohu. I didn’t know much about their stories before,” said a netizen (网友). This kind of videos also makes people more excited to learn about history and culture. Another netizen shared her changing feelings in a comment under one of the videos: “I used to be totally uninterested in history, but now I sometimes even go to the library to search for more information when some topics really attract me.” However, not everyone enjoys this popular style. Some people feel annoyed by the way these characters speak loudly and ask questions constantly. “They’re different from how they really were,” explained 14-year-old Wang Shutong from Jiangsu. “For example, Wen Zhengming was a polite and modest artist in history. But one video shows him in a completely different way. I think it harms his image in a way.” On one hand, these videos use a more modern way to let ancient people “speak for themselves”. On the other hand, we should remember that they might not be completely true and are sometimes just for fun. 1．What kind of technology do creative vloggers use to recreate ancient people? A．AR technology. B．AI technology. C．VR technology. D．3D printing technology. 2．What did the second netizen do after watching the new kind of history videos? A．She visited the library to look for more information sometimes. B．She started to share her own historical experiences online. C．She began to teach history to other people through the new way.

B．To give different opinions about the new kind of history videos. C．To introduce new ancient figures in the new kind of history videos. D．To explain how the new technology works in making history videos. 4．What is the writer’s attitude towards the new kind of history videos in this passage? A．Supportive. B．Critical (批判的). C．Neutral (中立的). D．Uninterested. 5．What is the structure of the passage? A．①/②③④ B．①/②③/④ C．①/②/③④ D．①②③④ Passage 4 （25-26九年级上·广东省深圳市观澜二中教育集团·期中） In today’s world, technology and inventions are not just for big cities or high-tech companies. They’re also changing the way we connect with neighbors. Many people in cities feel lonely and disconnected from those living around them. But thanks to some creative inventions, communities around the world are becoming warmer and warmer. One such inventor, Li Ming, has turned this challenge into an opportunity to bring people together. Li Ming, a 35-year-old engineer from Chengdu, found that neighbors seldom talked to each other. Encouraged by community-building campaigns(社区创建活动), he created a simple digital platform called “neighbor Link”. This easy-to-use app works like an online notice board. People can share skills, organize activities, and ask for help on it. They can also plan events like festival celebrations or skill-sharing classes, and help each other with daily tasks such as looking after pets or picking up packages(快递). In addition, the app is also designed for users of all ages. It has large fonts(字体) and clear icons(图标). People can also use voice to tell it what to do. In just six months, more than 80% of people in Li Ming’s community have joined the app. Now neighbors often eat together, share their skills, and help those in need. An elderly resident, Grandma Wang, said: “I used to stay home alone every day. Now I’ve found friends to dance with every afternoon!” Li Ming’s story shows that technology doesn’t need to be complicated(复杂的) to make a difference. When we pay attention to people’s needs and create simple, practical solutions, we can also be creative inventors. True creativity comes from the heart, and everyone has the power to be an inventor in their own community. 1．Which of the following can people do through “neighbor Link”? ①Share skills with neighbors.    ②Organize festival celebrations. ③Ask for help with picking up packages.    ④Design another app. A．①②③ B．①②④ C．①③④ D．②③④ 2．Which word can best be used to describe the app? A．Complicated. B．Expensive. C．User-friendly. D．Unpopular. 3．What does the underlined “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．The special voice. B．The skill-sharing task. C．The clear icon. D．The “neighbor Link” platform. 4．From the passage, we can know that ________. A．Grandma Wang feels the app has made her life more colorful B．the app is a paid app that only connects young people in communities C．Li Ming created the app to make money and became famous in Chengdu D．the author thinks that the app is not complicated enough to use 5．What would be the best title for the passage? A．Li Ming: A Rich Businessman in Chengdu B．A Warm App Connecting Communities C．How to Organize Community Activities easily D．The History of Community-Building Campaigns 主题05 人与自我——自我管理与自我提升 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·广东省深圳市观澜二中教育集团·期中） Learning is a key part of every student’s life. To achieve true success, it’s necessary to use effective methods and keep a positive attitude. Here are three useful ways to help you learn better. Review with Space Don’t study everything at once. If you do, you may forget it quickly. A more scientific way is to review what you learn again and again, with breaks in between. For example, you can review English words you learned after school, then again the next day, a few days later, and finally a week after that. This method works with your brain’s natural “forgetting curve(遗忘曲线)”. It helps to move knowledge from your short-term memory into long-term storage(储存). It’s a more useful way to save your time and help you remember what you’ ve learned. Learn by Thinking-Even Silently Passively(被动地)reading your notes is not enough. A research led by Professor Yang Chunliang at Beijing Normal University shows that “silent retrieval” is surprisingly useful. That is to say, simply thinking about what you’ve learned without writing or speaking is useful. After studying, close your book and try to think about main ideas, recall(回忆) key points or answer questions silently. This helps you understand better and use knowledge in real life. Believe You Can Improve Your attitude matters. Believe that you can get better if you try. Science shows that your brain can grow stronger when you face difficulties. Instead of seeing challenges and mistakes as failures, view them as valuable chances to learn and grow. If something is hard, ask for help or practice more. Set small goals and give yourself a small gift when you make little progress. This keeps you going and being confident. 1．How will the “Review with Space” method help with people’s study according to the passage? A．It helps people remember knowledge for a long time. B．It helps people remember only English words effectively. C．It helps people learn more new knowledge in a short time. D．It allows people to finish homework without any difficulty. 2．The underlined phrase “silent retrieval” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.

However, a study published in June 2025 showed that this is not always the case. Although it sounds impossible, the study has found that many creative people had difficult childhoods. In fact, many well-known artists developed their special talents because of their difficult childhood experiences. They always used art as a way to stay away from pain, creating imaginary worlds so they could express themselves freely. Famous examples include artistic geniuses like Vincent van Gogh and Franz Kafka. All of them suffered in childhood and went on to develop great artistic talents. Psychologists explain that there are two main ways creativity develops. One is the positive inspiration (正向激励). When children have caring parents, they learn from their positive behavior and grow confidently. The other is coping creativity. When children feel no one cares about them, they might use drawing, writing, or music to ease themselves. Interestingly, challenges can actually increase creativity, but not enough caring contributes to worries. Research shows early childhood experiences shape creativity patterns and that some challenge helps shape creativity, but too much challenge harms people’s social skills. Modern life creates new challenges. With parents working longer hours and greater competition in learning, many children spend more time alone indoors. This leads to problems such as anxiety (焦虑) and poor social skills. To solve these problems, schools can help by offering art and music programs, training teachers to notice creative students and providing advice for children with problems. The most important lesson is balance (平衡). While challenges can produce creativity, love and support are more important. As one expert says, “Creativity grows best when children feel safe enough to discover but supported enough to take challenges.” Parents and teachers should encourage children’s talents while making sure they feel valued and understood. 1．What does Paragraph 2 tell us about art? A．It is often loved by children living a difficult life. B．It helps some children feel less pain and more freedom. C．It allows children to draw a world without thinking much. D．It requires children to have creativity and rich imagination. 2．What does the underlined word “ease” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Trust. B．Beat. C．Annoy. D．Comfort. 3．What is the relationship between challenges and creativity according to the passage? A．Challenges only improve social skills, not creativity. B．The more challenges a child faces, the more creative they will become. C．Some challenge helps develop creativity, but too much can be harmful. D．Challenges don’t have connection to the development of creativity at all. 4．How does the writer organize Paragraph 5? A．By raising a question and then giving it answers. B．By showing a fact and then proving it with numbers. C．By giving an opinion and then supporting it with examples. D．By describing problems and then giving methods of solving them. 5．What does the writer suggest in the passage? A．Children should be protected and respected. B．Parents and teachers should be encouraged first. C．Children should learn to deal with problems themselves. D．It’s easy to keep a balance between freedom and guidance. 主题06 人与社会——社会问题与现象 Passage1 （25-26九年级上·广东省深圳市南山外国语初级中学·期中） A blind box keeps what’s inside a secret. Usually, there are toys in blind boxes, but now stores are putting food in them. They are “leftover (剩菜) blind boxes”. Many people in China have fallen in love with it. In each box, the food is nearly past the best-before date. “We pack products such as milk, bread, cake, and sandwiches in blind boxes, and sell these boxes at half price. For example, a blind box sold in our store costs 15.9 yuan. Inside, there are three kinds of bread that should cost 45 yuan. We usually start to sell blind boxes at 7 p.m. every day,” Wu Tian, who owns a convenience store in Beijing, said. Some of WeChat’s mini programs also help sell the food. People often check and buy leftover blind boxes on them. It’s reported that one-third of the world’s food is wasted every year, reaching around 1.3 billion tons in 2023. A person may waste about 93 grams of food each meal. The leftover blind boxes may help with this problem. According to the mini program Xishi Magic Bag, more than 27,000 pieces of bread were sold within a month, or else the food would be thrown away. “Leftover blind boxes, as a new way of business, have a bright future. More and more people like the leftover blind boxes because they help reduce food waste and save money,” said Hong Yong, an expert on business. “Therefore, they are popular with customers.” Although the idea of leftover blind boxes is creative, more rules need to be set to make it more successful. 1．According to Paragraph 1, what is true about the food in a “leftover blind box”?

These dramas have been on the rise over the past few years. In 2023, micro-dramas made 37.39 billion yuan, equal to 70 percent of the money made by China’s film industry, reported China Daily on Sept 27. Chinese micro-dramas are also going strong around the world. Sensor Tower, a US company, said that over 40 apps for watching the dramas have entered the global market. By early 2024, these apps already had around 55 million downloads. One of them, Reel Short, has been downloaded more times than Netflix on the Apple Store in the US, reported Reuters. International viewers find these micro-dramas exciting to watch, reported Xinhua. The stories are usually fast-paced (快节奏的) and have many surprising turning points. “This keeps people’s attention and makes them fun,” Liu Jinlong, head of the app Short TV, told Xinhua. The short length of the dramas adds to their popularity. Each episode (集) usually lasts for less than two minutes. People can finish a micro-drama in short periods of time. Also, most micro-dramas are filmed vertically (竖向地). This allows people to watch them without having to turn their phone screens. However, one challenge to be addressed is that many of them have similar themes. “The dramas should cover more topics, not just the usual ones like time travel,” Li Jiang, head of Dianzhong Tech, told China Daily. 1．How does the writer explain the popularity of micro-dramas?

HOME NEWS SCHOOL LIFE YOUR VIEW SPORT SEARCH Topic: Should Museum Entry Be Free? With International Museum Day coming up, today we are asking readers: Should museums be free or should people have to pay for a ticket? Let us know your view. ◆Comments: Abbey Aged 15, USA Museums are not just for fun; they also help us learn a lot. That’s why they should be free to enter. Running museums costs a lot of money, but the wealthy can help pay for it. It’s not fair if someone who loves art can’t see it just because they can’t afford the ticket. comments Florence Aged 17, Australia Museums teach people about their past. This is part of our shared culture that should be available to everyone. Rich or poor people should never be asked to pay an entrance fee. comments Kevin Aged 16, UK There are no simple answers. Low ticket prices could help museums stay open. But companies and businessmen should also provide museums with more support. They have a social responsibility too. comments Lilly Aged 15, China I suppose that museums and art galleries should all be free to the public. I do, however, think twice a year the museums should organize money-raising events to help pay for the cost of staying open. comments Jerry Aged 14, France Free entry might not make people want to visit. Usually, people value things more if they are hard or expensive to get. Museums could ask people who visit often to pay, but give free tickets to students who do well in school and can really appreciate the art. comments Click here to leave your comments! 1．According to Abbey, who should pay the fee for running museums?

Passage 4 （25-26九年级上·广东省深圳市福田区红岭集团·期中） The biggest influence that technology has on family time is the way it changes how families spend time together. People used to spend more time with their family members before. Nowadays, with children (and the parents, too) spending more time texting, playing video games on smart phones, when will the family find time to bond (培养感情) and create lasting memories together? By the end of a long day at work or school, members of the family want to relax. And now technology use is widespread (普遍的) across the country, normally our “relaxing” is also known as spending time on smart phones. Not only is the amount of family time affected by technology, but also the quality. Technology can affect the quality in different ways. For example, family members can be distracted (分心的) by their phones while having dinner together. If “family time” means everyone sitting in the same room while playing online, what value is there? Personal communication is key to time well spent with loved ones. Families don’t even need to have something special to do while together. If they simply ask each other how their day is and simply have a nice dinner together, family bonds will get better. When technology becomes a focus, quality time for families goes down, which affects everyone’s life. Lack of family communication causes the family’s unity to weaken, and each of the family will be influenced in different ways. Children are more likely to develop unhealthy habits when they fail to communicate with their parents. Meanwhile, parents who put work before family or pay less attention to their children’s growth are more likely to face bad parent-child relationship. Sixty-seven percent of American teens say they want to spend more time with their parents, which is rather sad. Therefore, this passage is meant to show how technology has influenced families badly. 1．What is the biggest influence that technology has on family time? A．It brings families closer easily. B．It provides more choices to play together. C．It changes the way families spend time together. D．It increases the time families spend together. 2．What do members of the family usually do to relax by the end of a day according to Paragraph 2? A．Eat dinner together. B．Listen to radio programs. C．Spend time on smart phones. D．Play a board game together. 3．According to Paragraph 3, we can know that technology ________. A．makes us put work before family B．affects the quality of family time C．brings us convenience and happiness D．brings us more development 4．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4? A．Simple games are helpful for family bonds. B．Families don’t need to do anything together. C．Personal communication is important for family time. D．Staying in the same room is necessary for family. 5．What’s the writer’s attitude (态度) towards the influence of technology? A．Agreeable. B．Worried. C．Surprised. D．Satisfied. 主题01 人与社会——科技与发展 Passage1 （25-26九年级上·广东省深圳市翠园实验学校·期中） Imagine this picture that astronauts are taking care of tea trees on the Moon. Isn’t it amazing? This might be possible someday. Now, researchers are exploring whether this plant could one day grow out of Earth. The project led by a British University shows that tea plants might grow in lunar soil, making it possible for astronauts to provide food for themselves while living and working on the moon in the future. Scientists planted tea in special soil that is similar to what is found on the Moon and on Mars.The conditions were carefully controlled, from temperature and wetness to lighting. Over several weeks, the lunar group thrived, performing as well as those grown in Earth soil. However, the plants failed to grow in Martian(火星的) soil. The ability to grow food on the Moon is important for long-term space tasks. Sending large amounts of food from Earth is expensive and challenging. Growing fresh crops locally would reduce dependence on food sent from the Earth, and also provide more food choices and support astronaut health. The tea experiment shows that even fragile (容易受伤的) crops, like tea, can grow in lunar soil.Future studies may conduct experiments on different crops such as grains and vegetables, which offer more complete nutrition (营养). If successful, astronauts may finally have balanced diets by using lunar soil. The research is not only about supporting space travel. This could also be good news for farmers finding it difficult to grow crops in poor soil. Climate change and over-farming have caused soil quality to get worse worldwide. Lessons learned from growing tea in Moon-similar soil may one day offer more practical solutions. 1．How does the author introduce the topic? A．By listing the problems of space travel. B．By introducing a scientific research project. C．By describing a picture and asking a question. D．By comparing Earth and Moon environments. 2．What does the underlined word “thrived” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Became strong and healthy. B．Stopped growing completely. C．Depended heavily on wetness. D．Needed lighting to stay healthy. 3．Why is growing food on the Moon important for long- term space missions? A．It offers astronauts much more food choices. B．Its main purpose is to improve farming on Earth. C．It can completely end the need for food from Earth. D．It is difficult and costly to send much food from Earth. 4．What is the future plan for the research according to paragraph 4? A．To have a cup of tea on the Moon. B．To eat grains and vegetables in space. C．To prove a balanced diet is important. D．To test more kinds of food crops for space. 5．What is the last paragraph mainly about? A．A new type of tea has been developed for poor soil. B．Climate change has made space research more popular. C．Pollution is the main reason for soil problems on Earth. D．The research may help solve farming problems on Earth.

Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·广东省深圳外国语学校·期中） In the dry deserts in northwest China, something amazing is happening. Land that was once covered in sand and almost lifeless now has rows of shiny black solar panels (太阳能板) stretching as far as the eye can see. These are not just solar panels—they are part of China’s plan to turn deserts into energy factories. In Inner Mongolia, a project called the Solar Great Wall covers a large area of desert. It aims to produce enough electricity to light up several major cities in eastern China by 2030. But these panels turn out to do more than producing power. The shadow they provide has slowed down water evaporation, allowing plants like grass to grow in the desert. Over the past five years, the area that was 98% sand now has up to 80% plant coverage. This not only stops sandstorms but also creates habitats for animals like goats and birds. Meanwhile, in the high mountains of Qinghai, herders (牧民) also benefit from solar panels. Standing 1.2 metres high, they act like huge umbrellas. The shadow they provide protects the sheep from the burning heat in summer, while the space under the panels grows fresh grass. This harmonious mixture of traditional herding and modern technology allows herders to sell wool and electricity as well, with many nearly doubling their income. This success is not just local. Chinese companies are sharing their ideas worldwide. In Argentina, a solar farm built with China’s help now provides power for 100,000 homes and brings in money for local farmers. In Saudi Arabia, plans are in progress to build solar farms in deserts using methods developed in China. Even African nations like Namibia are practicing Chinese solar technology to reduce their dependence on fossil fuels like coal and oil. From deserts to farms, China’s solar revolution offers a possibility of sustainable (可持续的) development. As the sun sets over the Gobi Desert, the panels continue their quiet work—a reminder that the future of energy might just be written in sunlight and sand. 1．How does the author introduce the topic? A．By telling a story. B．By giving a definition. C．By listing numbers. D．By describing a scene. 2．What is the purpose of the Solar Great Wall? A．Covering the desert. B．Producing green energy.

B．Grass under the panels has grown to 1.2 metres high. C．The sheep have got more sunshine in high mountains. D．The production of wool has nearly doubled in the area. 4．Why does the author mention China’s help to other countries in paragraph 4? A．To criticize the use of fossil fuels worldwide. B．To doubt the effectiveness of the local success. C．To show the technology’s use around the world. D．To admit the common efforts by other countries. 5．Which is the best title for the article? A．Turning deserts into green forests. B．Fighting sandstorms with sunlight. C．Solar revolution: experience of China. D．Sunlight and sand: stories of the desert. Passage 4 （25-26九年级上·广东省深圳市高级中学·期中） On April 19, 2025, Beijing held the world’s first half-marathon (21 km) for humanoid robots (人形机器人). This special event showed China’s leading role in robot technology. Twenty robots joined in, but only six finished. The winner, “Tiangong”, was 1.8 meters tall and finished in 2 hours and 40 minutes. Scientists used this race to test how robots work in real places like streets, not only in labs. Beyond competitions, these robots now solve real problems across China. For example, a power line robot can work in very hot or cold places (-40℃ to 80℃) where humans cannot go safely. Now, robot development is growing fast: over 50 Chinese companies received more than 6 billion yuan in financial support this spring, showing strong confidence in this technology! Global and Chinese companies are racing to develop robots, but there are still challenges. Both Chinese and global companies like Xpeng, BYD, Tesla, and Huawei are building robots. However, experts say that factory robots for simple tasks may come soon, while it will take many more years for home robots to handle difficult housework. Robots with wheels move easily, but humanoid robots still find it hard to walk or climb stairs. The good news is that new AI technology is improving robots’ “brains”, helping them make decisions faster. Someday humanoid robots might deliver packages, help doctors, or even tutor students with homework in China! 1．How many humanoid robots finished the 21-km race? A．Twenty. B．Six. C．Two. D．One. 2．Why did scientists organize the robot marathon? A．To find the fastest robot. B．To test robots’ real-world performance. C．To get money for scientists. D．To show new AI technology. 3．What does “financial support” mean in paragraph 2? A．Money given to companies. B．Help from human workers. C．Robots fixing power lines.

D．Work in extreme cold. 5．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．Beijing robot race winner. B．Money for AI companies. C．Difficulties in making robots. D．China’s progress in robots. 主题02 人与自我——健康与运动 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·广东省深圳实验中学·期中） Think about how much time you spent outside last week. Really “outside”. Walking from the car into the mall doesn’t count. Now think about how much time you spent indoors—on the Internet or playing video games or watching TV. You may say, “I play inside more than outside and I like to play games on the computer.” If so, it’s likely that you spent more time inside four walls than outside in fresh air. Kids today spend two fewer hours per week on sports and outdoor activities than kids did 20 years ago. That’s according to a University of Michigan study. Non-moving activities are more popular. The costs “include overweight, greater stress, higher rates of physical and emotional illness and less joy, …” says Richard Louv, writer of Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder: Play is important, even for adults. _________ Outdoor activity betters your senses. The next time you sit down to message your friends, take note of your senses during and after your texting. Then do the same experiment after you’ve done something outside. You will find being outdoors brings the senses to life. “Hiking, exploring, and fishing help hone all of your senses,” says Betsy Keller. She’s a professor of exercise and sports sciences at Ithaca College in New York. “Smell, sight … all of your senses are in use when you’re outside.” Outdoor play frees your mind. Are you stressed out? Having trouble devoting your mind to what you’re doing? Too much time indoors— away from the natural world—may be a cause. Louv uses a term to describe the set of problems caused by too much time indoors: nature deficit disorder. He says, “I use it to describe the price we pay for being so separated from nature.” Spending time outdoors brings you closer to the environment. When you’re out, breathe in fresh air, hear the leaves crackle underfoot and search for cool birds and plants in the woods. It can help you feel more connected to the natural world. No woods nearby? Nature can be found right outside your back door or in your local park. So the next time you sit down to spend quality (高质量的) time with a video game, consider treating yourself to a little outdoor play instead. 1．How does the writer first introduce the topic of outdoor play? A．By showing the results of a recent study. B．By introducing different kinds of outdoor play. C．By inviting the reader to think about his or her own case. D．By telling the reader outdoor play is good for body and mind. 2．According to the passage, what can be one of the results of spending more time indoors? A．Improving eyesight. B．Reducing stress level. C．Getting better social skills. D．Increasing risk of physical illness. 3．Which sentence can be put in the blank in Paragraph 5? A．Just getting outdoors does wonders. B．Outdoor play helps to build relationships. C．Nature can remind us of life beyond our worries. D．The outdoors is the best place to practise physical skills. 4．Which word is closest to the meaning of “hone” in paragraph 6? A．improve B．limit C．produce D．organize 5．Which of the following is a good way to enjoy outdoor play? A．Walking from your car into the mall. B．Spending your quality time with TV drama series. C．Playing a video game of making sandcastles by the beach. D．Watching in your local park how fast the clouds are moving. 主题03 人与社会——文化 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·广东省深圳市福田区红岭集团·期中） Long ago, in ancient China, there was a story about the invention of silk. People believed that silk was first invented by Leizu, the wife of the Yellow Emperor. Leizu learned how to make cocoons (蚕茧) into soft and strong cloth—silk, and it was called “China’s Gold”. Following kings’ orders, the Chinese kept the secret of making silk for centuries. But something amazing happened. During the Han Dynasty, the brave officer Zhang Qian travelled west as far as Central Asia and brought silk there. As years passed, silk became so important that the trade road from China to Europe got its name—the Silk Road. From China, people sold silk and tea. In return, they received treasures such as spices (香料), gold and silver from the West. At the very beginning, it was mainly about trade; then people began to share ideas, technologies and cultures. For example, Chinese inventions like paper-making were spread to the West, while new ideas about math and science came to China. Most importantly, the Silk Road helped different cultures learn from each other. Art, music and even language were shared along this ancient road. In places like the Dunhuang Grottoes (敦煌石窟) in China, you can see how art pieces combined Eastern and Western styles into something distinctive. It cannot be seen anywhere else. The story of the Silk Road tells us how people from faraway lands could become friends through trade and shared ideas.

Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·广东深圳市福田区石厦学校·期中） The Shenzhen-produced dance drama “Wing Chun” (《咏春》) shows a traditional Chinese kung fu style. It was set to be performed in Paris from Oct. 4 to 6, 2024, with four performances over these three days, according to Shenzhen Daily. France Soir, a French national newspaper, highly praised the dance drama to its readers. According to the report, people who like Chinese martial arts (武术) and dance, will find “Wing Chun” very worth attending. The reporting team did a careful study of making “Wing Chun”. In order to show what it was like behind the stage, they traveled to Shenzhen to watch shows. During their visit to the Pingshan Theatre in Shenzhen in late June, the reporters were impressed by the production, saying that “the sets have nothing to envy Broadway theaters, and the stage is completely modern.” Wing Chun is one of the martial arts inherited (传承) from Shaolin. Yip Man (叶问) is the third generation inheritor. He began teaching Wing Chun in Hong Kong in 1949. Yip Man later introduced Wing Chun to the country. Today, Wing Chun is the second most popular martial art after Tai Chi. All this is because of Yip Man. In 2014, Wing Chun was added to the national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) list. It has also become popular worldwide through action films. A post on a French blog said this show was a cultural feast (盛宴) for the eyes and the soul. It reported “Wing Chun” would meet the growing interest in the dance drama in France. This production was rich in traditional Chinese culture. It was expected to greet local audiences and leave an impression on the local arts scene, after its successful overseas performances in the UK and Singapore. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By telling a story. B．By raising a question. C．By showing a piece of news. D．By listing some numbers. 2．What does “it” in paragraph 3 refer to? A．“Wing Chun”. B．A careful study. C．The reporting team. D．A Chinese kung fu style. 3．How does Wing Chun become popular all over the country? A．Through action movies. B．Through martial arts schools. C．Through Tai Chi shows. D．Through Yip Man’s introduction. 4．What can we infer about the dance-drama “Wing Chun”? A．“Wing Chun” would cost people a lot in France. B．“Wing Chun” would only be performed in France. C．“Wing Chun” would have little effect on the local scene in France. D．“Wing Chun” would be better introduced internationally. 5．What’s the best title of the passage? A．Wing Chun Leads Fashion in Hong Kong B．Wing Chun Becomes a National Cultural Feast C．“Wing Chun” Gains Attention from French Media D．“Wing Chun” Makes the Most Popular Chinese Show 主题04 人与自然——环境与保护、人与动植物 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·广东省深圳市多校联考·期中） From March to November each year, Huang Yahui and her team live outdoors, carrying cameras and notebooks. They travel through forests, mountains, and highlands in Xinjiang to do research. Huang’s love for nature began as a child, and her passion (热情) for butterflies grew as she got older. In 2011, she joined a research team led by Professor Ma Ming from the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography as a volunteer. Huang spent several months working with the team, doing fieldwork and focusing on bird protection, which started her interest in environmental protection. She is now a co-founder of a nature protection center in Urumqi. The center’s goal is to raise people’s environmental awareness and protect wildlife. Huang has developed a strong passion for butterflies. Over the years, she and her team have recorded more than 200 species of butterflies. They are also recording and collecting important data to protect biodiversity (生物多样性). “Butterflies are an indicator species for climate change,” she explained. “They are sensitive (敏感的) to small changes in climate, and their population changes can tell us a lot about the environment.” One day, while exploring the Tianshan Mountains, Huang and her team discovered a rare butterfly species with shining wings. “It’s the Parnassius loxias. I found it!” Huang said excitedly. This species had not been seen for over a century, and Huang felt like she was connecting with scientists from the past. However, the work is not without challenges. It is difficult to follow butterflies. Human activities have also destroyed many butterfly habitats. Huang and her team help local farmers make more room for wildlife to live safely. 1．How did Huang Yahui start her interest in environmental protection? A．She found special butterflies in her childhood. B．She studied biology at a famous university. C．She worked as a volunteer on a research team. D．She founded a nature protection center with others. 2．The underlined sentence in the fifth paragraph means butterflies can ______? A．fight climate change B．show climate change C．cause climate change D．affect climate change 3．Why does the article mention the discovery of the Parnassius loxias butterfly in Paragraph 6? A．To describe the beauty of the Tianshan Mountains. B．To show that butterfly research is not difficult at all. C．To give an example of an important and exciting finding. D．To explain why butterflies are sensitive to climate change. 4．What can we infer about Huang Yahui and her team’s work from the passage? A．They only focus on protecting butterflies and pay no attention to other wildlife. B．Their efforts to protect butterfly habitats have no connection with local farmers. C．The data they collect about butterflies is helpful for studying climate and biodiversity. D．They have spent less than 10 years recording the 200 species of butterflies. 5．Where does the text most probably come from? A．A travel brochure. B．A children’s storybook. C．A local newspaper. D．A novel. Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·广东省深圳外国语学校·期中） For centuries, sailors have told amazing stories of “milky seas”. Imagine sailing at night when suddenly the entire ocean turns bright white. It produces a steady light and glows like a field of heavy snow. It is so large that it can be seen even from space! Sailors also report that the ocean becomes strangely calm during these events. For a long time, it was a mystery between myth and science. It is so rare that there is only one known photograph of it, taken in 2019. Now, by creating a database from old sailor reports and modern satellite pictures, scientists have become detectives and managed to study the situation. Scientists believe the primary source of the light is billions of tiny bacteria in the water. This is different from the quick and sudden bright light of plankton (浮游生物). According to their study, the glowing bacteria might live with a type of algae (藻类) that creates calming slime (黏液) on the surface of water. Their detective work also discovered other fascinating details. For example, milky seas are not just small patches of light. They can be very huge, sometimes covering an area larger than a state. Besides, their appearance may be connected to climate patterns like La Niña, which bring nutrient-rich waters to the surface, feeding the bacteria. Yet, for all its beauty, this impressive scene might hold a darker meaning. The bacteria thought to cause milky seas is also a known “killer” of some fish. As the scientists note, if these milky seas become more common, it could be a very clear warning sign from the ocean itself. 1．What is the ocean like when there is a milky sea? A．The water suddenly becomes cooler. B．The water is unusually thick and still. C．The water changes into ice overnight. D．The water becomes very clear quickly. 2．Why was it so difficult for scientists to study milky seas directly? A．The glowing area was dangerous to come close. B．Satellites couldn’t take clear pictures of the ocean. C．They were believed to be myths made up by sailors. D．The events were very uncommon and unpredictable. 3．Where does the light in a milky sea come from? A．Calming slime. B．Glowing algae. C．Glowing bacteria. D．Shining plankton. 4．What is this article mainly about? A．A mysterious event in the ocean. B．A discovery of deep-sea creatures. C．A situation causing climate change. D．Sea pollution resulting from sailing. 5．In which column can you read the article? A．Food and health. B．Travel and adventure. C．Legends and myths. D．Science and technology. Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·广东省深圳市福田区耀华实验学校·期中） Some animals can easily find their way home after a long journey. How do they make it? Scientific research shows that they are born with certain unusual abilities for direction. A certain kind of ants, for example, can count their steps to stop themselves from getting lost. They can go as far as 110 metres and bring food home. These ants live in the open desert, so they have nothing to guide them along the way. It’s like someone walking six kilometres through a dark forest. Some fish have an unbelievable sense of smell. They can smell even a single drop of their home water in a large sea area. Some sea birds have a similar ability. They are able to make a smell map of their flying area. Some animals can sense the earth’s magnetic field (磁场), while humans can’t. This magnetic field guides a certain kind of fish when they swim a long way to a place and then back. How can this kind of fish do that? It is still a mystery. Scientists have no good answers yet. However, animals with such unusual abilities still have difficulty dealing with environmental changes caused by human activities. For example, many birds depend on stars for direction, but they get lost easily at night when city lights are kept on all night. To solve this problem, we can simply turn off some lights at night. Clearly, one small act of humans may mean a lot to animals. 1．How can a certain kind of ants find their way? A．By imagining the way. B．By counting their steps. C．By bringing food together. D．By walking through a forest. 2．What helps some fish return home in the sea? A．Their ability to smell. B．Their sense of the earth. C．Their maps of flying area. D．Their direction from stars. 3．What does the underlined word “mystery” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Something important to learn. B．Something easy to understand. C．Something difficult to explain. D．Something interesting to study. 4．Which of the following best shows the structure of the text? A．①/②/③④⑤ B．①②/③④/⑤ C．①②③/④/⑤ D．①/②③④/⑤ 5．Where is this passage most probably from? A．A story book. B．An art magazine. C．A travel guide. D．A science magazine. Passage 4 （25-26九年级上·广东省深圳市观澜二中教育集团·期中） Every year, millions of migratory birds (候鸟) fly long distances across the world, overcoming difficulties like storms and hunger to complete their journey. These birds are not only beautiful but also play a key role in nature, such as controlling insect populations and connecting different habitats (栖息地) around the world. However, a 2024 report by the IUCN (国际自然保护联盟) shows that 30% of migratory bird species have gone down in number, and 15% are endangered. Migratory birds today face serious problems. Climate change is affecting their migration routes (迁移路线) and resting places. For example, Arctic terns (北极燕鸥) fly from the north to the south of the Earth every year, but now ice melts earlier. They have less time to raise their young babies. At the same time, the wetlands, places for them to rest and eat during their journey, are being changed to cities and farms. Illegal hunting is another danger. In some areas, birds are caught for their feathers, meat, or to be sold as pets. In 2023, a large illegal hunting group in Southeast Asia was found to have killed more than 10,000 migratory birds in just half a year. Thankfully, people around the world are acting to protect these birds. The “Wings of Hope” campaign started in 2024 to encourage all people and organizations to protect migratory birds. Volunteers have built man-made wetlands and feeding stations along migration routes. In China, local groups run “bird watching stations” to watch over the birds. Scientists also use GPS trackers (追踪器) to study their migration routes in order to protect their habitats. All living creatures share the same Earth. Migratory birds remind us how beautiful and fragile (脆弱的) our planet is. Protecting them is not just about saving birds; it is about keeping the Earth healthy for our children. 1．How does the writer introduce the topic in Paragraph 1? A．By using a famous saying. B．By asking questions. C．By presenting numbers. D．By showing opinions. 2．What problem do Arctic terns face because of climate change? A．They only have places for resting. B．They don’t have more time to raise their young babies. C．Their GPS trackers often stop working in cold areas. D．They are easily caught by illegal hunters. 3．Why are migratory birds caught in some areas? A．To protect them from natural enemies. B．To study their migration routes. C．To increase their population in local areas. D．For their meat, feathers, or to be sold as pets. 4．What is the structure of the passage? A．①/②③④/⑤ B．①②③④/⑤ C．①/②③/④/⑤ D．①②/③④/⑤ 5．In which part of a newspaper can we probably find this passage? A．Nature. B．Travel. C．Culture. D．Sports. Passage 5 （25-26九年级上·广东省深圳市多校联考·期中） Orchids (兰花) are a large family of flowering plants. A book introducing the city’s 96 species (物种) of wild orchids was published by Shenzhen Orchid Conservation and Research Centre at the beginning of 2021. The researchers in the centre spent two years finishing and publishing the book. Shenzhen started recording species of wild orchids in 1983. Information and pictures of the 96 species discovered in the city were all included in the book. Several of the valuable pictures were provided by local plant lovers. Chen Jianbing, director of the city’s orchid conservation and research centre, said that the book reflects the situation of wild orchids to some degree in the region. He said the book was a good example of the city’s improvement in environmental protection, adding that it was important for protecting and researching wild orchids. Orchids are of high value for medicine, food and decoration. The plants are considered as the “panda of the plant field” in China but illegal harvesting and pollution to the environment in recent years have influenced the growth of wild orchids. There are orchids growing in greenhouses and orchids growing in the wild. The former look the same in size and appearance but the latter are much cheaper. For most people, they prefer to buy more affordable ones. However, it’s illegal to sell or buy wild orchids. By publishing the book, the centre plans to improve the protection of orchids and spread the knowledge of the flowers to people so as to encourage them to pay more attention to wild orchids. 1．What can we know about the book? A．Most pictures in the book were provided by local plant lovers. B．It was finished by Chen Jianbing himself. C．It began to be written at the start of 2019. D．It introduced all species of wild orchids in China. 2．Which achievement does the book show according to Chen Jianbing? A．The city’s protection of the environment. B．The city’s action to stop illegal harvesting. C．The city’s development in economy. D．The city’s research on wild orchids. 3．Why do most consumers choose to buy wild orchids? A．Because they look more beautiful. B．Because the price of them is much lower. C．Because they look different in size and appearance. D．Because they are hard to harvest. 4．What can we infer from the passage? A．Orchids have many uses for human beings. B．The orchids in greenhouses are more popular than those in the wild. C．20 years ago, Shenzhen began to record species of wild orchids. D．The book was written to tell people how to protect wild orchids. 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．Wild orchids discovered in Shenzhen. B．A book tells about the value of wild orchids. C．Wild orchid book published in Shenzhen. D．Shenzhen tries to protect wild orchids. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
