Passage 4 （25-26九年级上·河北唐山·期中）On a Friday night, I sat at the dinner table and said, “I have to bring a special box for our Friends Day on Monday.” “We’ll see,” said my father, and then he continued eating. What does “We’ll see” mean? Maybe he doesn’t love me enough to help me with my project. All Saturday, I waited and waited. But my father didn’t mention the thing. As Sunday arrived, my worry increased. On Sunday afternoon, my father called me into the kitchen. The table was covered with colorful paper and an empty shoebox was placed on it. He said, “Let’s get started!” In the next hour, my father changed the shoebox into a wonderful box. Colorful paper covered the cardboard with red hearts pasted all over. When he finished, he asked, “What do you think of it, Mike?” I answered with a hug. But inside, joy danced all the way to my heart. It was the first time that my father had spent so much time with me, because his world was filled with work only. Suddenly, I realized what I supposed was wrong. My father loved me.

When I was young, it was the spring of my life. I started going to school and I learned many new things. There were happy days and sad days. Some days the sun shone but some days it didn’t. When I was twenty, I had a good job. I was strong and happy. Then I married and had a son and a daughter. In those days I didn’t have much time to think or to play. Every day I was busy and worked hard. I started to get some gray hair. The summer of my life passed quickly. Then the days got shorter. Leaves fell down from the trees. My children were university students and then my daughter became a doctor and my son became a scientist. They were so busy and had no time to see me. My home was much quieter. I started walking more slowly. One day, I stopped working—I retired (退休). I understood this was my autumn, a beautiful time when the trees change color and give us delicious fruits. But the days kept getting shorter and colder. Then winter comes. I am older and weaker. I know I do not have many days left, but I will still enjoy them to the end. 1．What was life like when the writer was young? A．Spring. B．Summer. C．Autumn.

Passage 6 （25-26九年级上·河北保定·期中）Once there was a man traveling in a faraway village. As he was passing some elephants, he suddenly stopped. He found that these big elephants were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was clear that the elephants could, at any time, break away from their ropes but for some reason, they did not. He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and didn’t try to get away. “Well,” the trainer said, “when they were very young and even much smaller we used the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they still believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can hold them, so they never try to break free.” How could it be? These animals could at any time break free from their ropes. But because they were always stuck right where they were, they believed they couldn’t. Just like the elephants, how many of us go through life believing that we cannot do something, just because we failed only once before? Failing is part of learning. We should never give up the struggle (挣扎) in life. 1．What is holding the big elephants? A．Big chains. B．A small rope. C．Strong cages.

C．It is worse than success. D．It helps people break ropes. Passage 7 （25-26九年级上·河北唐山·期中）When I have something difficult to do, I always ask my mom, “Could you help me?” But she always says, “Do it yourself, dear.” Then I get so sad. I think she is a lazy mother. For example, one day, I invited some friends to my home. My bedroom was out of order. Books were all over the table and the ground. I forgot to make my bed. So I asked my mother to help me clean it. But she said seriously, “Do it yourself, girl.” So I did it myself. Because of my “lazy” mother, I am supposed to wash my clothes and clean my room. I even have to go to the dentist’s by myself if I have a toothache. It’s really hard to do everything on my own, but I have learned a lot. From now on, I understand my mother. It’s her “laziness” that makes me clever and hard-working. Just as my mother always says, “A lady can’t be lazy or she’ll be crazy. Work can make you sunny.” 1．Why did the girl ask her mother to help her that day? A．Because she was so busy. B．Because she couldn’t do housework by herself.

Passage 8 （25-26九年级上·河北沧州·期中）One sunny afternoon, a farmer brought home a new donkey (驴) named Dusty. Dusty worked hard but was very slow. The farmer also had a lazy dog named Max, who loved sleeping all day. One day, the farmer said, “Dusty, you must carry these heavy bags of corn to the market. Max, you go with him to protect the corn.” Max asked, “Why can’t Dusty do it alone? I need my beauty sleep!” Dusty just shook his head and started walking. On the way, Max had an idea. “Hey Dusty, why work so hard? Let’s have a sleep under that tree!” Dusty replied, “But the farmer trusts us.” Max laughed. “He’ll never know!” Dusty thought for a moment and said, “Okay, but first, let’s hide the bags so no one steals them.” Max agreed. Dusty dug a hole with his feet and said, “Jump into it and hold the bags. I’ll cover you with leaves so bad people won’t see you.” Excited, Max jumped in. Dusty quickly covered him with earth instead! “Hey! What are you doing?” Max shouted. Dusty smiled. “If you want to rest, rest forever.” Then he walked away, leaving only Max’s head above the ground. When the farmer came looking, he saw Max stuck and Dusty calmly eating grass. “Max! You lazy troublemaker!” the farmer shouted. Laziness (懒惰) may seem fun, but in the end, hard work and wisdom (智慧) always win. 1．Why did the farmer ask Max to go with Dusty? A．To help carry the corn. B．To protect the corn.

Passage 9 （25-26九年级上·河北衡水·期中）Every time I see that spacecraft-shaped kite hanging on my wall, Grandpa Sun’s voice rises in my ears and can still touch my heart after so long. When I was a child, I often went to my great-grandmother’s house in the countryside. Her neighbour was a craftsman (手艺人) who was good at making kites, and I called him “Grandpa Sun”. I loved watching him make kites, and he always showed me his works with pleasure. All of the kites he made were vivid (逼真的), some like birds flapping (摆动) their wings against the wind, others like fish wagging (扇动) their heads and tails in the air. Seeing my admiring look seemed to bring him the greatest satisfaction. Once, I asked him, “Grandpa, can you teach me how to make kites?” His eyes lit up at once, shining with the brightness that I had never seen before. He looked at me and said, “There are fewer and fewer people making kites with hands because everything can be produced with machines! So, little boy, since you are going back to the city in a few days, let’s just enjoy flying a kite.” The kite we made together flew in the blue sky for a while before falling to the ground as the wind slowly died down. Just as I was about to leave, he gifted me a spacecraft-shaped kite. “Take this, and don’t forget my kite. May you fly as high as this kite.” There were two handwritten characters on the kite: Shenzhou, just like the famous rocket.

D．Because he didn’t like machine-made kites. 3．What does the writer mainly want to express in this text? A．His love for kite flying. B．His interest in spacecraft. C．His dislike for machine-made products. D．His memory of a meaningful childhood experience. Passage 10 （25-26九年级上·河北衡水·期中）People often ask me for suggestions about how to learn English. As for it, everyone is different. I’ll share some of my experience. I once took a school-year English course at Wuhan University, but I mostly learned English on my own. One thing I can tell you is that once you’ve started learning, you should try to think in English as much as you can. If you see something when you’re riding your bike or walking down the street, just think about “How would I say it in English?” At first, it might be with simple words or phrases, but later you should think about longer phrases and sentences. Now I’m in America, and for most of the time, I would think in English and speak it directly. It’s amazing how much this helps. For several years after I started learning, I was often afraid of talking with others in English because I didn’t want to make mistakes. Finally I got it over. And while traveling in America, I’d try to hang out with friends who couldn’t speak Chinese, so that I’d have no option but to speak English. And I also decided that if I said something stupid and other people laughed at me, then so be it. After that, my English started improving much more quickly. Besides, it may be a good idea to ask your American friends to look at the way you’re writing, and give you some suggestions for improvement. 1．How long did the writer learn English at Wuhan University? A．About three months. B．About a year. C．About a term. D．About two years. 2．What is a good way to improve your English according to the writer? A．Thinking in English. B．Learning English grammar. C．Watching English films. D．Reading English books. 3．Where is the writer now? A．In China. B．In England. C．In Germany. D．In America. 4．What does the underlined word “option” mean in Paragraph 3? A．Idea. B．Decision. C．Choice. D．Chance. 5．Which can be the best title for the text? A．The Importance of English B．My Experience in Learning English C．My English Grades in University D．The Secrets of Memorizing English Words Passage 11 （25-26九年级上·河北唐山·期中）Who invented the umbrella? There are many different opinions. One of them is that Luban’s wife invented it in ancient China. There’s even an interesting story about it. Luban was the most famous carpenter（木匠） in ancient China. One day, Luban and his wife were taking a walk and enjoying the beautiful view. Suddenly it began to rain. Both of them were soaked when they got back home. Luban’s wife said, “If there is something that can protect people from the rain when they are walking outdoors, it will be wonderful.” Then Luban said, “That’s easy. I will build many pavilions（亭）.” His wife replied, “That’s an idea, but it is not convenient. Is it possible to make a movable pavilion?” She thought all day and all night. One day, she saw some kids playing in the rain, and each kid held a big lotus （莲） leaf over the head to protect themselves from getting wet. That gave her a great idea. Then, she made the first umbrella. Since the umbrella was invented, it has been part of people’s life. Right now, millions of umbrellas are made every year in the world. One interesting thing is that most umbrellas in the world are made in China. 1．What does the underlined word “soaked” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．hurt. B．Silent. C．Safe. D．Wet. 2．What was Luban’s advice on protecting people from the rain? A．To wear a big hat. B．To bring a big lotus leaf. C．To make an umbrella. D．To build many pavilions. 3．How is the second paragraph different from the rest of the passage? A．It tells a story. B．It teaches a lesson. C．It gives some advice. D．It describes a problem. Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·河北保定·期中）“I’ll never have time to learn this hard lesson. I can’t finish it by tomorrow,” Robert told Frank after class. “You have 10 minutes before lunch. Why not start now?” asked his brother. “10 minutes is nothing! And I need to run with my dog Rover,” replied Robert. After lunch, they walked back to school. Frank read his book while walking, but Robert watched for birds in trees. When school ended, friends shouted, “Come to play football!” Robert ran away with the boys. Frank said he’d join the boys in 15 minutes, took out his book again, and after finishing studying, he played and had fun. The two brothers were tired that evening, and went to bed early. The next day, Frank knew the lesson well, but Robert told the teacher he had no time to learn it. “How did you find time, Frank?” the teacher asked. “10 minutes before lunch yesterday, 20 minutes on the way back to school, 15 minutes before football. Then 10 minutes to review before bed, and 5 minutes before breakfast today,” Frank answered. “That’s one hour of practice,” replied his teacher. “Frank, you may run and play at break time. Robert, you will spend break time learning that lesson.

Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·河北石家庄·期中）A couple had a son eleven years after they married. They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eye. When the boy was around four years old, one day the father was very tired after work, so he asked his wife to pick up their son. The mother, who was very busy in the kitchen, totally forgot about it. Later, the boy lost his way on the street. When the son was found missing, the mother hurried to look for him, but she didn’t find him. The mother felt very sad and didn’t know how to face her husband. When the father went to the police station after hearing that his son was missing, he looked at his wife and said just four words. What do you think the four words were? The husband just said, “I love you, darling.” The son was missing. If he had picked him up earlier, this would not have happened. There is no point in blaming (责备) anyone. His wife had almost lost her only child. What his wife needed at that moment was comfort and understanding from her husband. That is what the husband gave his wife. Several weeks later, with the help of the police, the couple finally found their lost son. The family’s relationship became stronger over that time. Sometimes we spend lots of time asking who is to blame. We miss many chances to give each other support and let each other feel the warmth of human relationships. Forget all the things that you don’t want to forgive (原谅), selfishness and you will find the world is much more wonderful. 1．The underlined phrase “the apple of their eye” means “________”. A．a person who looks like an apple B．a person who is as pretty as an apple C．a person who always has a sweet smile D．a person who is loved more than anyone else 2．Why didn’t the father pick the boy up himself?

A．Learn to forgive others. B．Son is the most important. C．Everyone may make mistakes. D．Be careful in everything you do. 4．What kind of person do you think the husband is? A．Careful. B．Hard-working. C．Broad-minded. D．Warm-hearted. Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·河北秦皇岛·期中）“Amma, your son has sent money to you,” said the postman to the old lady. She was sitting outside her house. Seeing him, Amma’s face lighted up. “Let me first talk to my son,” she was looking at him with hopeful eyes. But the postman tried to avoid it, “Amma, I don’t have so much time. Don’t talk with your son every time.” The postman wanted to go but Amma stopped him. She said, “It will take just a while.” Hearing this, the postman dialed (拨号) a number on his mobile phone.After talking to her son on the phone, Amma was happy. Then, the postman handed eight 100-rupee (卢比，货币单位) notes to Amma. After counting the money, she took out one note and gave it to the postman. “Why, Amma?” asked the postman. Amma smiled and said, “You bring me money and also let me talk to my son. It must cost money, right? So keep it.” Amma went inside after giving him lots of blessings (祝福). The postman left and met his friend Ramu. “Every month you give your own money to Amma. Not only that, you give me money to talk to her on the phone as her son! Why?” Ramu asked.

What do you think of the stories? I think they are interesting and meaningful. Let’s read this story and find out something. The donkey (驴) and the fox lived in the forest. They were good friends. They often played together. The fox and the donkey always had a nice time. The other animals often said that they were like peas and carrots. The donkey often helped the fox. The fox thanked him and said he would do anything for the donkey. One day, the donkey and the fox went out as usual. They were hunting happily together. Suddenly they met the lion.

Passage 6 （25-26九年级上·河北保定·期中）Although it’s said Van Gogh (梵高) (1853–1890) sold only one painting during his lifetime, different theories exist (存在). It is true that The Red Vineyard is the only painting sold during Van Gogh’s lifetime, and that was officially recorded and accepted by the art world. It’s recorded that Van Gogh started painting at 27, and died at 37. His famous paintings were produced after he went to France in 1888, only two years before he died. So it is clear that he did not sell many. However, others disagree. The leading Van Gogh scholar (学者), Marc, is one of them. Though the story that Van Gogh sold just one painting still goes around, he insists (坚持说) that Van Gogh sold at least two. Also, according to the Van Gogh Museum website, Van Gogh actually sold a number of paintings for a living during his lifetime. His first income came from his uncle, who was an art dealer. In order to help Van Gogh’s career (事业), he ordered 19 paintings. And Van Gogh himself would often trade his paintings for food or art supplies (美术用品) when he was younger. Van Gogh died in July of 1890. His brother was a wise dealer and saved lots of paintings by Van Gogh. His greatest wish was to make the works more widely known and make much money. Sadly he himself died just six months later. He left a large collection of art to his wife, who “sold some of Van Gogh’s works, lent as many as she could to exhibitions, and published many of Van Gogh’s letters to his brother. Without her, Van Gogh would never have become as famous as he is today.” After her death, her son founded the Van Gogh Museum. 1．According to ________, only one painting was sold during Van Gogh’s lifetime.

My dad’s a photographer and he said that he was going to get up the following morning at 5 o’clock to take photos. Mum wasn’t interested, but I said I’d go with him, only because he promised I could have the biggest ever bowl of Italian ice cream if I did. Why else would I rise so early? So at 5 a. m., we left the hotel and started walking. There was almost no one in the streets. As the sun began to come up, Dad started taking photographs and I just looked around. Every time he walked off, I followed him, down small streets and over little bridges. After about an hour and a half, I found we lost our way and felt a bit scared, but Dad just smiled and laughed. “We’re lost!” he said. I told him to get out his map or phone. He looked at me. “Map? Phone? I only brought the camera. Come on, let’s get more lost.” He laughed again. His laughter relaxed me and made me feel safe. We started to walk again. People were appearing on the streets — shops and cafes began to open, and as the sun came up, the narrow (狭窄的) streets started to fill with light. Finally, after about another four hours of wandering around, we were back. Mum asked worriedly, “Where have you been?” I said with a big smile, “We got lost.” These days we have so many things to stop us from getting lost — maps, GPS, apps on our phones and so on.

That was the first time I learned about them. Later, I saw robots in Western movies. They looked like metal people, moved slowly, and talked in strange voices. Back then, most Chinese people still rode bikes and used old tools. Robots felt like something from a dream. But now, robots are a part of real life. One day, I walked into a bank and was greeted by a robot. It said, “Please go to Window 3.” At a park, a robot followed me and asked, “Would you like some ice cream?” It was fun! I also called a company with a question, and a robot with a soft voice answered. I wondered, “Is this the same robot from the park?” Once, I ordered food in a hotel. Soon, my phone beeped. A robot had delivered my lunch to the door! It was short and friendly, telling me, “Please take your food while it’s warm.” In factories, millions of robots work every day, helping to make cars, phones, and even hospital beds.

What does “We’ll see” mean? Maybe he doesn’t love me enough to help me with my project. All Saturday, I waited and waited. But my father didn’t mention the thing. As Sunday arrived, my worry increased. On Sunday afternoon, my father called me into the kitchen. The table was covered with colorful paper and an empty shoebox was placed on it.

When he finished, he asked, “What do you think of it, Mike?” I answered with a hug. But inside, joy danced all the way to my heart.

I started walking more slowly. One day, I stopped working—I retired (退休). I understood this was my autumn, a beautiful time when the trees change color and give us delicious fruits.

As he was passing some elephants, he suddenly stopped. He found that these big elephants were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was clear that the elephants could, at any time, break away from their ropes but for some reason, they did not. He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and didn’t try to get away. “Well,” the trainer said, “when they were very young and even much smaller we used the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they still believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can hold them, so they never try to break free.” How could it be? These animals could at any time break free from their ropes. But because they were always stuck right where they were, they believed they couldn’t. Just like the elephants, how many of us go through life believing that we cannot do something, just because we failed only once before? Failing is part of learning. We should never give up the struggle (挣扎) in life. 1．What is holding the big elephants? A．Big chains. B．A small rope. C．Strong cages. D．Heavy stones. 2．Why don’t the big elephants try to break the rope when they grow up? A．They are too lazy to try. B．They think the rope can still hold them. C．The trainer watches them all the time. D．The rope becomes stronger as they grow. 3．What can we infer about some people in life? A．They often travel to faraway villages. B．They like to watch elephants in the zoo. C．They stop trying because they failed once. D．They know how to train elephants well. 4．What does the writer think of failing? A．It is a part of learning. B．It makes people give up easily. C．It is worse than success. D．It helps people break ropes. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇哲理记叙文，通过大象幼时被细绳束缚、长大后仍不敢挣脱的故事，告诉我们失败是学习的一部分，不要因为一次失败就放弃努力。 1．第一段指出：“He found that these big elephants were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg.”，拴住大象的是小绳子。 2．第二段表明：“They believe the rope can hold them, so they never try to break free”，大象不尝试挣脱是因为它们认为绳子仍然能束缚住它们。 3．第四段提到：“how many of us go through life believing that we cannot do something, just because we failed only once before?”，作者类比大象指出有些人因为曾经失败过一次就停止尝试。 4．最后一段“Failing is part of learning.”表明作者认为失败是学习过程中的一部分。 Passage 7 （25-26九年级上·河北唐山·期中）When I have something difficult to do, I always ask my mom, “Could you help me?” But she always says, “Do it yourself, dear.” Then I get so sad.

So I asked my mother to help me clean it. But she said seriously, “Do it yourself, girl.” So I did it myself. Because of my “lazy” mother, I am supposed to wash my clothes and clean my room. I even have to go to the dentist’s by myself if I have a toothache. It’s really hard to do everything on my own, but I have learned a lot. From now on, I understand my mother. It’s her “laziness” that makes me clever and hard-working. Just as my mother always says, “A lady can’t be lazy or she’ll be crazy. Work can make you sunny.” 1．Why did the girl ask her mother to help her that day? A．Because she was so busy. B．Because she couldn’t do housework by herself. C．Because she wanted to do housework with her mother. D．Because some friends would come but her bedroom was in a mess. 2．Whom did the girl see a dentist with? A．Nobody. B．Her classmates. C．Her father. D．Her mother. 3．What does the girl think of her mother finally? A．A busy mother. B．A good teacher. C．A hard-working woman. D．A lazy mother. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，作者起初认为母亲“懒惰”，因为母亲总是让她自己做事情。后来她意识到正是母亲的“懒”让她变得独立、勤劳，理解了母亲的良苦用心。 1．根据文章第二段“For example, one day, I invited some friends to my home. My bedroom was out of order... So I asked my mother to help me clean it”可知，作者那天请母亲帮忙是因为邀请了朋友来家里，但卧室很乱。 2．根据文章第三段“I even have to go to the dentist’s by myself”可知，作者自己去看牙医。“by myself”意为独自，说明她去看牙医时没有人陪。 3．虽然文章开头作者认为母亲懒惰，但后来，根据第三段“I have learned a lot”和第四段“It’s her ‘laziness’ that makes me clever and hard-working”可知，母亲的教育方式让作者学到了很多，变得聪明勤奋，起到了老师般的作用。 Passage 8 （25-26九年级上·河北沧州·期中）One sunny afternoon, a farmer brought home a new donkey (驴) named Dusty. Dusty worked hard but was very slow. The farmer also had a lazy dog named Max, who loved sleeping all day. One day, the farmer said, “Dusty, you must carry these heavy bags of corn to the market. Max, you go with him to protect the corn.” Max asked, “Why can’t Dusty do it alone? I need my beauty sleep!” Dusty just shook his head and started walking. On the way, Max had an idea. “Hey Dusty, why work so hard? Let’s have a sleep under that tree!” Dusty replied, “But the farmer trusts us.” Max laughed. “He’ll never know!” Dusty thought for a moment and said, “Okay, but first, let’s hide the bags so no one steals them.” Max agreed. Dusty dug a hole with his feet and said, “Jump into it and hold the bags. I’ll cover you with leaves so bad people won’t see you.” Excited, Max jumped in. Dusty quickly covered him with earth instead! “Hey! What are you doing?” Max shouted. Dusty smiled. “If you want to rest, rest forever.” Then he walked away, leaving only Max’s head above the ground. When the farmer came looking, he saw Max stuck and Dusty calmly eating grass. “Max! You lazy troublemaker!” the farmer shouted. Laziness (懒惰) may seem fun, but in the end, hard work and wisdom (智慧) always win. 1．Why did the farmer ask Max to go with Dusty? A．To help carry the corn. B．To protect the corn. C．To wake Dusty up if he sleeps. D．To guide Dusty to the market. 2．What did Dusty do to Max when Max wanted to rest under the tree? A．Dusty carried the bags alone. B．Dusty ran back to the farmer. C．Dusty slept with Max together. D．Dusty covered Max with earth. 3．What lesson does the story teach us? A．Sleeping is important for health. B．Laziness may bring some trouble. C．Donkeys are smarter than dogs. D．Trust is important between friends. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．B 【导语】本文主要讲述了勤劳的驴子Dusty在去集市的路上，用智慧惩罚了想要偷懒睡觉的懒狗Max的故事，告诉人们懒惰会带来麻烦，勤劳和智慧终将获胜。 1．根据第二段“Max, you go with him to protect the corn.”可知，农夫让Max和Dusty一起去是为了保护玉米。 2．根据第六段“Excited, Max jumped in. Dusty quickly covered him with earth instead!”可知，当Max跳进坑里准备休息时，Dusty迅速用土把他埋了起来。 3．根据倒数第二段“Max! You lazy troublemaker!”以及结尾句“Laziness may seem fun, but in the end, hard work and wisdom always win.”可知，Max因为懒惰想要睡觉，结果被Dusty困在了土里并被农夫责骂，这说明懒惰可能会给自己带来麻烦，最终获胜的总是勤劳和智慧。 Passage 9 （25-26九年级上·河北衡水·期中）Every time I see that spacecraft-shaped kite hanging on my wall, Grandpa Sun’s voice rises in my ears and can still touch my heart after so long. When I was a child, I often went to my great-grandmother’s house in the countryside. Her neighbour was a craftsman (手艺人) who was good at making kites, and I called him “Grandpa Sun”. I loved watching him make kites, and he always showed me his works with pleasure. All of the kites he made were vivid (逼真的), some like birds flapping (摆动) their wings against the wind, others like fish wagging (扇动) their heads and tails in the air. Seeing my admiring look seemed to bring him the greatest satisfaction. Once, I asked him, “Grandpa, can you teach me how to make kites?” His eyes lit up at once, shining with the brightness that I had never seen before. He looked at me and said, “There are fewer and fewer people making kites with hands because everything can be produced with machines! So, little boy, since you are going back to the city in a few days, let’s just enjoy flying a kite.” The kite we made together flew in the blue sky for a while before falling to the ground as the wind slowly died down. Just as I was about to leave, he gifted me a spacecraft-shaped kite. “Take this, and don’t forget my kite. May you fly as high as this kite.” There were two handwritten characters on the kite: Shenzhou, just like the famous rocket. I will never forget Grandpa Sun, nor his wonderful gift. 1．What did the writer often do when he was a child? A．He often flew kites in the city. B．He often bought kites from Grandpa Sun. C．He often visited his great-grandmother’s house. D．He often made kites with his great-grandmother. 2．Why did Grandpa Sun’s eyes light up when the writer wanted to learn kite-making? A．Because he wanted to sell more kites. B．Because few people still made kites with hands. C．Because he thought the writer was very smart. D．Because he didn’t like machine-made kites. 3．What does the writer mainly want to express in this text? A．His love for kite flying. B．His interest in spacecraft. C．His dislike for machine-made products. D．His memory of a meaningful childhood experience. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D 【导语】本文讲述了作者童年时在乡下与手艺人孙爷爷制作和放飞风筝的温暖回忆。 1．第二段指出“I often went to my great-grandmother’s house in the countryside”，说明他经常去曾祖母家。 2．第三段孙爷爷说“There are fewer and fewer people making kites with hands because everything can be produced with machines!”，说明他眼睛发亮是因为很少有人手工做风筝了，得知作者想学手工风筝，他十分欣喜。 3．全文围绕童年时期与孙爷爷一起做风筝的回忆展开。 Passage 10 （25-26九年级上·河北衡水·期中）People often ask me for suggestions about how to learn English. As for it, everyone is different. I’ll share some of my experience. I once took a school-year English course at Wuhan University, but I mostly learned English on my own. One thing I can tell you is that once you’ve started learning, you should try to think in English as much as you can. If you see something when you’re riding your bike or walking down the street, just think about “How would I say it in English?” At first, it might be with simple words or phrases, but later you should think about longer phrases and sentences. Now I’m in America, and for most of the time, I would think in English and speak it directly. It’s amazing how much this helps. For several years after I started learning, I was often afraid of talking with others in English because I didn’t want to make mistakes. Finally I got it over. And while traveling in America, I’d try to hang out with friends who couldn’t speak Chinese, so that I’d have no option but to speak English. And I also decided that if I said something stupid and other people laughed at me, then so be it. After that, my English started improving much more quickly. Besides, it may be a good idea to ask your American friends to look at the way you’re writing, and give you some suggestions for improvement. 1．How long did the writer learn English at Wuhan University? A．About three months. B．About a year. C．About a term. D．About two years. 2．What is a good way to improve your English according to the writer? A．Thinking in English. B．Learning English grammar. C．Watching English films. D．Reading English books. 3．Where is the writer now? A．In China. B．In England. C．In Germany. D．In America. 4．What does the underlined word “option” mean in Paragraph 3? A．Idea. B．Decision. C．Choice. D．Chance. 5．Which can be the best title for the text? A．The Importance of English B．My Experience in Learning English C．My English Grades in University D．The Secrets of Memorizing English Words 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者分享自己通过“用英语思考”等方法学习英语的经验与感悟。 1．第一段指出“I once took a school-year English course at Wuhan University”，故作者在武汉大学学了一年英语。 2．第二段指出“you should try to think in English as much as you can”，并描述“think in English”的具体做法和效果，故作者认为学英语的好方法是“用英语思考”。 3．第二段指出“Now I’m in America”，故作者现在在美国。 4．第三段指出“I’d try to hang out with friends who couldn’t speak Chinese, so that I’d have no option but to speak English”，结合上下文可知在只能讲英语的情况下，没有其他选择，故option意为“选择”。 5．第一段提出“I’ll share some of my experience”，全文围绕作者学习英语的经历展开，从初学、恐惧到突破瓶颈并给出建议，故B项“My Experience in Learning English”最能概括全文主旨。 Passage 11 （25-26九年级上·河北唐山·期中）Who invented the umbrella? There are many different opinions. One of them is that Luban’s wife invented it in ancient China. There’s even an interesting story about it. Luban was the most famous carpenter（木匠） in ancient China. One day, Luban and his wife were taking a walk and enjoying the beautiful view. Suddenly it began to rain. Both of them were soaked when they got back home. Luban’s wife said, “If there is something that can protect people from the rain when they are walking outdoors, it will be wonderful.” Then Luban said, “That’s easy. I will build many pavilions（亭）.” His wife replied, “That’s an idea, but it is not convenient. Is it possible to make a movable pavilion?” She thought all day and all night. One day, she saw some kids playing in the rain, and each kid held a big lotus （莲） leaf over the head to protect themselves from getting wet. That gave her a great idea. Then, she made the first umbrella. Since the umbrella was invented, it has been part of people’s life. Right now, millions of umbrellas are made every year in the world. One interesting thing is that most umbrellas in the world are made in China. 1．What does the underlined word “soaked” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．hurt. B．Silent. C．Safe. D．Wet. 2．What was Luban’s advice on protecting people from the rain? A．To wear a big hat. B．To bring a big lotus leaf. C．To make an umbrella. D．To build many pavilions. 3．How is the second paragraph different from the rest of the passage? A．It tells a story. B．It teaches a lesson. C．It gives some advice. D．It describes a problem. 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述雨伞的起源传说，介绍鲁班妻子受荷叶启发发明雨伞的故事，同时补充如今雨伞的生产现状。 1．根据第二段原文“Suddenly it began to rain. Both of them were soaked when they got back home.”，突然下起大雨，两人没有遮雨工具，回到家浑身湿透，soaked意为“湿透的”，和Wet含义匹配。 2．根据第二段鲁班所说“That’s easy. I will build many pavilions.”可知，鲁班最初提出的防雨办法是建造很多亭子，而非制作伞、荷叶、帽子。 3．通读全文，第一段引出雨伞发明者的话题，第三段介绍现代雨伞生产现状，均为说明陈述；第二段完整讲述鲁班夫妇遇雨、妻子受荷叶启发造出第一把伞的完整经过，是完整小故事，这是第二段和其余段落最核心的区别。 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·河北保定·期中）“I’ll never have time to learn this hard lesson. I can’t finish it by tomorrow,” Robert told Frank after class. “You have 10 minutes before lunch. Why not start now?” asked his brother. “10 minutes is nothing! And I need to run with my dog Rover,” replied Robert. After lunch, they walked back to school. Frank read his book while walking, but Robert watched for birds in trees. When school ended, friends shouted, “Come to play football!” Robert ran away with the boys. Frank said he’d join the boys in 15 minutes, took out his book again, and after finishing studying, he played and had fun. The two brothers were tired that evening, and went to bed early. The next day, Frank knew the lesson well, but Robert told the teacher he had no time to learn it. “How did you find time, Frank?” the teacher asked. “10 minutes before lunch yesterday, 20 minutes on the way back to school, 15 minutes before football. Then 10 minutes to review before bed, and 5 minutes before breakfast today,” Frank answered. “That’s one hour of practice,” replied his teacher. “Frank, you may run and play at break time.

They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eye. When the boy was around four years old, one day the father was very tired after work, so he asked his wife to pick up their son. The mother, who was very busy in the kitchen, totally forgot about it. Later, the boy lost his way on the street. When the son was found missing, the mother hurried to look for him, but she didn’t find him. The mother felt very sad and didn’t know how to face her husband. When the father went to the police station after hearing that his son was missing, he looked at his wife and said just four words. What do you think the four words were? The husband just said, “I love you, darling.” The son was missing. If he had picked him up earlier, this would not have happened. There is no point in blaming (责备) anyone. His wife had almost lost her only child. What his wife needed at that moment was comfort and understanding from her husband. That is what the husband gave his wife. Several weeks later, with the help of the police, the couple finally found their lost son. The family’s relationship became stronger over that time. Sometimes we spend lots of time asking who is to blame. We miss many chances to give each other support and let each other feel the warmth of human relationships. Forget all the things that you don’t want to forgive (原谅), selfishness and you will find the world is much more wonderful. 1．The underlined phrase “the apple of their eye” means “________”. A．a person who looks like an apple B．a person who is as pretty as an apple C．a person who always has a sweet smile D．a person who is loved more than anyone else 2．Why didn’t the father pick the boy up himself?

A．Learn to forgive others. B．Son is the most important. C．Everyone may make mistakes. D．Be careful in everything you do. 4．What kind of person do you think the husband is? A．Careful. B．Hard-working. C．Broad-minded. D．Warm-hearted. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文讲述了一对夫妇因疏忽导致儿子走失，丈夫没有责备妻子，而是给予安慰和理解，最终家庭关系变得更加紧密的故事，传达了宽恕与理解的重要性。 1．词句猜测题。根据第一段“They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eye.”可知，这对夫妇很恩爱，儿子是他们的“掌上明珠”，即他们最爱的人。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第一段“the father was very tired after work, so he asked his wife to pick up their son.”可知，父亲因为下班后很累，所以让妻子去接儿子。故选B。 3．主旨大意题。文章通过丈夫在儿子走失后没有责备妻子，而是给予安慰的例子，告诉我们应学会宽恕他人，最后一段也强调了这一点。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据丈夫在儿子走失后对妻子说“I love you, darling.”以及他对妻子的理解和安慰，可推断他是一位心胸宽广（broad-minded）的人。故选C。 Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·河北秦皇岛·期中）“Amma, your son has sent money to you,” said the postman to the old lady.

It is true that The Red Vineyard is the only painting sold during Van Gogh’s lifetime, and that was officially recorded and accepted by the art world. It’s recorded that Van Gogh started painting at 27, and died at 37. His famous paintings were produced after he went to France in 1888, only two years before he died. So it is clear that he did not sell many. However, others disagree. The leading Van Gogh scholar (学者), Marc, is one of them. Though the story that Van Gogh sold just one painting still goes around, he insists (坚持说) that Van Gogh sold at least two. Also, according to the Van Gogh Museum website, Van Gogh actually sold a number of paintings for a living during his lifetime. His first income came from his uncle, who was an art dealer. In order to help Van Gogh’s career (事业), he ordered 19 paintings. And Van Gogh himself would often trade his paintings for food or art supplies (美术用品) when he was younger. Van Gogh died in July of 1890. His brother was a wise dealer and saved lots of paintings by Van Gogh. His greatest wish was to make the works more widely known and make much money.

My dad’s a photographer and he said that he was going to get up the following morning at 5 o’clock to take photos.

So at 5 a. m., we left the hotel and started walking. There was almost no one in the streets. As the sun began to come up, Dad started taking photographs and I just looked around. Every time he walked off, I followed him, down small streets and over little bridges. After about an hour and a half, I found we lost our way and felt a bit scared, but Dad just smiled and laughed. “We’re lost!” he said. I told him to get out his map or phone. He looked at me. “Map? Phone? I only brought the camera. Come on, let’s get more lost.” He laughed again. His laughter relaxed me and made me feel safe. We started to walk again. People were appearing on the streets — shops and cafes began to open, and as the sun came up, the narrow (狭窄的) streets started to fill with light. Finally, after about another four hours of wandering around, we were back. Mum asked worriedly, “Where have you been?” I said with a big smile, “We got lost.” These days we have so many things to stop us from getting lost — maps, GPS, apps on our phones and so on.

That was the first time I learned about them. Later, I saw robots in Western movies. They looked like metal people, moved slowly, and talked in strange voices. Back then, most Chinese people still rode bikes and used old tools. Robots felt like something from a dream. But now, robots are a part of real life. One day, I walked into a bank and was greeted by a robot. It said, “Please go to Window 3.” At a park, a robot followed me and asked, “Would you like some ice cream?” It was fun! I also called a company with a question, and a robot with a soft voice answered. I wondered, “Is this the same robot from the park?” Once, I ordered food in a hotel. Soon, my phone beeped. A robot had delivered my lunch to the door! It was short and friendly, telling me, “Please take your food while it’s warm.” In factories, millions of robots work every day, helping to make cars, phones, and even hospital beds. My wife bought a smart bed for her mom, and the box read, “Welded (焊接) by robots.” Robots are amazing. Some help people at home, while others work in factories. They aren’t perfect yet, and some say robots don’t understand people well. But I believe they will get better. In the future, robots may even take care of the elderly.

D．Guarded. 4．What can we infer about the writer’s opinion on robots? A．He thinks robots are perfect now. B．He is excited about robots’ future. C．He worries robots will replace humans. D．He believes robots will never understand people. 5．What is the best title for the passage?
