He said, “I never stopped, like a bird going after the warmth of the sun.” F 6 , he succeeded in developing new kinds of rice plants. One produced 30% more rice than normal plants.

Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·天津·期中）Chinese Wushu (kung fu) is an important part of Chinese traditional culture. And it is probably one of the e 1 sports. It dates back to the primitive society (可追溯到原始社会). At that time, people used sticks (木棍) to fight a 2 wild animals. Gradually (逐渐地) they learned skills to protect themselves. During the Shang Dynasty, Wushu began to be used to train s 3 to make them better at fighting. A 4 it is about fighting, Wushu advocates (提倡) peace i 5 of violence (暴力). This has been the common value shared by martial artists  (武术家) from generation to generation (代代相传). The most famous Wushu star is certainly Bruce Lee. He was the founder of Jeet Kune Do (截拳道) and made Chinese Wushu p 6 around the world. Every year, many Wushu groups travel a 7 to put on Wushu shows, trying to improve the influence of Wushu in foreign countries. Through their efforts, Wushu has b 8 better-known across the world, especially among young people. Studies show that today about 120 million people are i 9 in Chinese Wushu around the world . As a special event (活动), Wushu appeared at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and the 2014 Nanjing Youth Olympic Games. In January, 2020, China got Wushu accepted as an official (正式的) Olympic sport, which h 10 make it more international.

Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·天津滨海新区·期中）根据首字母提示，在空白处填上适当的单词使短文意思完整、通顺。 This story took place during the Warring States period (战国时期). At that time, kings would often exchange (交换) each other’s sons as hostages (人质) to p 1 their own countries. Now it was the prince (王子) of Wei’s turn. He was going to be a hostage in Handan, the capital of Zhao. Pang Cong, a great leader, was going with him. B 2 they left, Pang Cong said to the king of Wei, “If someone comes to report that he sees a tiger in the market, will Your Majesty (陛下) believe it?” “Of course not,” the king answered. “If a s 3 man comes to say the same thing, will Your Majesty believe it?” “I start to think about it.” “Then, if a third man comes with the same thing, will Your Majesty believe it?” “I think I will believe it is t 4 .” “Well, we all know we can’t see a tiger in the market. B 5 since three men say the same thing, everyone now believes there is a tiger there. Handan is much f 6 from our capital than the market is from here, and more than three people will say bad words b 7 my back when I am away! “I know what to do,” the king said impatiently. But after Pang Cong left, the king’s e 8 were filled with bad words about him. When Pang Cong returned to Wei with the prince, the king didn’t trust (信任) him any m 9 . So, “three men make a tiger” means that if a lie is repeated (重复) often e 10 , people may start to believe it. Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·天津·期中）The customer is always right In 1909, an American named Harry Selfridge went to Britain and opened a store on London’s Oxford Street. It was called Selfridge’s and it offered a new kind of shopping e 1 . It was built like a large palace. Shoppers could walk from floor to floor to buy clothes, furniture, toys and a variety of other items, each in its own department. Selfridge’s “department” store made shopping convenient and enjoyable. It treated its customers like k 2 . As Harry liked to say, “The customer is always right.” Selfridge’s department store idea caught on worldwide. In 1918, the Kwok brothers, from Australia, opened their Yong’an Department Store on Nanjing Road in Shanghai. It’s still there today. However, its f 3 , along with that of other department stores, may be in question. Modern shoppers are giving up on shopping at department stores. I 4 , shoppers are spending their money at specialty stores. They are buying their clothes at Uniqlo and H&M, and their furniture and household goods at IKEA．These specialty stores offer more c 5 , better prices, better services and a better in-store experience. Department stores are also challenged (挑战) b 6 the Internet. The Internet now accounts for (占) 20 percent of all consumer purchases and the number is g 7 every year. If you need evidence (证据), just look at the popularity of Singles’ Day. China, in general, has become a consumer society. People now spend about 30 trillion (万亿) yuan o 8 shopping every year. That’s a lot of money. Stores know that they will have to change if they hope to s 9 . It’s no less true today t 10 it was in Harry Selfridge’s time—the customer is always right.

His students did not understand the assignment (任务), but the professor would not answer their questions. He e 2 his students to find it out for themselves. One week later, the students entered the classroom excited to s 3 their stories. One student told of distributing (分发) blankets to the homeless, another had contacted (联系) a long-lost friend, and another student reported that he had h 4 a dog to find its owner. Students were energized (激励) by the homework assignment and wanted other people to be kind too. W 5 the support of local businesses, the students made stickers to put on cars that invited people to do something k 6 for others. They sold the stickers and decided to donate the money to a center for the blind—not surprising as Professor Wall is blind. S 7 then, similar kindness activities have been organized in schools all over the w 8 . Many schools organize a Random Acts of Kindness Week, around November 13, to celebrate World Kindness Day. Some schools use each day of Random Acts of Kindness Week to perform d 9 kind acts, such as m 10 a new friend, helping someone, doing community (社团) service, or raising money for a charity. Students learn to consider other people and think about how small actions can make the world a better place.

B 1 have you ever imagined that one day you can learn herb planting and TCM courses at school? A primary school in Nanjing has just o 2 a herb farm. More than 30 herbs are planted. Besides growing herbs, students there are guided by doctors from a TCM hospital to tell d 3 herbs and learn plant development and medicinal value. The hospital has also donated over 100 cartoon books about TCM to help draw children’s a 4 to herbal medicine. Another middle school has i 5 TCM courses to students of all grades. These courses contain a basic k 6 of herbs, herb planting, and cooking with herbs. They give students a deeper understanding of TCM, making them feel p 7 of Chinese traditions and the country’s rich culture. Also in Shanghai, Tongji University has provided foreign students w 8 some chances to plant the different kinds of herbs because these herbs are w 9 used in Chinese medicine and cooking. By taking care of the plants, foreign students can get firsthand experience of making herbal medicine from start to finish, and spread TCM culture to their o 10 countries. The herb planting courses at schools and universities across China get students close to TCM and help pass on the tradition.

But that’s not always t 1 . Sometimes the real cause is something else, and an old Chinese story called Qi Fa (《七发》) can help you think more about this. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the prince (王子) of Chu often felt weak and unwell. He had no energy to do anything, even s 2 things like walking in the garden. His family invited many doctors, who gave him all kinds of medicine, but nothing w 3 . Then a wise man named Wu Ke heard about his trouble and went to visit. After talking, Wu Ke said, “Your body is h 4 . The real problem is in your mind (思想) and lifestyle.” He explained medicine couldn’t solve the problem—only good, life—changing suggestions would help. Wu Ke pointed out the prince’s bad habits: he lived a very comfortable life, with servants (仆人) taking care of him all the time. He h 5 walked, always traveling by carriage (马车), and ate too much oily food that was h 6 to digest (消化). He also never did things that challenged (挑战) his mind. To help him get better, Wu Ke a 7 him to change his lifestyle—doing more outdoor activities like hunting in the woods or traveling to other cities. Most importantly, he told the prince to talk with wise people about how to improve morals (道德), learn to govern (治理) the state, and make his mind active again. The prince f 8 the advice. He exercised, ate lighter meals, and talked with wise men. S 9 , his energy came back, and he took an interest in state affairs (国务). It turned out that changing his m 10 and lifestyle was the key to getting better. Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·天津和平·期中）根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使短文意思完整。每空限填一词。 Do you eat popcorn (爆米花) at the movies? People have eaten popcorn in movie theaters since the early 1900s. However, popcorn is m 1 older than the movies. In fact, it’s one of the oldest snack foods in the world. People first started g 2 corn for food in Mexico long ago. Corn spread all over America from there. Ancient Americans ground (磨) corn into flour. They also popped corn o 3 a fire as a snack. Over time, popcorn grew more and more p 4 . It was a snack people usually made for themselves at home, in small amounts. That all changed when Charles Cretors invented the first popcorn-popping machine in 1885. It popped corn quickly and e 5 . It also had wheels. As a result, popcorn could be sold on the streets. However, one group didn’t love the snack in the beginning: movie theater owners! Popcorn was not a 6 in movie theaters in the early 1900s. Theater owners worried that popcorn was too noisy and messy. They tried to keep popcorn out, but that didn’t last long. In the 1930s, the United States went t 7 a difficult time called the Great Depression (经济大萧条). Many people lost their j 8 , and most people had very little money. Popcorn sellers, like everyone else, were looking for ways to make a living. They began to go into movie theaters, walking around to sell popcorn. This turned out to be a great idea. Popcorn t 9 good, and it was cheap. In fact, it was one of the few snacks most people could afford during the Depression. Finally, movie theater owners figured out that they could make money by selling popcorn t 10 , then theaters began to sell popcorn and other snacks, with great success.
