Although she faced challenges because of a physical disability (残疾), Ella’s love for life stayed strong. One sunny afternoon, Ella went into the garden behind her house.

As Ella went deeper into the garden, she came across many challenges. With Oliver by her side, she overcame each one with the 6 of love that comes from the bottom of her heart.

I felt completely 1 spending weeks or even months—in my hometown or sometimes even on my block—without going anywhere. I could be quite satisfied by watching The Discovery and National Geographic Channels. The situation 2 when one day David, my best friend, rushed into my room and talked me into joining him on his journey to the Rocky Mountains. We set off five days later. This was my first time in the mountains. 3 , the weather was foggy most of the time, and the higher we got into the mountains, the less clearly we could see. On the first day, we were making our way along the foothills; but the next day, we started to climb one of the peaks. 4 the path was rough and steep, I still pushed myself to go faster and ended up 5 long before we got to the top. When we finally got there, nothing had really changed. The same fog was nearly covering everything. I felt so disappointed, because I had, during the whole course of climbing, 6 to see the view from above and perhaps to be able to take some photos. We spent a couple of hours on the top, and decided to turn back, when the wind suddenly 7 the fog, and the valley below unfolded in front of us. The place we were standing on was brightened with the sun. I saw a fantastic panorama (全景图) in front of me, and for some moments I couldn’t believe my eyes. It was so amazing that I realized I couldn’t help looking forward to the next trip to the mountains. The next day we returned—my 8 started to hurt so badly that I could hardly walk.

Mr. Truman had named Amber and Jesse the two team captains, and they were choosing their teammates by who were the best athletes. That meant Susan was left last. “Susan, you’re with me,” Amber said, sounding 2 . Susan lowered her head and joined her team on the court. If only her classmates knew she was pretty good at basketball. Her older brother had taught her how to make a free throw, but Susan was sure no one in her class would give her a 3 to show them. Once everyone was in position, Mr. Truman blew his whistle to start the game. Jesse’s team was very aggressive (咄咄逼人的). They 4 all the players on Amber’s team, except for Susan. The girl who was supposed to cover Susan was blocking (阻挡) Amber from passing the ball. Susan moved across the court and met Amber’s eyes. She reached her hands out to show Amber she was 5 . Amber turned and looked for someone else to throw the ball to, but everyone was covered. Susan lowered her arms thinking Amber was going to throw the ball away before she gave Susan a chance. But Amber passed the ball, bouncing (弹跳) it under the arms of the two girls blocking her. Susan 6 the ball and stared (盯着) at it, still in shock that Amber had passed it to her. “Shoot!” Amber shouted. Susan squared her feet (摆好姿势) and lined up her shot. She threw the ball and watched it fall through the net. Susan’s teammates 7 . “Great shot!” Amber said, walking over to Susan. “Thanks,” Susan said. “My brother taught me how to play. We shoot baskets almost every night.” “You should come out and play with our team,” Amber said. “My friends and I play in a league at the park every Saturday.” Susan thought about that. She thought playing basketball with the other girls would be fun. And, if she joined the basketball team, maybe she wouldn’t be picked 8 in gym anymore. “I think I will,” Susan said with a smile. 1．A．baseball B．football C．basketball D．volleyball 2．A．nervous B．excited C．relaxed D．disappointed 3．A．preparation B．chance C．suggestion D．lesson 4．A．covered B．greeted C．followed D．helped 5．A．open B．busy C．tired D．fast 6．A．needed B．passed C．caught D．threw 7．A．complained B．argued C．moved D．cheered 8．A．first B．quickly C．last D．early Passage 4 （25-26九年级上·北京西城·期中）When I was sixteen, I got my first job at a local bakery. I was so excited and eager to do everything perfectly. One busy Saturday afternoon, a customer walked up to the counter (柜台), her face red with anger. “This cookie is not fresh” she shouted, putting a half-eaten cookie down heavily in front of me. “I want you to give my money back right now!” My heart started pounding. I felt attacked and my first thought was to get defensive (防御的). “It’s not bad,” I thought. “We bake everything fresh every morning!” I was about to say exactly that when I remembered my manager’s 1 : “The customer isn’t always right, but they always need to be heard.” I took a deep breath—a small but important act to calm myself down. Instead of firing back, I made a choice for my personal growth. I looked at her and said, as 2 as I could, “I’m so sorry you’re disappointed. Let me get you a fresh one from what we just cooled.” I went to the back and 3 the biggest and softest chocolate chip cookie I could find. Then I 4 it on a little plate, and brought it to her. “Here you go, on the house. I really hope you like this one.” The woman was completely taken aback. The anger disappeared from her 5 , replaced by surprise and then a bit of embarrassment (尴尬). “Oh… well… thank you,” she said. She didn’t just take the cookie and leave. She stayed, finished her coffee, and before she left, she came back to the counter and said, “You know, that was actually very nice of you. Thank you, young lady.” At that moment, I learned a powerful lesson about solving problems. The problem wasn’t really the cookie. The problem was that the customer felt she was not heard and disrespected. By choosing not to argue, I 6 the situation by making the customer less angry. By listening and offering a simple and kind solution, I didn’t just solve her problem—I turned a negative experience into a positive one. That cookie didn’t just teach me about customer service; it taught me a life skill. You can’t control how other people 7 , but you can always control how you react. Choosing 8 and kindness over anger is a superpower. It keeps you safe from unnecessary troubles, helps you grow into a wiser person, and almost always leads to a better solution. 1．A．advice B．victory C．address D．message 2．A．quickly B．naturally C．calmly D．simply 3．A．tried out B．picked out C．came round D．handed in 4．A．headed B．found C．handed D．placed 5．A．wound B．face C．order D．body 6．A．started B．made C．improved D．finished 7．A．argue B．shout C．grow D．act 8．A．discussion B．communication C．patience D．fighting Passage 5 （25-26九年级上·北京顺义·期中）Two months ago, I was breathing heavily in my first high-level gym class. I wasn’t sure if I could finish the one-hour class. In the room, I seemed to be the only one who was suffering from this class. Everyone else wore tight sports clothes and didn’t look tired at all—they seemed to fit in here. But me? With messy hair and big, loose clothes, I 1 why I even came. Early last year, I decided to give fitness a real shot. All my life, exercise had made me feel bad. At school, gym class was always a problem for me. Every time we had the gym class, I felt like a 2 person in the room—like I didn’t belong. Then one Sunday morning, I 3 went to my university’s gym for a spin class (动感单车课程). I thought about canceling so many times, but I told myself: just going to the class was all that 4 . When I first tried to stand on the bike pedals (踏板), my legs were 5 . I felt like I didn’t have enough strength to finish. But as I took more classes, my 6 grew. I stopped worrying so much about how I looked. Instead, I could focus on my exercising—like thinking about a problem I had or daydreaming about the future. Soon, the spin class became my favorite time of the week. The more I rode the bike, the more I realized how strong my body was. I’d never felt so proud of what my body could be strong. After nine months of spin classes, I wanted to 7 myself again. That’s how I ended up in that high-level gym class. Spin classes helped me get used to moving my body, but this new class taught me I needed to work hard to get fitter. All in all, what really matters is 8 —not what you wear or how good you are at exercise. 1．A．knew B．supported C．wondered D．noticed 2．A．strange B．peaceful C．lucky D．magic 3．A．angrily B．nervously C．boringly D．happily 4．A．mattered B．remained C．happened D．lasted 5．A．shaking B．changing C．waving D．moving 6．A．happiness B．fear C．confidence D．knowledge 7．A．protect B．manage C．express D．challenge 8．A．showing up B．breaking in C．putting up D．paying off Passage 6 （25-26九年级上·北京大兴·期中）阅读下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。 My cousin Mariana came to stay with us last summer. We hadn’t seen each other for 10 years, so I was a little 1 that we might not get along well. Luckily, we hit it off right from the start.

But without a second thought, she said she couldn’t go — she didn’t bring a swimsuit. Then I laid out some swimsuits on my bed so she could choose one. After a short silence, she tried one on. But I could 3 she still had something on her mind. The day before the party, Mariana said she forgot to pack her sunscreen (防晒霜). She 4 that it was a special kind for her sensitive (敏感的) skin. However, when mom gave her the same kind, she seemed a little disappointed. That was when I was sure that there must be something else. After dinner, while we were washing dishes, I 5 said, “I’m getting the feeling that you really don’t want to go to the pool party. Is something wrong?” Mariana sighed (叹气). “I’m afraid of swimming pools. I get really scared when my feet can’t touch the bottom.” “I am so glad you told me!” Then I 6 her it was okay not to swim because nobody would care about that. I told her we could spend the whole time enjoying food and playing fun games. Finally, Mariana bravely agreed to give it a try. The next day turned out to be cool and cloudy, so most people didn’t even go into the 7 ! Mariana got along unbelievably well with everyone! So, it may seem easier to make up excuses, but real friends who care about you will always prefer to know the 8 . 1．A．afraid B．excited C．tired D．relaxed 2．A．avoid B．leave C．meet D．help 3．A．create B．tell C．accept D．remember 4．A．believed B．shouted C．suggested D．explained 5．A．loudly B．carefully C．quickly D．proudly 6．A．showed B．brought C．promised D．warned 7．A．pool B．house C．gym D．library 8．A．story B．answer C．secret D．truth Passage 7 （24-25九年级上·北京海淀·期中）阅读下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。 When I tried out for the football team during the summer before 9th grade, I never imagined how important this sport would become in my life.

On September 29, bus driver Raquel Baker began her work just like any other driver and was about to drop off students at the school gate when something went wrong. Video from the school bus showed 7-year-old Preston putting something in his 1 and then dropping down between the seats, clearly in danger. It was hard for the boy to 2 a word but he managed to mention something about a coin. Baker 3 stood up, took hold of him and ran out of the bus. “On my way to the sidewalk, I was actually performing the Heimlich maneuver (海姆利克氏操作法),” she said. Preston hardly breathed, and Baker didn’t waste any time jumping into action. The whole time she was saying, “Baby, breathe, baby, breathe.” Preston was blue in the face. Baker saw a parent and asked her to call 911. “All I could think of was that I had to 4 this boy,” Baker said. She had never performed the Heimlich before, but her training on first aid given by the school one month ago worked. “I was 5 at the time, but I just couldn’t be scared,” she said. She didn’t even realize when the 6 flew out of Preston’s mouth until Preston said, “Miss Baker, I’m OK. I can breathe.” Preston’s mum was thankful for Baker’s help. The school’s headmaster was also touched and 7 her for her life-saving work. “As of today, I’m still in shock. I really can’t believe that this actually happened. I didn’t really realize what a big difference I made,” Baker said.

What made me sad is that Grace only got the part of the March Hare. “Do you want to practice together with me?” I asked her after that. “Sorry, I’m busy this week,” said Grace 2 , without looking at me. “And I will be always busy.” That night at dinner, my parents noticed I was not excited about getting the leading role. They 3 what happened and asked me why. “Well, Grace was not picked to be the leading role—Alice, but I was. She was unhappy. Maybe she will throw away our friendship.” My father said, “Don’t worry about it. I think this is a 4 for you to be an extra-good friend.” “Dad is right,” said my mother. “Sometimes when our friends do well, we may have feelings of envy (嫉妒) and become green-eyed monsters and don’t know how to 5 . Try giving her a little time, space and understanding, and she will change her mind soon.” Over the next week, I tried my best to give Grace some 6 . We had less conversation than before. Then one day, on the way to our practice, I met her. “I just want to say you are such a great actress when acting as the March Hare.” I said to her with a bright smile on my face.

But somehow, the situation quickly turned into a total disaster. At first, I tried to 1 Lilly with her favorite puzzle, but she got bored after a while. Then, I suggested reading her favorite book, but she threw it halfway across the room before we even reached the middle. I needed to 2 her down, and fast. Looking around the room, I noticed the mini basketball hoop (圈) attached to my door with two suction cups (吸盘). Inspiration struck (猛地想到). I pulled it down and stuck it on my forehead. It must have looked 3 , because Lilly started laughing immediately. Encouraged, I pulled the hoop off my head with a loud sound POP! Lilly clapped and laughed, saying, “Do again!” We 4 this several times, and her laughter filled the room. After a few 5 , Lilly suddenly stopped and pointed at my forehead. “Circles!”she said. At first, I didn’t understand, but when I checked the mirror, I saw two bright red, perfectly round circles on my forehead where the suction cups had been. When Mom walked into the room later, she was shocked, trying to hold back a laugh. “What happened?” she asked. I explained the situation. Although Mom tried to stay serious, I could tell she found it funny. By the next morning, the red circles had turned into dark purple marks, making me afraid of going to school. At lunch, my best friend Pete 6 them curiously. “Jake, what’s up with your head?” he asked loudly. Instead of hiding, I decided to tell the truth. “I stuck a basketball hoop on my head to make my sister laugh.” To my surprise, my friends didn’t laugh at me. Instead, they started sharing their own embarrassing stories, turning my disaster into a moment of 7 .

Soon a special element bismuth (铋) 1 me. It has amazing colors and unique shapes. Whenever there was a chance, I’d talk about it again and again, but some classmates would roll their eyes and let out a strange laugh. One day, I was in a terrible mood, and decided to play games on the school pad when the lab work was done. However, Ms. Hale stressed her rule: only homework is allowed, no drawing or games, which did 2 my mood. I sank in my chair, thinking angrily, “Why can’t she just cut us a break? What a stupid teacher!” My 3 seemed to grow blindly until Ms. Hale asked me to go over. At that moment, I thought that I’d spoken my thoughts out loud and she had heard me! My heart began to race, but my movement was very 4 . I felt it might last ages before I reached her desk. To my surprise, she handed me a small soft bag and said, “I went to a science teachers’ fair yesterday. Open it and see what I got for you.” I slowly opened it. A tiny shining bismuth crystal came into view. “I saw this and thought you would love it,” she continued. I froze for a moment—and then smiled from ear to ear. I thanked her until I ran out of 5 . But as I sat back down, staring at that crystal, regret washed over me. Here I’d been 6 her, but she’d remembered what I loved, going out of her way to bring me a gift. Memories flooded back: she always made her classes engaging; she would stay after school to explain my questions; she would listen patiently when I 7 my love for bismuth. For the rest of the year, I tried to make up for my ill thoughts. I helped her carry lab supplies to the classroom, stayed late to organize her element posters, and once, we even chatted about bismuth’s uses in medicine. I told her again how much the crystal meant—not just a gift, but a chance for a teacher and a student to 8 each other. 1．A．scared B．confused C．changed D．interested 2．A．soften B．worsen C．lessen D．brighten 3．A．joy B．hope C．anger D．sadness 4．A．slow B．limited C．beautiful D．silent 5．A．words B．money C．strength D．patience 6．A．blackmailing B．badmouthing C．highlighting D．whitewashing 7．A．hid B．lost C．repeated D．developed 8．A．see B．comfort C．face D．praise Passage 4 （25-26九年级上·北京昌平·期中）阅读下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。 Liam had always wanted to learn how to paint. He had spent years admiring beautiful artworks in museums and online, but he had never picked up a brush himself. “I don’t have the 1 ,” he would always say. But deep down, he knew that he was just afraid of failing. One afternoon, as he walked past a small art workshop, he saw a 2 in the window: “Painting Class for Beginners—Join Today!” Without thinking too much, he pushed the door open and walked inside. The instructor, a kind-looking woman named Ms. Oliver, welcomed him with a warm smile. “Have you 3 before?” she asked. “No,” Liam admitted (承认). “I don’t think I’m very good at drawing.” “Well,” she said, handing him a brush, “you’ll never know unless you try.” Liam took a deep breath and put his brush into the paint. At first, his hands felt shaky, and his strokes (笔触) were 4 . But as time passed, he slowly learned some skills. “You’re doing great,” Ms. Oliver encouraged him. “Art is about 5 yourself, not about being perfect.” Liam nodded, feeling excitement. By the end of the class, he had created a simple but colorful painting of a sunset. It wasn’t perfect, but it was his. As he packed up his things, he turned to Ms. Oliver. “I never thought I could do this,” he said. She smiled. “The only real failure is not starting. Keep painting, and you’ll see yourself 6 .” Liam left the workshop that day with a new sense of achievement. Maybe he wasn’t an artist yet, but he had taken the first step, and that was what 7 . A few weeks later, he hung his first painting in his living room. Every time he looked at it, he felt proud—not because it was perfect, but because it was proof that he had tried. And from that day on, whenever someone told him they were afraid to taste something new, he would smile and say, “You’ll never know unless you begin.” His words were simple, but they 8 the power of experience. And who knew?

My notebook was filled with notes about the drama club: their spring play The Little Prince, including the actors’ connection with the audience, even the warm stage lights. I’d dreamed of joining for years, but there I stood, feet glued to the ground, with the audition (试镜) form shaking in my sweaty hand. The thought of speaking in front of strangers made my heart race, and I could hardly hold the form firmly because my hands were wet. Suddenly a clear voice called my name. When I heard it, my hands shook a little and I nearly 1 the form. The drama club booth was full of people and it felt busy. Posters of past plays lined the table, and a lot of well-worn scripts (剧本) sat beside a half-empty box of “Drama Club Family” stickers. Mia, the club president who’d played the lead in The Little Prince, was busy helping nervous applicants (应试者) practice their lines. Her easy confidence only increased my anxiety, and I stepped forward little by little. Then I suddenly felt really scared, so I quickly 2 into the crowd, hoping to fit in with onlookers. But she’d already found me. “You’ve stayed here since the fair started!” she said, waving me over. My throat tightened as I moved forward. She handed me a thin script. “Just two lines. Give it a try.” I nodded, but when I opened my mouth, my voice came out 3 . Soft giggles from the side made my face burn. “I can’t,” I replied softly. “I am afraid that I’ll only 4 the team down. I freeze up in front of people.” Mia pulled out an old script from her bag. Its cover was worn, with pencil notes like “Slow down and build up the surprise here!” “This is mine from the first year,” she said. “I forgot three lines opening night, froze mid-stage, then ran off. The club waited while I tried to 5 up the courage to come back.” She sat beside me and said, “Read this like we’re talking alone.” We practiced five times, her guidance controlling my voice. When I finished, she grinned and said, “You’ve got so much 6 , so there is no need to hold yourself back.” The next day, I arrived early. A new student stayed nearby, holding his form like a lifeline, exactly as I’d looked. I walked over, handing him Mia’s old script. “Start with this,” I said. “This is how I found my 7 .” He nodded and began reading. A week later, I watched him deliver lines calmly. Mia caught my eye and winked—a gesture I’d seen our drama teacher give her last year. Suddenly, it hit me that courage isn’t just found within, but it’s passed on. In that moment, I knew I’d found a place where that courage could keep 8 .

Suddenly, we heard a loud rustling (沙沙声), and hundreds of birds shot up from the trees, flying into the sky in huge circles above us. “Wow!” I cried. “It’s a 7 !” “Migration (迁徙) season,” Dad said. “These birds travel through California every spring—millions of them!” We never made it to Aunt Jenny’s farm, but that didn’t matter.

We spent a couple of hours on the top, and decided to turn back, when the wind suddenly 7 the fog, and the valley below unfolded in front of us.

I was so excited and eager to do everything perfectly. One busy Saturday afternoon, a customer walked up to the counter (柜台), her face red with anger. “This cookie is not fresh” she shouted, putting a half-eaten cookie down heavily in front of me. “I want you to give my money back right now!” My heart started pounding. I felt attacked and my first thought was to get defensive (防御的). “It’s not bad,” I thought. “We bake everything fresh every morning!” I was about to say exactly that when I remembered my manager’s 1 : “The customer isn’t always right, but they always need to be heard.” I took a deep breath—a small but important act to calm myself down. Instead of firing back, I made a choice for my personal growth. I looked at her and said, as 2 as I could, “I’m so sorry you’re disappointed. Let me get you a fresh one from what we just cooled.” I went to the back and 3 the biggest and softest chocolate chip cookie I could find. Then I 4 it on a little plate, and brought it to her. “Here you go, on the house. I really hope you like this one.” The woman was completely taken aback. The anger disappeared from her 5 , replaced by surprise and then a bit of embarrassment (尴尬). “Oh… well… thank you,” she said. She didn’t just take the cookie and leave. She stayed, finished her coffee, and before she left, she came back to the counter and said, “You know, that was actually very nice of you. Thank you, young lady.” At that moment, I learned a powerful lesson about solving problems. The problem wasn’t really the cookie. The problem was that the customer felt she was not heard and disrespected. By choosing not to argue, I 6 the situation by making the customer less angry. By listening and offering a simple and kind solution, I didn’t just solve her problem—I turned a negative experience into a positive one.

I wasn’t sure if I could finish the one-hour class. In the room, I seemed to be the only one who was suffering from this class. Everyone else wore tight sports clothes and didn’t look tired at all—they seemed to fit in here. But me? With messy hair and big, loose clothes, I 1 why I even came. Early last year, I decided to give fitness a real shot. All my life, exercise had made me feel bad. At school, gym class was always a problem for me. Every time we had the gym class, I felt like a 2 person in the room—like I didn’t belong. Then one Sunday morning, I 3 went to my university’s gym for a spin class (动感单车课程). I thought about canceling so many times, but I told myself: just going to the class was all that 4 . When I first tried to stand on the bike pedals (踏板), my legs were 5 . I felt like I didn’t have enough strength to finish. But as I took more classes, my 6 grew. I stopped worrying so much about how I looked. Instead, I could focus on my exercising—like thinking about a problem I had or daydreaming about the future. Soon, the spin class became my favorite time of the week. The more I rode the bike, the more I realized how strong my body was. I’d never felt so proud of what my body could be strong. After nine months of spin classes, I wanted to 7 myself again. That’s how I ended up in that high-level gym class. Spin classes helped me get used to moving my body, but this new class taught me I needed to work hard to get fitter.

My notebook was filled with notes about the drama club: their spring play The Little Prince, including the actors’ connection with the audience, even the warm stage lights. I’d dreamed of joining for years, but there I stood, feet glued to the ground, with the audition (试镜) form shaking in my sweaty hand.

When I heard it, my hands shook a little and I nearly 1 the form. The drama club booth was full of people and it felt busy. Posters of past plays lined the table, and a lot of well-worn scripts (剧本) sat beside a half-empty box of “Drama Club Family” stickers. Mia, the club president who’d played the lead in The Little Prince, was busy helping nervous applicants (应试者) practice their lines. Her easy confidence only increased my anxiety, and I stepped forward little by little. Then I suddenly felt really scared, so I quickly 2 into the crowd, hoping to fit in with onlookers. But she’d already found me. “You’ve stayed here since the fair started!” she said, waving me over. My throat tightened as I moved forward. She handed me a thin script. “Just two lines.

Its cover was worn, with pencil notes like “Slow down and build up the surprise here!” “This is mine from the first year,” she said. “I forgot three lines opening night, froze mid-stage, then ran off. The club waited while I tried to 5 up the courage to come back.” She sat beside me and said, “Read this like we’re talking alone.” We practiced five times, her guidance controlling my voice. When I finished, she grinned and said, “You’ve got so much 6 , so there is no need to hold yourself back.” The next day, I arrived early. A new student stayed nearby, holding his form like a lifeline, exactly as I’d looked. I walked over, handing him Mia’s old script. “Start with this,” I said. “This is how I found my 7 .” He nodded and began reading. A week later, I watched him deliver lines calmly.
