专题07 阅读回答问题 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·四川成都·期中）根据短文内容，按要求回答问题。 Started in 2022, the Huajiang Grand Canyon (峡谷) Bridge — the world’s highest bridge — opened to traffic in late September 2025. About twice the height of the Eiffel Tower (埃菲尔铁塔), the bridge is also the longest bridge in the mountainous areas. The whole bridge is 2,890 meters long, 625 meters tall, and its two towers look like ancient Chinese jars (罐子). Why is such a bridge built? Guizhou Province has many mountains and difficult areas. This bridge is part of a new highway that will cut travel time across the canyon from about one hour to two minutes! It’ll help interest more tourists to places nearby such as the famous Huangguoshu Waterfall. However, it wasn’t easy to build it. Steel pieces weighed 22,000 tons. Crazy winds and sudden weather changes in the canyon made it face more difficulties. To deal with these problems, engineers used modern technologies. They even created a special system to check how the wind moved. “The completion of the bridge will be good for economic (经济的) strength, even though the project is full of risk,” said Chen Jianlei, the main engineer. Li Zhao, another engineer of the project, said, “Seeing my work become something tangible — watching the bridge grow day by day and finally stand tall above the canyon gives me a great sense of achievement and pride.” 1．How long does it take to build Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge? 2．What is the second paragraph about? 3．Why is such a bridge built? (at least 2 points) 4．What does the word in bold “tangible” mean? 5．According to the passage, what do the engineers think of their job? 【答案】1．About three years. 2．It introduces the length, height and shape of the bridge. 3．It can greatly cut travel time across the canyon, and it helps attract more tourists to nearby places. 4．It means something that can be seen and touched. 5．They think the project is full of difficulties and risks, but they get a strong sense of achievement and pride when they see the completed bridge standing above the canyon. 【导语】本文主要介绍了世界最高桥梁——花江峡谷大桥的基本信息、建设原因、面临的困难以及工程师们的感受。 1．第一段中“Started in 2022, the Huajiang Grand Canyon (峡谷) Bridge — the world’s highest bridge — opened to traffic in late September 2025.”说明了大桥2022年开工，2025年9月底通车，计算可知，建设时长约3年。 2．第二段“The whole bridge is 2,890 meters long, 625 meters tall, and its two towers look like ancient Chinese jars (罐子).”可知，明确给出了大桥的总长度、高度，以及桥塔形似中国古代陶罐的外形特征。答题时注意词性转换：原文形容词long/tall，答题转换为名词length/height。 3．第三段中“This bridge is part of a new highway that will cut travel time across the canyon from about one hour to two minutes! It’ll help interest more tourists to places nearby such as the famous Huangguoshu Waterfall.”介绍了建造桥梁的两个核心原因：缩短通行时间，以及吸引更多游客。几乎直接提取信息。 4．结合划线词后文的解释“watching the bridge grow day by day and finally stand tall above the canyon...”，看着大桥一天天成型，矗立在峡谷之上，说明tangible指“能够看见、触摸到的、实实在在存在的东西”。 5．整合最后一段中两位工程师的观点可知，他们认为大桥建设项目本身充满困难与风险，但建成大桥能带来强烈的成就感与自豪感。 Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·四川成都·期中）根据短文内容，按要求回答问题。 Rubbish can be seen everywhere even on the highest mountain in the world! Sherpas (夏尔巴人) working on Mount Qomolangma have to go on a four-hour hike across dangerous broken ice to bring rubbish back to the base camp. Now during the climbing season, they have new help from two drones produced by a Chinese company. They can complete the same journey only in six minutes. Drones have been used to transport rubbish from Mount Qomolangma Camp 1, which sits at 6,065 meters above sea level, down to the base camp, about 700 meters below. A drone transports things like ropes up the peak. After that, Sherpas hook (钩) a rubbish-filled bag on the drone. Then the drone takes the rubbish back to the base camp. Between mid-April and mid-May this year, the drones dealt with more than 280 kilograms of rubbish. Using robots can help not only speed up the process but also reduce the danger for the Sherpas who carry rubbish down the mountain. Mount Qomolangma has seen more and more rubbish since the 1990s. The problem is worse at higher campsites, which are also more challenging to clean. Since 2019, the Nepalese (尼泊尔) government and Sherpas have worked together to clean more than 100 tons of waste. In the last ten years, the government has also made rules that require climbers who go above the base camp to carry back at least 8 kilograms of rubbish each, or they will be fined up to $4,000. 1．Who produced the two drones? 2．How long does it take a drone to complete the same journey that Sherpas do? 3．How many steps do the drone and Sherpas work together to deal with the rubbish? 4．What will happen if a climber breaks the rule that the Nepalese government has made? 5．What do you think of the drones? Why do you think so? 【答案】1．A Chinese company. 2．Only six minutes. 3．Three. 4．The climber will be fined up to $4,000. 5．I think they are very helpful. Because they can help speed up the process and reduce the danger for the Sherpas. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了中国公司生产的无人机帮助夏尔巴人清理珠穆朗玛峰上的垃圾，这不仅加快了清理速度，还减少了夏尔巴人运送垃圾下山的危险。 1．第二段第一句明确指出“Now during the climbing season, they have new help from two drones produced by a Chinese company.”。这是原文中的信息，直接提取。 2．第二段最后一句明确指出“They can complete the same journey only in six minutes.”。这是原文中的信息，直接提取。 3．根据第三段“A drone transports things like ropes up the peak. After that, Sherpas hook a rubbish-filled bag on the drone. Then the drone takes the rubbish back to the base camp.”可知，无人机和夏尔巴人合作处理垃圾共需要三个步骤：①无人机将绳索等物品运上山峰；②夏尔巴人将装满垃圾的袋子挂在无人机上；③无人机将垃圾带回大本营。故填Three。 4．第四段最后一句明确指出“In the last ten years, the government has also made rules that require climbers who go above the base camp to carry back at least 8 kilograms of rubbish each, or they will be fined up to $4,000.”。答案几乎是原文引述。 5．本题是开放性试题，答案不唯一。结合文中无人机的作用回答，言之有理即可。 Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·四川成都·期中）根据短文内容，按要求回答问题。 Choosing a career (事业) is a big choice, but it doesn’t have to be scary. Some people already know what they want to do, while others need more time. The key is to find work that matches your interests and skills—you’ll be happier doing what you love. Think about what excites you most. Do you like solving problems and working with numbers? You might want to work in technology or engineering. If you are willing to help people, try fields like healthcare or teaching. However, it’s not only about what you like—your skills matter too. Are you great at talking to people and understanding their needs? Or are you better at solving puzzles and using technology? Some people are amazing at maths and science, while others are born with creativity and communication. You don’t just want a job you’re good at. You also want one that you enjoy. When you join love and skills together, your work becomes less of a “job” and more of something you really enjoy. Moreover, when you love what you do, it’s easier to feel happier at the end of the day. But it’s also important to think about the job market and chances. If you live in a place full of technology companies, jobs in programming or engineering may be more suitable. One more thing: your career path isn’t set in stone. People change careers all the time! It’s okay if you start one job and then decide you want to try something new. What’s important is to keep learning and growing along the way. 1．According to the passage, what is the key to finding a satisfying job? 2．If Mike likes solving problems and working with numbers, what work might he do? 3．What does the underlined phrase “set in stone” in Paragraph 4 mean? 4．No matter what job you do, what is important in the writer’s mind? 5．What do you want to be? Why do you think you can do it well? 【答案】1．The key is to find work that matches your interests and skills. 2．He might be an engineer/a computer programmer./He might work in technology or engineering. 3．It means unchanged/keeping the same./People don’t change careers all the time. 4．It is important to keep learning and growing along the way. 5．I want to be a teacher, because I am good with kids, and I like to help others. 【导语】本文主要讲述了职业选择的相关建议，包括选择职业需结合兴趣与技能、考虑就业市场，同时说明职业道路并非固定不变等内容。 1．根据“The key is to find work that matches your interests and skills—you’ll be happier doing what you love.”可知，关键是找到匹配你兴趣和技能的工作。故填The key is to find work that matches your interests and skills. 2．根据“Do you like solving problems and working with numbers?

Passage 5 （25-26九年级上·四川成都·期中）Read the article and answer the questions. Have you heard of “Buy Nothing Day”? As the name suggests, it encourages people not to buy anything for a whole day. It began in the 1990s in Vancouver, Canada. It was the idea of a man named Kalle Lasn. After making ads for many years, Lasn began to question the ways ads influenced people. Lasn knew that people needed to buy necessary things to eat, live and even enjoy life. But Lasn believed that many ads encouraged people to buy far more than necessary. He thought it hurt people and culture. Lasn tried to help people see the wrong values and ideas in advertising, fighting the idea that happiness comes from buying more. “Buy Nothing Day” was one of his ideas to challenge this. “Buy Nothing Day” is celebrated on the fourth Friday of every November. Lasn chose this day for a very important reason. It is one of the biggest shopping days of the year. People call this day Black Friday. The first “Buy Nothing Day” was celebrated in Canada in 1992. Many other countries also have growing problems with too much buying. Now, over six different countries including the USA, the UK, Germany, France, Japan, are celebrating “Buy Nothing Day”. Some people don’t believe “Buy Nothing Day” can really change culture. It is only one day they say. Other people say that shoppers should not just cut down their shopping quantity (数量), but also increase their shopping quality (质量). But “Buy Nothing Day” does get people thinking about the bad influences of buying too much. 1．When is “Buy Nothing Day”? 2．Who came up with the idea of “Buy Nothing Day”? 3．How many countries celebrate this day now? 4．Why don’t some people believe this day can change culture? 5．Are you for or against “Buy Nothing Day”?

Passage 6 （25-26九年级上·四川成都·期中）Recently, Chinese food has swept across the Western world, and few dishes have attracted as much attention as Sichuan food. Famous for the twin sensations of ma and la, Sichuan food offers a flavor that feels both adventurous and addictive. Westerners are no longer satisfied with mild tastes; many now actively search for the typical spices of Sichuan cooking. Mapo tofu, a famous Síchuan dish, is loved for its spicy taste. Here is a simple way to make it. First, cut soft tofu into small pieces. Second, fry some beef in a pan until it changes color. Then, add Sichuan chili bean paste and peppercorns to the beef to create the spicy and numbing flavor. Finally, add the tofu cubes and a little water, and cook everything together for a few minutes. Hot pot is also called Mala huoguo. Many Westerners think hot pot is the hottest and spiciest dish. It is a social meal and everyone cooks their own food in the pot while talking. They also think hot pot is a sign of a brave person if a person can eat a Sichuan hot pot meal without drinking cold water. Kung Pao Chicken, also known as Gongbao Jiding, enjoys high popularity. Its name comes from a famous officer named Ding Baozhen, who is also called “Gongbao”. There is a well-known story behind it: one day, Ding tasted a delicious dish of fried chicken with peanuts. He liked it so much that he asked his own cook to learn to make it. Because of Ding Baozhen’s fame, people named the dish “Gongbao Jiding” in his honor. Sichuan food’s rise in the West shows more than a trend (趋势) toward spicy food; it shows a growing interest in the Chinese culture and a willingness to try unfamiliar dishes. Through a bowl of Mapo tofu or a lively hot-pot night, Westerners can learn stories and values from our culture bite by bite. 1．What are the “twin sensations” that make Sichuan food famous? 2．As Sichuan dishes, what do Mapo tofu and hot pot have in common? 3．What can make Westerners regard you as a brave person? 4．Why was Kung Pao Chicken named after Ding Baozhen? 5．Do you think Sichuan food can be a cultural bridge? Why? 【答案】1．Ma and la. 2．They are both spicy. 3．Eating a Sichuan hot pot meal without drinking cold water. 4．Because Ding Baozhen liked the dish and asked his cook to learn to make it, and people named it in his honor. 5．Yes, because Sichuan food shows Westerners’ growing interest in Chinese culture and willingness to try unfamiliar dishes. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了川菜在西方世界的流行及其文化意义，并详细描述了三道经典川菜（麻婆豆腐、火锅、宫保鸡丁）的特点和背后的故事。 1．根据“Famous for the twin sensations of ma and la, Sichuan food offers a flavor that feels both adventurous and addictive.”可知，川菜以“麻”和“辣”的双重感觉闻名。故填Ma and la. 2．根据“Mapo tofu, a famous Sichuan dish, is loved for its spicy taste.”和第3段“Hot pot is also called Mala huoguo. Many Westerners think hot pot is the hottest and spiciest dish.”可知，麻婆豆腐和火锅的共同点是它们都很辣。故填They are both spicy. 3．根据“They also think hot pot is a sign of a brave person if a person can eat a Sichuan hot pot meal without drinking cold water.”可知，西方人认为能吃完一顿四川火锅而不喝冷水的人是勇敢的。故填Eating a Sichuan hot pot meal without drinking cold water. 4．根据“There is a well-known story behind it: one day, Ding tasted a delicious dish of fried chicken with peanuts. He liked it so much that he asked his own cook to learn to make it. Because of Ding Baozhen’s fame, people named the dish ‘Gongbao Jiding’ in his honor.”可知，宫保鸡丁因丁宝桢的喜爱和名声而得名。故填Because Ding Baozhen liked the dish and asked his cook to learn to make it, and people named it in his honor. 5．答案不唯一，合理即可。参考答案：Yes, because Sichuan food shows Westerners’ growing interest in Chinese culture and willingness to try unfamiliar dishes. Passage 7 （25-26九年级上·四川成都·期中）根据短文内容，按要求回答问题。 One day, Andy was taking a walk and happened to pass by a fascinating farm. He noticed a farmer standing by the farm, looking worried. Curiosity got the better of Andy, so he spoke to the farmer. “Why do you look so worried? Have you planted wheat?” Andy asked. The farmer slowly shook his head. His face was marked with worry as he spoke, “I’ve noticed that the weather isn’t great and I’m worried that if it rains, the newly planted wheat might get wet. There’s a chance it won’t sprout (发芽) at all, or even worse, it could rot (腐烂) in the soil.” Andy nodded in understanding and then asked, “Then, have you planted cotton?” The farmer thought for a moment, and he said once again, “No. I’m worried about the insects this season. Those troublesome things might come and would be bad for my newly planted cotton. I simply can’t take that risk.” Andy was surprised and asked again, “So, what have you planted then?” The farmer let out a heavy sigh and replied, “I haven’t planted anything. I want to make sure that there’s no chance of rain ruining (毁坏) my plants and no insects to destroy them.” There is no doubt that effective planning is a key driver of success. However, if you wish to do something, it is not a good idea to just think about it. You can plan and consider for a long time, but there comes a point when action is important. 1．What caught Andy’s attention when he first saw the farmer? 2．Why hadn’t the farmer planted wheat or cotton? 3．Why was Andy surprised after hearing the farmer’s explanations? 4．What’s the main problem with the farmer’s thinking? 5．If you were Andy, what advice would you offer to the farmer? 【答案】1．The farmer standing by the farm, looking worried. 2．Because he was worried about the rain ruining the wheat and the insects destroying the cotton. 3．Because the farmer hadn’t planted anything. 4．He only focused on possible risks and refused to take any action. 5．I would advise him not to worry too much about the potential problems and just take action to plant crops.（答案不唯一，合理即可） 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Andy在散步时偶遇一位忧心忡忡的农夫，农夫因为担心天气和害虫而迟迟没有播种，Andy通过对话揭示了农夫的问题所在，即过度担忧而缺乏实际行动。 1．根据文章第一段“He noticed a farmer standing by the farm, looking worried.”可知，当Andy第一次看到农夫时，他注意到农夫站在农场旁，看起来很忧虑。故填The farmer standing by the farm, looking worried. 2．根据文章第二段农夫对Andy的回答“I’ve noticed that the weather isn’t great and I’m worried that if it rains, the newly planted wheat might get wet...”以及第三段“I’m worried about the insects this season...”可知，农夫没有种小麦是因为担心下雨，没有种棉花是因为担心害虫。故填Because he was worried about the rain ruining the wheat and the insects destroying the cotton. 3．根据文章第四段“Andy was surprised and asked again, ‘So, what have you planted then?’ The farmer... replied, ‘I haven’t planted anything.’”可知，Andy惊讶的原因是农夫什么都没种。故填Because the farmer hadn’t planted anything. 4．根据文章最后一段“However, if you wish to do something, it is not a good idea to just think about it... but there comes a point when action is important.”可知，农夫的问题在于他只考虑而不采取行动。故填He only focused on possible risks and refused to take any action. 5．开放性问题。根据文章主旨，即过度担忧而不采取行动是不可取的，如果我是Andy，我会建议农夫不要过分担心潜在的问题，而是应该采取行动去种植作物。故填I would advise him not to worry too much about the potential problems and just take action to plant crops.（答案不唯一，合理即可） Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·四川成都·期中）根据短文内容，按要求回答问题。 The wonder of the wheel When the first humans decided to leave their homes over 100,000 years ago in search of new places to live and better sources of food, they did it on foot. Humans continued walking across the globe for the next 94,000 years, until about 6,000 years ago when a number of important changes took place. For instance, in the Central Asian country of Kazakhstan, people started to ride horses. Although this meant that people could travel further and faster, transporting large amounts of goods was still a difficult job. That all changed, however, a few hundred years later with the invention of the wheel. Who first invented the wheel? We will never know for sure, but the inventors probably first used wheels to make pottery (陶器). Later, they realized that they could also use them to transport people and things. They soon attached wheels to horse-pulled vehicles. Farmers were suddenly able to transport their goods to markets far away. This invention increased national and international trade. The wheel changed the way villages, towns and even countries did business with each other, but it wasn’t perfect. The roads were old walking paths. These old paths quickly became extremely difficult to use in wet weather. As a result, the first roads made of stone appeared after the arrival of the wheel. The Romans then invented new road-building techniques. The new roads were very good, and we still use some of them today. The wheel not only changed the way humans move, but it also allowed us to build all types of amazing machines. Windmills (风车), clocks and other machines all use wheels, and the Industrial Revolution depended on the wheel. Even in our digitalized (数字化的) world, we still use wheels in devices such as 3D printers. Without doubt, the wheel is one of the most important inventions of all time. 1．How did people travel before the invention of the wheel? 2．What were the wheels probably first used for? 3．Why did the invention of the wheel increase trade? 4．Why did stone roads appear? 5．As one of the most important inventions of all time, in what aspects (方面) has the wheel changed the world? 【答案】1．They traveled on foot (and later on horses). 2．Making pottery. 3．Because farmers could transport goods to markets far away. 4．Because the old walking paths became difficult to use in wet weather. 5．It changed transportation, trade, road building, and enabled the creation of many machines and the Industrial Revolution. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了轮子的发明及其对世界的深远影响，包括它如何改变人类出行和货物运输方式、促进贸易、推动道路建设，以及如何成为风车、时钟乃至工业革命和现代设备（如3D打印机）等各类机器的基础，强调了轮子作为史上最重要发明之一的地位。 1．根据文章第1段“When the first humans...they did it on foot.”以及“...people started to ride horses.”可知，在轮子发明前，人们最初徒步旅行，后来开始骑马。故填They traveled on foot (and later on horses). 2．根据文章第2段“...the inventors probably first used wheels to make pottery.”可知，轮子最初很可能被用于制作陶器。故填Making pottery. 3．根据文章第2段“Farmers were suddenly able to transport their goods to markets far away. This invention increased national and international trade.”可知，轮子的发明使农民能将货物运到遥远的市场，从而促进了贸易。故填Because farmers could transport goods to markets far away. 4．根据文章第3段“These old paths quickly became extremely difficult to use in wet weather. As a result, the first roads made of stone appeared...”可知，石头道路的出现是因为旧的步行小道在潮湿天气下变得极难使用。故填Because the old walking paths became difficult to use in wet weather. 5．本题为归纳总结题，要求回答轮子在哪些方面改变了世界。通读全文，轮子的影响主要体现在：改变了人类出行和运输方式（第1-2段）、促进了贸易（第2段）、推动了道路建设（第3段）、成为各类机器（风车、时钟等）的基础并支撑了工业革命（第4段）。故填It changed transportation, trade, road building, and enabled the creation of many machines and the Industrial Revolution. Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·四川成都·期中）根据短文内容，按要求回答问题。 Imagine a group of people are talking about something happily. But there is one man who cannot follow them, because he has a hearing problem. How can we help such a person? Now a new and exciting invention called AR glasses has come out. It allows deaf people to hear conversations in real time. Deaf people are also able to join in everyday conversations by wearing AR glasses. The AR glasses were developed by Dan Scarfe after he spent Christmas dinner with his family. His 97-year-old grandfather had a hearing problem. Scarfe saw him sitting alone in silence while the rest of the family were talking excitedly. And the old man always watched TV shows with subtitles (字幕). That situation was kept in Scarfe’s mind. Suddenly he realized that maybe the AR glasses could help. So Scarfe started to work with Nreal, a company good at making AR glasses. Six months later, a new pair of AR glasses came out. The glasses have a microphone that receives the audio (音频) from the environment and sends it to a connected smartphone. The phone then creates subtitles from that audio and these subtitles then appear on the screen of the user’s glasses. The company first tested the glasses in the UK. There are over 13 million adults with hearing loss. When the product works, it will change the lives of 430 million people. This is a great change for the deaf. Mark Atkinson, a user of the AR glasses, says, “As a deaf person myself, I am amazed by this new technology. Real-time subtitles made me become part of the conversation. That has never happened before.” 1．What made Dan Scarfe decide to develop the AR glasses? 2．What tools must a deaf person have if he wants to join in a conversation? 3．Why did the company first test the AR glasses in the UK? 4．What does Mark Atkinson think of the AR glasses? 5．If you could invent a technology to help people with disabilities, what would it be and why? 【答案】1．His 97-year-old grandfather’s hearing problem made him decide to develop the AR glasses. 2．He must have a pair of AR glasses and a connected smartphone. 3．Because there are over 13 million adults with hearing loss in the UK. 4．He thinks the AR glasses are amazing. They let him become part of conversations with real-time subtitles, which never happened before. 5．I would invent a smart navigation bracelet for blind people.

Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·四川成都·期中）根据短文内容，按要求回答问题。 Have you ever seen chicken wings (翅膀) made out of sugar? Recently, Zhang Bo, an artist from Xi’an, became famous online for his amazing sugar chicken wings. They look so real with bones and textures (纹理). Zhang started learning sugar art at 14. At that time, he was in a five-star hotel and saw a sugar cook make a beautiful China rose out of sugar. From then on, he fell in love with sugar art. His house is now full of cool sugar art models that he has made. According to Zhang, sugar art is a processing technique that uses materials like sugar, glucose (葡萄糖) and maltose (麦芽糖). Artists heat these materials and then shape them through ways like pulling and blowing to create beautiful artworks that can be eaten. At first, sugar art served as decoration (装饰) for the hotel’s great dishes. Now, it’s not only for decorating food but also an art form. Creating sugar art is not easy. During the actual process, it requires both patience and careful attention. Artists must control timing and temperature perfectly as they work quickly between heating and cooling the sugar. A creative idea is one of the most important parts of creating a wonderful work of art. Zhang adds characteristic parts of traditional Chinese culture to his artworks, like 12 animal signs. These cultural parts, with their bright colors and rich meanings, make his artworks eye-catching in competitions. This year, Zhang created a series of snake-themed artworks to celebrate the Year of the Snake. With his love for sugar art, Zhang Bo will keep learning and bringing joy to more people through his sweet art. 1．What made Zhang Bo fall in love with sugar art? 2．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? 3．What should artists pay attention to when dealing with the sugar? 4．Why can Zhang Bo’s artworks stand out in competitions? 5．What do you think of Zhang Bo’s artworks?

Passage 4 （25-26九年级上·四川成都·期中）根据短文内容，按要求回答问题。 When it comes to ancient travelers who traveled across China, who is the first person that comes to your mind? In fact, for most people, it’s Xu Xiake. Xu Xiake was a famous geographer from China’s Ming Dynasty. Unlike scholars (学者) of his time who only studied books, Xu believed true knowledge came from seeing the world in person. Born in 1587, Xu started traveling when he was 26. For over 30 years, he walked across almost half of China, visiting faraway mountains, rivers, and forests. He traveled on foot or by simple boats, facing dangers like wild animals. During his travels, Xu Xiake kept detailed diaries. In them, he wrote about everything he saw—the heights of mountains, the lengths of rivers, and how the weather influenced plants and animals. He also corrected old maps, showing that some famous rivers had different sources (来源) than people thought. What’s more, he described cultural treasures—ancient buildings, local festivals, and daily lives in villages. After his death, Xu’s notes were collected into a book called Xu Xiake’s Travel Diaries. This book becomes one of China’s greatest scientific works. And it also influences the places outside China. So far, translated into English and six other languages, the book has shown the world China’s breathtaking beauty and deep cultural history. Today, Xu is known as a pioneer of fieldwork (实地考察的先驱). Xu Xiake’s Travel Diaries helps develop China’s geographical study, opening a window to China’s natural wonders and traditions.

Passage 6 （25-26九年级上·四川成都·期中）根据短文内容，按要求回答问题。 Chen-Ning Yang, a famous physicist, passed away in Beijing on October 18, 2025, at the age of 103. His life was full of achievements in physics and love for the motherland. His story can encourage junior three students like you. Yang was born in Hefei, Anhui Province in 1922. At a young age, he showed great interest in science. During the war years, he moved with his family to many places and finally got into Southwest Associated University. There was a shortage of books and lab tools. This experience taught him to work hard even when conditions were poor. In 1942, he graduated from the Department of Physics at Southwest Associated University. After that, he went to the United States for further study and got his doctor’s degree. In 1956, Yang, together with Tsung-Dao Lee, put forward a very important idea. It changed the way people thought about physics. It was a big surprise. Scientists were shocked at first and some even didn’t believe it. For it, Yang and Lee won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957. Another important thing Yang did was developing the Yang-Mills gauge theory (杨-米尔斯理论) with R. L. Mills in 1954. It became the base for the development of particle physics (粒子物理学) later on. Even though Yang lived abroad for a long time, he always cared about his homeland, China. After the improvement of China-US relations in 1971, he was among the first overseas scholars (学者) to visit China. He gave talks in many American universities to tell people about China. His actions encouraged more scholars to come back and work for their country. Since 1999, he had worked as a professor at Tsinghua University. Even in his eighties, he still taught students and tried his best to train new physics talents. Chen-Ning Yang’s life was like a circle. It started in China, then he went to the world stage, and finally, he returned to his homeland.

Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·四川成都·期中）根据短文内容，按要求回答问题。 The sun hung low in the sky, brushing gold over the empty area. The air buzzed (喧闹)—not with insects, but with voices, cameras, and the weight of something about to begin. Roy’s heart beat like a drum. He looked out at the people gathering for the pancake house ground-breaking ceremony (仪式). Behind him stood the company men and the reporters. And under his feet—hidden underground—were the tiny holes of the owls. No sign marked them. No fence protected them. They asked nothing, made no sound, yet now heavy machines waited, ready to destroy their living area. Roy had tried to stay out of trouble. He liked quiet. But now, staying quiet didn’t feel right. He stepped up to the microphone. “Excuse me,” he said, voice shaking. “Before you dig…you should know the truth.” The crowd grew quiet. “There are owls living here,” Roy said. “They’re small. They’re scared. And if you build here, you’ll destroy their homes.” Someone in the crowd laughed. A reporter asked, “How do you know that?” “Because I saw them. I stood right there and watched them. They live here. They belong here. And they matter.” The manager stepped forward, “This is not your business, kid.” Roy turned to face him. His fear turned into something else—strength. “It’s my business. It’s everyone’s business. We can’t just destroy what we don’t see. Progress should not come at the cost of wonder,” he said. His hands stopped shaking. People in the crowd began whispering. One mother held her child’s hand. A teacher nodded. Even the manager looked uncertain. Roy didn’t know what would happen next. But he did what he could. He spoke the truth. Roy used to be scared. But doing the right thing made him stronger. Sometimes, doing what you can is enough to shift (改变) the wind. 1．Why did the people gather in the empty area together? 2．Were the owls under protection? How do you know? 3．What was Roy’s purpose in stepping up to the microphone to speak? 4．What’s your understanding of the underlined sentences? 5．If you were Roy, what could you do further to shift the wind?（至少两点，言之有理即可） 【答案】1．They gathered for the pancake house ground-breaking ceremony. 2．No, they weren’t.

I could contact local animal protection organizations for help. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了男孩Roy在一家煎饼店的奠基仪式上，勇敢站出来保护地下猫头鹰栖息地的故事，展现了他的勇气与对自然的责任感。 1．根据第一段“Roy looked out at the people gathering for the pancake house ground-breaking ceremony.”可知，人们聚集在空地是为了参加煎饼店的奠基仪式。故填They gathered for the pancake house ground-breaking ceremony. 2．根据第二段“No sign marked them. No fence protected them.”可知，猫头鹰没有受到保护。故填No, they weren’t. We know this because no sign marked their living area and no fence protected them. 3．根据Roy的发言“Before you dig…you should know the truth.”以及“They’re owls living here…you’ll destroy their homes.”可知，他走上麦克风是为了告诉大家这里是猫头鹰的栖息地，阻止施工队破坏它们的家园。故填His purpose was to tell people the truth that owls lived there and stop the construction from destroying the owls’ homes. 4．根据上下文，这句话“It’s my business.

But real success hardly comes so fast. True success takes time and hard work. It also needs the right mindset. This means how we think about our own ability. Psychologist Carol Dweck has spent years studying this. She says there are two main types: Fixed Mindset: People think their abilities are unchangeable. They may think. “I’m just not good at math,” and stop trying. Growth Mindset: People believe their abilities can grow through practice, strategy, and learning from mistakes. Dweck’s research shows that a growth mindset greatly improves learning. She also explains that growth happens through four stages (comfort zone — fear zone — learning zone— growth zone). Moving from one zone (区域) to the next isn’t easy. Some people stop because they fear making mistakes and keep thinking. “What if things don’t go as planned?” To test how to get over that fear. Dweck worked with a soccer club. Coaches there told the players that mistakes are a natural part of improvement. When a player said, “I can’t do this,” the coaches encouraged them to add one small but powerful word, “yet”. Saying “I can’t do this yet” changes the meaning. It shows the player simply hasn’t got the skill so far, but believes success will come with hard work. This idea works besides sports. Whether you’ re solving a difficult math problem, preparing for an English exam, or learning a musical instrument, remember the superpower of “Yet”. Challenges are opportunities to grow. Believe in yourself, stay patient, and keep practicing. Your abilities are not fixed— they are waiting to grow! 1．According to the passage, what is needed for true success? 2．What does a fixed mindset mean in the text? 3．Why is it difficult for people to move from one zone to the next? 4．What is the meaning of the Super Power of “Yet”? 5．How can you use the idea of “yet” to help you in your own studies or hobbies? 【答案】1．Time, hard work and the right mindset. 2．It means people think their abilities are unchangeable. 3．Because they fear making mistakes. 4．It means not having the skill yet but believing success will come with hard work. 5．When I can’t play a difficult piano piece, I’ll say “I can’t play it yet”. This encourages me to practice more and believe I’ll master it soon. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了心理学家卡罗尔·德韦克提出的两种思维模式——固定型思维模式和成长型思维模式，阐述了成长型思维模式对学习的积极作用，重点讲解了“Yet”一词的“超能力”。 1．根据原文“True success takes time and hard work. It also needs the right mindset.”可知，真正的成功需要时间、努力和正确的心态，故填Time, hard work and the right mindset. 2．根据原文“Fixed Mindset: People think their abilities are unchangeable.”可知，固定型思维模式指人们认为自己的能力是不可改变的，故填It means people think their abilities are unchangeable. 3．根据原文“Moving from one zone to the next isn’t easy. Some people stop because they fear making mistakes...”可知，人们难以从一个区域进入下一个区域是因为害怕犯错，故填Because they fear making mistakes. 4．根据原文“Saying ‘I can’t do this yet’ changes the meaning. It shows the player simply hasn’t got the skill so far, but believes success will come with hard work.”可知，“Yet”的“超能力”在于它传递出“目前还未做到，但通过努力终将成功”的信念，帮助人们正视不足、坚持努力，故填It means not having the skill yet but believing success will come with hard work. 5．题目要求结合自身学习或爱好说明如何运用“yet”的理念，言之有理即可。示例：当我无法弹奏一首难度较大的钢琴曲时，我会说“我现在还弹不了它”。这种表述能激励我更加刻苦地练习，并让我坚信自己很快就能掌握它。故填When I can’t play a difficult piano piece, I’ll say “I can’t play it yet”. This encourages me to practice more and believe I’ll master it soon. Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·四川成都·期中）根据短文内容，按要求回答问题。 Mingyue Village welcomes 25 foreign students of the 2025 “Sing and learn Chinese—Singing in Chengdu” Study Tour. The village is situated in Pujiang, and regarded as one of the “Top Ten Model Villages” for high-quality rural industrial development. The village has over 5,000,000 m2 of Lei bamboo and 2,000,000 m2 of tea plants. Visitors can have a view of natural beauty and take part in activities such as picking tea leaves. Here, the fascination lies not only in its clear waters and green mountains, but also its intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产). On arrival, foreign students from 18 different countries excitedly follow local artists to experience reed weaving (草编). An artist introduces a local reed (Pu Cao), from which Pujiang takes its name. “Very interesting! I’ve gradually learned a lot of things about Chinese culture through experiences like this. I’ll take them back to my country to show my friends,” says Bayasta from Kyrgyzstan. Then a local artist instructs them in tie-dyeing. The dye (染料) is made from banlangen leaves. Banlangen is used not only for medical purposes, but also as a natural dye. She tells students if reed weaving “turns grass into treasures,” tie-dyeing “turns leaves into gold.” Zhou Yuchen, an American student, says, “Tie-dye dates back over 2,000 years in China and was spread along the Silk Road. This craft caught Western attention and became fashionable as a symbol of peace and freedom during the 1960s. Many U.S. schools introduce tie-dye in art classes. Students love its hands-on process and surprising results.” The foreign youth experience the intangible cultural heritage of the Chinese countryside and feel the energy that green development brings to the ancient village. Clear waters and green mountains are valuable treasures. 1．What does the name of Pujiang come from? 2．How does Bayasta like reed weaving? 3．When did tie-dye become fashionable in the West? 4．Why does the local artist think tie-dyeing “turns leaves into gold”? 5．Do you agree with the idea of green development in Mingyue Village? Why or why not? 【答案】1．Pujiang takes its name from a local reed called Pu Cao. 2．Bayasta thinks reed weaving is very interesting. He says he has gradually learned a lot of things about Chinese culture through this experience, and he plans to take what he has learned back to his country to show his friends. 3．Tie-dye became fashionable in the West during the 1960s, when it was seen as a symbol of peace and freedom. 4．Because tie-dyeing uses banlangen leaves (which originally have medical purposes) to make natural dye. This craft turns ordinary leaves into valuable cultural products, creating economic value while inheriting intangible cultural heritage, just like turning leaves into gold. 5．Yes, I agree. Mingyue Village’s green development concept perfectly integrates ecological protection, intangible cultural heritage inheritance, and rural economic development. On one hand, it preserves its natural beauty such as Lei bamboos, tea plants, clear waters and green mountains. On the other hand, it uses these ecological resources and intangible cultural heritage like reed weaving and tie-dyeing to develop cultural tourism, bringing economic benefits to the village and providing a platform for cultural exchanges. This practice truly implements the concept that “clear waters and green mountains are valuable treasures”, realizing sustainable development that benefits both the local environment and the villagers’ lives. 【导语】本文介绍了明月村接待外国学生体验草编、扎染等非遗文化及绿色发展的相关内容。 1．根据“An artist introduces a local reed (Pu Cao), from which Pujiang takes its name.”可知，浦江的名字来源于当地一种名为蒲草的芦苇。故填Pujiang takes its name from a local reed called Pu Cao. 2．根据“‘Very interesting! I’ve gradually learned a lot of things about Chinese culture through experiences like this . I’ll take them back to my country to show my friends,’ says Bayasta from Kyrgyzstan.”可知，巴亚斯塔认为芦苇编织非常有趣。他说，通过这次经历，他逐渐学到了很多关于中国文化的东西，他计划把学到的东西带回自己的国家，向朋友们展示。故填Bayasta thinks reed weaving is very interesting. He says he has gradually learned a lot of things about Chinese culture through this experience, and he plans to take what he has learned back to his country to show his friends. 3．根据“This craft caught Western attention and became fashionable as a symbol of peace and freedom during the 1960s.”可知，扎染在20世纪60年代在西方流行起来，当时它被视为和平与自由的象征。故填Tie-dye became fashionable in the West during the 1960s, when it was seen as a symbol of peace and freedom. 4．根据“Then a local artist instructs them in tie-dyeing. The dye (染料) is made from banlangen leaves. Banlangen is used not only for medical purposes, but also as a natural dye. She tells students if reed weaving “turns grass into treasures,” tie-dyeing “turns leaves into gold.””可知，因为扎染使用板蓝根叶（最初具有医疗用途）制成天然染料。这种工艺将普通的叶子变成有价值的文化产品，在继承非物质文化遗产的同时创造经济价值，就像把叶子变成金子一样。故填Because tie-dyeing uses banlangen leaves (which originally have medical purposes) to make natural dye. This craft turns ordinary leaves into valuable cultural products, creating economic value while inheriting intangible cultural heritage, just like turning leaves into gold. 5．开放性试题，答案合理即可。参考答案为：是的，我同意。明月村的绿色发展理念完美融合了生态保护、非物质文化遗产传承和农村经济发展。一方面，它保留了雷竹、茶树、清水和青山等自然美景。另一方面，它利用这些生态资源和芦苇编织、扎染等非物质文化遗产发展文化旅游，为村庄带来经济效益，为文化交流提供平台。这种做法真正落实了“清水青山是宝贵财富”的理念，实现了造福当地环境和村民生活的可持续发展。故填Yes, I agree. Mingyue Village’s green development concept perfectly integrates ecological protection, intangible cultural heritage inheritance, and rural economic development. On one hand, it preserves its natural beauty such as Lei bamboos, tea plants, clear waters and green mountains. On the other hand, it uses these ecological resources and intangible cultural heritage like reed weaving and tie-dyeing to develop cultural tourism, bringing economic benefits to the village and providing a platform for cultural exchanges. This practice truly implements the concept that “clear waters and green mountains are valuable treasures”, realizing sustainable development that benefits both the local environment and the villagers’ lives. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题07 阅读回答问题 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·四川成都·期中）根据短文内容，按要求回答问题。 Started in 2022, the Huajiang Grand Canyon (峡谷) Bridge — the world’s highest bridge — opened to traffic in late September 2025. About twice the height of the Eiffel Tower (埃菲尔铁塔), the bridge is also the longest bridge in the mountainous areas. The whole bridge is 2,890 meters long, 625 meters tall, and its two towers look like ancient Chinese jars (罐子). Why is such a bridge built? Guizhou Province has many mountains and difficult areas. This bridge is part of a new highway that will cut travel time across the canyon from about one hour to two minutes! It’ll help interest more tourists to places nearby such as the famous Huangguoshu Waterfall. However, it wasn’t easy to build it. Steel pieces weighed 22,000 tons. Crazy winds and sudden weather changes in the canyon made it face more difficulties. To deal with these problems, engineers used modern technologies. They even created a special system to check how the wind moved. “The completion of the bridge will be good for economic (经济的) strength, even though the project is full of risk,” said Chen Jianlei, the main engineer. Li Zhao, another engineer of the project, said, “Seeing my work become something tangible — watching the bridge grow day by day and finally stand tall above the canyon gives me a great sense of achievement and pride.” 1．How long does it take to build Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge? 2．What is the second paragraph about? 3．Why is such a bridge built? (at least 2 points) 4．What does the word in bold “tangible” mean? 5．According to the passage, what do the engineers think of their job?

Sherpas (夏尔巴人) working on Mount Qomolangma have to go on a four-hour hike across dangerous broken ice to bring rubbish back to the base camp. Now during the climbing season, they have new help from two drones produced by a Chinese company. They can complete the same journey only in six minutes. Drones have been used to transport rubbish from Mount Qomolangma Camp 1, which sits at 6,065 meters above sea level, down to the base camp, about 700 meters below. A drone transports things like ropes up the peak. After that, Sherpas hook (钩) a rubbish-filled bag on the drone. Then the drone takes the rubbish back to the base camp. Between mid-April and mid-May this year, the drones dealt with more than 280 kilograms of rubbish. Using robots can help not only speed up the process but also reduce the danger for the Sherpas who carry rubbish down the mountain. Mount Qomolangma has seen more and more rubbish since the 1990s. The problem is worse at higher campsites, which are also more challenging to clean. Since 2019, the Nepalese (尼泊尔) government and Sherpas have worked together to clean more than 100 tons of waste. In the last ten years, the government has also made rules that require climbers who go above the base camp to carry back at least 8 kilograms of rubbish each, or they will be fined up to $4,000. 1．Who produced the two drones? 2．How long does it take a drone to complete the same journey that Sherpas do? 3．How many steps do the drone and Sherpas work together to deal with the rubbish? 4．What will happen if a climber breaks the rule that the Nepalese government has made? 5．What do you think of the drones? Why do you think so? Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·四川成都·期中）根据短文内容，按要求回答问题。 Choosing a career (事业) is a big choice, but it doesn’t have to be scary. Some people already know what they want to do, while others need more time. The key is to find work that matches your interests and skills—you’ll be happier doing what you love. Think about what excites you most. Do you like solving problems and working with numbers? You might want to work in technology or engineering. If you are willing to help people, try fields like healthcare or teaching. However, it’s not only about what you like—your skills matter too. Are you great at talking to people and understanding their needs? Or are you better at solving puzzles and using technology? Some people are amazing at maths and science, while others are born with creativity and communication. You don’t just want a job you’re good at. You also want one that you enjoy. When you join love and skills together, your work becomes less of a “job” and more of something you really enjoy. Moreover, when you love what you do, it’s easier to feel happier at the end of the day. But it’s also important to think about the job market and chances. If you live in a place full of technology companies, jobs in programming or engineering may be more suitable. One more thing: your career path isn’t set in stone. People change careers all the time! It’s okay if you start one job and then decide you want to try something new. What’s important is to keep learning and growing along the way. 1．According to the passage, what is the key to finding a satisfying job? 2．If Mike likes solving problems and working with numbers, what work might he do? 3．What does the underlined phrase “set in stone” in Paragraph 4 mean? 4．No matter what job you do, what is important in the writer’s mind? 5．What do you want to be? Why do you think you can do it well? Passage 4 （25-26九年级上·四川成都·期中）根据短文内容，按要求回答问题。 The Longtaitou Festival, also known as the Eryue’er Festival, is a traditional Chinese festival named for the day it falls on. The name means “dragon raising its head”, carrying a sense of hope. In Chinese ancient farming culture, this festival holds great importance. It is said that on this day the dragon king who is in control of rain will wake up from sleep and lift his head. People believe that after the Longtaitou Festival, the rain will gradually increase. It marks the start of the busy farming season. The celebration of the Longtaitou Festival is rich in traditions. One of the most well-known customs is getting a haircut. Many people believe that cutting their hair in the first lunar month will bring bad luck. And having a haircut on the Longtaitou Festival can bring good luck and success all the year. In some areas, people eat noodles, dumplings, spring rolls, wontons (云吞) which are all given dragon names on this day. Noodles are called longxu. Dumplings are called long’er. Spring rolls are called longlin. Wontons are called longyan. It’s said that eating these foods can bring good luck. In ancient times, there were even more customs. People used to spread ashes (灰) in the kitchen, with the belief that it could lead the dragon into the house. This was done to ask for a harvest (丰收) with the help of the dragon. However, as time goes by, some of these ancient customs have slowly died out. The Longtaitou Festival still holds a special place in the hearts of Chinese people. It serves not only as a festival but also as a symbol of our traditional culture. We should let it be like a river, running through the ages and never drying up. 1．When is the Longtaitou Festival celebrated? 2．Why does this festival hold great importance in Chinese ancient farming culture? 3．What customs are introduced in the article? 4．What does the writer advise us to do through the underlined sentence? 5．What other days play the similar role as Longtaitou? List one and give the reason. Passage 5 （25-26九年级上·四川成都·期中）Read the article and answer the questions. Have you heard of “Buy Nothing Day”? As the name suggests, it encourages people not to buy anything for a whole day. It began in the 1990s in Vancouver, Canada. It was the idea of a man named Kalle Lasn. After making ads for many years, Lasn began to question the ways ads influenced people. Lasn knew that people needed to buy necessary things to eat, live and even enjoy life. But Lasn believed that many ads encouraged people to buy far more than necessary. He thought it hurt people and culture. Lasn tried to help people see the wrong values and ideas in advertising, fighting the idea that happiness comes from buying more. “Buy Nothing Day” was one of his ideas to challenge this. “Buy Nothing Day” is celebrated on the fourth Friday of every November. Lasn chose this day for a very important reason. It is one of the biggest shopping days of the year. People call this day Black Friday. The first “Buy Nothing Day” was celebrated in Canada in 1992. Many other countries also have growing problems with too much buying. Now, over six different countries including the USA, the UK, Germany, France, Japan, are celebrating “Buy Nothing Day”. Some people don’t believe “Buy Nothing Day” can really change culture. It is only one day they say. Other people say that shoppers should not just cut down their shopping quantity (数量), but also increase their shopping quality (质量). But “Buy Nothing Day” does get people thinking about the bad influences of buying too much. 1．When is “Buy Nothing Day”? 2．Who came up with the idea of “Buy Nothing Day”? 3．How many countries celebrate this day now? 4．Why don’t some people believe this day can change culture? 5．Are you for or against “Buy Nothing Day”? Why? Passage 6 （25-26九年级上·四川成都·期中）Recently, Chinese food has swept across the Western world, and few dishes have attracted as much attention as Sichuan food. Famous for the twin sensations of ma and la, Sichuan food offers a flavor that feels both adventurous and addictive. Westerners are no longer satisfied with mild tastes; many now actively search for the typical spices of Sichuan cooking. Mapo tofu, a famous Síchuan dish, is loved for its spicy taste. Here is a simple way to make it. First, cut soft tofu into small pieces. Second, fry some beef in a pan until it changes color. Then, add Sichuan chili bean paste and peppercorns to the beef to create the spicy and numbing flavor. Finally, add the tofu cubes and a little water, and cook everything together for a few minutes. Hot pot is also called Mala huoguo. Many Westerners think hot pot is the hottest and spiciest dish. It is a social meal and everyone cooks their own food in the pot while talking. They also think hot pot is a sign of a brave person if a person can eat a Sichuan hot pot meal without drinking cold water. Kung Pao Chicken, also known as Gongbao Jiding, enjoys high popularity. Its name comes from a famous officer named Ding Baozhen, who is also called “Gongbao”. There is a well-known story behind it: one day, Ding tasted a delicious dish of fried chicken with peanuts. He liked it so much that he asked his own cook to learn to make it. Because of Ding Baozhen’s fame, people named the dish “Gongbao Jiding” in his honor. Sichuan food’s rise in the West shows more than a trend (趋势) toward spicy food; it shows a growing interest in the Chinese culture and a willingness to try unfamiliar dishes. Through a bowl of Mapo tofu or a lively hot-pot night, Westerners can learn stories and values from our culture bite by bite. 1．What are the “twin sensations” that make Sichuan food famous? 2．As Sichuan dishes, what do Mapo tofu and hot pot have in common? 3．What can make Westerners regard you as a brave person? 4．Why was Kung Pao Chicken named after Ding Baozhen? 5．Do you think Sichuan food can be a cultural bridge? Why? Passage 7 （25-26九年级上·四川成都·期中）根据短文内容，按要求回答问题。 One day, Andy was taking a walk and happened to pass by a fascinating farm. He noticed a farmer standing by the farm, looking worried. Curiosity got the better of Andy, so he spoke to the farmer. “Why do you look so worried? Have you planted wheat?” Andy asked. The farmer slowly shook his head. His face was marked with worry as he spoke, “I’ve noticed that the weather isn’t great and I’m worried that if it rains, the newly planted wheat might get wet. There’s a chance it won’t sprout (发芽) at all, or even worse, it could rot (腐烂) in the soil.” Andy nodded in understanding and then asked, “Then, have you planted cotton?” The farmer thought for a moment, and he said once again, “No. I’m worried about the insects this season. Those troublesome things might come and would be bad for my newly planted cotton. I simply can’t take that risk.” Andy was surprised and asked again, “So, what have you planted then?” The farmer let out a heavy sigh and replied, “I haven’t planted anything. I want to make sure that there’s no chance of rain ruining (毁坏) my plants and no insects to destroy them.” There is no doubt that effective planning is a key driver of success. However, if you wish to do something, it is not a good idea to just think about it. You can plan and consider for a long time, but there comes a point when action is important. 1．What caught Andy’s attention when he first saw the farmer? 2．Why hadn’t the farmer planted wheat or cotton? 3．Why was Andy surprised after hearing the farmer’s explanations? 4．What’s the main problem with the farmer’s thinking? 5．If you were Andy, what advice would you offer to the farmer? Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·四川成都·期中）根据短文内容，按要求回答问题。 The wonder of the wheel When the first humans decided to leave their homes over 100,000 years ago in search of new places to live and better sources of food, they did it on foot. Humans continued walking across the globe for the next 94,000 years, until about 6,000 years ago when a number of important changes took place. For instance, in the Central Asian country of Kazakhstan, people started to ride horses. Although this meant that people could travel further and faster, transporting large amounts of goods was still a difficult job. That all changed, however, a few hundred years later with the invention of the wheel. Who first invented the wheel? We will never know for sure, but the inventors probably first used wheels to make pottery (陶器). Later, they realized that they could also use them to transport people and things. They soon attached wheels to horse-pulled vehicles. Farmers were suddenly able to transport their goods to markets far away. This invention increased national and international trade. The wheel changed the way villages, towns and even countries did business with each other, but it wasn’t perfect. The roads were old walking paths. These old paths quickly became extremely difficult to use in wet weather. As a result, the first roads made of stone appeared after the arrival of the wheel. The Romans then invented new road-building techniques. The new roads were very good, and we still use some of them today. The wheel not only changed the way humans move, but it also allowed us to build all types of amazing machines. Windmills (风车), clocks and other machines all use wheels, and the Industrial Revolution depended on the wheel. Even in our digitalized (数字化的) world, we still use wheels in devices such as 3D printers. Without doubt, the wheel is one of the most important inventions of all time. 1．How did people travel before the invention of the wheel? 2．What were the wheels probably first used for? 3．Why did the invention of the wheel increase trade? 4．Why did stone roads appear? 5．As one of the most important inventions of all time, in what aspects (方面) has the wheel changed the world?

How can we help such a person? Now a new and exciting invention called AR glasses has come out. It allows deaf people to hear conversations in real time. Deaf people are also able to join in everyday conversations by wearing AR glasses. The AR glasses were developed by Dan Scarfe after he spent Christmas dinner with his family. His 97-year-old grandfather had a hearing problem. Scarfe saw him sitting alone in silence while the rest of the family were talking excitedly. And the old man always watched TV shows with subtitles (字幕). That situation was kept in Scarfe’s mind. Suddenly he realized that maybe the AR glasses could help. So Scarfe started to work with Nreal, a company good at making AR glasses. Six months later, a new pair of AR glasses came out. The glasses have a microphone that receives the audio (音频) from the environment and sends it to a connected smartphone. The phone then creates subtitles from that audio and these subtitles then appear on the screen of the user’s glasses. The company first tested the glasses in the UK. There are over 13 million adults with hearing loss. When the product works, it will change the lives of 430 million people. This is a great change for the deaf. Mark Atkinson, a user of the AR glasses, says, “As a deaf person myself, I am amazed by this new technology. Real-time subtitles made me become part of the conversation. That has never happened before.” 1．What made Dan Scarfe decide to develop the AR glasses? 2．What tools must a deaf person have if he wants to join in a conversation? 3．Why did the company first test the AR glasses in the UK? 4．What does Mark Atkinson think of the AR glasses? 5．If you could invent a technology to help people with disabilities, what would it be and why?

Recently, Zhang Bo, an artist from Xi’an, became famous online for his amazing sugar chicken wings. They look so real with bones and textures (纹理). Zhang started learning sugar art at 14. At that time, he was in a five-star hotel and saw a sugar cook make a beautiful China rose out of sugar. From then on, he fell in love with sugar art. His house is now full of cool sugar art models that he has made. According to Zhang, sugar art is a processing technique that uses materials like sugar, glucose (葡萄糖) and maltose (麦芽糖). Artists heat these materials and then shape them through ways like pulling and blowing to create beautiful artworks that can be eaten. At first, sugar art served as decoration (装饰) for the hotel’s great dishes. Now, it’s not only for decorating food but also an art form. Creating sugar art is not easy. During the actual process, it requires both patience and careful attention. Artists must control timing and temperature perfectly as they work quickly between heating and cooling the sugar. A creative idea is one of the most important parts of creating a wonderful work of art. Zhang adds characteristic parts of traditional Chinese culture to his artworks, like 12 animal signs. These cultural parts, with their bright colors and rich meanings, make his artworks eye-catching in competitions. This year, Zhang created a series of snake-themed artworks to celebrate the Year of the Snake. With his love for sugar art, Zhang Bo will keep learning and bringing joy to more people through his sweet art. 1．What made Zhang Bo fall in love with sugar art? 2．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? 3．What should artists pay attention to when dealing with the sugar? 4．Why can Zhang Bo’s artworks stand out in competitions? 5．What do you think of Zhang Bo’s artworks?

In fact, for most people, it’s Xu Xiake. Xu Xiake was a famous geographer from China’s Ming Dynasty. Unlike scholars (学者) of his time who only studied books, Xu believed true knowledge came from seeing the world in person. Born in 1587, Xu started traveling when he was 26. For over 30 years, he walked across almost half of China, visiting faraway mountains, rivers, and forests. He traveled on foot or by simple boats, facing dangers like wild animals. During his travels, Xu Xiake kept detailed diaries. In them, he wrote about everything he saw—the heights of mountains, the lengths of rivers, and how the weather influenced plants and animals. He also corrected old maps, showing that some famous rivers had different sources (来源) than people thought. What’s more, he described cultural treasures—ancient buildings, local festivals, and daily lives in villages. After his death, Xu’s notes were collected into a book called Xu Xiake’s Travel Diaries. This book becomes one of China’s greatest scientific works. And it also influences the places outside China. So far, translated into English and six other languages, the book has shown the world China’s breathtaking beauty and deep cultural history. Today, Xu is known as a pioneer of fieldwork (实地考察的先驱). Xu Xiake’s Travel Diaries helps develop China’s geographical study, opening a window to China’s natural wonders and traditions. As Dr. Needham, a scientist from London, noted, “Xu Xiake didn’t just explore (探索) China—he helped the world understand the beautiful country.” 1．In which year did Xu Xiake start traveling? 2．What did Xu Xiake write in his diaries according to paragraph 2? 3．How many language versions (版本) of Xu Xiake’s Travel Diaries have there been up to now? 4．Which country does Dr. Needham come from? 5．Do you want to be a traveler like Xu Xiake, and why?

Her childhood was far from being easy, so she always doubted herself and couldn’t find her place in the world. In 2000, she went to Ukraine (乌克兰) to study art. After returning to China, she kept looking for her way in art until paper cutting suddenly caught her eye. It was a quiet day in 2008 when Liaoliao stayed at home alone. With a piece of red paper and a pair of sharp scissors in hand, she started trying folding and cutting the paper just to kill time. When she finally unfolded the paper, a beautiful pattern appeared before her eyes, surprising her greatly. From then on, she fell in love with paper cutting. She practiced every day, and gradually her skills improved. “Compared with other art forms like painting or sculpture (雕塑), paper cutting is simpler and cleaner. Moreover, every cut is a choice, and, for me, it feels good to decide what to make,“ she explained. Liaoliao also creates artworks for books. ”Her works are full of her own fresh and special ideas,“ said Chen Lingyun, a staff member of a publishing company (出版社). ”When I saw her works for the book Yuefu, I thought her cuts fit the ancient poems (诗歌) inside very well. I really liked her work Liangnan — a picture for a poem with the same name. It has lots of lotus leaves in different sizes, flowers, and lively fish swimming around. It shows her endless imagination about the beautiful natural scene." Liaoliao’s experiences are really encouraging, as they show us that even when life is quite hard, there is always a way to find light. 1．What made Liaoliao doubt herself in the past? 2．What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? 3．Why does Liaoliao like paper cutting? 4．What did Chen think of Liaoliao’s works? 5．What does Liaoliao’s story encourage you to do?

His life was full of achievements in physics and love for the motherland. His story can encourage junior three students like you. Yang was born in Hefei, Anhui Province in 1922. At a young age, he showed great interest in science. During the war years, he moved with his family to many places and finally got into Southwest Associated University. There was a shortage of books and lab tools. This experience taught him to work hard even when conditions were poor. In 1942, he graduated from the Department of Physics at Southwest Associated University. After that, he went to the United States for further study and got his doctor’s degree. In 1956, Yang, together with Tsung-Dao Lee, put forward a very important idea. It changed the way people thought about physics. It was a big surprise. Scientists were shocked at first and some even didn’t believe it. For it, Yang and Lee won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957. Another important thing Yang did was developing the Yang-Mills gauge theory (杨-米尔斯理论) with R. L. Mills in 1954. It became the base for the development of particle physics (粒子物理学) later on. Even though Yang lived abroad for a long time, he always cared about his homeland, China. After the improvement of China-US relations in 1971, he was among the first overseas scholars (学者) to visit China. He gave talks in many American universities to tell people about China. His actions encouraged more scholars to come back and work for their country. Since 1999, he had worked as a professor at Tsinghua University. Even in his eighties, he still taught students and tried his best to train new physics talents. Chen-Ning Yang’s life was like a circle. It started in China, then he went to the world stage, and finally, he returned to his homeland. His spirit of always looking for knowledge and his love for his country will inspire us all. 1．When and where did Chen-Ning Yang pass away? 2．What did Yang learn from his experience of studying at Southwest Associated University? 3．What does it in paragraph 3 refer to? 4．List two things that Yang did to show his love for China. 5．What can you learn from Chen-Ning Yang?  (Give at least two points) Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·四川成都·期中）根据短文内容，按要求回答问题。 The sun hung low in the sky, brushing gold over the empty area. The air buzzed (喧闹)—not with insects, but with voices, cameras, and the weight of something about to begin. Roy’s heart beat like a drum. He looked out at the people gathering for the pancake house ground-breaking ceremony (仪式). Behind him stood the company men and the reporters. And under his feet—hidden underground—were the tiny holes of the owls. No sign marked them. No fence protected them. They asked nothing, made no sound, yet now heavy machines waited, ready to destroy their living area. Roy had tried to stay out of trouble. He liked quiet. But now, staying quiet didn’t feel right. He stepped up to the microphone. “Excuse me,” he said, voice shaking. “Before you dig…you should know the truth.” The crowd grew quiet. “There are owls living here,” Roy said. “They’re small. They’re scared. And if you build here, you’ll destroy their homes.” Someone in the crowd laughed. A reporter asked, “How do you know that?” “Because I saw them. I stood right there and watched them. They live here. They belong here. And they matter.” The manager stepped forward, “This is not your business, kid.” Roy turned to face him. His fear turned into something else—strength. “It’s my business. It’s everyone’s business. We can’t just destroy what we don’t see. Progress should not come at the cost of wonder,” he said. His hands stopped shaking. People in the crowd began whispering. One mother held her child’s hand. A teacher nodded. Even the manager looked uncertain. Roy didn’t know what would happen next. But he did what he could. He spoke the truth. Roy used to be scared. But doing the right thing made him stronger. Sometimes, doing what you can is enough to shift (改变) the wind. 1．Why did the people gather in the empty area together? 2．Were the owls under protection?

But real success hardly comes so fast. True success takes time and hard work. It also needs the right mindset. This means how we think about our own ability. Psychologist Carol Dweck has spent years studying this. She says there are two main types: Fixed Mindset: People think their abilities are unchangeable. They may think. “I’m just not good at math,” and stop trying. Growth Mindset: People believe their abilities can grow through practice, strategy, and learning from mistakes. Dweck’s research shows that a growth mindset greatly improves learning. She also explains that growth happens through four stages (comfort zone — fear zone — learning zone— growth zone). Moving from one zone (区域) to the next isn’t easy. Some people stop because they fear making mistakes and keep thinking. “What if things don’t go as planned?” To test how to get over that fear. Dweck worked with a soccer club. Coaches there told the players that mistakes are a natural part of improvement. When a player said, “I can’t do this,” the coaches encouraged them to add one small but powerful word, “yet”. Saying “I can’t do this yet” changes the meaning. It shows the player simply hasn’t got the skill so far, but believes success will come with hard work. This idea works besides sports. Whether you’ re solving a difficult math problem, preparing for an English exam, or learning a musical instrument, remember the superpower of “Yet”. Challenges are opportunities to grow. Believe in yourself, stay patient, and keep practicing. Your abilities are not fixed— they are waiting to grow! 1．According to the passage, what is needed for true success? 2．What does a fixed mindset mean in the text? 3．Why is it difficult for people to move from one zone to the next? 4．What is the meaning of the Super Power of “Yet”? 5．How can you use the idea of “yet” to help you in your own studies or hobbies?

The village is situated in Pujiang, and regarded as one of the “Top Ten Model Villages” for high-quality rural industrial development. The village has over 5,000,000 m2 of Lei bamboo and 2,000,000 m2 of tea plants. Visitors can have a view of natural beauty and take part in activities such as picking tea leaves. Here, the fascination lies not only in its clear waters and green mountains, but also its intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产). On arrival, foreign students from 18 different countries excitedly follow local artists to experience reed weaving (草编). An artist introduces a local reed (Pu Cao), from which Pujiang takes its name. “Very interesting! I’ve gradually learned a lot of things about Chinese culture through experiences like this. I’ll take them back to my country to show my friends,” says Bayasta from Kyrgyzstan. Then a local artist instructs them in tie-dyeing. The dye (染料) is made from banlangen leaves. Banlangen is used not only for medical purposes, but also as a natural dye. She tells students if reed weaving “turns grass into treasures,” tie-dyeing “turns leaves into gold.” Zhou Yuchen, an American student, says, “Tie-dye dates back over 2,000 years in China and was spread along the Silk Road. This craft caught Western attention and became fashionable as a symbol of peace and freedom during the 1960s. Many U.S. schools introduce tie-dye in art classes. Students love its hands-on process and surprising results.” The foreign youth experience the intangible cultural heritage of the Chinese countryside and feel the energy that green development brings to the ancient village. Clear waters and green mountains are valuable treasures. 1．What does the name of Pujiang come from? 2．How does Bayasta like reed weaving? 3．When did tie-dye become fashionable in the West? 4．Why does the local artist think tie-dyeing “turns leaves into gold”? 5．Do you agree with the idea of green development in Mingyue Village?

This practice truly implements the concept that “clear waters and green mountains are valuable treasures”, realizing sustainable development that benefits both the local environment and the villagers’ lives. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
