There is a little space between them, and you can even see the sky through these breaks. This is called “crown (树冠) shyness”. Meg Lowman, a tree expert, explains that it’s a very wise way for trees to stay healthy. Trees are always competing for sunlight and water. With more space, trees can grow bigger and stronger. By keeping a certain distance from each other, they also lower the chance of losing leaves and flowers when they brush against neighbouring trees in the wind. Leaves help trees get sunlight while flowers develop into fruits. Also, just like we stay away from sick people, trees keep their leaves from touching other trees. This helps stop harmful (有害的) insects and illness from spreading.       “Nature is connected closely with human beings,” Lowman says. Forests help clean the air we breathe. Healthy trees offer us cool places in summer and clean water better. They also provide homes for so many amazing animals and plants. “The healthier the forest is, the more benefits the owner will get,” he says. “When a tree gets sick, don’t just cut it down. Trees support many living things like insects and birds. That’s how they keep the balance,” the expert adds. Trees know that being good neighbors helps everyone stay healthy and strong—that’s a great lesson for us too! Just like trees need their space, keeping a private space from others is also important for us. So next time you see trees, remember they touch us to be good neighbors. Crown Shyness—The wisdom of trees It is a fact that the trees keep some space on the tops to avoid 1 to keep healthy. The reasons that Crown Shyness happens* Trees with more space grow bigger and stronger because they can win more 2 * Trees lose leaves and flowers when they brush against the trees nearby in the wind. * It prevents harmful insects and the sicknesses from spreading. The 3 between nature and human beings * The benefits we get from the trees: Forests help clean the air we breathe. Trees offer us cool places and clean water better. Trees provide homes for animals and plants. Sick trees support insects and birds to 4 . * The lesson we learn from the tree: It’s important to respect (尊重) the 5 of other people. 【答案】1．touching (each other) 2．sunlight and water 3．connection 4．keep the balance 5．private space 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了“树冠羞避”现象及其原因，并探讨了自然与人类的密切联系，以及人类可以从中得到的启示。 1．根据文章第一段“the tops of trees don’t actually touch each other.”可推知结论树木在顶部保留一些空间以避免相互接触从而保持健康，avoid doing sth.意为“避免做某事”。故填touching (each other)。 2．根据文章第二段“Trees are always competing for sunlight and water.”可推知结论树木有了更多的空间就能赢得更多的阳光和水分。故填sunlight and water。 3．根据文章第三段“Nature is connected closely with human beings”可推知结论此处讲述的是自然与人类之间的联系，此处需要填入名词形式。故填connection。 4．根据文章第三段“Trees support many living things like insects and birds. That’s how they keep the balance”可推知结论生病的树木支持昆虫和鸟类来保持生态平衡。故填keep the balance。 5．根据文章第四段“keeping a private space from others is also important for us.”可推知结论我们从树木身上学到的教训是尊重他人的私人空间很重要。故填private space。 Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·四川成都·期中）根据短文内容，完成图表中所缺信息。 Today in the UK, most people can get hot water simply by turning on a tap. They understand the importance of staying clean and often take baths or showers daily. But this wasn’t always the case. In medieval times, people knew that washing with water was good. Some guidebooks even explained why keeping clean was important. However, a few offered strange advice—like not bathing in summer, or avoiding long baths to prevent getting fat. Rich people enjoyed bathing in wooden tubs filled with hot water by their servants. They often added perfume or flower petals (花瓣) to make the water smell nice. Having your own bath was a sign of importance. For example, King John used to take his bathtub with him whenever he traveled. Most people didn’t have a bath at home. Instead, they went to public baths, which were often built next to bakeries. The heat from baking bread was used to warm the water. Those without access to public baths washed with a cloth and cold water. When the weather was warm, they would swim in a river to get clean. By the early 1800s, crowded cities had become dirty, and people began to realize the importance of hygiene (卫生). Some families bought metal bathtubs, though for most people there was no bathroom and the water still had to be carried in from outside and heated up. Many couldn’t bathe at home but could afford to visit public baths once a week. Around the same time, sea bathing became popular as people believed salt water could help with skin problems. Bathing habits changed for good in the late 19th century when water pipes (水管) were built directly into homes. Taking baths became much easier. However, some homes in the UK, especially in the countryside, didn’t have running water until as late as the 1960s. Time Period 1 in Bathing Habits Key Reasons or Features Medieval Times ★Rich: bathed in wooden bathtubs at home. ★Most people: used public baths ★Perfume or flower petals 2 to the water, which made private baths more enjoyable. ★The water at public baths was often heated by the heat of bakeries.

Now, scientists have uncovered something fascinating in this busy city of our brain: special places called “emotional centers.” These areas light up and become active no matter what language we speak, showing us that the way we feel emotions(情感) is something everyone shares, no matter where they’re from. Emotions like happiness, sadness, fear, and excitement are feelings we all experience. But have you ever wondered how our brains process these emotions? Recent research has showed that there are certain places in our brains, which researchers are calling “emotional hubs,” where all these feelings come to life. These hubs work the same way in everyone’s brain, which is an amazing discovery because it suggests that no matter if you’re speaking Chinese, English, or any other language, our brains feel emotions in the same way. Understanding that there are emotional hubs in our brains helps scientists and doctors in many ways. For example, it can improve how we treat emotional and mental health problems. If we know where emotions come from in the brain, doctors can develop better treatments for people who might feel too sad or too worried. This discovery also teaches us something important about being human. It shows that deep down, we’re all quite similar. We all experience joy at a friend’s success, sadness during a sad movie, or fear when we hear a scary story. These emotional hubs in our brains remind us that no matter where we live or what language we speak, we all share the same human experiences. Scientists are excited about this discovery because it opens up new ways for research. They’re interested in looking into how these emotional hubs work and how they connect with other parts of the brain. This could lead to even more fascinating discoveries about how we think, feel, and communicate with the world around us. Understanding Our Brain’s Feelings Discovering the heart of emotion in our brains Scientists have found the special areas in the brain that 1 feelings and they work the same for everyone. The common language of emotion These special areas which 2 “emotional hubs” show that all people feel emotions in a similar way, no matter what language they speak. Why does this 3 ? Understanding these areas helps doctors figure out how to help people with emotional and mental health problems. Bringing us together This tells us the 4 of our feelings across different cultures, showing how emotions connect us all as part of the human family. The future of emotional research Learning how this part of our brain works will help scientists 5 study how we think, feel and communicate with each other. 【答案】1．deal with / do with / process / control 2．are called / named 3．matter 4．similarities / similarity 5．further / deeply / more deeply 【导语】本文主要介绍了科学家在大脑中发现的 “情绪中枢”（emotional hubs），解释了这些区域如何让我们以相似的方式感受情绪，并阐述了这一发现对医疗、人类认知及未来研究的重要意义。 1．根据“Recent research has showed that there are certain places in our brains, which researchers are calling ‘emotional hubs,’ where all these feelings come to life.” 以及前文的问句 “how our brains process these emotions?”可知，大脑中的这些特殊区域是用来处理情绪的。故填deal with/do with/process/control。 2．根据 “Recent research has showed that there are certain places in our brains, which researchers are calling ‘emotional hubs,’ where all these feelings come to life.”，可知句中 “which researchers are calling” 可以转换为 “which are called”或“which named”。故填are called/named。 3．根据“Understanding these areas helps doctors figure out how to help people with emotional and mental health problems.”可知，这部分是在说明 “为什么这一发现很重要”，对应的标题应为 “Why does this matter?”（为什么这很重要？）。故填matter。 4．根据“It shows that deep down, we’re all quite similar. We all experience joy at a friend’s success, sadness during a sad movie, or fear when we hear a scary story.”可知，这揭示了不同文化背景下我们情感的相似性。故填similarities/similarity。 5．根据“Scientists are excited about this discovery because it opens up new ways for research.

It’s one of the most famous murals (壁画) from the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang. There are about 45,000 m2 of murals that should be seen there. Without doubt, the beauty of Dunhuang and the Mogao Grottoes is liked by the whole world. However, the question has always been how to show the thousand-year-old treasures to more people but still protect them at the same time. Thus, the “Digital Dunhuang Project (数字敦煌工程)” came into being. The project was put forward around 1990 by Fan Jinshi, the “Daughter of Dunhuang”. She hoped to use digital technology to store the cultural treasures of the grottoes clearly and carefully. The Digital Dunhuang was set up in 2006 and a professional team was built. After eight years, digital images were used to make an 8K movie. By 2022, digital data (数据) of 278 grottoes had been collected. Mogao Grottoes Digital Exhibition Center, which is 15 km from the real site, was built to help people have a better understanding of the Mogao Grottoes before paying a visit to the real grottoes. For example, people can enjoy some movies about murals created with the help of digital data in the center. The new form results in a win-win situation between the protection of murals and the development of tourism. The Mogao Grottoes are not just old walls with paintings — they are windows to the great art. With the help of digital tools, these amazing murals are being protected well. This way, more people can enjoy these beautiful stories and learn about ancient times in the future.

As the name suggests, the global navigation satellite system works all day and all night to serve people. It can help people navigate and locate things. From what we have known so far, building a good satellite system costs a lot. Besides, the other systems in other countries have been set up. Why does China have a new one? The other three systems have 24 satellites, but BDS has 6 more. What’s special about these six satellites is that they have a relatively fixed (固定的) area of activity. This can improve BDS’ accuracy (精准度) in China and the Asia-Pacific areas to 5 meters, compared with a 10-meter accuracy in other areas. What’s more, it allows users to have a two-way communication. In areas not covered by communication signals (信号) such as deserts, forests, mountainous and polar area, we were not able to send short messages. But with the help of BDS, we can do that now. With this service, users who are in danger can tell others their location and condition. As a country with a large population, it’s important for China to have its own global navigation satellite system. And as China develops fast, a navigation satellite system is in great need In fact, BDS is also good business. According to the official report, China’s satellite industry (产业) has kept a 20% yearly growth since 2012. And 80% of it is brought by BDS. In addition, BDS has also created countless high-paying jobs. And with continuous improvement, it will have much more to offer in the future. 1 2 3 4 5 【答案】1．24-hour/24 hours’ 2．advantages 3．available/possible 4．the requirements/the great requirements/the needs/the great needs 5．improving 【导语】本文是说明文。主要介绍了中国的北斗卫星导航系统（BDS），包括其作为世界第四大导航系统的基本情况、优势、建设背景以及未来发展。 1．根据“As the name suggests, the global navigation satellite system works all day and all night to serve people.”可知，它提供24小时服务，帮助人们导航和定位。故填24-hour/24 hours’。 2．根据文中第三段可知，北斗卫星导航系统的诸多优点，如比其他三个系统多6颗卫星、特定区域精确度更高以及允许用户进行双向交流，应用复数名词advantages。故填advantages。 3．根据“In areas not covered by communication signals (信号) such as deserts, forests, mountainous and polar areas; we were not able to send short messages. But with the help of BDS, we can do that now.”可知，北斗卫星导航系统使短信息服务在沙漠、森林等地区成为可能，available/possible都符合语境。故填available/possible。 4．根据“And as China develops fast, a navigation satellite system is in great need.”可知，它满足了中国发展的需求。故填the requirements/the great requirements/the needs/the great needs。 5．根据“And with continuous improvement, it will have much more to offer in the future.”可知，它将不断改进，人们能期待更多。故填improving。 Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·四川成都·期中）完成图表。根据短文内容，完成图表中所缺信息，词数不限。 With just a boat, a paddle (桨) and a bit of water, you can experience fun and exercise in a kayak. Kayaking is a kind of paddling sport, and people often mistake it for canoeing (划独木舟), but they are quite different, Kayakers sit on the floor of the boat while canoeists sit on a bench. Also, kayak paddles have a wide flat part on either end, but canoe paddles have them on only one end. Within kayaking, there are a few styles that need different levels of skill and fitness. Anyone can enjoy relaxing kayaking, most often paddling on a lake or perhaps a gentle river. Whitewater kayaking is much more exciting because boats travel down fast rivers and even over small waterfalls. Surf kayakers must be both strong-willed and talented as they ride waves on the open ocean. The difficulty involved with kayaking is transportation—a boat several meters long is not exactly easy to carry around. However, a man who had to leave his kayak behind when moving to a smaller apartment borrowed the idea of Japanese paper folding, and made a new type of special kayak. He could fold it into a very thin pack, allowing the kayak to easily fit in a car. In this way, the problem was perfectly solved. Kayaking can offer sightseeing opportunities and a good way to exercise certain parts of the body. Paddling is helpful for strengthening the upper body and it requires continuing turning of your main body, giving it some great exercise. Another advantage is that these movements are gentler on the body’s joints and tissues (关节和组织) than running. Kayaking doesn’t just improve the health of the body, though—it also has been shown to make you less stressed as well. With so many benefits, why not head to the closest water and give it a try? 1 between kayaking and canoeing Kayakers sit on the floor of the boat. Canoeists sit on a bench.

If you’re often thirsty for learning more about something, then you probably are. But as American researcher Perry Zurn points out; not all curious minds are cut from the same cloth. There are at least three styles of curiosity: “busybodies,” “hunters” and “dancers.” “Busybodies” like to collect bits of information on all kinds of topics. They’re not chasing (追求) any certain goal. They’re just interested in the world around them. “Hunters” go after the answers which they are sure about. They follow a clear road to reach their goals. “Dancers” jump at new ideas or connected old ones in new ways. They would like to take the road less traveled. Zurn and his team went on to see how these curiosity styles play out in real life. They researched readers of the online Wikipedia (维基百科). These 482, 000 people are from 50 countries. For each person, the team looked at how many different topics he or she read about and how closely those topics were connected. For example, did someone look up Pierre Perifel—a famous film director, and then read about his new film, The Bad Guys 27 Or did he or she jump from the film director to Pu’er tea? The results showed that all three types of curious minds exist (存在) among today’s internet users. “Busybodies” read widely, but they especially liked sports, food and the arts. “Hunters” cared more about science and technology. Interestingly, they were more possibly to feel stressed after their curious search than the other two types. That’s probably because they had a stronger drive to fill in the blanks (空白处) in their knowledge. Zurn says we are each born with a natural curiosity style. However, our style isn’t set in stone. We can develop the other two styles by spending time with teachers or friends who think differently. That’s good news. After all, curiosity works best when all three styles exist in one mind. Curiosity Styles the background Perry Zurn points out not all curious minds have the same style. 1 to three styles “busybodies” They like to collect bits of information on all kinds of topics 2 chasing any certain goal. “hunters” They follow a clear road to reach the exact answers. “dancers” They jump at new ideas or connected old ones in new ways. the research on how curiosity styles work the research Zurn and his team did * The research 3 482,000 readers of the online Wikipedia from 50 countries. * The team looked at how many different topics they read about and how closely those topics were connected. the conclusion *“Busybodies” read widely, but they especially liked sports, food and the arts. *“Hunters” cared more about science and technology and the blanks in their knowledge more probably 4 their stress. advice We can develop different curiosity styles by spending time with teachers or friends who think differently 5 curiosity can work best in our minds. 【答案】1．the introduction 2．without 3．involved 4．caused 5．so that 【导语】本文主要介绍了三种不同类型好奇的人，分别是爱管闲事的人、猎人和舞者。 1．根据“There are at least three styles of curiosity: ‘busybodies,’ ‘hunters’ and ‘dancers.’”以及表格中右边的内容可知，此处是指三种风格的介绍。the introduction to“……的介绍”。故填the introduction。 2．根据“‘Busybodies’ like to collect bits of information on all kinds of topics.

Your heart starts racing right away, and you breathe quickly. You are ready for a fight. The fact, however, is that some books fell off the broken shelf. But the reaction (反应) of your body seems as if you were in danger. Fear is one of our strongest and most primary feelings. Being afraid of certain things protects us from possible dangers. Some fears are in our brains since birth, but we also develop new fears from our life. Most of us can ignore (忽略) the fears when it’s clear that we aren’t in any upcoming danger. However, people with phobias (恐惧症) have a strong fear response (反应) that causes both physical and mental pain. These fears are grouped into three different kinds: agoraphobia, social phobia and specific phobias. Agoraphobia generally refers to the fear of open spaces. Social phobia is the great fear of all social events, while specific phobias are the fear of certain situations. Among them, specific phobias are the ones that trouble people the most. For example, somebody who has a great fear of heights may even try their best not to walk on a bridge. What’s behind the phobias? Let me show you. A friend of mine developed the fear of dogs after being hurt. One of my classmates dares not to swim because he once fell into a river. So you see, as soon as the brain thinks something is scary, it turns on the fight or flight response — preparing the body for action or leaving to make sure we stay alive. Remember that it’s normal to feel scared sometimes, but if you feel this way too often and get sick, you should see a doctor. •Situation: Home alone at night, hearing a loud sound. •Reaction: A racing heart and 2 .

However, he is best known for his unbelievable skills in calligraphy (书法). He was so talented that he became the most famous calligrapher of his time. For his brilliant achievements, he is still remembered and respected as the “Sage (圣人) of Calligraphy”. Wang’s uncles and cousins were all famous calligraphers of their time. At seven, Wang began learning calligraphy from a female calligrapher, Wei Shuo. Wang was such a hard-working student that he tried his best to improve calligraphy. He kept copying the Wei-style calligraphy for years and learned much from her works. In addition, when coming up with some good ideas, he would write them down at any time. In 353, Wang invited famous people to gather at the Orchid Pavilion. The guests were asked to write poems while drinking. After collecting all the poems, Wang wrote xingshu-style Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection (《兰亭集序》) on his own, describing how happy these men were. Wang’s Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection is more popular than his other art works. His talents in calligraphy were fully shown in this work. Wang Xizhi set a great example for calligraphers who came after him. His style became the model that many calligraphers followed for centuries. His work, Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection, is more than a piece of art. It is a timeless treasure that continues to inspire all who love Chinese culture. Even now, his work is widely studied by students and artists because it symbolizes the Chinese culture.

You know you can sell millions of them, but first of all, you must give the product a name—a brand name. And that may not be as easy as you think. The brand name is the thing that makes your product stand out from all the others. Businesses spend a lot of time thinking about brand names; when the name has been picked, it’s very difficult to change, so companies have to get it right first time. So how do you choose a name? A brand name should be special, memorable and easy to understand. It should create some kind of emotional connection with people who buy the product—the target (目标) market. Some companies use the family name. When Henry Ford started making cars, he just called the company Ford. Some companies use wordplay. It’s a common way for naming apps, for example WhatsApp (from the English expression What’s up? As they sound similar). But what do you have to be careful about? Well, you shouldn’t choose a name that may not work in certain countries or cultures. Many years ago, a car company produced a new car that they called Nova. They thought it suggested something nice and new, but in Spanish it can be read as no va (“it doesn’t go”). Not a good name for a car in Spain! So you need to be aware of the cultures in different countries. These days, the choice of brand name is quite important if your product is aimed at teenage market. A teacher in an American high school said, “Teenagers won’t buy something that’s almost the same, even if it’s cheaper—simply because they feel they must wear something with the right logo instead of one that looks similar.” Companies know that the name isn’t everything—the product has to be good enough, of course—it is the most important part of the whole package. 1． 2． 3． 4． 5． 【答案】1．Importance 2．Requirements/Quality/Qualities/Standard(s) 3．the similar pronunciation/the same pronunciation 4．cultural difference/cultural misunderstanding 5．quality 【导语】本文是一篇关于选择产品品牌名称的指南，强调了品牌名的重要性，提供了命名建议，并提醒注意文化差异。最终指出，产品质量是核心。 1．根据“it’s very difficult to change, so companies have to get it right first time.”可知，此处介绍它的重要性。故填Importance。 2．根据“So how do you choose a name? A brand name should be special, memorable and easy to understand”可知，此处介绍品牌名字的必备要求或条件，故填Requirements/Quality/Qualities/Standard(s)。 3．根据“Some companies use wordplay. It’s a common technique for naming apps, for example WhatsApp (from the English expression What’s up?As they sound similar.)”可知，使用文字游戏就是通过相似的发音来命名。故填the similar pronunciation/the same pronunciation。 4．根据“Well, you shouldn’t choose a name that may not work in certain countries or cultures.”可知，注意文化差异或文化误解。故填cultural difference/cultural misunderstanding。 5．根据“Companies know that the name isn’t everything—the product has to be good enough, of course—it is the most important part of the whole package.”可知，产品本身的质量是最重要的部分。因此，在“Conclusion”这一部分，可以填写“quality”来表示产品的质量是最重要的。故填quality。 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·四川成都·期中）根据短文内容完成图表中所缺信息。 Time flies when we play on our smartphone apps. But when we get down to study, one hour feels like a year. Why are we so interested in smartphones but easily bored with studying? It is all because of dopamine (多巴胺). Dopamine is a “happy chemical (化学物质)” that makes people feel good. Our brains give it out when we eat delicious food, read interesting books…… Compared with studying, playing on smartphones causes our brains to give out more dopamine. For example, dopamine increases by 400% when we check our phone for a message. But why? When we are going through information on apps, we don’t know what we’ll see next, or who will give their thoughts on our posts. “The magic of maybe” fires up the dopamine system (系统). We are wondering if we receive opinions from friends. And our brain sees the new information we get as a kind of “prize”. Studying doesn’t provide such uncertain things because we have already known what we will get in class. As a result, we won’t continue to study carefully for a long time. Can we make use of the idea to help us learn new things? Sure! The key is to keep getting uncertainty and “prizes”. For students, we should encourage ourselves to keep learning new things every day. If possible, we should share our new knowledge with our classmates when we can. All the new knowledge and classmates praise (称赞) may be seen as “prizes” by our brain. So we can keep getting more dopamine and then keep learning more. 1． 2． 3． 4． 5． 【答案】1．happiness 2．different situations 3．produces/brings/gives out 4．new 5．interest 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了多巴胺是什么，它在不同情况下（玩手机和学习时）是如何工作的，以及我们如何利用多巴胺来帮助我们学习新事物。 1．根据文章第二段“Dopamine is a ‘happy chemical’ that makes people feel good.”可知，多巴胺能给人们带来快乐。故填happiness。 2．根据图表结构，该空下方分为“When we’re playing on the smartphones”和“When we’re studying”两种情况，结合文章第三至五段内容可知，此处介绍的是多巴胺在不同情况下的工作原理。故填different situations。 3．根据文章第三段“Compared with studying, playing on smartphones causes our brains to give out more dopamine.”可知，看手机会产生/带来/释放更多多巴胺。故填produces/brings/gives out。 4．根据文章第四段“And our brain sees the new information we get as a kind of ‘prize’.”可知，收到新信息会让我们感到兴奋。故填new。 5．根据文章第一段“Why are we so interested in smartphones but easily bored with studying?”以及第五段“As a result, we won’t continue to study carefully for a long time.”可知，学习已知的事物无法激发多巴胺，我们很快就会失去学习的兴趣。故填interest。 Passage 2 （23-24九年级上·四川成都·期中）If you want to become a fluent English speaker, you should take some advice: There are four skills in learning English. They are listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills you should first master the skills of reading and listening. Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentence, the meaning of the unfamiliar words, etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammar or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across, but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example, in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it. As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs(输入) in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening. For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy. Or if you are good at listening, you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes. If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve automatically, and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect. Ways to Improve Your English Speaking and Writing Skills Four 1 Reading, listening, speaking and writing Some advice on reading ●Read as much as you can. ●Read 2 and think about what the sentence and the unfamiliar words mean. ● 3 to grammar or to what the unfamiliar words mean. ●Prepare a notebook where you can write down the important words or sentences. Some advice on listening ●Keep listening for 4 an hour every day. ●Focus more on the reading and try to do well in reading, which can help you listen better. ●Listen to cartoons or some movies specially made for children, whose languages are not 5 to follow. ●Listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. ●Listen actively and you’d better take some notes. 【答案】1．skills 2．actively 3．Don’t pay much attention 4．half 5．difficult 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了如何提高英语口语和写作技能，为想要流利表达英语的人提供了一些实用的建议。 1．根据文章第1段“There are four skills in learning English. They are listening, speaking, reading, and writing.（学习英语有四项技能。它们是听、说、读、写。）”可推知结论学习英语包含四项技能。故填skills。 2．根据文章第2段“But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentence, the meaning of the unfamiliar words, etc.（但你的阅读必须是积极主动的。这意味着你必须思考句子的意思、不熟悉的单词的意思等等。）”可推知结论阅读时要积极主动，此处修饰动词read需用副词形式。故填actively。 3．根据文章第2段“There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammar…（你无需过分关注语法……）”可推知结论不需要在语法上投入太多注意力，此处为祈使句，表示“不要过多关注”。故填Don’t pay much attention。 4．根据文章第3段“...you can listen every day for about 30 minutes.（……你可以每天听大约30分钟。）”可推知结论每天需要听半小时，30分钟即半小时（half an hour）。故填half。 5．根据文章第4段“For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy.（对于听力，你可以听专门为儿童制作的卡通片或电影。他们的语言很简单。）”可推知结论儿童卡通或电影的语言很简单，即不难（not difficult）理解和跟上。故填difficult。 Passage 3 （23-24九年级上·四川成都·期中）根据短文内容，完成图表中所缺信息。 As China grows stronger and stronger, more and more foreign people have started to learn Chinese. However, many of them have discovered it is very difficult to learn Chinese, especially at home without anyone’s help. The problem has caught the attention of a famous AI company (人工智能公司) in China. To help foreigners learn Chinese, it has developed a smartphone app called iFlyChinese. With the help of AI-based voice technologies, the app users can learn Chinese wisely and quickly.

It is one of the most famous murals (壁画) from the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang. There are about 45,000 m² of murals like that there. Without doubt, the beauty of Dunhuang and the Mogao Grottoes should be seen by the whole world. However, the question has always been how to show the thousand-year-old treasures to more people but still protect them at the same time. That’s where the “Digital Dunhuang (数字敦煌)” project (工程) came from. The project was put forward around 1990 by Fan Jinshi, the “Daughter of Dunhuang”. She hoped to use digital technology to store the cultural treasures of the grottoes clearly and correctly. The Digital Center was set up in 2006 and a professional team was built. After eight years, digital images were used to make an 8K movie. By 2022, digital data (数据) of 278 grottoes had been collected. The Mogao Grottoes Digital Exhibition Center, which is 16 km from the real site, is an important part of the project. Covering an area of about 100,000 m², it was opened to the public in 2014. It was built to help people have a better understanding of the Mogao Grottoes before paying a visit to the real grottoes. For example, people can enjoy some movies about murals created with the help of digital data in the center. The new form results in a win-win situation between the protection of murals and the development of tourism. The Mogao Grottoes are not just old walls with paintings—they are windows to the great art. With the help of digital tools, these amazing murals are being protected well. This way, more people can enjoy these beautiful stories and learn about ancient times in the future.

There is a little space between them, and you can even see the sky through these breaks. This is called “crown (树冠) shyness”. Meg Lowman, a tree expert, explains that it’s a very wise way for trees to stay healthy. Trees are always competing for sunlight and water. With more space, trees can grow bigger and stronger. By keeping a certain distance from each other, they also lower the chance of losing leaves and flowers when they brush against neighbouring trees in the wind. Leaves help trees get sunlight while flowers develop into fruits. Also, just like we stay away from sick people, trees keep their leaves from touching other trees. This helps stop harmful (有害的) insects and illness from spreading.       “Nature is connected closely with human beings,” Lowman says. Forests help clean the air we breathe. Healthy trees offer us cool places in summer and clean water better. They also provide homes for so many amazing animals and plants. “The healthier the forest is, the more benefits the owner will get,” he says. “When a tree gets sick, don’t just cut it down. Trees support many living things like insects and birds. That’s how they keep the balance,” the expert adds. Trees know that being good neighbors helps everyone stay healthy and strong—that’s a great lesson for us too! Just like trees need their space, keeping a private space from others is also important for us. So next time you see trees, remember they touch us to be good neighbors. Crown Shyness—The wisdom of trees It is a fact that the trees keep some space on the tops to avoid 1 to keep healthy. The reasons that Crown Shyness happens* Trees with more space grow bigger and stronger because they can win more 2 * Trees lose leaves and flowers when they brush against the trees nearby in the wind. * It prevents harmful insects and the sicknesses from spreading.

They understand the importance of staying clean and often take baths or showers daily. But this wasn’t always the case. In medieval times, people knew that washing with water was good. Some guidebooks even explained why keeping clean was important. However, a few offered strange advice—like not bathing in summer, or avoiding long baths to prevent getting fat. Rich people enjoyed bathing in wooden tubs filled with hot water by their servants. They often added perfume or flower petals (花瓣) to make the water smell nice. Having your own bath was a sign of importance. For example, King John used to take his bathtub with him whenever he traveled. Most people didn’t have a bath at home. Instead, they went to public baths, which were often built next to bakeries. The heat from baking bread was used to warm the water. Those without access to public baths washed with a cloth and cold water. When the weather was warm, they would swim in a river to get clean. By the early 1800s, crowded cities had become dirty, and people began to realize the importance of hygiene (卫生). Some families bought metal bathtubs, though for most people there was no bathroom and the water still had to be carried in from outside and heated up. Many couldn’t bathe at home but could afford to visit public baths once a week. Around the same time, sea bathing became popular as people believed salt water could help with skin problems. Bathing habits changed for good in the late 19th century when water pipes (水管) were built directly into homes. Taking baths became much easier. However, some homes in the UK, especially in the countryside, didn’t have running water until as late as the 1960s.

Now, scientists have uncovered something fascinating in this busy city of our brain: special places called “emotional centers.” These areas light up and become active no matter what language we speak, showing us that the way we feel emotions(情感) is something everyone shares, no matter where they’re from. Emotions like happiness, sadness, fear, and excitement are feelings we all experience. But have you ever wondered how our brains process these emotions? Recent research has showed that there are certain places in our brains, which researchers are calling “emotional hubs,” where all these feelings come to life. These hubs work the same way in everyone’s brain, which is an amazing discovery because it suggests that no matter if you’re speaking Chinese, English, or any other language, our brains feel emotions in the same way. Understanding that there are emotional hubs in our brains helps scientists and doctors in many ways. For example, it can improve how we treat emotional and mental health problems. If we know where emotions come from in the brain, doctors can develop better treatments for people who might feel too sad or too worried. This discovery also teaches us something important about being human. It shows that deep down, we’re all quite similar. We all experience joy at a friend’s success, sadness during a sad movie, or fear when we hear a scary story. These emotional hubs in our brains remind us that no matter where we live or what language we speak, we all share the same human experiences. Scientists are excited about this discovery because it opens up new ways for research. They’re interested in looking into how these emotional hubs work and how they connect with other parts of the brain. This could lead to even more fascinating discoveries about how we think, feel, and communicate with the world around us. Understanding Our Brain’s Feelings Discovering the heart of emotion in our brains Scientists have found the special areas in the brain that 1 feelings and they work the same for everyone. The common language of emotion These special areas which 2 “emotional hubs” show that all people feel emotions in a similar way, no matter what language they speak. Why does this 3 ?

As the name suggests, the global navigation satellite system works all day and all night to serve people. It can help people navigate and locate things. From what we have known so far, building a good satellite system costs a lot. Besides, the other systems in other countries have been set up. Why does China have a new one? The other three systems have 24 satellites, but BDS has 6 more. What’s special about these six satellites is that they have a relatively fixed (固定的) area of activity. This can improve BDS’ accuracy (精准度) in China and the Asia-Pacific areas to 5 meters, compared with a 10-meter accuracy in other areas. What’s more, it allows users to have a two-way communication. In areas not covered by communication signals (信号) such as deserts, forests, mountainous and polar area, we were not able to send short messages. But with the help of BDS, we can do that now. With this service, users who are in danger can tell others their location and condition. As a country with a large population, it’s important for China to have its own global navigation satellite system. And as China develops fast, a navigation satellite system is in great need In fact, BDS is also good business. According to the official report, China’s satellite industry (产业) has kept a 20% yearly growth since 2012. And 80% of it is brought by BDS. In addition, BDS has also created countless high-paying jobs. And with continuous improvement, it will have much more to offer in the future. 1 2 3 4 5 Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·四川成都·期中）完成图表。根据短文内容，完成图表中所缺信息，词数不限。 With just a boat, a paddle (桨) and a bit of water, you can experience fun and exercise in a kayak. Kayaking is a kind of paddling sport, and people often mistake it for canoeing (划独木舟), but they are quite different, Kayakers sit on the floor of the boat while canoeists sit on a bench. Also, kayak paddles have a wide flat part on either end, but canoe paddles have them on only one end. Within kayaking, there are a few styles that need different levels of skill and fitness. Anyone can enjoy relaxing kayaking, most often paddling on a lake or perhaps a gentle river. Whitewater kayaking is much more exciting because boats travel down fast rivers and even over small waterfalls. Surf kayakers must be both strong-willed and talented as they ride waves on the open ocean. The difficulty involved with kayaking is transportation—a boat several meters long is not exactly easy to carry around. However, a man who had to leave his kayak behind when moving to a smaller apartment borrowed the idea of Japanese paper folding, and made a new type of special kayak. He could fold it into a very thin pack, allowing the kayak to easily fit in a car. In this way, the problem was perfectly solved. Kayaking can offer sightseeing opportunities and a good way to exercise certain parts of the body. Paddling is helpful for strengthening the upper body and it requires continuing turning of your main body, giving it some great exercise. Another advantage is that these movements are gentler on the body’s joints and tissues (关节和组织) than running. Kayaking doesn’t just improve the health of the body, though—it also has been shown to make you less stressed as well. With so many benefits, why not head to the closest water and give it a try? 1 between kayaking and canoeing Kayakers sit on the floor of the boat. Canoeists sit on a bench.

If you’re often thirsty for learning more about something, then you probably are. But as American researcher Perry Zurn points out; not all curious minds are cut from the same cloth. There are at least three styles of curiosity: “busybodies,” “hunters” and “dancers.” “Busybodies” like to collect bits of information on all kinds of topics. They’re not chasing (追求) any certain goal. They’re just interested in the world around them. “Hunters” go after the answers which they are sure about. They follow a clear road to reach their goals. “Dancers” jump at new ideas or connected old ones in new ways. They would like to take the road less traveled. Zurn and his team went on to see how these curiosity styles play out in real life. They researched readers of the online Wikipedia (维基百科). These 482, 000 people are from 50 countries. For each person, the team looked at how many different topics he or she read about and how closely those topics were connected. For example, did someone look up Pierre Perifel—a famous film director, and then read about his new film, The Bad Guys 27 Or did he or she jump from the film director to Pu’er tea? The results showed that all three types of curious minds exist (存在) among today’s internet users. “Busybodies” read widely, but they especially liked sports, food and the arts. “Hunters” cared more about science and technology. Interestingly, they were more possibly to feel stressed after their curious search than the other two types. That’s probably because they had a stronger drive to fill in the blanks (空白处) in their knowledge. Zurn says we are each born with a natural curiosity style. However, our style isn’t set in stone. We can develop the other two styles by spending time with teachers or friends who think differently. That’s good news. After all, curiosity works best when all three styles exist in one mind. Curiosity Styles the background Perry Zurn points out not all curious minds have the same style. 1 to three styles “busybodies” They like to collect bits of information on all kinds of topics 2 chasing any certain goal. “hunters” They follow a clear road to reach the exact answers. “dancers” They jump at new ideas or connected old ones in new ways. the research on how curiosity styles work the research Zurn and his team did * The research 3 482,000 readers of the online Wikipedia from 50 countries. * The team looked at how many different topics they read about and how closely those topics were connected. the conclusion *“Busybodies” read widely, but they especially liked sports, food and the arts. *“Hunters” cared more about science and technology and the blanks in their knowledge more probably 4 their stress. advice We can develop different curiosity styles by spending time with teachers or friends who think differently 5 curiosity can work best in our minds. Passage 5 （25-26九年级上·四川成都·期中）阅读下面短文，根据其内容，完成表格中所缺的信息。 Home alone at night, you hear a loud sound. Your heart starts racing right away, and you breathe quickly. You are ready for a fight. The fact, however, is that some books fell off the broken shelf. But the reaction (反应) of your body seems as if you were in danger. Fear is one of our strongest and most primary feelings. Being afraid of certain things protects us from possible dangers. Some fears are in our brains since birth, but we also develop new fears from our life. Most of us can ignore (忽略) the fears when it’s clear that we aren’t in any upcoming danger. However, people with phobias (恐惧症) have a strong fear response (反应) that causes both physical and mental pain. These fears are grouped into three different kinds: agoraphobia, social phobia and specific phobias. Agoraphobia generally refers to the fear of open spaces. Social phobia is the great fear of all social events, while specific phobias are the fear of certain situations. Among them, specific phobias are the ones that trouble people the most. For example, somebody who has a great fear of heights may even try their best not to walk on a bridge. What’s behind the phobias? Let me show you. A friend of mine developed the fear of dogs after being hurt. One of my classmates dares not to swim because he once fell into a river. So you see, as soon as the brain thinks something is scary, it turns on the fight or flight response — preparing the body for action or leaving to make sure we stay alive.

However, he is best known for his unbelievable skills in calligraphy (书法). He was so talented that he became the most famous calligrapher of his time. For his brilliant achievements, he is still remembered and respected as the “Sage (圣人) of Calligraphy”. Wang’s uncles and cousins were all famous calligraphers of their time. At seven, Wang began learning calligraphy from a female calligrapher, Wei Shuo. Wang was such a hard-working student that he tried his best to improve calligraphy. He kept copying the Wei-style calligraphy for years and learned much from her works. In addition, when coming up with some good ideas, he would write them down at any time. In 353, Wang invited famous people to gather at the Orchid Pavilion. The guests were asked to write poems while drinking. After collecting all the poems, Wang wrote xingshu-style Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection (《兰亭集序》) on his own, describing how happy these men were. Wang’s Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection is more popular than his other art works. His talents in calligraphy were fully shown in this work. Wang Xizhi set a great example for calligraphers who came after him. His style became the model that many calligraphers followed for centuries. His work, Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection, is more than a piece of art. It is a timeless treasure that continues to inspire all who love Chinese culture. Even now, his work is widely studied by students and artists because it symbolizes the Chinese culture.

Passage 7 （25-26九年级上·四川成都·期中）根据短文内容，完成图表所缺信息，词数不限。 Imagine you’ve thought of a product to make and sell—a game, or an app, or some clothes for example. You know you can sell millions of them, but first of all, you must give the product a name—a brand name. And that may not be as easy as you think. The brand name is the thing that makes your product stand out from all the others. Businesses spend a lot of time thinking about brand names; when the name has been picked, it’s very difficult to change, so companies have to get it right first time. So how do you choose a name? A brand name should be special, memorable and easy to understand. It should create some kind of emotional connection with people who buy the product—the target (目标) market. Some companies use the family name. When Henry Ford started making cars, he just called the company Ford. Some companies use wordplay. It’s a common way for naming apps, for example WhatsApp (from the English expression What’s up? As they sound similar). But what do you have to be careful about? Well, you shouldn’t choose a name that may not work in certain countries or cultures. Many years ago, a car company produced a new car that they called Nova. They thought it suggested something nice and new, but in Spanish it can be read as no va (“it doesn’t go”). Not a good name for a car in Spain! So you need to be aware of the cultures in different countries. These days, the choice of brand name is quite important if your product is aimed at teenage market. A teacher in an American high school said, “Teenagers won’t buy something that’s almost the same, even if it’s cheaper—simply because they feel they must wear something with the right logo instead of one that looks similar.” Companies know that the name isn’t everything—the product has to be good enough, of course—it is the most important part of the whole package. 1． 2． 3． 4． 5． Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·四川成都·期中）根据短文内容完成图表中所缺信息。 Time flies when we play on our smartphone apps. But when we get down to study, one hour feels like a year. Why are we so interested in smartphones but easily bored with studying? It is all because of dopamine (多巴胺). Dopamine is a “happy chemical (化学物质)” that makes people feel good. Our brains give it out when we eat delicious food, read interesting books…… Compared with studying, playing on smartphones causes our brains to give out more dopamine. For example, dopamine increases by 400% when we check our phone for a message. But why? When we are going through information on apps, we don’t know what we’ll see next, or who will give their thoughts on our posts. “The magic of maybe” fires up the dopamine system (系统). We are wondering if we receive opinions from friends. And our brain sees the new information we get as a kind of “prize”. Studying doesn’t provide such uncertain things because we have already known what we will get in class. As a result, we won’t continue to study carefully for a long time. Can we make use of the idea to help us learn new things? Sure! The key is to keep getting uncertainty and “prizes”. For students, we should encourage ourselves to keep learning new things every day. If possible, we should share our new knowledge with our classmates when we can. All the new knowledge and classmates praise (称赞) may be seen as “prizes” by our brain. So we can keep getting more dopamine and then keep learning more. 1． 2． 3． 4． 5． Passage 2 （23-24九年级上·四川成都·期中）If you want to become a fluent English speaker, you should take some advice: There are four skills in learning English. They are listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills you should first master the skills of reading and listening. Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentence, the meaning of the unfamiliar words, etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammar or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across, but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example, in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it. As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs(输入) in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening. For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy. Or if you are good at listening, you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes. If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve automatically, and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect.

There are about 45,000 m² of murals like that there. Without doubt, the beauty of Dunhuang and the Mogao Grottoes should be seen by the whole world. However, the question has always been how to show the thousand-year-old treasures to more people but still protect them at the same time. That’s where the “Digital Dunhuang (数字敦煌)” project (工程) came from. The project was put forward around 1990 by Fan Jinshi, the “Daughter of Dunhuang”. She hoped to use digital technology to store the cultural treasures of the grottoes clearly and correctly. The Digital Center was set up in 2006 and a professional team was built. After eight years, digital images were used to make an 8K movie. By 2022, digital data (数据) of 278 grottoes had been collected. The Mogao Grottoes Digital Exhibition Center, which is 16 km from the real site, is an important part of the project. Covering an area of about 100,000 m², it was opened to the public in 2014. It was built to help people have a better understanding of the Mogao Grottoes before paying a visit to the real grottoes. For example, people can enjoy some movies about murals created with the help of digital data in the center. The new form results in a win-win situation between the protection of murals and the development of tourism. The Mogao Grottoes are not just old walls with paintings—they are windows to the great art. With the help of digital tools, these amazing murals are being protected well. This way, more people can enjoy these beautiful stories and learn about ancient times in the future.
