She got much better after receiving a special treatment at a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) hospital in Beijing, China. Like her, many international patients are turning to TCM. The Chinese government has reached agreements with more than 40 countries. Today, TCM practices have reached 196 countries and regions. TCM is now popular with both people from other countries and young Chinese. In cities like Shanghai, herbal-flavored (草本风味) ice cream has become popular. On social media, traditional Chinese practices are also becoming popular. For example, Baduanjin, a traditional exercise, has been watched nearly 900 million times. TCM Tea has been even more popular. People share natural health methods, believing these can help with health problems caused by using phones and computers. “Young people are paying more attention to their health,” said Deng Yong, a professor at Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. “TCM’s idea of finding the real reason for illness and balancing the body meets their needs.” From Russians feeling better to Chinese young people drinking herbal tea while using social media, TCM is quietly changing.

Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·安徽六安·期中）Hello, kids! Today, we are going to learn about something really cool—making fans. And these fans are special. They are not just tools, they are pieces of art! Xu Jiadong is 57 years old. He still remembers the day he went to a bamboo forest with his father. They were looking for a special kind of bamboo called “jade bamboo” to make fan ribs (扇骨). This kind has a special white coating (薄膜) and it keeps the bamboo healthy and smooth (光滑的). Bamboo for fans needs to be just right—not too young and not too old. Five-year-old plants are the best. Xu learned from his father. Now, Xu is really good at making fan ribs. He says that the beauty of a fan is in its lines and turns. When a fan is closed, you can see the two main bamboo pieces that hold it together. Folding fans are not just for cooling off. They are full of art and culture. Xu’s dad always made fans by himself. He believed that making every part of the fan by himself kept his art special. Xu still picks bamboo every year. He cooks it, dries it, and keeps it in his workshop for five years. This makes the bamboo strong and ready for making fans. When you hold a fan, you can feel its story. And that’s the magic of fan making! 1．What kind of bamboo is used for making fan ribs? A．Old bamboo. B．Young bamboo. C．Jade bamboo. D．Red bamboo. 2．Why does Xu keep the bamboo for five years before making fans? A．To make it soft. B．To make it strong. C．To make it colorful.

Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·安徽芜湖·期中） You may have heard of old Chinese water projects like Dujiangyan in Sichuan. But did you know there’s another great one in Anhui? It’s called Anfengtang, also known as Quebei. It’s one of China’s oldest projects for watering fields. And it’s over 2,600 years old. Anfengtang was built during the Spring and Autumn Period. A smart leader named Sun Shuao led people to build it. He saw that the area around Shouxian County in Anhui often had problems with droughts and floods. So he decided to build a big water-storing lake to control the water. Thousands of people dug water paths and built dams. They made a project that stored water and sent it to fields when needed. A long time ago, Anfengtang was very important for farming. It watered thousands of hectares of fields, making the area a “land of plenty”. Even after all these years, people are still using it for watering fields. Modern workers have fixed it up, but its main structure is still as smart as when it was first built. Anfengtang isn’t just a water project—it’s a sign of old smart ideas. Today, when you visit Shouxian County, you can still see the old dams and water paths. This old treasure from Anhui really shows that great projects can last for a long time! 1．When was Anfengtang built? A．During the Spring and Autumn Period. B．During the Han Dynasty. C．During the Ming Dynasty. D．In the 20th century. 2．What does the underlined word “droughts” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Heavy rains that cause floods. B．Cold periods with much snow. C．Dry periods with little or no rain. D．Open areas without any grass. 3．What is Anfengtang used for today? A．Parking cars. B．Watering fields. C．Swimming. D．Fishing. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．The History of Anhui B．The Story of Sun Shuao C．Modern Water Projects in China D．An Ancient Water Project Called Anfengtang Passage 4 （25-26九年级上·安徽宿州·期中）Hanfu fashion has become more and more popular with young people. China has followed Western fashion designs in recent years, but a growing number of young people are now looking to the past for fashion ideas. If you look closely around your city, you might notice hanfu, the traditional clothing of the Han Dynasty. In a recently published report by an online shopping platform, about 2 million hanfu clothes were sold in 2020, nearly 4 times as many as those sold in 2019. Most of the buyers are between 19 and 24 years old. But why has this traditional clothing become popular with young Chinese people? For some of them, it’s a costume for relaxation. Dafan, a 24-year-old college student, told CGTN that dressing in hanfu is a way for her to get away from the troubles of real life. Modern clothing, on the other hand, represents the identity (身份) people need to show every day. “Hanfu and modern clothing help me to show the different sides in me,” she said. Other teenagers like hanfu because of the culture behind it. They see it as a way to reconnect (再连接) with traditions. Its wide sleeves, crossed collars (领口) and flowing robes (飘逸的长袍) bring people back to ancient times. “Hanfu is the symbol (象征) of the Chinese traditional culture.” Nanhe, a 21-year-old costume studio owner, told CGTN. 1．Hanfu appeared (出现) in China ________. A．in 2018 B．in Tang Dynasty C．in 2019 D．in Han Dynasty 2．According to the passage, about ________ Hanfu clothes were sold in 2019.

B．Teenagers from 13 to 19 years old. C．Adults between 30 and 50 years old. D．People between 19 and 24 years old. 主题02 人与社会——科学技术 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·安徽合肥·期中）Now technology is developing fast, and AI is quickly entering the education field. Take “Xiaozhi”—an AI learning helper made by DeepSeek Company—as an example. With its intelligent analysis (分析) ability, it has opened a new world of smart learning for many students. “Xiaozhi” is like a smart learning helper. It can clearly find out the knowledge problems that students have in their homework and exams. Based on the reasons for the wrong answers and the weak knowledge points, it can make a set of special exercise questions for each student, helping them strengthen (加强) their knowledge. It can answer math problems right away. It stays with students day and night to explore knowledge, just like an online teacher. The research shows that after using “Xiaozhi”, students’ average math scores rose by 15%—a really exciting result. But AI education’s fast growth also brings deep thoughts. AI can pass on knowledge quickly, but it can hardly replace human teachers. Teachers are not just knowledge spreaders, but also guides for students’ hearts. They play a key role in giving care and shaping values. Also, we need to solve problems like keeping data (数据) safe and making rules about what content (内容) is okay for AI learning tools. Then, how can we make good rules to supervise (监管) AI in education and help it develop smoothly? This has become something the whole society cares about a lot. Looking ahead, what great changes will happen when AI and education work closely together? It’s really worth our expectation! 1．According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE about “Xiaozhi”? A．It can only help with math problems. B．It creates general exercise questions for all students. C．It can be used anytime as a learning helper. D．It has replaced human teachers in education. 2．Why is it hard for AI to replace human teachers? A．AI education products have data safety problems. B．Human teachers can offer care and shape students’ values. C．AI can’t analyze students’ knowledge problems. D．Human teachers are better at spreading knowledge. 3．What should the government do for AI education? A．Develop more AI learning helpers like “Xiaozhi”. B．Focus on improving the speed of AI spreading knowledge. C．Make good rules to supervise AI education. D．Encourage schools to use more AI products. 4．What is the writer’s attitude (态度) towards AI and education working together? A．Hopeful. B．Worried. C．Doubtful. D．Uninterested. Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·安徽合肥·期中） A man couldn’t stand up for two years. Beinao-1 sends small electrical signals (信号) to his legs. After using it, he is able to take some small steps with others’ help. A woman had trouble speaking. When she thinks of words in her mind, Beinao-1 turns her thoughts into text on a screen. Now she can “talk” to her family again. Beinao-1 is a breakthrough (突破) that Chinese scientists have made. With it, they have successfully helped several disabled people start to move and speak again, giving them a new chance at life. Beinao-1 uses a thin and soft electrode sheet. It can fit the brain comfortably. When it is put on the brain’s surface, it receives signals and sends them out. There’s also a small wireless device (无线设备) that can receive and translate the signals for a smart machine. With this “translator”, the machine can understand the thoughts from the brain and act. For example, if a disabled person thinks “I want to drink water”, a robotic arm can pick up a cup, fill it with water, lift it carefully to the person’s mouth, and finally put it back. In this way, Beinao-1 helps disabled people control things by thoughts. Beinao-1 is China’s completely self-developed technology. It has broken the world record in its field. It shows that China has become more powerful in high technology. We believe China will continue to lead the world in technology development. 1．How does Beinao-1 help the woman in paragraph 2? A．By talking to a robot. B．By writing letters to her family. C．By turning her thoughts into text. D．By sending signals to other people. 2．What does the underlined word “translator” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．A person who translates languages. B．A robotic arm that helps with actions. C．A screen that shows text from brain to people. D．A device that changes brain signals for machines. 3．What does the writer think of Beinao-1? A．Unclear. B．Hopeful. C．Uninterested. D．Negative. Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·安徽滁州·期中）When you are outside on a cold winter day, there is nothing more pleasant than having a nice hot meal. But what can you do if you can’t get a hot meal? Don’t worry. A kind of microwave bag can help you. The bag comes from a company called Willtex in Japan. The name of the bag is Willcook. The microwave bag is made up of a bag and a battery (电池). The bag looks like a common computer bag. It is only 160g. And the battery is 120g. If you put food into it, the food can get to 80℃ in just 5 minutes. To use the bag, you need to download a smartphone app called Hotopia. You can set the temperature between 40℃ and 250℃ with the smartphone app. The battery can help the bag work for about 8 hours. To make the food hot, you need to follow the following steps: First, you need to put the food into the bag. Next, close the bag. Then, make the bag work for about 5 minutes.

You might be surprised—sleep is actually a great helper for your memory, as Matt Walker talked about in his TED talk. First, sleep gets your brain ready before you learn new things. Think of your brain like a dry sponge (海绵). When you’ve slept well, it’s easy for your brain to “soak up (吸收)” new information. But if you don’t have sufficient sleep, your brain becomes like a sponge that’s already full of water. It can’t soak up new things, and you won’t remember them well. Second, sleep saves your new memories after you learn. It’s like pressing (按) the “save” button (按钮) on a computer. During deep sleep, your brain moves memories from a small “storage (存储) place” (where it keeps new things for a short time) to a bigger one (where they stay for a long time). Also, while you sleep, your brain “replays” the things you learned even faster than when you were awake. This makes those memories stronger. Third, sleep connects your new memories. It doesn’t just make every memory point better; it connects different new things together. The next day, you’ll see the connections you didn’t notice before. That’s why we can sleep on a problem instead of staying up to solve it—sleep helps you find answers. So, if you want to remember better, go to bed early. It’s a simple but useful tool for memory! 1．How does the text start? A．By introducing Matt Walker. B．By asking a question. C．By telling a story. D．By listing memory ways 2．What does the underlined (划线的) word “sufficient” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Enough. B．Sick. C．Empty. D．Wild 3．What does the brain do while you sleep to make memories stronger? A．It rests. B．It forgets old memories. C．It “replays” the things you learned. D．It connects old memories with new information. 4．Why can we sleep on a problem instead of staying up to solve it? A．Because staying up makes you feel tired the next day. B．Because sleep helps you find answers. C．Because staying up is bad for our health. D．Because sleep can make us understand the problem better.

Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·安徽合肥·期中）Does the Dead Sea (死海) sound like a place where you’d like to go swimming? What do you expect to see in it? Do you believe there are dead things in the Dead Sea? Lying in southwest Asia, the Dead Sea is about 80 kilometres long, about 18 kilometres wide and about 400 metres deep. It also has some other names, such as the Salt Sea, the East Sea, or the Sea of the Plain. Even though it’s called the Dead Sea, it isn’t a sea at all! It’s a lake. Different from other lakes you might have seen, the Dead Sea is a quite salty lake. In fact, the Dead Sea is one of the saltiest bodies of water in the world. The Dead Sea is so salty that nothing can live in it. That’s why it’s called the Dead Sea. And the Dead Sea stays quite salty because it gets only a little rain, and so little fresh water gets into the Dead Sea each year. Don’t let the name of the Dead Sea make you feel scared. The Dead Sea is a surprising place to visit, and many people go to the Dead Sea each year on holiday. One interesting thing is that anyone can float (漂浮) in the Dead Sea. So if you walk on the beach of the Dead Sea on a warm day, perhaps you can see many people floating in its waters. You might even see many of them reading books or magazines! 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By telling a story. B．By listing numbers. C．By giving examples. D．By asking questions 2．What does the underlined word “scared” mean? A．Tired. B．Lucky. C．Afraid. D．Excited. 3．What is the purpose of the passage? A．To ask for opinions on swimming in the Dead Sea. B．To share travelling experiences around the Dead Sea. C．To encourage more people to read books in the Dead Sea. D．To introduce one of the most surprising natural wonders of the world. Passage 4 （25-26九年级上·安徽蚌埠·期中）Where does the water in our homes come from? How do people change sea water into fresh water? How does water come into our homes? This passage will answer these questions. In most places, people get their water from lakes and rivers. In some places, people get their water from under the ground. They use wells to get the water. In some country areas away from the city water supply, people collect rainwater that falls on their roofs (房顶). Pipes from the roofs lead the water into tanks (罐子). In some countries that are in need of water, fresh water is made from sea water in special treatment factories. This is called desalination (脱盐). In most treatment factories, salt water is heated until it turns into steam (蒸汽) and the salt is left behind. When the steam is cooled, it becomes fresh water. Only a little salt is left in the fresh water. This makes the water taste better and also stops the pure water taking salts and minerals (矿物质) out of our bodies. Have you seen tanks or towers on the tops of buildings? These tanks or towers are used for keeping clean water. Before the water is put into these tanks or towers, it goes to a water treatment factory. Water is very important for all living things, but sometimes there is not enough water. We should use water wisely. 1．How does the writer begin the passage? A．By comparing ideas. B．By giving examples. C．By asking questions. D．By explaining reasons. 2．Where do people in most places get water from? A．Lakes and rivers. B．Lakes and underground water. C．Rivers and rainwater. D．Rainwater and underground water. 3．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to (指代)? A．Rainwater. B．Salt water. C．Fresh water. D．Pure water. 4．What are tanks or towers used for according to the passage? A．Storing salt. B．Storing pipes. C．Storing minerals. D．Storing clean water. 主题04 人与自然——环境保护 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·安徽合肥·期中）Around the world, buildings are going green! A green building is designed (设计) in a way that is not harmful to the environment. When planning green buildings, architects (建筑师) must think about how to use energy, water and other materials in an environment-friendly way. There are many ways to save energy. Architects can design buildings to use natural light. Buildings can also be made with solar or wind power to get energy from the sun or the wind. To save water, green buildings can have areas on the roofs to collect rainwater. Kitchens and bathrooms can have sinks (洗池) and toilets (马桶) that store (储存) water. Buildings around the world use these ways to go green. An office building in Melbourne, Australia, uses wind and solar power. A temple in Thailand is made of one million glass bottles, and it also lets natural light into the temple. More and more green buildings are being built and they are making the world a better place! 1．What do we know about a green building? A．It is usually painted green outside. B．It is designed by famous architects. C．It is built in an environment-friendly way. D．It uses more materials than other buildings. 2．Why do architects design buildings to use natural light?

C．By asking questions. D．By explaining reasons. 4．What can be the best title for the text? A．Designing Buildings B．Going Green C．Saving Water D．Using Energy Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·安徽阜阳·期中）In recent years, new consumption trends (消费趋势) have appeared among Chinese teenagers. These trends show their changing lifestyles and values (价值). One of the most obvious trends is “rational (理性的) consumption”. Unlike before, many teenagers now pay more attention to the practical value of products instead of just buying famous products. For example, when buying a pair of shoes, they will compare the quality (质量), comfort and price carefully. They are also more willing to buy cost-effective products. Besides, more and more teenagers are concerned about the environment. They prefer to buy environment-friendly products. Some teenagers even start “second-hand shopping”. They buy old books, clothes and electronic products. They think this not only saves money but also reduces waste. “Experience consumption” is also becoming popular. Teenagers are willing to spend money on experiences rather than material products. For example, they may spend money on traveling, attending concerts, taking online courses or doing outdoor activities. A 16-year-old boy from Beijing said, “I’d rather use my pocket money to go hiking with my friends than buy a new toy. The memories from the trip are more valuable to me.” These new consumption trends show that Chinese teenagers are becoming more responsible. They are not only thinking about their own needs but also caring about the environment and society. 1．What is the benefit (益处) of “second-hand shopping” according to the teenagers? A．Getting a better user experience. B．Coming up with fashion trends. C．Saving money and reducing waste. D．Buying products of better quality. 2．Which of the following is an example of “experience consumption”? A．Buying a new toy. B．Playing computer games. C．Taking an online course. D．Buying a pair of new shoes. 3．What do these new trends show about Chinese teenagers? A．They are becoming more responsible. B．They have more pocket money. C．They have little interest in value. D．They care more about themselves. Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·安徽安庆·期中）According to the findings of a new UN report, the world wastes about one-sixth of the food each year. That’s about 1,030,000,000 tons, or 121 kilograms for each person on the Earth. 61% of the food waste is from home cooking. Food services, such as restaurants, produce 26% and groceries (食品杂货店) and other stores 13%. “We thought waste was a problem in rich countries,” says Martina Otto, who works for the UN Environment Programme. “However, the new report finds food waste is a big problem in nations rich or poor.” Each year, some 690,000,000 people go hungry. At the same time, about 10% of all CO2 on the Earth is from the activities that produce the food waste. Control on food waste can help deal with hunger and cut that pollution. It is helpful to both people and the planet. By avoiding wasting food, we can save money and time. More importantly, we can help protect the Earth’s most valuable resources (资源). Then what can we do to stop food waste? Small actions make a difference. Each of us can play a part. Next time, before you throw, think twice! 1．Where is most food waste from? A．Restaurants. B．Groceries. C．Food stores. D．Home cooking. 2．According to the new UN report, food waste is a big problem in ________. A．only rich countries B．only poor countries C．both rich countries and poor countries D．neither rich countries nor poor countries 3．What is the purpose of the text? A．To collect money. B．To call for action. C．To get some advice. D．To express thanks. 主题01 人与社会——中华文化 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·安徽马鞍山·期中）The Chinese zodiac, called shengxiao, is a 12-year cycle with 12 animals. It’s a special way in China to talk about years and people’s personalities. Each animal stands for a year, and many believe your birth-year animal affects how you act. They are everywhere in Chinese festivals and stories! 2025 is the Year of the Snake. Snakes are long and move quietly without legs. They shed skin, which means “new beginnings” in Chinese culture. One legend says the Snake helped the Jade Emperor win a battle (战争) against a dragon. Because of its cleverness, the Snake got a place in the zodiac. Another famous story is about Bai Suzhen, a kind snake spirit who helps people. People born in the Year of the Snake are said to be intelligent, calm, and successful. They think carefully before acting and are good at solving problems. The snake is a symbol of wisdom in Chinese culture. The Chinese zodiac is still important today. Many people check their zodiac signs before making big decisions, like getting married or starting a business. It links the past and now through old stories and special meanings. 1．How does the writer show the Snake gets its place in the zodiac in Paragraph 2? A．By listing the numbers. B．By telling a story.

D．Stories about zodiac animals. Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·安徽合肥·期中）Paper cutting or tearing is a cultural tradition in China. For centuries, it has been passed down from one generation to the next, especially from mothers to daughters. This beautiful art created by skillful artists is used to decorate doors, ceilings, and beds in people’s homes, or at celebrations such as birthdays and weddings. At Chinese New Year, window flowers are glued to windows, creating beautiful patterns of light and shadow. The two main techniques (技艺) used are cutting the paper using a knife or scissors, or tearing it by hand. If the paper is cut, the edges (边缘) are very smooth. Paper cutting can produce very fine and delicate works. This type of work is typical of southern China. If the paper is torn by hand, the edges are more simple and natural. Tearing is used more in northeast China. In addition, different parts of China have their own themes or pictures. These themes can express many stories, ideas and emotions. It can be hard to hold on to traditions like these because young people don’t know much about traditional art. Often they prefer spending their time on newer pastimes. The experts are getting older. If young people don’t learn the traditions, they won’t be able to pass them down to their own children. But recently there is a change. There are more exhibitions of traditional art. Artists are going into schools to teach students how to make paper cuttings. Students enjoy working together with artists and talking to them about the meaning of their art. In this way, they are becoming proud of our culture and traditions. 1．What is the writer’s opinion on paper cutting or tearing? A．It is easy to hold on to this form of art. B．It will continue in China for future generations. C．It is so expensive that only the rich can afford to learn it. D．It has the same theme or picture in all parts of China. 2．Why was it difficult to keep the tradition of paper cutting or tearing before? A．There were too many exhibitions of other arts B．Artists were too busy to teach students C．Young people knew little about it and liked newer pastimes D．The materials for paper cutting were hard to find 3．What can we know from the passage?

These days are usually from mid-July to late August, including Toufu, Zhongfu and Mofu. Chinese “Fu” has the meaning of “hiding”. So the character is also a suggestion for people to stay at home to “hide” from the heat outdoors in summer. During Sanfu, people usually feel uncomfortable. So many Chinese people follow different traditional ways to deal with the heat and stay healthy. Now let’s have a look at some customs of spending these days. People in Changsha usually eat roosters (公鸡) during Toufu. Local people believe that eating roosters can clear the wet in the body. In the south of Shandong Province, people always drink mutton soup during Sanfu. It is said that mutton, which is hot in nature, can reduce (减少) the cold in the body. Another traditional custom is drinking Fu Tea. It is a special natural herbal (草药的) tea. Under the high temperatures, people often feel hot, irritated, and get sick easily.

There are sidewalks (人行道) for blind people. But the travel of the blind is still a big problem. Luckily, an Austrian company (公司) has developed a useful travel tool for the blind—smart navigation (导航) shoes. They can help blind people walk safely. The smart shoes have a camera and it can send information in the front. This system can sense objects 4 meters away. If the wearer is in a dangerous situation, they will warn him or her by shaking and making a warning sound. Then the blind can avoid the danger and go to the place they want safely. Now, this company is working on creating better shoes. They’ll use AI technology to find objects on the sidewalks and tell wearers what the objects are. For example, the shoes might tell you if there’s a car or a wall in front of you. “We believe that technology can make a difference to humans. If the shoes can be used for the blind or people who cannot see something clearly, their lives will change a lot,” the leader of this company said. 1．What can the navigation shoes do?

For a long time, the phrase “Made in China” was everywhere. It meant the world could get affordable, everyday products, but it rarely stood for top quality or advanced technology. However, that old idea is changing fast. Today, “Made in China” represents much more than simple manufacturing. China is now a powerful force in creating high-tech products that are popular all over the world. Think about the innovative（创新的）smartphones from brands like Huawei and Xiaomi, or the world-famous drones（无人机）from DJI that capture amazing videos from the sky. In transportation, Chinese companies like BYD are selling millions of electric cars globally, leading the green energy trend（趋势）. China’s high-speed trains, a symbol of modern engineering, are also being built in other countries. Even in space, China’s programs are reaching for the stars. This incredible shift from a follower to a leader shows a new focus on innovation and high quality. So, the next time you see a “Made in China” label, remember it might be on an amazing piece of technology that is shaping our future. 1．What did “Made in China” mean for a long time? A．Top quality. B．High technology. C．Expensive products. D．Affordable products. 2．Which product is mentioned as an example of modern engineering? A． B． C． D． 3．What is the main idea of the passage? A．China makes many things for the world. B．Chinese electric cars are leading a new trend. C．“Made in China” is changing to mean high-tech. D．You should always check the label on products. Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·安徽安庆·期中）Did you ever wish you could show your dreams to your friends or family? Now you might be able to, with a new device (设备) that uses AI to create videos from spoken words. The Dream Recorder, created by the Dutch design studio Modem, is a bedside device on which you can record your dreams and play them back as short videos. The idea is that as soon as you wake up, you push a record button on the Dream Recorder and speak into it—in any language—describing what you remember of your dream. AI technology will then interpret (解读) your spoken dream and create a short video based on it in a visual style (视觉风格) of your choice. You can then play back this video on the Dream Recorder’s screen. The creators of the Dream Recorder say these videos can be used to help you think about the meaning of your dreams and how they might affect your waking life. However, you can’t keep these dream videos forever, because the Dream Recorder only has enough memory for seven days of dreams. That should be long enough to see if there are any repeated themes in your dreams, while keeping your mind in the present. The Dream Recorder is also an open-source (源代码开放的) DIY device that you can build yourself. All the code and the details you need to build it are available to download for free online. All you need to do is buy or 3D print the parts you need to make it. Modem is an unusual design studio because it has set itself an end date in 2030. This is meant to inspire the designers to take chances, experiment and create work that is focused on the present moment. 1．According to the passage, what should you do first to use the Dream Recorder after waking up? A．Choose a visual style for the video. B．Speak your dream into the device. C．Push the record button. D．Play back the video on the screen. 2．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．The Dream Recorder can store dreams for a month. B．You have to pay to download the code to build the device. C．Modem studio plans to close next year. D．The device can understand and work with different languages. 3．Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A．The Future of AI Technology B．A New DIY Bedside Device C．Turn Your Spoken Dreams into Videos D．The Secret Life of Modem Studio 主题03 人与社会——科普知识 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·安徽蚌埠·期中）New research shows that kids do get new knowledge and learn new skills faster than grown-ups. It all comes down to something in the brain called GABA, which helps newly learned material stick in the brain. Researchers have found GABA levels increase rapidly in the brains of children of primary school age while they are learning new tasks or information. However, GABA levels in the brains of adults, aged 18 to 35, don’t change during or after lessons in new tasks and information. “Our results show that children of primary school age can learn more within a given period of time than adults,” said Takeo Watanabe, a professor (教授) at Brown University in the US. Dr Sebastian Frank, from the University of Regensburg in Germany, said their findings agreed with the common opinion that children outperformed adults in their learning abilities. “GABA plays a key role in making learning efficient (效率高的),” added Dr Frank. The researchers suggested teachers and parents should give children as many chances as possible to develop new skills, from learning the times table to riding a bike. Professor Watanabe said the findings could also be used to help adults learn more efficiently. “For example, a new technology or therapy (疗法) could be developed to increase the level of GABA in the brains of adults.” 1．How do kids’ GABA levels change when learning new things? A．Rise a lot. B．Stay the same. C．Drop a little. D．Change slowly. 2．What does the underlined word “outperformed” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Were the same as. B．Did better than. C．Depended on. D．Looked up to. 3．What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．Parents should do everything for their kids. B．Children should learn to ride a bike as early as possible. C．Adults can learn more rapidly because of their wide experience. D．Children should be given more chances to learn new skills. Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·安徽安庆·期中）The Grand Canal is another wonder made by ancient Chinese people besides the Great Wall. It is a man-made waterway that connects several Chinese cities. In fact, the Grand Canal is the longest man-made waterway in the world. It started to be built in 486 BC． In the early 7th century, Emperor Yang in the Sui Dynasty chose the city Luoyang as the capital city. To make the transportation easier and faster, he asked people to expand the canal. Then, in order to connect the north and the south in the Yuan Dynasty, the canal was built and expanded again. After several years, the canal was finished. And it is still in use at present. The Grand Canal experienced something terrible in modern history in China because of the wars. Luckily, with the help of the Chinese government, the conditions of the canal have improved a lot. Some parts of the canal have become wider and deeper. Shipping conditions have improved, too. Most importantly, in 2002, the Beijing—Hangzhou Grand Canal was included in one of the “South-to-North Water Transfer” three-line projects and became an important waterway. Thanks to the Grand Canal, the cities along the canal have developed greatly in the history of the Chinese nation. 1．What is mentioned about the Grand Canal in Paragraph 2? A．Its symbol. B．Its value.

Here is a conversation with Chin. Why did you start writing the book? It started as a question: “How small is the smallest thing we know of?” That was followed by more questions about small things, so I started doing research. Out of that research came this book. ________ The first thing I did was find out what I’d put in the book, because there are lots of small things out there. Then I studied each of them. Talking to scientists about them was also necessary. What is your favorite part of the research? One of the scientists I talked to is from the University of Vermont. She took me on a tour of her lab, and I got to see the microscopes (显微镜) and learn how they work. It was fantastic. Can you tell me what the title of the book means? The closer you look at the universe, the more things look the same. People are made of cells (细胞), just like every other living thing. There are different kinds of things that make up the universe, which means we all have connection with the universe. I find that really interesting. I do hope readers will understand it. Also, they should understand how unique (独一无二的) they are. 1．Chin’s ________ gave him the idea of writing the book. A．love for writing stories B．interest in small things C．hope to help more children D．task of finishing his research 2．Which of the following can be put in the ________?

Many people find that this kind of fun only makes them feel bored and empty. Many people think play is a waste of time, but it’s not. It’s important to play and relax in your free time. James Wallman, the writer of Time and How to Spend It, says leisure (休闲) won’t improve your life if you don’t use it well. He says some experiences are “junk” and some are like “superfoods”. “Superfood” activities help you live in the moment and get a higher LQ (玩商). LQ is an index (指数) for one’s ability to relax and play. According to China Daily, a high LQ means a person can control life well and keep a balanced lifestyle, which makes them healthier and happier. Research shows people with high LQ are happier and less likely to have mental problems. A famous scientist also says that those who are good at playing are more likely to succeed. Instead of doing passive (被动的) activities like watching short videos, people with high LQ scores choose active activities that suit their interests, giving them continuous positive reflections (持续的积极反馈). According to Wallman, examples of these positive reflections include: an unforgettable story you can share with others, a new skill, a different world view, improved relationships and so on. 1．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A．When the best time to play is. B．Why we should use our leisure time properly. C．What “Superfood” activities are. D．How we can live in the present situation meaningfully. 2．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? (SH=sense of happiness) A． B． C． D． 3．What will the writer probably discuss after the last paragraph? A．Encourage us to improve LQ. B．Share some people’s LQ scores. C．Write about some passive activities. D．Tell us the importance of “Superfoods”. 主题03 人与社会——青少年问题 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·安徽马鞍山·期中）If you go shopping in any toy store, you can see different kinds of games and toys for boys and girls: there are a lot of pink toys on one side of the store for girls; and dark colored cars, guns, and soldiers for boys. Sue Palmer, writer of Toxic Childhood, is very worried that most girls over the age of three are crazy about the color. According to some scientists, this happens for two reasons. Firstly, there are too many products in pink in the market. Also, many parents think their little daughter looks cute in pink. Sue Palmer says that girls at this age cannot make right decisions by themselves, but the pink can influence the choices and the decisions they will make in the future. Vanessa Holburn is a mother of two girls who are under the age of four. Their bedrooms are a sea of pink, and Vanessa is unhappy. “Pink says that you are soft. Blue says that you are strong. I want my daughters to be strong. I’m worried that pink will not help them with that.” she says. But not everyone thinks there’s something wrong with pink. Grayson Turner is a father of three girls and he isn’t worried at all. “People forget that things change all the time,” he says. “My girls used to love pink when they were little, but as they get older, they change.” Turner says that his twelve-year-old daughter never wears pink clothes any more. “This love of pink is just a fashion and all fashions change.” he adds. 1．Which of the following best shows the structure (结构) of the passage? A． B． C． D． 2．According to some scientists, parents choose pink clothes for their little daughter because ________.

Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·安徽安庆·期中）The Internet is a place where we can talk freely, but it is also a place where we pay little attention to whether or not our language ability is becoming poorer. According to a recent survey by China Youth Daily, more than 76 percent of young people in China said they felt their Chinese language skills have declined. They don’t use hard rhetorical technique (修辞手法) as often anymore. It is believed that digital technology and Internet emojis (表情) have changed their communication habits. For example, direct expression is a preferred way to communicate online. When one sees something funny, one will simply type “hahaha” or use the “cry-laugh” emoji. Beijing Youth Daily noted. What’s more, Cai Xiaoxia, a teacher from Fuzhou, told China Youth Daily that words in general are being used less. For example, people can share photos and emojis online with little need for words to describe them. Also, “copy and paste (粘贴)” culture is getting popular. People simply pick up expressions from the internet without much thought. Many begin to use a fixed set of sentence patterns, such as “…yyds”. If this continues, it could influence our way of thinking, People’s Daily noted. When we use expressions without thinking, it means we have become too lazy to express our real feelings. If teenagers are used to using emojis, they could lose the ability to use words properly. To improve our language skills, experts suggest that we should try to think independently and develop our own language. They also suggest that we should read more works of literature (文学). “Keep using different words to show your special feelings.” said Shen Xiaolong, a professor in the Chinese department at Fudan University. 1．Paragraph 3 and 4 mainly tell us ________. A．which phrases are the most popular on the internet B．what people’s new communication habits are C．why young people like using emojis D．where young people learn new expressions 2．The underlined word means ________. A．increased B．improved C．chosen D．dropped 3．If we divide the passage into four parts, the answer should be ①= Para.1 ②= Para.2 ③= Para.3 ④= Para.4 ⑤= Para.5 ⑥= Para.6 A．①②③; ④; ⑤; ⑥ B．①; ②③; ④; ⑤⑥ C．①; ②③④; ⑤; ⑥ D．①; ②; ③; ④⑤ Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·安徽马鞍山·期中）How much pocket money do you get? How do you spend it? The Blue Book of Chinese Teenagers’ Financial (金融的) Education (2024), a book released in March, shows that social activities now take up more of teenagers’ spending. The book was about teenagers’ spending habits. It was based on studies in nine cities in China, including Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The results show that students are spending more and more on their relationships with friends and classmates, such as having meals together and buying birthday gifts. Only one-third of high school students think about the price when choosing gifts. Most say they only care about what their friends like. Xia Hao, 17, a student at Gaoyou Normal School in Jiangsu, spent more than 1,000 yuan on his birthday meal this February. “They had given me gifts. If I hadn’t done anything in return, I’d have lost face,” Xia said. Xia’s experience is quite normal among his peers (同龄人). A meal can cost a student’s pocket money for a month. Many just ask more from parents when they use up their money. Zhang Wei, an expert on teenagers’ financial education, suggested that teenagers should learn to make a budget (预算). A budget is a plan of how money will be spent. It helps make decisions about money. To make good use of your money, you can also set a limit. Learn to balance your wants and needs. When choosing gifts for friends, let them know that you care. Sometimes a handmade gift is much better than an expensive one. 1．When buying a gift, most students care about ________. A．how much the gift is B．whether their friends like it C．whether they like it D．where the gift is from 2．The underlined word “normal” in the fifth paragraph probably means “________”. A．same B．ordinary C．exciting D．dangerous 3．This article mentions the following ways of using money except ________. A．making a budget B．setting a limit C．balancing your wants and needs D．not giving gifts to your friends Passage 4 （25-26九年级上·安徽马鞍山·期中）March 21st is World Sleep Day. Its aim is to celebrate the benefits (好处) of good and healthy sleep. Sleep is like food for the brain. Enough sleep helps the body and brain grow and develop. According to the National Sleep Foundation in the US, adults need seven to eight hours of sleep every night. For students aged 10 to 17, a healthy amount of time is about eight to nine hours per night. But many students don’t get enough sleep because of early school start times and heavy homework. About 80 percent of middle school students don’t get enough sleep, the China Youth and Children Research Center reported. For some students, they want to sleep early, but they keep worrying about their schoolwork and can’t fall asleep quickly. For others, they may even have insomnia which might keep them awake all night. These sleeping problems greatly influence people’s lives. The lack (缺乏) of sleep for teenagers leads to poor grades. Students without enough sleep cannot pay attention in class or do well in sports. Also, the lack of sleep may make them depressed (沮丧的). 1．A 15-year-old student needs to sleep about ________ hours every night. A．less than 7 B．7 C．7 to 8 D．8 to 9 2．Many teens don’t get enough sleep because of ________.

But did you know there’s another great one in Anhui? It’s called Anfengtang, also known as Quebei. It’s one of China’s oldest projects for watering fields. And it’s over 2,600 years old. Anfengtang was built during the Spring and Autumn Period. A smart leader named Sun Shuao led people to build it. He saw that the area around Shouxian County in Anhui often had problems with droughts and floods. So he decided to build a big water-storing lake to control the water. Thousands of people dug water paths and built dams. They made a project that stored water and sent it to fields when needed. A long time ago, Anfengtang was very important for farming. It watered thousands of hectares of fields, making the area a “land of plenty”. Even after all these years, people are still using it for watering fields. Modern workers have fixed it up, but its main structure is still as smart as when it was first built. Anfengtang isn’t just a water project—it’s a sign of old smart ideas. Today, when you visit Shouxian County, you can still see the old dams and water paths. This old treasure from Anhui really shows that great projects can last for a long time! 1．When was Anfengtang built? A．During the Spring and Autumn Period. B．During the Han Dynasty. C．During the Ming Dynasty. D．In the 20th century. 2．What does the underlined word “droughts” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Heavy rains that cause floods. B．Cold periods with much snow.

China has followed Western fashion designs in recent years, but a growing number of young people are now looking to the past for fashion ideas. If you look closely around your city, you might notice hanfu, the traditional clothing of the Han Dynasty. In a recently published report by an online shopping platform, about 2 million hanfu clothes were sold in 2020, nearly 4 times as many as those sold in 2019. Most of the buyers are between 19 and 24 years old. But why has this traditional clothing become popular with young Chinese people? For some of them, it’s a costume for relaxation. Dafan, a 24-year-old college student, told CGTN that dressing in hanfu is a way for her to get away from the troubles of real life. Modern clothing, on the other hand, represents the identity (身份) people need to show every day. “Hanfu and modern clothing help me to show the different sides in me,” she said. Other teenagers like hanfu because of the culture behind it. They see it as a way to reconnect (再连接) with traditions. Its wide sleeves, crossed collars (领口) and flowing robes (飘逸的长袍) bring people back to ancient times. “Hanfu is the symbol (象征) of the Chinese traditional culture.” Nanhe, a 21-year-old costume studio owner, told CGTN. 1．Hanfu appeared (出现) in China ________. A．in 2018 B．in Tang Dynasty C．in 2019 D．in Han Dynasty 2．According to the passage, about ________ Hanfu clothes were sold in 2019. A．600,000 B．500,000 C．2,000,000 D．8,000,000 3．The underlined phrase “wide sleeves” means ________. A．宽大的衣袖 B．鲜艳的色彩 C．漂亮的丝带 D．纤细的腰围 4．Who likes to buy Hanfu best? A．Students from 4 to 15 years old. B．Teenagers from 13 to 19 years old. C．Adults between 30 and 50 years old. D．People between 19 and 24 years old. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文介绍汉服如今在年轻人中愈发流行，结合销售数据分析汉服走红的两大原因：休闲解压、承载传统文化。 【详解】1．第二段“you might notice hanfu, the traditional clothing of the Han dynasty”直接说明汉服是汉朝的传统服饰，可知汉服出现于汉朝。 2．第二段“about 2 million hanfu clothes were sold in 2020, nearly 4 times as many as those sold in 2019.”可计算得出2019年销量50万。 3．“wide”含义为“宽大的”，“sleeves”含义为“衣袖”，因此短语wide sleeves意思是“宽大的衣袖”。 4．第二段“Most of the buyers are between 19 and 24 years old.”直接说明汉服主要购买人群是19至24岁的人。 主题02 人与社会——科学技术 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·安徽合肥·期中）Now technology is developing fast, and AI is quickly entering the education field. Take “Xiaozhi”—an AI learning helper made by DeepSeek Company—as an example. With its intelligent analysis (分析) ability, it has opened a new world of smart learning for many students. “Xiaozhi” is like a smart learning helper. It can clearly find out the knowledge problems that students have in their homework and exams. Based on the reasons for the wrong answers and the weak knowledge points, it can make a set of special exercise questions for each student, helping them strengthen (加强) their knowledge. It can answer math problems right away. It stays with students day and night to explore knowledge, just like an online teacher. The research shows that after using “Xiaozhi”, students’ average math scores rose by 15%—a really exciting result. But AI education’s fast growth also brings deep thoughts. AI can pass on knowledge quickly, but it can hardly replace human teachers. Teachers are not just knowledge spreaders, but also guides for students’ hearts. They play a key role in giving care and shaping values. Also, we need to solve problems like keeping data (数据) safe and making rules about what content (内容) is okay for AI learning tools. Then, how can we make good rules to supervise (监管) AI in education and help it develop smoothly? This has become something the whole society cares about a lot.

Beinao-1 sends small electrical signals (信号) to his legs. After using it, he is able to take some small steps with others’ help. A woman had trouble speaking. When she thinks of words in her mind, Beinao-1 turns her thoughts into text on a screen. Now she can “talk” to her family again. Beinao-1 is a breakthrough (突破) that Chinese scientists have made. With it, they have successfully helped several disabled people start to move and speak again, giving them a new chance at life. Beinao-1 uses a thin and soft electrode sheet. It can fit the brain comfortably. When it is put on the brain’s surface, it receives signals and sends them out. There’s also a small wireless device (无线设备) that can receive and translate the signals for a smart machine. With this “translator”, the machine can understand the thoughts from the brain and act. For example, if a disabled person thinks “I want to drink water”, a robotic arm can pick up a cup, fill it with water, lift it carefully to the person’s mouth, and finally put it back. In this way, Beinao-1 helps disabled people control things by thoughts. Beinao-1 is China’s completely self-developed technology. It has broken the world record in its field. It shows that China has become more powerful in high technology. We believe China will continue to lead the world in technology development. 1．How does Beinao-1 help the woman in paragraph 2? A．By talking to a robot. B．By writing letters to her family. C．By turning her thoughts into text. D．By sending signals to other people. 2．What does the underlined word “translator” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．A person who translates languages. B．A robotic arm that helps with actions. C．A screen that shows text from brain to people. D．A device that changes brain signals for machines. 3．What does the writer think of Beinao-1? A．Unclear. B．Hopeful. C．Uninterested. D．Negative. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国科学家自主研发的技术Beinao-1，通过接收并转化大脑信号，成功帮助行动不便、语言障碍的残疾人恢复部分行动能力和“交流” 能力，展现了中国在高科技领域的突破与实力。 【详解】1．细节理解题。根据“When she thinks of words in her mind, Beinao-1 turns her thoughts into text on a screen. Now she can ‘talk’ to her family again.”可知，Beinao-1帮助这位女性的方式是将她的想法转化为屏幕上的文字。故选C。 2．词句猜测题。根据“There’s also a small wireless device (无线设备) that can receive and translate the signals for a smart machine.”，随后用“With this ‘translator’”指代该设备，说明“translator”即前文提到的“无线设备”，其功能是“接收大脑信号并为智能机器转化信号”。故选D。 3．观点态度题。根据“Beinao-1 is China’s completely self-developed technology. It has broken the world record in its field. It shows that China has become more powerful in high technology. We believe China will continue to lead the world in technology development”可知，作者对Beinao-1的评价是积极的，认为其是技术突破，且对未来中国科技发展充满期待，态度为“充满希望的”，B项符合。故选B。 Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·安徽滁州·期中）When you are outside on a cold winter day, there is nothing more pleasant than having a nice hot meal.

You might be surprised—sleep is actually a great helper for your memory, as Matt Walker talked about in his TED talk. First, sleep gets your brain ready before you learn new things. Think of your brain like a dry sponge (海绵). When you’ve slept well, it’s easy for your brain to “soak up (吸收)” new information. But if you don’t have sufficient sleep, your brain becomes like a sponge that’s already full of water. It can’t soak up new things, and you won’t remember them well. Second, sleep saves your new memories after you learn. It’s like pressing (按) the “save” button (按钮) on a computer. During deep sleep, your brain moves memories from a small “storage (存储) place” (where it keeps new things for a short time) to a bigger one (where they stay for a long time). Also, while you sleep, your brain “replays” the things you learned even faster than when you were awake. This makes those memories stronger. Third, sleep connects your new memories. It doesn’t just make every memory point better; it connects different new things together. The next day, you’ll see the connections you didn’t notice before. That’s why we can sleep on a problem instead of staying up to solve it—sleep helps you find answers. So, if you want to remember better, go to bed early. It’s a simple but useful tool for memory! 1．How does the text start? A．By introducing Matt Walker. B．By asking a question. C．By telling a story. D．By listing memory ways 2．What does the underlined (划线的) word “sufficient” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Enough. B．Sick. C．Empty. D．Wild 3．What does the brain do while you sleep to make memories stronger? A．It rests. B．It forgets old memories. C．It “replays” the things you learned. D．It connects old memories with new information. 4．Why can we sleep on a problem instead of staying up to solve it? A．Because staying up makes you feel tired the next day. B．Because sleep helps you find answers. C．Because staying up is bad for our health. D．Because sleep can make us understand the problem better. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍睡眠对人的记忆有很大帮助，分别从三个方面讲解睡眠如何辅助记忆，并建议大家早睡。 【详解】1．根据文章第一段“Do you stay up late to study for tests, learn to play an instrument (乐器), or get better at a sport?”可知，文章开头是以提出问题的方式引入主题。 2．根据文章第二段“When you’ve slept well, it’s easy for your brain to “soak up (吸收)” new information. But if you don’t have sufficient sleep, your brain becomes like a sponge that’s already full of water.”可知，前半句说睡得好，大脑容易吸收信息；but表转折，此处表达如果没有足够睡眠，大脑就像吸满水的海绵。sufficient含义为“足够的”，与enough同义。 3．根据文章第三段“Also, while you sleep, your brain “replays” the things you learned even faster than when you were awake. This makes those memories stronger.”可知，睡觉时大脑会“重放”你所学的东西，以此让记忆更牢固。 4．根据文章第四段“That’s why we can sleep on a problem instead of staying up to solve it—sleep helps you find answers.”可知，遇到问题可以先睡觉而不是熬夜解决，是因为睡眠可以帮你找到答案。 Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·安徽合肥·期中）Do you stay up late to study for tests, learn to play an instrument, or get better at a sport?

Think of your brain like a dry sponge.”，把大脑比作干海绵，海绵可以吸收水分；睡得好，大脑就可以吸收新信息，soak up和take in含义一致，意为“吸收”。 3．第三段倒数第二句“Also, while you sleep, your brain ‘replays’ the things you learned even faster than when you were awake. This makes those memories stronger.”，原文说明睡眠时大脑会“回放”所学内容，从而让记忆更牢固。 4．第四段最后一句“That’s why we can sleep on a problem instead of staying up to solve it—sleep helps you find answers.”，破折号直接给出原因：睡眠帮助你找到答案。 Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·安徽合肥·期中）Does the Dead Sea (死海) sound like a place where you’d like to go swimming? What do you expect to see in it? Do you believe there are dead things in the Dead Sea? Lying in southwest Asia, the Dead Sea is about 80 kilometres long, about 18 kilometres wide and about 400 metres deep. It also has some other names, such as the Salt Sea, the East Sea, or the Sea of the Plain. Even though it’s called the Dead Sea, it isn’t a sea at all! It’s a lake. Different from other lakes you might have seen, the Dead Sea is a quite salty lake. In fact, the Dead Sea is one of the saltiest bodies of water in the world. The Dead Sea is so salty that nothing can live in it. That’s why it’s called the Dead Sea. And the Dead Sea stays quite salty because it gets only a little rain, and so little fresh water gets into the Dead Sea each year. Don’t let the name of the Dead Sea make you feel scared. The Dead Sea is a surprising place to visit, and many people go to the Dead Sea each year on holiday. One interesting thing is that anyone can float (漂浮) in the Dead Sea. So if you walk on the beach of the Dead Sea on a warm day, perhaps you can see many people floating in its waters. You might even see many of them reading books or magazines! 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By telling a story. B．By listing numbers. C．By giving examples. D．By asking questions 2．What does the underlined word “scared” mean? A．Tired. B．Lucky. C．Afraid. D．Excited. 3．What is the purpose of the passage? A．To ask for opinions on swimming in the Dead Sea.

How do people change sea water into fresh water? How does water come into our homes? This passage will answer these questions. In most places, people get their water from lakes and rivers. In some places, people get their water from under the ground. They use wells to get the water. In some country areas away from the city water supply, people collect rainwater that falls on their roofs (房顶). Pipes from the roofs lead the water into tanks (罐子). In some countries that are in need of water, fresh water is made from sea water in special treatment factories. This is called desalination (脱盐). In most treatment factories, salt water is heated until it turns into steam (蒸汽) and the salt is left behind. When the steam is cooled, it becomes fresh water. Only a little salt is left in the fresh water. This makes the water taste better and also stops the pure water taking salts and minerals (矿物质) out of our bodies. Have you seen tanks or towers on the tops of buildings? These tanks or towers are used for keeping clean water. Before the water is put into these tanks or towers, it goes to a water treatment factory. Water is very important for all living things, but sometimes there is not enough water. We should use water wisely. 1．How does the writer begin the passage? A．By comparing ideas. B．By giving examples. C．By asking questions. D．By explaining reasons. 2．Where do people in most places get water from? A．Lakes and rivers. B．Lakes and underground water. C．Rivers and rainwater. D．Rainwater and underground water. 3．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to (指代)? A．Rainwater. B．Salt water. C．Fresh water. D．Pure water. 4．What are tanks or towers used for according to the passage? A．Storing salt. B．Storing pipes. C．Storing minerals. D．Storing clean water. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了人们获取水源的不同方式，包括来自河流湖泊、地下水、收集雨水以及通过海水淡化工厂将海水变为淡水。文章还说明了建筑物顶部水箱或水塔的作用，最后呼吁人们节约用水。 【详解】1．文章开篇第一段连续提出了三个问题“Where does the water in our homes come from? How do people change sea water into fresh water? How does water come into our homes?”，说明作者是通过提问的方式开头的。 2．第二段第一句明确写道“In most places, people get their water from lakes and rivers.”，说明大多数地方的人们从湖泊和河流中获取水。 3．第三段划线单词所在的句子为“In most treatment factories, salt water is heated until it turns into steam (蒸汽) and the salt is left behind. ”，这里的“it”指代的是前边提到的salt water“盐水”。 4．第四段第一二句“Have you seen tanks or towers on the tops of buildings? These tanks or towers are used for keeping clean water.”，明确说明这些水箱或水塔用于储存干净的水。 主题04 人与自然——环境保护 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·安徽合肥·期中）Around the world, buildings are going green! A green building is designed (设计) in a way that is not harmful to the environment. When planning green buildings, architects (建筑师) must think about how to use energy, water and other materials in an environment-friendly way. There are many ways to save energy. Architects can design buildings to use natural light. Buildings can also be made with solar or wind power to get energy from the sun or the wind. To save water, green buildings can have areas on the roofs to collect rainwater. Kitchens and bathrooms can have sinks (洗池) and toilets (马桶) that store (储存) water. Buildings around the world use these ways to go green. An office building in Melbourne, Australia, uses wind and solar power. A temple in Thailand is made of one million glass bottles, and it also lets natural light into the temple. More and more green buildings are being built and they are making the world a better place! 1．What do we know about a green building? A．It is usually painted green outside.

Architects can design buildings to use natural light.”（建筑师设计建筑利用自然光以节约能源。）可知自然光设计的目的是节能。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“An office building in Melbourne...A temple in Thailand...”等具体例子（examples）说明绿色建筑的全球实践，属于举例论证。故选B。 4．最佳标题题。根据“More and more green buildings are being built and they are making the world a better place!”以及全文内容可知本文围绕“绿色建筑”展开，介绍其设计理念、节能节水措施及全球案例，主题词为“going green”（绿色行动）。选项B最全面概括。故选B。 Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·安徽阜阳·期中）In recent years, new consumption trends (消费趋势) have appeared among Chinese teenagers. These trends show their changing lifestyles and values (价值). One of the most obvious trends is “rational (理性的) consumption”. Unlike before, many teenagers now pay more attention to the practical value of products instead of just buying famous products. For example, when buying a pair of shoes, they will compare the quality (质量), comfort and price carefully. They are also more willing to buy cost-effective products. Besides, more and more teenagers are concerned about the environment. They prefer to buy environment-friendly products. Some teenagers even start “second-hand shopping”. They buy old books, clothes and electronic products. They think this not only saves money but also reduces waste. “Experience consumption” is also becoming popular. Teenagers are willing to spend money on experiences rather than material products. For example, they may spend money on traveling, attending concerts, taking online courses or doing outdoor activities. A 16-year-old boy from Beijing said, “I’d rather use my pocket money to go hiking with my friends than buy a new toy. The memories from the trip are more valuable to me.” These new consumption trends show that Chinese teenagers are becoming more responsible. They are not only thinking about their own needs but also caring about the environment and society. 1．What is the benefit (益处) of “second-hand shopping” according to the teenagers? A．Getting a better user experience. B．Coming up with fashion trends. C．Saving money and reducing waste. D．Buying products of better quality. 2．Which of the following is an example of “experience consumption”? A．Buying a new toy. B．Playing computer games. C．Taking an online course. D．Buying a pair of new shoes. 3．What do these new trends show about Chinese teenagers? A．They are becoming more responsible. B．They have more pocket money. C．They have little interest in value. D．They care more about themselves. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．A 【导语】本文介绍了中国青少年近年来出现的新消费趋势，包括理性消费、环保消费和体验消费，展现了他们生活方式和价值观的变化。 【详解】1．细节理解题。根据“Some teenagers even start ‘second-hand shopping’...They think this not only saves money but also reduces waste.”可知，青少年认为二手购物的益处是省钱和减少浪费。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“‘Experience consumption’ is also becoming popular... For example, they may spend money on traveling, attending concerts, taking online courses or doing outdoor activities.”可知，在线课程属于体验消费的例子。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“These new consumption trends show that Chinese teenagers are becoming more responsible.”可知，这些新趋势表明中国青少年正变得更有责任感。故选A。 Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·安徽安庆·期中）According to the findings of a new UN report, the world wastes about one-sixth of the food each year. That’s about 1,030,000,000 tons, or 121 kilograms for each person on the Earth. 61% of the food waste is from home cooking. Food services, such as restaurants, produce 26% and groceries (食品杂货店) and other stores 13%. “We thought waste was a problem in rich countries,” says Martina Otto, who works for the UN Environment Programme. “However, the new report finds food waste is a big problem in nations rich or poor.” Each year, some 690,000,000 people go hungry. At the same time, about 10% of all CO2 on the Earth is from the activities that produce the food waste. Control on food waste can help deal with hunger and cut that pollution.

For centuries, it has been passed down from one generation to the next, especially from mothers to daughters. This beautiful art created by skillful artists is used to decorate doors, ceilings, and beds in people’s homes, or at celebrations such as birthdays and weddings. At Chinese New Year, window flowers are glued to windows, creating beautiful patterns of light and shadow. The two main techniques (技艺) used are cutting the paper using a knife or scissors, or tearing it by hand. If the paper is cut, the edges (边缘) are very smooth. Paper cutting can produce very fine and delicate works. This type of work is typical of southern China. If the paper is torn by hand, the edges are more simple and natural. Tearing is used more in northeast China. In addition, different parts of China have their own themes or pictures. These themes can express many stories, ideas and emotions. It can be hard to hold on to traditions like these because young people don’t know much about traditional art. Often they prefer spending their time on newer pastimes. The experts are getting older. If young people don’t learn the traditions, they won’t be able to pass them down to their own children. But recently there is a change. There are more exhibitions of traditional art. Artists are going into schools to teach students how to make paper cuttings. Students enjoy working together with artists and talking to them about the meaning of their art. In this way, they are becoming proud of our culture and traditions. 1．What is the writer’s opinion on paper cutting or tearing? A．It is easy to hold on to this form of art. B．It will continue in China for future generations. C．It is so expensive that only the rich can afford to learn it. D．It has the same theme or picture in all parts of China. 2．Why was it difficult to keep the tradition of paper cutting or tearing before? A．There were too many exhibitions of other arts B．Artists were too busy to teach students C．Young people knew little about it and liked newer pastimes D．The materials for paper cutting were hard to find 3．What can we know from the passage? A．Young people know traditional art very well. B．The edges are very smooth when the paper is cut. C．Girls were not allowed to learn paper cutting in the past. D．There are fewer exhibitions of traditional art these days. 4．What could be the best title for the passage? A．Chinese Paper Art B．Great Changes in China C．Famous Chinese Artists D．Chinese Paper Folding 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国的剪纸或撕纸艺术，包括其历史传承、主要技艺、不同地区的风格特点，以及当前面临的传承困境和近期出现的积极变化。 1．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“But recently there is a change. There are more exhibitions of traditional art. Artists are going into schools to teach students how to make paper cuttings...

Often they prefer spending their time on newer pastimes.”可知，之前保持剪纸或撕纸传统困难的原因是年轻人对此了解不多且更喜欢新的娱乐方式。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“If the paper is cut, the edges (边缘) are very smooth.”可知，当纸被剪时，边缘很光滑。故选B。 4．主旨大意题。文章主要围绕中国的剪纸或撕纸艺术展开，介绍了其历史、技艺、不同地区风格以及传承情况等，A选项“Chinese Paper Art”能概括文章主旨。故选A。 Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·安徽滁州·期中）In China, Sanfu are the hottest and wettest days of the year. These days are usually from mid-July to late August, including Toufu, Zhongfu and Mofu. Chinese “Fu” has the meaning of “hiding”. So the character is also a suggestion for people to stay at home to “hide” from the heat outdoors in summer. During Sanfu, people usually feel uncomfortable. So many Chinese people follow different traditional ways to deal with the heat and stay healthy. Now let’s have a look at some customs of spending these days. People in Changsha usually eat roosters (公鸡) during Toufu. Local people believe that eating roosters can clear the wet in the body. In the south of Shandong Province, people always drink mutton soup during Sanfu. It is said that mutton, which is hot in nature, can reduce (减少) the cold in the body. Another traditional custom is drinking Fu Tea. It is a special natural herbal (草药的) tea. Under the high temperatures, people often feel hot, irritated, and get sick easily.

For a long time, the phrase “Made in China” was everywhere. It meant the world could get affordable, everyday products, but it rarely stood for top quality or advanced technology. However, that old idea is changing fast. Today, “Made in China” represents much more than simple manufacturing. China is now a powerful force in creating high-tech products that are popular all over the world. Think about the innovative（创新的）smartphones from brands like Huawei and Xiaomi, or the world-famous drones（无人机）from DJI that capture amazing videos from the sky.

Now you might be able to, with a new device (设备) that uses AI to create videos from spoken words. The Dream Recorder, created by the Dutch design studio Modem, is a bedside device on which you can record your dreams and play them back as short videos. The idea is that as soon as you wake up, you push a record button on the Dream Recorder and speak into it—in any language—describing what you remember of your dream. AI technology will then interpret (解读) your spoken dream and create a short video based on it in a visual style (视觉风格) of your choice. You can then play back this video on the Dream Recorder’s screen. The creators of the Dream Recorder say these videos can be used to help you think about the meaning of your dreams and how they might affect your waking life. However, you can’t keep these dream videos forever, because the Dream Recorder only has enough memory for seven days of dreams. That should be long enough to see if there are any repeated themes in your dreams, while keeping your mind in the present. The Dream Recorder is also an open-source (源代码开放的) DIY device that you can build yourself. All the code and the details you need to build it are available to download for free online. All you need to do is buy or 3D print the parts you need to make it. Modem is an unusual design studio because it has set itself an end date in 2030.

It all comes down to something in the brain called GABA, which helps newly learned material stick in the brain. Researchers have found GABA levels increase rapidly in the brains of children of primary school age while they are learning new tasks or information. However, GABA levels in the brains of adults, aged 18 to 35, don’t change during or after lessons in new tasks and information. “Our results show that children of primary school age can learn more within a given period of time than adults,” said Takeo Watanabe, a professor (教授) at Brown University in the US. Dr Sebastian Frank, from the University of Regensburg in Germany, said their findings agreed with the common opinion that children outperformed adults in their learning abilities. “GABA plays a key role in making learning efficient (效率高的),” added Dr Frank. The researchers suggested teachers and parents should give children as many chances as possible to develop new skills, from learning the times table to riding a bike. Professor Watanabe said the findings could also be used to help adults learn more efficiently. “For example, a new technology or therapy (疗法) could be developed to increase the level of GABA in the brains of adults.” 1．How do kids’ GABA levels change when learning new things? A．Rise a lot. B．Stay the same. C．Drop a little. D．Change slowly. 2．What does the underlined word “outperformed” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Were the same as. B．Did better than. C．Depended on. D．Looked up to. 3．What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．Parents should do everything for their kids. B．Children should learn to ride a bike as early as possible. C．Adults can learn more rapidly because of their wide experience. D．Children should be given more chances to learn new skills. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了关于儿童和成人学习能力差异的新研究。研究发现儿童大脑中的GABA水平在学习新事物时会快速上升，而成人不会。科学家指出GABA在学习效率中起关键作用，并建议应给孩子更多学习新技能的机会，同时也可能开发帮助成人学习的新技术。 【详解】1．第一段明确写道“GABA levels increase rapidly in the brains of children of primary school age while they are learning new tasks or information.”，说明儿童在学习新事物时GABA水平会迅速上升（rapidly increase），与“Rise a lot”意思一致。 2．根据前文研究结果“Our results show that children of primary school age can learn more within a given period of time than adults,”及以及文章开篇“kids do get new knowledge and learn new skills faster than grown-ups”可知，此处表达儿童学习能力优于成年人，划线词意为“比……做得更好”，符合B选项描述。故选B。 3．最后一段第一句“The researchers suggested teachers and parents should give children as many chances as possible to develop new skills”，明确说明研究人员建议给孩子尽可能多的机会发展新技能。 Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·安徽安庆·期中）The Grand Canal is another wonder made by ancient Chinese people besides the Great Wall. It is a man-made waterway that connects several Chinese cities. In fact, the Grand Canal is the longest man-made waterway in the world. It started to be built in 486 BC． In the early 7th century, Emperor Yang in the Sui Dynasty chose the city Luoyang as the capital city. To make the transportation easier and faster, he asked people to expand the canal. Then, in order to connect the north and the south in the Yuan Dynasty, the canal was built and expanded again. After several years, the canal was finished. And it is still in use at present. The Grand Canal experienced something terrible in modern history in China because of the wars. Luckily, with the help of the Chinese government, the conditions of the canal have improved a lot. Some parts of the canal have become wider and deeper. Shipping conditions have improved, too. Most importantly, in 2002, the Beijing—Hangzhou Grand Canal was included in one of the “South-to-North Water Transfer” three-line projects and became an important waterway. Thanks to the Grand Canal, the cities along the canal have developed greatly in the history of the Chinese nation. 1．What is mentioned about the Grand Canal in Paragraph 2? A．Its symbol. B．Its value.

A．Wonders of Human History B．Cities along the Grand Canal C．A Man-made Wonder in China D．Conditions of Canals in China 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国大运河这一古代奇迹。文章讲述了大运河的历史沿革（从公元前486年开始修建，历经隋朝、元朝的扩建），近代因战争遭受的破坏以及现代在中国政府帮助下的修复和改善（如南水北调工程），最后强调了大运河对中国沿线城市发展的巨大贡献。 【详解】1．第二段中出现了大量表示时间的词汇，如“486 BC”、“early 7th century”、“Sui Dynasty”、“Yuan Dynasty”等，并描述了大运河在不同朝代的修建和扩建过程。这些内容主要讲述的是大运河的历史沿革。 2．根据划线词所在句子的前一句“In fact, the Grand Canal is the longest man-made waterway in the world.”及全文内容可知，全文围绕大运河展开说明，划线词it在第二段开头，承接第一段的说明对象，因此it指代大运河。 3．文章第三段提到“the conditions of the canal have improved a lot”后，紧接着列举了“Some parts of the canal have become wider and deeper.”（部分河段变得更宽更深）和“Shipping conditions have improved, too.”（航运条件也改善了）的具体情况。作者是通过举例子的方式来证明条件改善了的。 4．文章第一段开篇点题，指出大运河是古代中国人创造的奇迹（wonder），随后介绍了其历史、现代改善情况及对城市发展的作用。全文围绕大运河这一“中国的人工奇迹”展开。A项太宽泛，B项和D项只涵盖了部分内容。 Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·安徽安庆·期中）Jason Chin’s new book, The Universe in You, is popular with children. Here is a conversation with Chin. Why did you start writing the book? It started as a question: “How small is the smallest thing we know of?” That was followed by more questions about small things, so I started doing research. Out of that research came this book. ________ The first thing I did was find out what I’d put in the book, because there are lots of small things out there. Then I studied each of them. Talking to scientists about them was also necessary. What is your favorite part of the research? One of the scientists I talked to is from the University of Vermont. She took me on a tour of her lab, and I got to see the microscopes (显微镜) and learn how they work. It was fantastic. Can you tell me what the title of the book means? The closer you look at the universe, the more things look the same. People are made of cells (细胞), just like every other living thing. There are different kinds of things that make up the universe, which means we all have connection with the universe. I find that really interesting. I do hope readers will understand it. Also, they should understand how unique (独一无二的) they are. 1．Chin’s ________ gave him the idea of writing the book. A．love for writing stories B．interest in small things C．hope to help more children D．task of finishing his research 2．Which of the following can be put in the ________?

That was followed by more questions about small things”可知，作者是因为对微小事物产生了一系列疑问（即感兴趣）才开始研究并写书的。 2．空白处下方的回答详细描述了研究的具体步骤：“The first thing I did was...Then I studied...Talking to scientists...”，这是在说明研究的过程和方法，对应选项A“你是如何做那项研究的？”。 3．根据问题“What is your favorite part of the research?”下的回答“She took me on a tour of her lab... It was fantastic.”可知，作者觉得参观科学家的实验室并看显微镜工作的过程很棒，这是他最喜欢的部分。 Passage 4 （25-26九年级上·安徽马鞍山·期中）When you finish your work and get to relax, what do you do? Do you lie on your bed and play with your phone? Many people find that this kind of fun only makes them feel bored and empty. Many people think play is a waste of time, but it’s not. It’s important to play and relax in your free time. James Wallman, the writer of Time and How to Spend It, says leisure (休闲) won’t improve your life if you don’t use it well. He says some experiences are “junk” and some are like “superfoods”. “Superfood” activities help you live in the moment and get a higher LQ (玩商). LQ is an index (指数) for one’s ability to relax and play. According to China Daily, a high LQ means a person can control life well and keep a balanced lifestyle, which makes them healthier and happier. Research shows people with high LQ are happier and less likely to have mental problems. A famous scientist also says that those who are good at playing are more likely to succeed. Instead of doing passive (被动的) activities like watching short videos, people with high LQ scores choose active activities that suit their interests, giving them continuous positive reflections (持续的积极反馈). According to Wallman, examples of these positive reflections include: an unforgettable story you can share with others, a new skill, a different world view, improved relationships and so on. 1．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A．When the best time to play is. B．Why we should use our leisure time properly. C．What “Superfood” activities are. D．How we can live in the present situation meaningfully. 2．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? (SH=sense of happiness) A． B． C． D． 3．What will the writer probably discuss after the last paragraph? A．Encourage us to improve LQ. B．Share some people’s LQ scores. C．Write about some passive activities. D．Tell us the importance of “Superfoods”. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．A 【导语】本文主要探讨了休闲活动的重要性，指出并非所有休闲活动都是有益的，提出了“玩商”（LQ）的概念，并阐述了高玩商对个人健康和幸福感的积极影响，同时给出了高玩商人群的活动选择特点。 【详解】1．主旨大意题。第二段主要引用詹姆斯·沃尔曼的观点，指出如果不好好利用休闲时间，它就不会改善你的生活，并对比了“垃圾”休闲和“超级食物”休闲的区别。因此本段主要讲“为什么我们应该好好利用休闲时间”。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“people with high LQ are happier and less likely to have mental problems”可知，高LQ的人幸福感更高。图示B显示LQ越高，幸福感（SH）越高，符合原文。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据“Research shows people with high LQ are happier and less likely to have mental problems. A famous scientist also says that those who are good at playing are more likely to succeed.”以及前文对高玩商带来诸多好处的阐述，可推测作者在最后一段之后很可能会鼓励我们提高玩商。故选A。 主题03 人与社会——青少年问题 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·安徽马鞍山·期中）If you go shopping in any toy store, you can see different kinds of games and toys for boys and girls: there are a lot of pink toys on one side of the store for girls; and dark colored cars, guns, and soldiers for boys. Sue Palmer, writer of Toxic Childhood, is very worried that most girls over the age of three are crazy about the color. According to some scientists, this happens for two reasons. Firstly, there are too many products in pink in the market. Also, many parents think their little daughter looks cute in pink. Sue Palmer says that girls at this age cannot make right decisions by themselves, but the pink can influence the choices and the decisions they will make in the future. Vanessa Holburn is a mother of two girls who are under the age of four. Their bedrooms are a sea of pink, and Vanessa is unhappy. “Pink says that you are soft. Blue says that you are strong. I want my daughters to be strong. I’m worried that pink will not help them with that.” she says. But not everyone thinks there’s something wrong with pink. Grayson Turner is a father of three girls and he isn’t worried at all. “People forget that things change all the time,” he says. “My girls used to love pink when they were little, but as they get older, they change.” Turner says that his twelve-year-old daughter never wears pink clothes any more. “This love of pink is just a fashion and all fashions change.” he adds. 1．Which of the following best shows the structure (结构) of the passage? A． B． C． D． 2．According to some scientists, parents choose pink clothes for their little daughter because ________. A．their daughter loves pink clothes B．there are too many pink clothes in the market C．they think their daughter looks cute in pink D．their daughter can not make right decisions by herself 3．What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Being soft. B．Being strong. C．Being polite. D．Being cute and beautiful. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 【导语】本文主要讨论了玩具店中玩具的性别区分现象。 【详解】1．篇章结构题。通读全文可见，第一段先引出话题（男孩女孩玩具颜色现象），第二、三段主要展示“粉色有害论”的不同担忧（科学研究者与家长范妮莎的观点），最后一段给出另一位家长的反对意见（认为孩子长大后自然会改变）。其行文脉络为：①总述现象 → ②③同一观点（担忧粉色） → ④相反观点（不担忧），与选项B所示结构最吻合。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“Firstly, there are too many products in pink in the market. Also, many parents think their little daughter looks cute in pink.”可知文中提到科学家指出的两大原因：①市面上粉色产品过多；②很多父母认为女儿穿粉色“很可爱”。所以父母给女儿选粉色衣服，更突出的原因是他们“觉得女儿穿粉色很可爱”，故选C。 3．词句猜测题。根据“I want my daughters to be strong. I’m worried that pink will not help them with that.”可知，我希望我的女儿们坚强。我担心粉色不会他们变“坚强”。因此“that”指代“变得坚强 (being strong)”，故选B。 Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·安徽安庆·期中）The Internet is a place where we can talk freely, but it is also a place where we pay little attention to whether or not our language ability is becoming poorer. According to a recent survey by China Youth Daily, more than 76 percent of young people in China said they felt their Chinese language skills have declined. They don’t use hard rhetorical technique (修辞手法) as often anymore. It is believed that digital technology and Internet emojis (表情) have changed their communication habits. For example, direct expression is a preferred way to communicate online. When one sees something funny, one will simply type “hahaha” or use the “cry-laugh” emoji. Beijing Youth Daily noted. What’s more, Cai Xiaoxia, a teacher from Fuzhou, told China Youth Daily that words in general are being used less. For example, people can share photos and emojis online with little need for words to describe them. Also, “copy and paste (粘贴)” culture is getting popular. People simply pick up expressions from the internet without much thought. Many begin to use a fixed set of sentence patterns, such as “…yyds”. If this continues, it could influence our way of thinking, People’s Daily noted. When we use expressions without thinking, it means we have become too lazy to express our real feelings. If teenagers are used to using emojis, they could lose the ability to use words properly. To improve our language skills, experts suggest that we should try to think independently and develop our own language. They also suggest that we should read more works of literature (文学). “Keep using different words to show your special feelings.” said Shen Xiaolong, a professor in the Chinese department at Fudan University. 1．Paragraph 3 and 4 mainly tell us ________. A．which phrases are the most popular on the internet B．what people’s new communication habits are C．why young people like using emojis D．where young people learn new expressions 2．The underlined word means ________. A．increased B．improved C．chosen D．dropped 3．If we divide the passage into four parts, the answer should be ①= Para.1 ②= Para.2 ③= Para.3 ④= Para.4 ⑤= Para.5 ⑥= Para.6 A．①②③; ④; ⑤; ⑥ B．①; ②③; ④; ⑤⑥ C．①; ②③④; ⑤; ⑥ D．①; ②; ③; ④⑤ 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 【导语】本文围绕网络对年轻人汉语能力的影响展开，分析了能力下降的现象、成因、潜在危害及提升建议。 【详解】1．主旨大意题。根据第三段“direct expression is a preferred way to communicate online”和“words in general are being used less”以及第四段“‘copy and paste’ culture is getting popular”和“use a fixed set of sentence patterns”可知，两段均围绕人们的新交流习惯展开。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据第二段“They don’t use hard rhetorical technique (修辞手法) as often anymore.”可知，年轻人不再常使用复杂修辞手法，可推测declined表示“下降”。故选D。 3．篇章结构题。根据第一段“The Internet is a place where we can talk freely, but it is also a place where we pay little attention to whether or not our language ability is becoming poorer.”可知，第一段引出话题；根据第二段“more than 76 percent of young people in China said they felt their Chinese language skills have declined”、第三段“direct expression is a preferred way to communicate online”和第四段“‘copy and paste’ culture is getting popular”可知，第二至四段分析现象与成因；根据第五段“If this continues, it could influence our way of thinking”可知，第五段说明危害；根据第六段“To improve our language skills, experts suggest that we should try to think independently”可知，第六段给出建议。故选C。 Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·安徽马鞍山·期中）How much pocket money do you get? How do you spend it? The Blue Book of Chinese Teenagers’ Financial (金融的) Education (2024), a book released in March, shows that social activities now take up more of teenagers’ spending. The book was about teenagers’ spending habits. It was based on studies in nine cities in China, including Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The results show that students are spending more and more on their relationships with friends and classmates, such as having meals together and buying birthday gifts. Only one-third of high school students think about the price when choosing gifts. Most say they only care about what their friends like. Xia Hao, 17, a student at Gaoyou Normal School in Jiangsu, spent more than 1,000 yuan on his birthday meal this February. “They had given me gifts. If I hadn’t done anything in return, I’d have lost face,” Xia said. Xia’s experience is quite normal among his peers (同龄人). A meal can cost a student’s pocket money for a month. Many just ask more from parents when they use up their money. Zhang Wei, an expert on teenagers’ financial education, suggested that teenagers should learn to make a budget (预算). A budget is a plan of how money will be spent. It helps make decisions about money. To make good use of your money, you can also set a limit. Learn to balance your wants and needs. When choosing gifts for friends, let them know that you care. Sometimes a handmade gift is much better than an expensive one. 1．When buying a gift, most students care about ________. A．how much the gift is B．whether their friends like it C．whether they like it D．where the gift is from 2．The underlined word “normal” in the fifth paragraph probably means “________”. A．same B．ordinary C．exciting D．dangerous 3．This article mentions the following ways of using money except ________. A．making a budget B．setting a limit C．balancing your wants and needs D．not giving gifts to your friends 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章基于《中国青少年金融教育蓝皮书 (2024)》的研究结果，探讨了青少年零花钱花费习惯，指出社交活动支出占比增加，并针对如何合理使用金钱给出了建议。 【详解】1．第三段“Most say they only care about what their friends like.”提到，大多数学生买礼物时只关心朋友是否喜欢。 2．第五段“Xia’s experience is quite normal among his peers (同龄人). A meal can cost a student’s pocket money for a month.”可推知，这种现象在同龄人中很普遍，normal意为“普通的”，与ordinary最接近。 3．第六段“suggested that teenagers should learn to make a budget”及最后一段“set a limit. Learn to balance your wants and needs.”提到了做预算、设定限额和平衡需求，未提及不给朋友送礼物。 Passage 4 （25-26九年级上·安徽马鞍山·期中）March 21st is World Sleep Day. Its aim is to celebrate the benefits (好处) of good and healthy sleep. Sleep is like food for the brain. Enough sleep helps the body and brain grow and develop. According to the National Sleep Foundation in the US, adults need seven to eight hours of sleep every night. For students aged 10 to 17, a healthy amount of time is about eight to nine hours per night. But many students don’t get enough sleep because of early school start times and heavy homework. About 80 percent of middle school students don’t get enough sleep, the China Youth and Children Research Center reported. For some students, they want to sleep early, but they keep worrying about their schoolwork and can’t fall asleep quickly. For others, they may even have insomnia which might keep them awake all night. These sleeping problems greatly influence people’s lives. The lack (缺乏) of sleep for teenagers leads to poor grades. Students without enough sleep cannot pay attention in class or do well in sports. Also, the lack of sleep may make them depressed (沮丧的). 1．A 15-year-old student needs to sleep about ________ hours every night. A．less than 7 B．7 C．7 to 8 D．8 to 9 2．Many teens don’t get enough sleep because of ________. A．they might do well in sports B．they might feel unhappy C．early school start times and heavy homework D．their bodies and brains might grow better 3．The underlined word “insomnia” means ________ in Chinese. A．健忘症 B．肥胖症 C．多动症 D．失眠症 4．If teenagers lack sleep, they might ________. A．get poor grades B．pay attention in class C．feel happy all day D．do well in sports 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了世界睡眠日的宗旨、睡眠对青少年的重要性、学生睡眠不足的原因以及睡眠缺乏带来的负面影响。 【详解】1．根据文章第二段“For students aged 10 to 17, a healthy amount of time is about eight to nine hours per night.”可知，10到17岁学生每晚健康睡眠时间为8至9小时，15岁学生属于该年龄段，需要8到9小时睡眠。 2．根据文章第三段“But many students don’t get enough sleep because of early school start times and heavy homework.”可知，许多学生睡眠不足的原因是上学时间早和作业繁重。 3．根据文章第三段“they may even have insomnia which might keep them awake all night.”可知，定语从句描述该症状会让人整晚保持清醒，由此推测“insomnia”意为“失眠症”。 4．根据文章最后一段“The lack of sleep for teenagers leads to poor grades.”可知，青少年缺乏睡眠会导致成绩不佳。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题06 阅读理解（说明文） 主题01 人与社会——中华文化 Passage 1 1．C 2．C 3．A 4．B Passage 2 1．C 2．B 3．B Passage 3 1．A 2．C 3．B 4．D Passage 4 1．D 2．B 3．A 4．D 主题02 人与社会——科学技术 Passage 1 1．C 2．B 3．C 4．A Passage 2 1．C 2．D 3．B Passage 3 1．B 2．D 3．B 4．C 主题03 人与社会——科普知识 Passage 1 1．B 2．A 3．C 4．B Passage 2 1．B 2．A 3．C 4．B Passage 3 1．D 2．C 3．D Passage 4 1．C 2．A 3．B 4．D 主题04 人与自然——环境保护 Passage 1 1．C 2．A 3．B 4．B Passage 2 1．C 2．C 3．A Passage 3 1．D 2．C 3．B 主题01 人与社会——中华文化 Passage 1 1．B 2．B 3．D 4．C Passage 2 1．B 2．C 3．B 4．A Passage 3 1．C 2．D 3．A 主题02 人与社会——科学技术 Passage 1 1．A 2．B 3．D 4．C Passage 2 1．D 2．D 3．C Passage 3 1．C 2．D 3．C 主题03 人与社会——科普知识 Passage 1 1．A 2．B 3．D Passage 2 1．D 2．A 3．B 4．C Passage 3 1．B 2．A 3．C Passage 4 1．B 2．B 3．A 主题03 人与社会——青少年问题 Passage 1 1．B 2．C 3．B Passage 2 1．B 2．D 3．C Passage 3 1．B 2．B 3．D Passage 4 1．D 2．C 3．D 4．A / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
