Students used to ask their parents for help. Nowadays, AI is becoming a useful tool for students’ study, especially for their homework. Do you think AI is a better teacher than parents? AI can teach math without judging me, but I think it can’t give something important—personal support and encouragement. Parents might get angry when you make mistakes, but they feel proud when you improve. They push you to try harder because they believe in you. Learning is not just about getting the right answers. It is also about becoming braver when someone supports you through failures. —Ivy When I make mistakes, AI won’t shout at me or put pressure on me as my parents do. Sometimes, AI is even smarter than my parents and can solve problems they can’t. For example, when I had a physics question, AI broke it down into simple steps and gave real-life examples. This helped me understand better and learn more easily. —Oliver Some students feel nervous about asking parents for help and are afraid of being shouted at. Thus, AI is better than parents. Firstly, AI always provides stress-free help and stays calm. Besides, AI is also a smart tool that can quickly collect a lot of information and offer more ways to solve study problems. Lastly, AI is always available and never gets tired. It can help students anytime. —Daisy In the end, while AI is calm and helpful in studying, it can never take the place of parents, who play an important role in every part of children’s life. 1．In Ivy’s opinion, can AI give personal support and encouragement? 2．How did AI help Oliver when he had a physics problem? 3．What do Oliver and Daisy think of AI when they need help? 4．When you have problems with homework, who will you ask for help, AI or your parents? Why? (about 30 words) 【答案】1．No, it can’t. 2．It divided the problem into simple steps and gave real-life examples. 3． They think AI is smarter, stress-free and very helpful. 4．I will ask my parents for help. Because they can give me encouragement and support when I meet difficulties in my study. 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，围绕“人工智能是否比父母更适合辅导作业”展开讨论，分别展示了Ivy、Oliver、Daisy三位学生的不同观点，最后总结人工智能无法取代父母在孩子成长中的重要地位。 【详解】 1．原文第二段Ivy的观点“but I think it can’t give something important—personal support and encouragement.”，直接可知人工智能无法给予个人支持和鼓励。答案：No, it can’t. 2．原文第三段Oliver的描述“AI broke it down into simple steps and gave real-life examples.”，提取人工智能解答物理问题的方式作答。 3．原文第三、四段内容，Oliver认为人工智能更聪明、讲解问题更易懂，Daisy认为人工智能无压力、博学且随时可用，整合二人观点作答。 4．本题为开放性试题，结合文章观点，任选其一作答，保证语句通顺、词数达标即可。 Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·河北保定·期中） 阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 Some people say that today reading is not as important as it was. That’s because these days we have photographs, films, radio, and television. Photography is certainly a wonderful invention. Photographs can give a very clear idea of places and of people that we have never seen. An encyclopedia (百科全书), for example, is always better when it has good pictures. But we also need words to explain the photographs. In the same way, a good film has action, movement, colour, and maybe music. These are things we do not find on the printed page. But reading a novel has certain advantages over watching even an excellent feature film (故事片). Reading a novel requires imagination. Each of us imagines a story differently. Watching news on television can certainly be exciting. But we need newspapers as well. Some important news stories happen when there are no cameras around. More importantly, a newspaper does not just report the news. It explains why something has been happening. It also contains interesting articles on different subjects. Reading is a skill and like other skills, it needs practice. The more we read, the better readers we become. And the better readers we become, the more we enjoy reading! The secret is to get into the reading habit. Read at least a little every day. 1．Why do some people say reading is not as important as it was? 2．What can photographs give people? 3．What are the advantages of a novel over a feature film? 4．What does the writer think of watching news on television? 5．What will you do to practice reading? 【答案】1．Because these days we have photographs, films, radio, and television. 2．They can give people a very clear idea of places and of people that they have never seen. 3．Reading a novel requires imagination and each of us imagines a story differently. 4．It can certainly be exciting. 5．I will read at least a little every day. 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，讨论了在影像媒介发达的当下，阅读依旧拥有不可替代的重要价值。 【详解】 1．定位原文第一段“Some people say that today reading is not as important as it was. That’s because these days we have photographs, films, radio, and television.”，原文直接交代部分人认为阅读不再那么重要的缘由。 2．定位原文第二段“Photographs can give a very clear idea of places and of people that we have never seen.”，原文写明照片能够带给人们的信息。 3．定位原文第三段“But reading a novel has certain advantages over watching even an excellent feature film. Reading a novel requires imagination. Each of us imagines a story differently.”，原文对比得出小说相比故事片的优势。 4．定位原文第四段“Watching news on television can certainly be exciting.”，原文给出作者对于电视看新闻的看法。 5．定位原文第五段“The secret is to get into the reading habit. Read at least a little every day.”，原文给出练习阅读的做法，本题为开放题，答案合理即可。 Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·山西晋中·期中） 请阅读下面语篇，根据其内容回答问题，并将答案写在答题卡相应的位置上。 Traditional culture is like a valuable gift from our ancestors (祖先)—think of hanfu, mooncakes, or old folk songs. It tells us who we are and where we come from, but now we have a question: how should we pass it on? Some of us think we can add new ideas to make it fit our lives better. Others believe we need to keep it exactly as it was, so we don’t lose its true meaning. Let’s listen to both sides and see what makes sense. We think adding new ideas to traditional culture is the best way to let it “live” with us! Traditional culture isn’t something that’s stuck in the past. For example, think about hanfu (traditional Chinese clothes). Before, people only wore it for big traditional events. But now, designers add small modern things, like making hanfu jackets easier to zip, or using bright, fun colors that young people love. Now, many of us wear hanfu to school or parks, and more people want to learn about its history. If we never add new ideas, traditional things might feel “boring” to us. Take old folk songs as an example: they have nice tunes (音调), but the words talk about things from long ago. If singers write new lyrics about our school life or hobbies (and keep the old tunes), we’ll actually want to listen and sing along! Adding new ideas doesn’t mean we forget the old parts—it just lets traditional culture fit our lives better, so we’ll pass it on happily. We don’t agree. The most important thing about traditional culture is its “true heart”, so we should keep it as it was! Traditional culture carries our ancestors’ stories and feelings. Let’s take the Mid-Autumn Festival as an example. We eat mooncakes and look at the moon because it’s a time to miss family. If we change mooncakes into ice cream cakes (and forget why we eat them), or just play phone games instead of talking about the moon’s stories, the festival loses its meaning. It won’t feel like “Mid-Autumn Festival” anymore; it’ll just be a day to eat snacks. Some traditional skills can’t be changed, either. For example, making Chinese knotting needs specific steps-each knot has a meaning (like “good luck” or “harmony”). If we tie the knots sometimes to make them fascinating, they won’t have that special meaning. Keeping the tradition isn’t being old-fashioned; it’s respecting the love and wisdom our ancestors put into these things. Only by keeping their true form, can we really understand and pass on our culture. Side A (Add New Ideas)                                Side B (Keep It as It Is) Whether we add new ideas or keep it as it is, the goal is to let traditional culture stay with us. After all, loving and cherishing it is the best way to pass it on. 1．Why should traditional culture be passed on? 2．How many examples are given by Side A? What are they? 3．How should we celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival according to Side B? 4．What does the underlined “true heart” mean? 5．Which way of passing on the traditional culture would you like to choose? Why? 【答案】1．Because it is a valuable gift from ancestors and tells us who we are and where we come from. 2．Two. They are hanfu and old folk songs. 3．We should eat mooncakes and look at the moon. 4．It refers to the love and wisdom ancestors put into these things. 5．I choose Side A. Because adding new ideas makes traditions fit modern lives better. 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讲述了关于如何传承传统文化的两种不同观点。一方认为应添加新元素使其更符合现代生活，另一方认为应保持原貌以保留真实意义，文章通过具体例子阐述了双方理由。 【详解】 1．根据文章第1段“Traditional culture is like a valuable gift from our ancestors”以及“It tells us who we are and where we come from”可知，传统文化值得传承是因为它是祖先的礼物且能告知身份与根源。 2．根据Side A部分“For example, think about hanfu (traditional Chinese clothes)”以及“Take old folk songs as an example ”可知，Side A共列举了两个例子，分别是汉服和古老民谣。 3．根据Side B部分“We eat mooncakes and look at the moon because it’s a time to miss family.”可知，按照Side B的观点，庆祝中秋节应吃月饼和赏月。 4．根据Side B部分“Keeping the tradition isn’t being old-fashioned; it’s respecting the love and wisdom our ancestors put into these things.”可知，划线部分指代祖先倾注的爱与智慧。可用“It refers to the love and wisdom ancestors put into these things.”作答 5．本题为开放性试题，答案不唯一，结合文章内容，言之有理即可。 主题02 人与社会——社会现象 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·北京海淀·期中） “Lying down” (also known as tang ping), has become a hot word among young Chinese people these days. The idea of low material needs and being willing to accept whatever life gives them is described as a “lying down” lifestyle. Some young people complain that to raise a child needs too much money and they often get into a fight with their family. At the same time, the rising living costs including food and housing have pushed them so hard that they could hardly breathe. Some want to lie down because their tiring jobs, competition with peers, as well as personal relationships force them to run away. On the other hand, with the great improvement of living conditions, it is true that some Chinese youth today have lost the spirit of fighting hard for a better life. “I stay at home, sleep and watch TV series, and I’m pleased with what I have now. Actually, there are many people around me who value happiness and freedom most,” said Daisy, who left her job two weeks ago. No wonder that some young people would choose to live a simple way instead of always following the good quality of fighting hard. Interestingly, most young people, who are “big fans” of the “lying down” lifestyle, point out that they only accept a temporary (暂时的) lying down as a short rest. In fact, lying down is not totally comfortable for them. Most young people who lie down always regard it as a lack of ambition (抱负) and feel ashamed about it. “Young people have both ambition and confusion about their future, but most of us have refused to waste chances and challenges,” a college student said. 1．What is a “lying down” lifestyle? 2．What are the factors which cause young people to lie down? 3．What do most young people regard the “lying down” lifestyle as? 4．Will you choose “lying down” lifestyle? Why or why not? (At least 2 reasons) 【答案】1．It is a lifestyle of low material needs and willingness to accept whatever life gives. 2．High costs of raising a child and living, tiring jobs, peer competition, relationship problems, and loss of the spirit of striving. 3．They regard it as a temporary short rest and a lack of ambition, feeling ashamed about it. 4．No, I won’t. First, striving helps me realize my value and avoid missing growth opportunities. Second, being proactive brings more sense of achievement. (开放性试题，答案合理即可) 【导语】本文探讨了当下中国年轻人中流行的“躺平”生活方式，分析了它的定义、成因，以及年轻人对它的真实态度——大多数人仅将其视为暂时的休息，内心仍认为这是缺乏抱负的表现，并不会真正放弃奋斗。 1．根据“The idea of low material needs and being willing to accept whatever life gives them is described as a ‘lying down’ lifestyle.”可知，“躺平”是一种低物质需求、接受生活所予的生活方式。 故填It is a lifestyle of low material needs and willingness to accept whatever life gives. 2．根据“Some young people complain that to raise a child needs too much money… rising living costs… tiring jobs, competition with peers, as well as personal relationships force them to run away… some youth today have lost the spirit of fighting hard”可知，原因包括养娃成本高、生活成本上涨、劳累的工作、同辈竞争、人际关系问题，以及部分年轻人失去奋斗精神。 故填High costs of raising a child and living, tiring jobs, peer competition, relationship problems, and loss of the spirit of striving. 3．根据“most young people… only accept a temporary lying down as a short rest… regard it as a lack of ambition and feel ashamed”可知，多数年轻人认为“躺平”只是暂时的休息，也认为这是缺乏抱负的表现。 故填They regard it as a temporary short rest and a lack of ambition, feeling ashamed about it. 4．开放性试题，答案合理即可。参考答案为No, I won’t. First, striving helps me realize my value and avoid missing growth opportunities. Second, being proactive brings more sense of achievement. Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·新疆·期中） 根据语篇内容在缩写文章中，填入与原文意思相符的词，每空一词 Most Chinese parents have great expectations (期望) of their children. When children were born, their parents had planned everything for them. It is common for parents to want their children to be successful. However, many children in China are unhappy. They live a planned life and are forced to fulfill the dreams. According to some studies, whether a child will be successful or not mainly depends on his or her parents’ expectations. However, unrealistic (不切实际的) expectations can be harmful to children. Every child has his or her own thoughts and feelings Parents’ expectations can take children’s freedom (自由) away. Wise parents allow their children to have some freedom. They encourage their children to do things they like to do and never judge them by their grades. My parents’ expectations for me are to be happy, kind and healthy. They never put too much pressure on me, and I live a happy life. However, I have my own dreams. I keep working hard, though my parents do not want me to do so. I will never lose heart because my parents always encourage me when I am in trouble. In a word, I think parents’ expectations are needed. However, parents should not give their children too much pressure. Instead, they should give them enough freedom. Parents must make sure their expectations for their children are realistic so that their children will not lose their self-confidence (自信). Many children in China are unhappy. Most Chinese parents had 1 everything for them when they were born. Studies show whether a child will be successful or not 2 depends on his or her parents’ expectations. Every child has his or her own thoughts and feelings. 3 parents allow their children to be free. They encourage their children to do what they want. My parents 4 me to be happy, kind and healthy. I don’t have too much pressure 5 I have my own dreams. I never stop working hard. I will never lose heart because my parents always encourage me when I am in trouble. In a word, I think parents should give their children enough 6 instead of too much pressure. 第二节 根据语篇内容，回答3个问题 Are many children in China happy ? 7 What does a successful child mainly depend on according to some studies ? 8 Why will the writer never lose heart ? 9 【答案】1．planned 2．mainly 3．Wise 4．expect 5．but 6．freedom 7．No/No, they aren’t. 8．His or her parents’ expectations 9．Because his or her parents always encourage him/her when he/she is in trouble. 【导语】本文主要讨论了中国父母对孩子的期望，分析了不切实际期望的危害，并强调父母应给予孩子自由与合理期望。 【详解】 1．根据“When children were born, their parents had planned everything for them”可知，父母在孩子出生时就为他们规划了一切。故填planned。 2．根据“whether a child will be successful or not mainly depends on his or her parents’ expectations”可知，孩子的成功主要取决于父母的期望。故填mainly。 3．根据“Wise parents allow their children to have some freedom”可知，明智的父母会给孩子自由。故填Wise。 4．根据“My parents’ expectations for me are to be happy, kind and healthy”可知，父母期望“我”快乐、善良且健康。故填expect。 5．根据“I have my own dreams. I keep working hard, though my parents do not want me to do so”可知，此处表转折，用“but”。故填but。 6．根据“they should give them enough freedom”可知，父母应给孩子足够的自由。故填freedom。 7．根据“However, many children in China are unhappy”可知，中国很多孩子并不快乐。故填No./No, they aren’t. 8．根据“whether a child will be successful or not mainly depends on his or her parents’ expectations”可知，孩子的成功主要取决于父母的期望。故填His or her parents’ expectations. 9．根据“I will never lose heart because my parents always encourage me when I am in trouble”可知，作者不会灰心是因为父母在他遇到困难时会鼓励他。故填Because his or her parents always encourage him/her when he/she is in trouble. Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·浙江杭州·期中） 从文后所给的A-E五个选项中选出正确选项（其中一项是多余选项），并回答问题。 People have used leather (皮革) for a very long time. Long ago, early humans made clothes from leather. Today, we still use leather to make shoes, bags, belts, and even car seats. Leather comes from animal skin, usually cows. But now, some people think we don’t need real leather anymore. Some of these are made from plastic, which can hurt the Earth. Others are made from plants, like mushrooms, pineapples, and cacti. Some scientists can even grow leather in a lab using tiny cells from animals. Shall we stop using leather? The following are the different viewpoints of two students. Kathy: Many people think it’s unacceptable to wear a fur coat, so why is it OK to wear a leather one? It’s still made from an animal. Most of the leather we use is from cows, and cows give off gases that make the Earth hotter. Making leather also makes the air and water dirty. We don’t need to use leather anymore. We can use these instead. John: Leather is still a good choice. Many people around the world eat meat, so it makes sense to use those animal skins for leather instead of letting them go to waste. Fake leather (人造皮革) is often made from plastic, which does not break down and can make pollution worse. It also doesn’t last as long, so we may need to buy new things more often. A．We should stop using leather. B．Raising cows can be bad for the environment. C．Leather is strong, lasts a long time, and breaks down naturally when we throw it away. D．They want to use other materials that look and feel like leather but are not from animals. E．There are plant-based leathers that look nice, cost less, and don’t hurt animals. 1． 2． 3． 4． 5．Who do you agree with, Kathy or John? Why?  (Answer within 15 words) 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．E 4．C 5．I agree with Kathy because plant-based leather doesn’t hurt animals./I agree with John because leather is strong and lasts long. 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，讨论了是否应该停止使用真皮，并对比了两种不同观点。 【详解】 1．根据上文“But now, some people think we don’t need real leather anymore.”和下文“Some of these are made from plastic...Others are made from plants...”可知，人们想用其他仿皮革材料替代真皮，选项D“他们想使用其他看起来和摸起来像皮革但不是动物的材料。”符合语境。故选D。 2．根据下文“Most of the leather we use is from cows, and cows give off gases that make the Earth hotter. Making leather also makes the air and water dirty.”可知，Kathy列举了真皮的弊端，她应该不支持使用真皮，选项A“我们应该停止使用皮革。”符合语境。故选A。 3．根据上文“We don’t need to use leather anymore.”和下文“We can use these instead.”可知，Kathy认为不应该使用真皮，此处推荐更环保的替代品，选项E“有些植物皮革看起来很漂亮，价格便宜，而且不会伤害动物。”符合语境。故选E。 4．根据上文“Leather is still a good choice.”和“...so it makes sense to use those animal skins for leather instead of letting them go to waste.”可知，John认为可以使用真皮，接着他列举使用真皮的好处，选项C“皮革坚固耐用，能使用很长时间，而且当我们扔掉它时，它能自然分解。”符合语境。故选C。 5．本题为开放性作答，结合原文Kathy和John的观点言之有理即可。参考答案为I agree with Kathy because plant-based leather doesn’t hurt animals./I agree with John because leather is strong and lasts long. 主题01 人与社会——学习策略 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·福建厦门·期中） 阅读下面短文，回答下列问题。 Have you ever heard of “NPCs” in games? NPC means Non-Player Character background characters with the same simple actions, like a shopkeeper who always says, “Hello! What do you need?” Now, some students joke that they feel like real-life NPCs. Every day, they do almost the same things. They feel they live such a common or even boring life when comparing themselves to colorful lives online. But life isn’t a game. We can choose to act and grow. For example, in China, a 15-year-old boy named Li Hua used to think he was “just an NPC”. But after joining a school robot club, he learned computer skills and AI technology, and his team won a national competition. He feels proud of himself now and believes he can have a bright future. While NPCs wait for others to control them, we can write their own stories. Grass doesn’t need to be a bright flower; it can be green. So, don’t call yourself an NPC． You can find your meaning in small things. Start with small acts, such as joining a sports team, smiling at a stranger, or volunteering in your community each day. Even planting a flower today can make a garden tomorrow. Remember, life’s best part isn’t the final prize- it’s becoming stronger bit by bit. 1．What does NPC mean? 2．When do some students think they live a common or boring life? 3．Where did Li Hua learn AI technology? 4．How does Li Hua feel after he won a national competition? 5．How can we find our meaning in small things? 【答案】1．NPC means Non-Player Character background characters with the same simple actions. 2．When comparing themselves to colorful lives online. 3．In a school robot club. 4．He feels proud of himself. 5．We can start with small things, such as joining a sports team, smiling at a stranger, or volunteering in our community.（开放性问题，言之有理即可，答案不唯一） 【导语】本文由游戏中的NPC概念引入，告诉我们生活并非游戏，每个人不必像NPC一样重复度日，可以主动成长、书写自己的人生，从小事中寻找生活的意义。 【详解】 1．首段直接给出“NPC means Non-Player Character background characters with the same simple actions”，答案为原文定义直接提取。 2．第二段末尾原文“They feel they live such a common or even boring life when comparing themselves to colorful lives online”，提取时间状语作为答案。 3．第三段讲述Li Hua的事例，原文“But after joining a school robot club, he learned computer skills and AI technology”，提取地点信息作答。 4．第三段结尾“He feels proud of himself now and believes he can have a bright future”，直接摘抄人物感受作答。 5．第四段给出做法“Start with small acts, such as join a sports team, smile at a stranger, or volunteer in your community each day”，本题可直接摘抄原文；也可自主概括，围绕坚持小事、认真对待日常作答，观点贴合原文即可。 Passage 2 （25-26八年级上·北京·期中）                                                                                 Should We Have a Weekly Screen-free Day? Is this realistic (现实可行的) now? And what if using screens makes you happier? What do you think? Should people have one screen-free day a week? Some people think that we are spending too much time online, which can be really bad for our health. Studies have shown that it can affect our sleep. It also makes it harder for young people to focus for a long time. Even though technology is an important part of people’s lives, so is free time. Less time spent online means more time to live in the real world. A day offline would help people focus on their hobbies, which help people feel more rested and relaxed. Having one screen-free day a week would also bring families together. Screens can take away the quality time they spend with loved ones and can even cause arguments. A day without screens is a simple idea that the whole family can follow. But some people have different ideas. They think instead of banning (禁止) technology for one day a week, we should pay more attention to how often we’re online and how it makes us feel. Scrolling (滑动浏览) on social media can make us feel like we’re missing out, while receiving a funny dog video from a friend can make us feel happy right now. In fact, research has shown that screen time can improve young people’s education and development. It’s also unrealistic to spend a whole day offline—people depend on digital devices to keep in touch. It’s not wise, either. What if we’re in an emergency and need to reach someone? Surely, it’s better to take short breaks every day and turn screens off during mealtimes and an hour or two before bed. A healthy balance is what we should aim for. 1．Why should people think about how much time they spend on digital devices? 2．What does “less time spent online” mean? 3．According to the last paragraph, what should we aim for? 4．Would you like to have one screen-free day a week? Why or why not? (Please give at least two reasons.) 【答案】1．Because spending too much time on digital devices can harm our health, affect our sleep, and reduce our ability to focus. 2．It means more time to live in the real world. 3．We should aim for a healthy balance. 4．Yes, I would like to try a screen-free day each week. Firstly, I can get more time to do sports with my friends. Secondly, it would allow me to spend more time with my family to strengthen our relationships. 【导语】本文主要介绍了我们是否应该有一个每周无屏幕日，叙述无屏幕日给生活带来的影响，表明我们应该追求的是健康的平衡。 【详解】 1．根据“Some people think that we are spending too much time online, which can be really bad for our health. Studies have shown that it can affect our sleep.

Secondly, it would allow me to spend more time with my family to strengthen our relationships. 主题02 人与社会——社会现象 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·甘肃金昌·期中） Lots of people depend on tourism (旅游业) to make a living. And travelling to new places can make visitors feel relaxed and happy. However, tourism can also cause problems. For example, large crowds can harm the environment and people in those places. Because of this, some places started to control the number of tourists. Some people think it’s a good idea to control the number of tourists to protect these places. That’s because when there are too many tourists, it can be hard for local people to live their lives normally. In Venice, Italy, for example, there are over 120,000 visitors a day, but only 55,000 local people live there. This causes problems like littering, traffic jams, and harm to historical places. By controlling the number of tourists in popular areas, tourists could visit other places that need tourism more. However, some people think that controlling the number of tourists is unfair to both tourists and the locals who depend on tourism. Travelling is an excellent way to experience different cultures and people should be able to visit where they choose. In France, for example, the government is trying to encourage people to visit less popular places through social media. Controlling the number of tourists might also make travel too expensive for some people. All in all, it can be a difficult decision. But it’s ________ to find a balance (平衡) between protecting the local environment and letting people enjoy their travels. (注意：答案不得多于五个单词。) 1．How do people feel when they travel to new places? They feel . 2．Why did some places start to control the number of tourists? Because tourism can . 3．What’s the purpose of controlling the number of tourists? The purpose is to . 4．Which places does the French government encourage tourists to go? The French government encourages tourists to visit . 5．What word(s) can you put in “_________”? I can put “ ” in it. 【答案】1．relaxed and happy 2．cause problems 3．protect these places/protect the places 4．less popular places 5．important/necessary 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讨论了旅游业带来的利弊以及控制游客数量的必要性。 【详解】 1．根据“travelling to new places can make visitors feel relaxed and happy”可知，游客在新地方旅行时会感到放松和快乐。故填relaxed and happy。 2．根据“However, tourism can also cause problems. For example, large crowds can harm the environment and people in those places. Because of this, some places started to control the number of tourists.”可知，旅游业会引起问题，所以一些地方开始控制游客数量。故填cause problems。 3．根据“Some people think it’s a good idea to control the number of tourists to protect these places”可知，控制游客数量的目的是保护这些地方。故填protect these places/protect the places。 4．根据“In France, for example, the government is trying to encourage people to visit less popular places through social media”可知，法国政府鼓励游客去不太热门的地方。故填less popular places。 5．根据“All in all, it can be a difficult decision.”和“find a balance (平衡) between protecting the local environment and letting people enjoy their travels”可知，在环境保护和旅游体验之间找到平衡是重要的或是必要的，因为要保护环境，但是也不能太影响游客体验。important“重要的”，形容词，necessary“必要的”，形容词，作表语。故填important/necessary。 Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·湖南怀化·期中） Today, some young people live in their own small world. They hide in their books and feel good about themselves. They think doing housework shouldn’t be their duty because they see themselves as special above common people. This thinking is wrong. I believe all students should know how to do housework. One day, they will have their own homes and should help keep them nice. Boys should learn housework too. What will they do if they stay single (单身汉)? Even boys who get married can help at home if they know housework. They won’t lose anything by learning—they’ll have useful skills for their life. Look at students studying in other countries. All young men do housework just like girls do. Some might say, “We can pay someone to help.” Yes, but what happens if the helper leaves and you must do everything? You can’t just leave your clothes dirty, right? And what about studying in a country where it’s hard to find helpers? We must learn to take care of ourselves. Why not start learning housework now? Everyone should learn these skills. What do you think, boys and girls? 1．Why do some young people think doing housework isn’t their duty? 2．Who should learn housework according to the writer? 3．Why should boys learn housework? 4．Do you agree that all students should learn housework? Why or why not? 5．将画线部分的英文译成中文。 【答案】1．Because they see themselves as special above common people. 2．All students (should learn housework). 3．Because they may need to do it when single or help at home after getting married./Because they should have useful skills for their life. 4．Yes, because it helps students be independent./No, because studying is more important. 5．他们埋头于书中，自我感觉良好。 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讨论了年轻人应该学习做家务的重要性。 【详解】 1．根据“They think doing housework shouldn’t be their duty because they see themselves as special above common people”可知，他们认为做家务不应该是他们的责任，因为他们认为自己比普通人更特别。故填Because they see themselves as special above common people. 2．根据“I believe all students should know how to do housework.”可知，所有学生都应该知道如何做家务。故填All students (should learn housework). 3．根据“What will they do if they stay single (单身汉)? Even boys who get married can help at home if they know housework. They won’t lose anything by learning—they’ll have useful skills for their life.”可知，男孩要学习家务是因为他们可能需要在单身时这样做，或者结婚后在家帮忙/因为他们应该拥有生活中有用的技能。故填Because they may need to do it when single or help at home after getting married./Because they should have useful skills for their life. 4．开放性试题，言之有理即可，参考答案Yes, because it helps students be independent./No, because studying is more important. 5．They“他们”；hide in their books“埋头于书中”；and表示并列关系；feel good about themselves“自我感觉良好”。故填：他们埋头于书中，自我感觉良好。 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·上海徐汇·期中） Answer the questions. (根据短文内容回答下列问题) One recent Sunday morning, I planned to read a bit of a novel after breakfast. Just as I opened the book, however, my phone rang. A deliveryman asked if he could put a package in the parcel locker downstairs. I agreed and hung up. Shortly after, my friend Brad messaged me on WeChat. Our quick chat turned into a 40-minute conversation. When we finished, it was already eleven. As I was about to get back to my book, a promotional (推销的) email popped up. Then, the Eleme app chimed (鸣响) in: It’s lunchtime! Click here to get a coupon！ This experience reminded me of an article I had recently come across about Christopher Nolan. The Oscar-winning director is known for high-tech movies like Inception (《盗梦空间》) and Interstellar (《星际穿越》). But in his personal life, the 53-year-old avoids technological distractions. He doesn’t own a smartphone and has never used email. He does write the scripts (剧本) for his movies on a computer, but the device (设备) has no internet connection. “I’ve never used email. I don’t think it’s helpful for anything I do,” he said. “And staying off a smartphone gives me time to think.” Of course, Nolan is able to live without a phone or email account because his assistants can take calls and respond to online messages for him. Most of us can’t expect to live a life like that of an influential director. However, that doesn’t mean Nolan’s “no email, no phone” policy (策略) doesn’t make any sense (言之有理). Rather, it shows us the importance of focus in today’s digital world. The sharp rise in internet usage over the past ten years has come at a cost. That is, we are slowly losing the ability to focus. Our smartphones and other devices can distract us at any second of the day. It has become increasingly difficult to focus on one task for long periods of time. Nolan’s ability to produce so many excellent movies probably has something to do with his ability to focus. Without digital distractions, he can be all in when he works. He can fully focus on the job until it’s done. Most of us can’t afford to entirely cut our internet cord (网线). But when we want to focus—on our work, our studies or just a good book—we might ________________. 1．How many things stopped the writer from reading in the morning? 2．Who is Christopher Nolan? 3．Why doesn’t Nolan use email or a smartphone? 4．Nolan’s “no email, no phone” policy doesn’t make any sense, does it? 5．Complete the last sentence. “...we might .” 6．Will you try to stop using smartphones or other electronic devices? Why? 【答案】1．Four. 2．He is the Oscar-winning director who is known for high-tech movies like Inception and Interstellar. 3．Because he doesn’t think it’s helpful for anything he does and staying off a smartphone gives him time to think. 4．Yes, it does. 5．try to stay away from digital distractions for a while. 6．Yes, I will. Because it can help me focus better on my studies and life. 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要通过作者被数字设备干扰的经历，引出奥斯卡获奖导演Christopher Nolan避免数字干扰、专注工作的做法，进而阐述在数字时代保持专注的重要性。 【详解】 1．根据文章第1段“a deliveryman... my friend Brad... a promotional email... the Eleme app”可知，有四件事打断了作者早上阅读。故填Four. 2．根据文章第2段“This experience reminded me of an article I had recently come across about Christopher Nolan. The Oscar-winning director is known for high-tech movies like Inception (《盗梦空间》) and Interstellar (《星际穿越》).”可知，Christopher Nolan是一位因《盗梦空间》《星际穿越》等高科技电影而闻名的奥斯卡获奖导演。故填He is the Oscar-winning director who is known for high-tech movies like Inception and Interstellar. 3．根据文章第2段“I’ve never used email. I don’t think it’s helpful for anything I do,” he said. “And staying off a smartphone gives me time to think.”可知，Nolan不用电子邮件和智能手机是因为他认为电子邮件对他做的事没帮助，远离智能手机能给他思考的时间。故填Because he doesn’t think it’s helpful for anything he does and staying off a smartphone gives him time to think. 4．根据文章第3段“However, that doesn’t mean Nolan’s ‘no email, no phone’ policy doesn’t make any sense.”可知，Nolan的“无邮件、无手机”策略是言之有理的。故填Yes, it does. 5．结合文章主旨，为了保持专注，我们可以尝试暂时远离数字干扰。故填try to stay away from digital distractions for a while. 6．本题为开放性问题，答案不唯一，可根据自身情况回答。故填Yes, I will. Because it can help me focus better on my studies and life. Passage 2 （23-24九年级上·山西运城·期中） Most Chinese parents have great expectations (期望) of their children. When children were born, their parents had planned everything for them. It is common for parents to want their children to be successful. However, many children in China are unhappy. They live a planned life and are forced to fulfill the dreams. According to some studies, whether a child will be successful or not mainly depends on his or her parents’ expectations. However, unrealistic (不切实际的) expectations can be harmful to children. Every child has his or her own thoughts and feelings Parents’ expectations can take children’s freedom (自由) away. Wise parents allow their children to have some freedom. They encourage their children to do things they like to do and never judge them by their grades. My parents’ expectations for me are to be happy, kind and healthy. They never put too much pressure on me, and I live a happy life. However, I have my own dreams. I keep working hard, though my parents do not want me to do so. I will never lose heart because my parents always encourage me when I am in trouble. In a word, I think parents’ expectations are needed. However, parents should not give their children too much pressure. Instead, they should give them enough freedom. Parents must make sure their expectations for their children are realistic so that their children will not lose their self-confidence (自信).   Many children in China are unhappy. Most Chinese parents had 1 everything for them when they were born. Studies show whether a child will be successful or not 2 depends on his or her parents’ expectations. Every child has his or her own thoughts and hobbies. 3 parents allow their children to be free. They encourage their children to do what they want.   My parents 4 me to be happy, kind and healthy. I don’t have too much pressure but I have my own dreams. I never stop working hard. I will never lose heart because my parents always encourage me when I am in trouble. In a word, I think parents should give their children enough 5 instead of too much pressure. 【答案】1．planned 2．mainly 3．Wise 4．expect 5．freedom 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍了大多数中国父母都对孩子有某种期望，这种期望是把双刃剑。如果给予孩子的期望不合理或过高，违背孩子的成长规律和现实情况，反而会给他们带来不利的影响。 1．句意：大多数中国父母在孩子出生时就为他们计划好了一切。根据第一段“When children were born, their parents had planned everything for them.”可知此处缺少“计划”。故填planned。 2．句意：研究表明，孩子能否成功主要取决于父母的期望。根据第二段“According to some studies, whether a child will be successful or not mainly depends on his or her parents’ expectations.”可知此处缺少“主要地”。故填mainly。 3．句意：聪明的父母允许他们的孩子自由。根据第二段“Wise parents allow their children to have some freedom.”可知是聪明的父母给他们的孩子一些自由，句首首字母需大写。故填Wise。 4．句意：我父母希望我快乐、善良、健康。根据第三段“My parents’ expectations for me are to be happy, kind and healthy.”可知是我父母希望我快乐、善良、健康，空格处作谓语，且需用“expectations”谓语动词形式expect，本句时态为一般现在时，主语parents是复数，谓语动词原形。故填expect。 5．句意：总之，我认为父母应该给孩子足够的自由，而不是太大的压力。根据第四段“However, parents should not give their children too much pressure. Instead, they should give them enough freedom.”可知， 父母不应该给孩子太多压力，给他们足够的自由，空格处作宾语， 应用名词形式freedom。故填freedom。 Passage 3 （23-24九年级上·江苏泰州·期中） 阅读下面短文，根据所读内容，在表格空白处填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每空只填一个单词。 The world is changing every minute. As AI art generators (生成器) take the world like a storm, many unexpected things happen at the same time. We don’t know whether it is good or not. People are not sure if their works should be thought as art at all. Artists spent a lot of time putting their inner worlds onto these works. AI painters can create more than 1,000 new works of art with every tap of the enter key on a keyboard. But a mass-produced (批量生产) print of the Mona Lisa isn’t worth as much as the real Leonardo da Vinci’s painting. Should anyone pay for these mass-produced things? And if an artist puts AI masterpieces into the market, what should the price be? AI art is a program learning from the work of artists to create a new piece according to the needs of a human. But who paints the artwork, the machine or its user? And can the original (原始的) artists ask for money for copyright (版权)? Such questions make the problem more difficult to solve, and that also leads to arguments against using AI-generated art at the art market. Once we’ve answered those questions, we can face the really big problem: When an AI-generated painting wins an award, who should the prize be given to? What’s worse, AI art generators copies artist’s works without telling them, that may even break the law. So, next time you use AI technology to produce some works, be careful. Problem As the world is 1 by AI art generators like a storm, many unexpected things happen. Facts Some people 2 if their works should be thought as art at all. Artists spent 3 time putting their inner worlds onto these works. AI painters can create 4 1,000 new works of art with every tap of the enter key on a keyboard. But a mass-produced print worth 5 than the real painting by an artist. If an artist puts AI masterpieces up for sale, how much should it 6 ? Who is the 7 of the artwork, the machine or its user? And can the original artists ask for money for copyright (版权)? Influence Such questions also 8 arguments against using AI-generated art at the art market. When an AI-generated painting wins an award, who should 9 the prize? What’s worse, AI art generators copies artist’s works without telling them, that may even be 10 the law. 【答案】 1．changed/taken/swept 2．wonder/doubt 3．much 4．over 5．less 6．cost 7．painter 8．cause 9．get/receive/have 10．against 【导语】本文主要介绍的是随着AI艺术生成器席卷全球，引发了很多需要解决的问题。 【详解】 1．根据“As AI art generators (生成器) take the world like a storm, many unexpected things happen at the same time.”可知，当AI艺术生成器像风暴一样席卷世界时，许多意想不到的事情同时发生，change“改变”，sweep“横扫”，take“控制”，这三个单词都符合，根据“by AI art generators”及is可知，此处应填过去分词与is构成一般现在时被动语态，故填changed/taken/swept。 2．根据“People are not sure if their works should be thought as art at all.”可知，人们不确定他们的作品是否应该被视为艺术，也就是想知道/怀疑作品是否应该被视为艺术，wonder“想知道”，doubt“怀疑”，此句是一般现在时，主语是复数形式，动词用原形，故填wonder/doubt。 3．根据“Artists spent a lot of time putting their inner worlds onto these works.”可知，艺术家们花了很多时间把他们的内心世界放在这些作品上，修饰不可数名词time，用much替代a lot of，故填much。 4．根据“AI painters can create more than 1,000 new works of art with every tap of the enter key on a keyboard.”可知，只要按一下键盘上的回车键，人工智能画家就能创作出1000多幅新的艺术作品，more than=over“超过”，故填over。 5．根据“But a mass-produced (批量生产) print of the Mona Lisa isn’t worth as much as the real Leonardo da Vinci’s painting.”可知，但是，大量生产的《蒙娜丽莎》的版画不如列奥纳多·达·芬奇的真迹值钱，less than“不到”，故填less。 6．根据“And if an artist puts AI masterpieces into the market, what should the price be”可知，如果艺术家将人工智能杰作投放市场，价格应该是多少，也就是应该花多少钱，此处用sth cost+金钱的用法，should后面的动词用原形，故填cost。 7．根据“But who paints the artwork, the machine or its user?”可知，谁来画艺术品，机器还是它的使用者，也就是谁是艺术品的画家，painter“画家”，根据is可知，此空应填单数形式，故填painter。 8．根据“Such questions make the problem more difficult to solve, and that also leads to arguments against using AI-generated art at the art market.”可知，这些问题也引发了反对在艺术市场上使用人工智能生成艺术的争论，cause“引起”，此句是一般现在时，主语是复数形式，动词用原形，故填cause。 9．根据“When an AI-generated painting wins an award, who should the prize be given to”可知，当人工智能生成的绘画获奖时，谁应该获奖，get/receive/have都可以翻译成“获得”，should后面的动词用原形，故填get/receive/have。 10．根据“What’s worse, AI art generators copies artist’s works without telling them, that may even break the law.”可知，AI艺术生成器在没有告知艺术家的情况下复制他们的作品，这甚至可能是违法的，against“违反”，故填against。 Passage 4 （22-23九年级上·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。 It is hard for many people to accept changes. However, life is always changing. We might lose our jobs, our loved ones, or have other life-changing things. We might not like or accept the changes, but we can deal with them in an active way. Luckily, there are many ways to face changes, to deal with them and finally accept them. It is wise to release(宣泄) the feeling brought by a change that upsets you. For example, losing your job makes you sad. You can tell others your feelings in a polite way. Also you can ask yourself, “Why am I upset or worried about this change?” “What will happen as a result of this change?” Asking yourself these questions can help you think if the change is really worth(值得) worrying about. Besides, though the change can have a bad influence on your life, in most situations you can turn it into a chance to discover your hope for life again. Of course, you need to do something so that you can completely accept changes. When the change influences you, you can keep working, trying something you’ve never done before, or staying with others. In this way, you will make yourself forget worries. It’ll help change your life actively for the future. Finding a way to move on and thinking about your future is another important part of accepting changes. You can get a new job or have a long trip. By looking to the future, you’ll be able to better deal with the past and accept it as something that had to happen for you to move forward. Besides, make a decision to try to use your power(力量) to make an even better world. In this way, you’re accepting the change but also turning it upside down.

Students used to ask their parents for help. Nowadays, AI is becoming a useful tool for students’ study, especially for their homework. Do you think AI is a better teacher than parents? AI can teach math without judging me, but I think it can’t give something important—personal support and encouragement. Parents might get angry when you make mistakes, but they feel proud when you improve. They push you to try harder because they believe in you. Learning is not just about getting the right answers. It is also about becoming braver when someone supports you through failures. —Ivy When I make mistakes, AI won’t shout at me or put pressure on me as my parents do. Sometimes, AI is even smarter than my parents and can solve problems they can’t. For example, when I had a physics question, AI broke it down into simple steps and gave real-life examples. This helped me understand better and learn more easily. —Oliver Some students feel nervous about asking parents for help and are afraid of being shouted at. Thus, AI is better than parents. Firstly, AI always provides stress-free help and stays calm. Besides, AI is also a smart tool that can quickly collect a lot of information and offer more ways to solve study problems. Lastly, AI is always available and never gets tired. It can help students anytime. —Daisy In the end, while AI is calm and helpful in studying, it can never take the place of parents, who play an important role in every part of children’s life. 1．In Ivy’s opinion, can AI give personal support and encouragement? 2．How did AI help Oliver when he had a physics problem? 3．What do Oliver and Daisy think of AI when they need help? 4．When you have problems with homework, who will you ask for help, AI or your parents? Why? (about 30 words) Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·河北保定·期中） 阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 Some people say that today reading is not as important as it was. That’s because these days we have photographs, films, radio, and television. Photography is certainly a wonderful invention. Photographs can give a very clear idea of places and of people that we have never seen. An encyclopedia (百科全书), for example, is always better when it has good pictures. But we also need words to explain the photographs. In the same way, a good film has action, movement, colour, and maybe music. These are things we do not find on the printed page. But reading a novel has certain advantages over watching even an excellent feature film (故事片). Reading a novel requires imagination. Each of us imagines a story differently. Watching news on television can certainly be exciting. But we need newspapers as well. Some important news stories happen when there are no cameras around. More importantly, a newspaper does not just report the news. It explains why something has been happening. It also contains interesting articles on different subjects. Reading is a skill and like other skills, it needs practice. The more we read, the better readers we become. And the better readers we become, the more we enjoy reading! The secret is to get into the reading habit. Read at least a little every day. 1．Why do some people say reading is not as important as it was? 2．What can photographs give people? 3．What are the advantages of a novel over a feature film? 4．What does the writer think of watching news on television? 5．What will you do to practice reading? Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·山西晋中·期中） 请阅读下面语篇，根据其内容回答问题，并将答案写在答题卡相应的位置上。 Traditional culture is like a valuable gift from our ancestors (祖先)—think of hanfu, mooncakes, or old folk songs. It tells us who we are and where we come from, but now we have a question: how should we pass it on? Some of us think we can add new ideas to make it fit our lives better. Others believe we need to keep it exactly as it was, so we don’t lose its true meaning. Let’s listen to both sides and see what makes sense. We think adding new ideas to traditional culture is the best way to let it “live” with us! Traditional culture isn’t something that’s stuck in the past. For example, think about hanfu (traditional Chinese clothes). Before, people only wore it for big traditional events. But now, designers add small modern things, like making hanfu jackets easier to zip, or using bright, fun colors that young people love. Now, many of us wear hanfu to school or parks, and more people want to learn about its history. If we never add new ideas, traditional things might feel “boring” to us. Take old folk songs as an example: they have nice tunes (音调), but the words talk about things from long ago. If singers write new lyrics about our school life or hobbies (and keep the old tunes), we’ll actually want to listen and sing along! Adding new ideas doesn’t mean we forget the old parts—it just lets traditional culture fit our lives better, so we’ll pass it on happily. We don’t agree. The most important thing about traditional culture is its “true heart”, so we should keep it as it was! Traditional culture carries our ancestors’ stories and feelings. Let’s take the Mid-Autumn Festival as an example. We eat mooncakes and look at the moon because it’s a time to miss family. If we change mooncakes into ice cream cakes (and forget why we eat them), or just play phone games instead of talking about the moon’s stories, the festival loses its meaning. It won’t feel like “Mid-Autumn Festival” anymore; it’ll just be a day to eat snacks. Some traditional skills can’t be changed, either. For example, making Chinese knotting needs specific steps-each knot has a meaning (like “good luck” or “harmony”). If we tie the knots sometimes to make them fascinating, they won’t have that special meaning. Keeping the tradition isn’t being old-fashioned; it’s respecting the love and wisdom our ancestors put into these things. Only by keeping their true form, can we really understand and pass on our culture. Side A (Add New Ideas)                                Side B (Keep It as It Is) Whether we add new ideas or keep it as it is, the goal is to let traditional culture stay with us. After all, loving and cherishing it is the best way to pass it on. 1．Why should traditional culture be passed on? 2．How many examples are given by Side A? What are they? 3．How should we celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival according to Side B? 4．What does the underlined “true heart” mean? 5．Which way of passing on the traditional culture would you like to choose? Why? 主题02 人与社会——社会现象 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·北京海淀·期中） “Lying down” (also known as tang ping), has become a hot word among young Chinese people these days. The idea of low material needs and being willing to accept whatever life gives them is described as a “lying down” lifestyle. Some young people complain that to raise a child needs too much money and they often get into a fight with their family. At the same time, the rising living costs including food and housing have pushed them so hard that they could hardly breathe. Some want to lie down because their tiring jobs, competition with peers, as well as personal relationships force them to run away. On the other hand, with the great improvement of living conditions, it is true that some Chinese youth today have lost the spirit of fighting hard for a better life. “I stay at home, sleep and watch TV series, and I’m pleased with what I have now. Actually, there are many people around me who value happiness and freedom most,” said Daisy, who left her job two weeks ago. No wonder that some young people would choose to live a simple way instead of always following the good quality of fighting hard. Interestingly, most young people, who are “big fans” of the “lying down” lifestyle, point out that they only accept a temporary (暂时的) lying down as a short rest. In fact, lying down is not totally comfortable for them. Most young people who lie down always regard it as a lack of ambition (抱负) and feel ashamed about it. “Young people have both ambition and confusion about their future, but most of us have refused to waste chances and challenges,” a college student said. 1．What is a “lying down” lifestyle? 2．What are the factors which cause young people to lie down? 3．What do most young people regard the “lying down” lifestyle as? 4．Will you choose “lying down” lifestyle? Why or why not? (At least 2 reasons) Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·新疆·期中） 根据语篇内容在缩写文章中，填入与原文意思相符的词，每空一词 Most Chinese parents have great expectations (期望) of their children. When children were born, their parents had planned everything for them. It is common for parents to want their children to be successful. However, many children in China are unhappy. They live a planned life and are forced to fulfill the dreams. According to some studies, whether a child will be successful or not mainly depends on his or her parents’ expectations. However, unrealistic (不切实际的) expectations can be harmful to children. Every child has his or her own thoughts and feelings Parents’ expectations can take children’s freedom (自由) away. Wise parents allow their children to have some freedom. They encourage their children to do things they like to do and never judge them by their grades. My parents’ expectations for me are to be happy, kind and healthy. They never put too much pressure on me, and I live a happy life. However, I have my own dreams. I keep working hard, though my parents do not want me to do so. I will never lose heart because my parents always encourage me when I am in trouble. In a word, I think parents’ expectations are needed. However, parents should not give their children too much pressure. Instead, they should give them enough freedom. Parents must make sure their expectations for their children are realistic so that their children will not lose their self-confidence (自信). Many children in China are unhappy. Most Chinese parents had 1 everything for them when they were born. Studies show whether a child will be successful or not 2 depends on his or her parents’ expectations.

Long ago, early humans made clothes from leather. Today, we still use leather to make shoes, bags, belts, and even car seats. Leather comes from animal skin, usually cows. But now, some people think we don’t need real leather anymore. Some of these are made from plastic, which can hurt the Earth. Others are made from plants, like mushrooms, pineapples, and cacti. Some scientists can even grow leather in a lab using tiny cells from animals. Shall we stop using leather? The following are the different viewpoints of two students. Kathy: Many people think it’s unacceptable to wear a fur coat, so why is it OK to wear a leather one? It’s still made from an animal. Most of the leather we use is from cows, and cows give off gases that make the Earth hotter. Making leather also makes the air and water dirty. We don’t need to use leather anymore. We can use these instead. John: Leather is still a good choice. Many people around the world eat meat, so it makes sense to use those animal skins for leather instead of letting them go to waste. Fake leather (人造皮革) is often made from plastic, which does not break down and can make pollution worse. It also doesn’t last as long, so we may need to buy new things more often. A．We should stop using leather. B．Raising cows can be bad for the environment. C．Leather is strong, lasts a long time, and breaks down naturally when we throw it away. D．They want to use other materials that look and feel like leather but are not from animals. E．There are plant-based leathers that look nice, cost less, and don’t hurt animals. 1． 2． 3． 4． 5．Who do you agree with, Kathy or John? Why?  (Answer within 15 words) 主题01 人与社会——学习策略 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·福建厦门·期中） 阅读下面短文，回答下列问题。 Have you ever heard of “NPCs” in games? NPC means Non-Player Character background characters with the same simple actions, like a shopkeeper who always says, “Hello! What do you need?” Now, some students joke that they feel like real-life NPCs. Every day, they do almost the same things. They feel they live such a common or even boring life when comparing themselves to colorful lives online. But life isn’t a game. We can choose to act and grow. For example, in China, a 15-year-old boy named Li Hua used to think he was “just an NPC”. But after joining a school robot club, he learned computer skills and AI technology, and his team won a national competition. He feels proud of himself now and believes he can have a bright future. While NPCs wait for others to control them, we can write their own stories. Grass doesn’t need to be a bright flower; it can be green. So, don’t call yourself an NPC． You can find your meaning in small things. Start with small acts, such as joining a sports team, smiling at a stranger, or volunteering in your community each day. Even planting a flower today can make a garden tomorrow. Remember, life’s best part isn’t the final prize- it’s becoming stronger bit by bit. 1．What does NPC mean? 2．When do some students think they live a common or boring life? 3．Where did Li Hua learn AI technology? 4．How does Li Hua feel after he won a national competition? 5．How can we find our meaning in small things? Passage 2 （25-26八年级上·北京·期中）                                                                                 Should We Have a Weekly Screen-free Day? Is this realistic (现实可行的) now? And what if using screens makes you happier? What do you think? Should people have one screen-free day a week? Some people think that we are spending too much time online, which can be really bad for our health. Studies have shown that it can affect our sleep. It also makes it harder for young people to focus for a long time. Even though technology is an important part of people’s lives, so is free time. Less time spent online means more time to live in the real world. A day offline would help people focus on their hobbies, which help people feel more rested and relaxed. Having one screen-free day a week would also bring families together. Screens can take away the quality time they spend with loved ones and can even cause arguments. A day without screens is a simple idea that the whole family can follow. But some people have different ideas. They think instead of banning (禁止) technology for one day a week, we should pay more attention to how often we’re online and how it makes us feel. Scrolling (滑动浏览) on social media can make us feel like we’re missing out, while receiving a funny dog video from a friend can make us feel happy right now. In fact, research has shown that screen time can improve young people’s education and development. It’s also unrealistic to spend a whole day offline—people depend on digital devices to keep in touch. It’s not wise, either. What if we’re in an emergency and need to reach someone? Surely, it’s better to take short breaks every day and turn screens off during mealtimes and an hour or two before bed. A healthy balance is what we should aim for. 1．Why should people think about how much time they spend on digital devices? 2．What does “less time spent online” mean? 3．According to the last paragraph, what should we aim for? 4．Would you like to have one screen-free day a week? Why or why not? (Please give at least two reasons.) 主题02 人与社会——社会现象 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·甘肃金昌·期中） Lots of people depend on tourism (旅游业) to make a living. And travelling to new places can make visitors feel relaxed and happy. However, tourism can also cause problems. For example, large crowds can harm the environment and people in those places. Because of this, some places started to control the number of tourists. Some people think it’s a good idea to control the number of tourists to protect these places. That’s because when there are too many tourists, it can be hard for local people to live their lives normally. In Venice, Italy, for example, there are over 120,000 visitors a day, but only 55,000 local people live there. This causes problems like littering, traffic jams, and harm to historical places. By controlling the number of tourists in popular areas, tourists could visit other places that need tourism more. However, some people think that controlling the number of tourists is unfair to both tourists and the locals who depend on tourism. Travelling is an excellent way to experience different cultures and people should be able to visit where they choose. In France, for example, the government is trying to encourage people to visit less popular places through social media. Controlling the number of tourists might also make travel too expensive for some people. All in all, it can be a difficult decision. But it’s ________ to find a balance (平衡) between protecting the local environment and letting people enjoy their travels. (注意：答案不得多于五个单词。) 1．How do people feel when they travel to new places? They feel . 2．Why did some places start to control the number of tourists? Because tourism can . 3．What’s the purpose of controlling the number of tourists? The purpose is to . 4．Which places does the French government encourage tourists to go? The French government encourages tourists to visit . 5．What word(s) can you put in “_________”? I can put “ ” in it. Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·湖南怀化·期中） Today, some young people live in their own small world. They hide in their books and feel good about themselves. They think doing housework shouldn’t be their duty because they see themselves as special above common people. This thinking is wrong. I believe all students should know how to do housework. One day, they will have their own homes and should help keep them nice. Boys should learn housework too. What will they do if they stay single (单身汉)? Even boys who get married can help at home if they know housework. They won’t lose anything by learning—they’ll have useful skills for their life. Look at students studying in other countries. All young men do housework just like girls do. Some might say, “We can pay someone to help.” Yes, but what happens if the helper leaves and you must do everything? You can’t just leave your clothes dirty, right? And what about studying in a country where it’s hard to find helpers? We must learn to take care of ourselves. Why not start learning housework now? Everyone should learn these skills. What do you think, boys and girls? 1．Why do some young people think doing housework isn’t their duty? 2．Who should learn housework according to the writer? 3．Why should boys learn housework? 4．Do you agree that all students should learn housework? Why or why not? 5．将画线部分的英文译成中文。 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·上海徐汇·期中） Answer the questions. (根据短文内容回答下列问题) One recent Sunday morning, I planned to read a bit of a novel after breakfast. Just as I opened the book, however, my phone rang. A deliveryman asked if he could put a package in the parcel locker downstairs. I agreed and hung up. Shortly after, my friend Brad messaged me on WeChat. Our quick chat turned into a 40-minute conversation. When we finished, it was already eleven. As I was about to get back to my book, a promotional (推销的) email popped up. Then, the Eleme app chimed (鸣响) in: It’s lunchtime! Click here to get a coupon！ This experience reminded me of an article I had recently come across about Christopher Nolan. The Oscar-winning director is known for high-tech movies like Inception (《盗梦空间》) and Interstellar (《星际穿越》). But in his personal life, the 53-year-old avoids technological distractions. He doesn’t own a smartphone and has never used email. He does write the scripts (剧本) for his movies on a computer, but the device (设备) has no internet connection. “I’ve never used email. I don’t think it’s helpful for anything I do,” he said. “And staying off a smartphone gives me time to think.” Of course, Nolan is able to live without a phone or email account because his assistants can take calls and respond to online messages for him. Most of us can’t expect to live a life like that of an influential director. However, that doesn’t mean Nolan’s “no email, no phone” policy (策略) doesn’t make any sense (言之有理). Rather, it shows us the importance of focus in today’s digital world. The sharp rise in internet usage over the past ten years has come at a cost. That is, we are slowly losing the ability to focus. Our smartphones and other devices can distract us at any second of the day. It has become increasingly difficult to focus on one task for long periods of time. Nolan’s ability to produce so many excellent movies probably has something to do with his ability to focus. Without digital distractions, he can be all in when he works. He can fully focus on the job until it’s done. Most of us can’t afford to entirely cut our internet cord (网线). But when we want to focus—on our work, our studies or just a good book—we might ________________. 1．How many things stopped the writer from reading in the morning? 2．Who is Christopher Nolan? 3．Why doesn’t Nolan use email or a smartphone? 4．Nolan’s “no email, no phone” policy doesn’t make any sense, does it? 5．Complete the last sentence. “...we might .” 6．Will you try to stop using smartphones or other electronic devices? Why? Passage 2 （23-24九年级上·山西运城·期中） Most Chinese parents have great expectations (期望) of their children. When children were born, their parents had planned everything for them.

Passage 3 （23-24九年级上·江苏泰州·期中） 阅读下面短文，根据所读内容，在表格空白处填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每空只填一个单词。 The world is changing every minute. As AI art generators (生成器) take the world like a storm, many unexpected things happen at the same time. We don’t know whether it is good or not. People are not sure if their works should be thought as art at all. Artists spent a lot of time putting their inner worlds onto these works. AI painters can create more than 1,000 new works of art with every tap of the enter key on a keyboard. But a mass-produced (批量生产) print of the Mona Lisa isn’t worth as much as the real Leonardo da Vinci’s painting. Should anyone pay for these mass-produced things? And if an artist puts AI masterpieces into the market, what should the price be? AI art is a program learning from the work of artists to create a new piece according to the needs of a human. But who paints the artwork, the machine or its user? And can the original (原始的) artists ask for money for copyright (版权)? Such questions make the problem more difficult to solve, and that also leads to arguments against using AI-generated art at the art market. Once we’ve answered those questions, we can face the really big problem: When an AI-generated painting wins an award, who should the prize be given to? What’s worse, AI art generators copies artist’s works without telling them, that may even break the law. So, next time you use AI technology to produce some works, be careful. Problem As the world is 1 by AI art generators like a storm, many unexpected things happen. Facts Some people 2 if their works should be thought as art at all.

Passage 4 （22-23九年级上·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。 It is hard for many people to accept changes. However, life is always changing. We might lose our jobs, our loved ones, or have other life-changing things. We might not like or accept the changes, but we can deal with them in an active way. Luckily, there are many ways to face changes, to deal with them and finally accept them. It is wise to release(宣泄) the feeling brought by a change that upsets you. For example, losing your job makes you sad. You can tell others your feelings in a polite way. Also you can ask yourself, “Why am I upset or worried about this change?” “What will happen as a result of this change?” Asking yourself these questions can help you think if the change is really worth(值得) worrying about. Besides, though the change can have a bad influence on your life, in most situations you can turn it into a chance to discover your hope for life again. Of course, you need to do something so that you can completely accept changes. When the change influences you, you can keep working, trying something you’ve never done before, or staying with others. In this way, you will make yourself forget worries. It’ll help change your life actively for the future.
