B The little prince lived on a small lonely planet with only a few volcanoes and a beautiful rose. Day after day, he took good care of his rose. But he felt confused sometimes, so one day he left his planet and travelled to many other small planets in outer space to look for answers. On one planet, he met an old king. The king thought he ruled everything around him and expected everyone to follow his orders. But in fact, he ruled nobody at all. On another planet, there was a man who loved praise very much. He only wanted other people to admire him for no real reason. He cared about nothing but people’s compliments. Later the little prince arrived on the earth. He met a clever fox in the wild field. The fox told him what taming means. “You become responsible forever for what you’ve tamed. You are responsible for your rose.” The little prince understood the deep meaning at last. His rose was not special in the whole world, but because he spent plenty of time looking after her day and night, she became completely unique for him. Many teenagers can learn a lot from this warm story. True value comes from your time and your devotion, not from shining looks or wide public praise. What truly matters is the effort you put into the people and things you love. ( ) 6. Where did the little prince meet the old king? A. On his own planet B. On another planet C. On the earth D. On the moon ( ) 7. What did the man on the second planet want? A. Power B. Money C. Praise D. Rose ( ) 8. The underlined word “taming” means in Chinese? A. 驯养；建立羁绊 B. 欺骗 C. 躲避 D. 抛弃 ( ) 9. Why was the little prince’s rose unique? A. Because she was the most beautiful rose. B. Because he spent time taking care of her. C. Because she came from the earth. D. Because many people admired her. ( ) 10. What is the main idea of this short passage? A. How to travel in space. B. The importance of devotion and responsibility. C. How to grow beautiful roses. D. The king’s powerful rule. C Plants cannot speak or make sounds like humans, but they can send messages to each other in special secret ways. For a very long time, few people knew plants had such amazing abilities. Scientists have found that plants use chemicals in the air and underground root networks to “talk” with their neighbouring plants. When insects start eating the leaves of a tomato plant, the wounded plant will send special chemical gas into the air. Nearby tomato plants get this gas message quickly. Then they will produce something bad‑tasting inside their leaves. In this way, they protect themselves from coming insect attacks before insects arrive. Besides gas floating in the air, plant roots under soil also work as a hidden communication network. Through underground roots, one plant can pass warm danger warnings and useful nutrition to its neighbouring plants. Sometimes weaker plants can even get food support from healthier ones nearby. This amazing skill is very helpful for plants growing in wild open fields, where weather and insects are always unpredictable. This natural skill helps whole plant groups live through bad weather and insect attacks. For local farmers in the countryside, learning how plants “talk” is really practical knowledge. It can help them grow crops better in the fields, and cut down the use of harmful pesticide. If we understand these secret messages of plants, we can also get new ideas for greener and more environment‑friendly farming. ( )11. How do plants send messages? A. By speaking loudly B. By using chemicals C. By moving their leaves D. By giving out light ( )12. What will nearby tomato plants do after receiving gas messages? A. They will grow much faster. B. They will produce bad‑tasting things in leaves. C. They will die in a short time. D. They will attract more insects. ( )13. What is the function of plants’ underground root network? A. To produce gas for air. B. To pass warnings and nutrition. C. To catch insects for food. D. To make beautiful flowers. ( )14. What can farmers learn from this study? A. How to make plants speak. B. Ways to grow crops with less pesticide. C. How to stop all insects completely. D. Methods to change plant’s colour. ( )15. Which is the best title for this article? A. How plants “talk” to each other B. Different kinds of farm crops C. How insects eat plant leaves D. The bad influence of pesticide D 七选五（有 2 个多余选项） Life is full of different difficulties for teenage students as they grow up. Whether it is heavy schoolwork, failed exams or trouble getting along with others, nobody can always stay lucky and successful all the time. Many teenagers feel upset when they meet hard situations and do not know what to do. 1.________ First, accept that failure is normal. Nobody can succeed all the time. We may fail in exams or fail to achieve our small goals now and then. 2.________ It does not mean you are useless. It just means you still have lots of useful things to learn in your growth journey. Every mistake can offer us valuable life lessons. Second, talk with people you trust. Keeping worries deep inside will make your pressure become heavier. 3.________ You can share your worries with your parents, teachers or good friends around you. After you speak out your trouble, you will feel much lighter inside your heart. Sometimes others’ advice can open you a new way to solve problems. Third, keep doing small things well. Big beautiful dreams are made of small daily steps. We cannot expect great success in one single day. 4.________ Small progress also deserves your praise and encouragement. Every little effort counts on the road to your dream. Last, never lose your hope. Hard times will not last forever, but a strong spirit will. 5.________ Keep moving forward little by little, and you will finally make great progress step by step. A. When you fail, don’t lose confidence in yourself. B. You don’t have to achieve great success overnight. C. So how should we deal with hard times? D. You should keep your troubles completely inside your heart. E. Sharing feelings is a good way to reduce your stress. F. Every difficulty can teach us valuable life lessons. G. We must never meet any difficulties in our life. 1.________ 2.________ 3.________ 4.________ 5.________ 四、短文选词填空（共 10 空，每空 1 分，计 10 分；十选十，含 1 个动词短语，每词限用一次，变换适当形式） show…talent for; society; encourage; treasure; boundary; praise; instrument; since; tradition; mission Many local folk artists in our countryside are our cultural (1)________.

Our personality shapes how we think, act and communicate with people around us. It plays an important role in our study, daily life and future plans. Two main forces form our personality: nature and environment. Nature means some qualities we get from our parents. Some qualities are born inside us and appear when we are very young. For example, some kids are naturally outgoing and ready to make new friends, while others are quiet and shy and prefer to stay alone. These in‑born qualities are hard to change in our whole life, but that does not mean we cannot make any improvement. Environment includes school education, different life experiences and people around us. Good experiences such as finishing a difficult task can make us more confident. Bad experiences may make us careful or even shy. Though some parts of personality are born, many parts can be changed by what we meet in daily life. We can learn new qualities from our teachers, classmates and family members. Personality also influences our choices of jobs in the future. A patient person may do well in teaching or farming work. A creative person is fit for art‑related work. However, personality is not everything. Hard work and constant efforts can also help us make great progress even if our personality is not perfect enough. Title: What shapes our (1)________ Two main forces Nature: qualities we (2)________ from parents. Some are difficult to (3)________. (4)________: education, experiences and people around us. Good experiences build (5)________. Bad experiences may make people shy. Influence It affects our (6)________ choices. Examples (7)________ people: fit for teaching or farming. Creative people: suitable for (8)________ jobs. Important tip Personality is not (9)________. (10)________ work also brings progress. 六、短文填空（7+3模式，共10空，每空 1.5分，计 15分；7空括号词变形；3 空无提示：冠词、连词、介词各 1） 阅读短文，用所给词的适当形式填空；无提示词每空填一个合适单词。 A village girl named Li Na is really an inspiration for teenagers in our countryside.

He comes from a small mountain village in our countryside. Unlike many city teenagers, he has few modern entertainment activities after school. He shows great talent for music and he is especially good at playing the erhu. He spends much of his free time practising this musical instrument after he finishes his farm work and school homework. He learns a lot from the peanut‑spirit we have learnt in Unit 4. He thinks we should be useful to others but keep quiet, just like peanuts. He hopes his soft music can bring warmth and simple happiness to the old people and kids in his village. 听第二篇短文，回答 16‑20 小题 Li Mei is fourteen years old. She is a Grade 9 student in our village school. She loves Chinese folk music very much and really enjoys practising it in her free time after classes. But now she meets a big problem in her daily life. She cannot get a good balance between her heavy schoolwork and her music hobby. Sometimes she stays up late for music practice at night. As a result, she often feels sleepy and tired in class the next day. Her school grades start to drop little by little, and she feels quite stressed and worried. Luckily, her patient teacher gives her some practical good advice. She tells Li Mei to plan her daily time carefully and make a proper timetable for study and hobbies. From Li Mei’s story, we can learn that keeping a balance between study and hobbies is really important for every teenager. 一、听力 1‑5：B A B A A 6‑10：A B B B B 11‑15：A BA B B 16‑20：B B A B B 二、完形填空 1.B 2.C 3.A 4.B 5.C 6.C 7.D 8.A 9.B 10.C 11.A 12.C 13.B 14.A 15.B 三、阅读理解 A：1.B 2.C 3.C 4.A 5.B B：6.B 7.C 8.A 9.B 10.B C：11.B 12.B 13.B 14.B 15.A D 七选五：1.C 2.A 3.E 4.B 5.F 四、短文选词填空 1.treasures 2.shows talent for 3.instrument 4.boundary 5.society 6.praise 7.Since 8.encourage 9.traditional 10.mission 五、任务型阅读 1.personality 2.get 3.change 4.Environment 5.confidence 6.job 7.Patient 8.art‑related 9.everything 10.Hard 六、短文填空 1.showed 2.tired 3.valuable 4.a 5.Though/ Although 6.with 7.listeners’ 8.keep 9.If 10.surely 七、书面表达 > 泰州评分标准：21‑25（优秀）；16‑20（良好）；11‑15（及格）；0‑10（不及格） 高分范文（99 词，22‑25 分） The dream in my heart I am patient and energetic. My dream is to become an agricultural engineer in the future.

As a Grade 9 student, I have plenty of heavy schoolwork every day. Sometimes I feel stressed and I wonder whether my dream can come true. But I will never give it up no matter what difficulties I face. Whenever I meet hard problems, I will read useful farming books and collect related information in my spare time. If I keep studying hard step by step, I believe my dream will surely come true one day. 中档范文（79词，17‑20 分） The dream in my heart I am patient and hard‑working.

I have much homework to do every day, so I sometimes feel stressed from my school lessons. I doubt if I can make my dream real one day. But I will not give up easily. Whenever I am free after finishing my school tasks, I learn practical knowledge about farming from books and online videos. If I study hard all the time, my dream can come true in the near future. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
