She is known as the “Embroidery Master” because she has kept the tradition of Miao embroidery for over 40 years. Li started learning embroidery from her mother at the age of 8. She still remembers they made colorful pictures of flowers and birds on their clothes together. At that time, every girl in the village had to learn this skill. However, as modern life came to the village, fewer young people wanted to learn embroidery. They went to big cities to find better jobs. Li felt sad. She was afraid that this beautiful art would disappear. So she decided to open a free training class for the villagers. She also invited some young designers to work with her. Together, they created new patterns（图样） that mixed traditional skills with modern fashion. Now, Li’s embroidery products are sold online and even to other countries. Many young people have returned to the village to learn from her. “I want to pass this skill to the next generation,” Li said. “It is not just about making money, it is about keeping our culture alive.”、/ 16.

Many students have argued about this. Recent studies show that the answer depends on your “chronotype (睡眠类型)” —whether you are a “lark (百灵鸟)” (early riser) or an “owl (猫头鹰)” (night person). Larks feel most energetic in the morning. Their brains work best between 8 a.m. and 12 p.m. For them, studying in the morning is highly efficient. They can focus better and remember information faster. However, as the day goes on, their energy drops. By 9 p.m., they may feel too tired to study effectively. Owls, on the other hand, are slow starters. They may have difficulty getting up in the morning, and feel sleepy until noon. But they have the most energy in the evening. From 7 p.m. to 11 p.m., they are more focused. Many famous writers and scientists, like Winston Churchill, were owls who did their best work at night. However, experts warn that night studying should not cut into sleep time. Lack of sleep can harm memory and health. Dr. Li, a sleep expert, suggests, “Find your own rhythm. If you are a lark, don’t force yourself to study at midnight. If you are an owl, don’t get up at 5 a.m. to study. Quality sleep is the foundation of good learning.” Schools are starting to consider this. Some schools in Denmark have introduced flexible (灵活的) timetable, allowing students to choose their start times based on their chronotypes. This has led to better grades and happier students. 21. What decides whether one studies better in the morning or at night? A. Personal habit. B. School schedule. C. Chronotype. D. Health condition. 22. According to the text, when do “owls” perform best in studying? A. 8 a.m. - 12 p.m. B. 12 p.m. - 3 p.m. C. 7 p.m. - 11 p.m. D. 11 p.m. - 2 a.m. 23. What can we infer about Winston Churchill? A. He was a famous teacher. B. He preferred studying at night. C. He slept early and got up late. D. He disliked flexible schedules. 24. What does Dr. Li think of night studying? A. It is OK if it suits one’s sleep rhythm. B. It is bad because it may make students tired. C. It is not helpful for learning. D. He is not sure about it. 25. What is the main idea of the text? A. How to become an early riser. B. The importance of quality sleep. C. Studying efficiency depends on your chronotype. D. Why schools should change their schedules. 三、任务型完形填空（共 10 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 15 分） 阅读下面的短文，用方框中所给单词的适当形式填空，使文意通顺，结构正确。（每个单词限用一次） between, great, he, science, influence, different, education, although, first, support Have you known about Yang Zhenning?

It helps you use your time efficiently and achieve better grades. Here is how you can make a great one. First, set clear goals. Do not just say “I will study hard.” Instead, write down specific goals, such as “I will memorize 20 new English words every day.” Breaking big goals into small tasks makes them easier to finish. Second, arrange your time wisely. You should study the most difficult subject when you are most energetic. For example, many students find that they can focus better in the morning, so they do their math problems then. Also, do not spend too much time ▲ just one subject. Third, remember to take short breaks. Studying for 45 to 50 minutes and then taking a 5-10 minute break helps your brain rest. You can walk around or drink some water during the break. Finally, check your progress regularly. At the end of each week, look back at what you have learned. If something is not working, change your plan. A good plan is not fixed; it should be flexible (灵活的). 36. Why is it important for Grade 9 students to have a good study plan? _____________________________________________________________ 37. What should you do first when making a study plan? _____________________________________________________________ 38. 请结合文意，在文中 ▲ 处填入适当的词，使句意通顺、连贯。 _____________________________________________________________ 39. 请将文中划线句子翻译成汉语。 _____________________________________________________________ 40. Do you think taking short breaks is helpful for your study? What will you do during a short break? _____________________________________________________________ 五、词汇考查（共 10 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 10 分） 41.
