Just then five bodies appeared at my desk, a pale woman and four children. “Are you all sick?” I asked. “Yes,” she said weakly and lowered her head. But when they began 2 their problems, things got a little strange. They all said that they had headaches, but the headaches weren’t accompanied (伴随) by the normal body language of holding the head or trying to keep it still. 3 was wrong.

The waiting room was warm. I went back to the nurses’ station and mentioned we had a homeless family in the waiting room. The nurses who were complaining about working on Christmas turned to feel sorry for the family. The team went into action, just as what we do when there’s a 6 emergency. But this was a Christmas emergency. We were all 7 a free meal on Christmas Day, so we took back that meal and prepared a big dinner for our guests. We needed presents. From different departments (部门) , we collected candies, fruits and other things that could be presents. As seriously as we met the physical needs of the patients, our team worked to meet the needs of a family who just wanted to be 8 on Christmas. 9 , as the family walked to the door to leave, the mother ran back, gave me a hug (拥抱) and said in a low voice, “ 10 being our angels today.” Tears ran down from my eyes.

They often say “I am too shy to take part in public activities” or “I’m not creative, so I can never come up with new ideas”. However, recent studies tell us that our personalities can 1 little by little as we grow. Lucy used to be a quiet girl. She was well-organized in her schoolwork but dared not 2 the lead in group discussions. Afraid of making mistakes, she never 3 her opinions in front of classmates. Some classmates thought she was passive and even 4 of confidence. This made her upset. One day, her teacher advised her not to 5 herself in a simple label. “Personality is not something you are born with and cannot change. You can choose to step out of your comfort zone,” the teacher said. Lucy 6 the advice. She decided to speak at least once in every group task. At first, her voice shook. Slowly, she became more 7 . She found that she could share useful ideas if she tried. She also learned to be more 8 —instead of getting angry quickly when disagreements appeared, she would listen patiently.

When finishing, Legree weighed it, and there was whipping (抽打) for the slaves that didn’t pick enough cotton. Tom learnt to pick cotton quickly. One day a new beautiful woman, Cassy, arrived to pick cotton. Tom noticed that she was very fast. He also noticed that an older slave, Martha, was in pain. She was slow, and her sack was almost empty. Tom went near Martha and silently put a lot of his cotton into her sack. “No, don’t!” said the new woman. “They will punish you.” Just then Sambo arrived. “What’s happening?” he said and he kicked Martha and whipped Tom across his face. The blood was running from his face. “Work faster!” But when he left, Tom quickly gave her some more of his cotton. Suddenly, the new woman put much cotton in Tom’s sack. “Tom is going to make much trouble. He kept putting cotton into Martha’s sack,” Sambo told Legree. “Then we’ll have to teach him a lesson,” said Legree. Slowly the tired slaves came into the room for the weighing of the sacks. First Legree weighed Tom’s sack, and it was enough. Martha’s sack was next. The weight was enough, but Legree shouted at her. “You’re so lazy! This is not enough! Stay here and wait.” He finished weighing all the other sacks, and then turned to Tom. “Come here,” said Legree. “I want to give you a better job than picking cotton, and you can start tonight: take this woman and whip her—you know how.” “I’m sorry, Master,” said Tom. “I can’t do it.” Legree whipped Tom across his face and then hit him with his hands many times. “There!” he said. “Now will you tell me you can’t do it?” “Yes, Master,” said Tom, with blood running down his face. “I will work night and day, but I will never whip another person. ” “I bought you, and you’re mine, body and soul (灵魂),” Legree said, kicking Tom. “My soul isn’t yours, Master! You can’t buy it!” “We’ll see,” said Legree. “Sambo, Quimbo, give him a lesson. ” —Taken from Uncle Tom’s Cabin 1．Why did the new woman put much cotton in Tom’s sack? A．Because she already had enough cotton. B．Because Tom asked her to do that. C．Because she picked cotton more quickly than Tom. D．Because she didn’t want Tom to be punished again. 2．Which of the following best describes Tom in the passage? A．Clever. B．Kind-hearted. C．Selfish.

A．They could talk with masters freely. B．They always felt hungry when working. C．They were treated badly without equal rights. D．They lived a hard but happy life. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文选自《汤姆叔叔的小屋》，讲述了奴隶汤姆在种植园帮助同伴并拒绝服从主人无理命令的故事，展现了奴隶制度的残酷性及汤姆善良坚定的品质。 1．根据文章第三段“‘No, don’t!’ said the new woman. ‘They will punish you.’”以及第四段“Suddenly, the new woman put much cotton in Tom’s sack.”可知，新来的女人看到汤姆因帮助他人而面临受罚风险，为了不让汤姆再次受罚，所以把棉花放入他的麻袋。 2．根据文章第二段“Tom went near Martha, and silently put a lot of his cotton into her sack.”以及倒数第三段“I will work night and day, but I will never whip another person.”可知，汤姆宁愿自己受累受罚也要帮助他人，且拒绝伤害他人，说明他心地善良。 3．根据文章倒数第五段“I can’t do it.”以及倒数第三段“Yes, Master... I will never whip another person.”可知，汤姆分别在拒绝鞭打女人和被打后再次表明立场时，两次反驳了Legree的命令。 4．根据文章第一段“there was whipping (抽打) for the slaves that didn’t pick enough cotton.”以及倒数第二段“I bought you, and you’re mine, body and soul”可知，奴隶们因工作不足会被鞭打，被视为主人的私有财产，生活悲惨且没有平等权利。 （25-26九年级上·江苏苏州·期中）Most people follow others blindly. Some people feel it is safe to follow other people. In some rare cases, it might be right, but in most cases, this can lead to a big mistake. Ninety-five percent of people never succeed because they are following the wrong group. Actually, there are reasons why we shouldn’t follow others blindly. According to a study, people always follow others when they aren’t sure about the direction they should take. This means a large number of people could be following others without understanding what’s right and what’s wrong! This attracts more people to follow them and the result is that most people move in a certain direction even if it is wrong. A man who wants to be successful always hopes for guidance from others and he usually follows the same path as most people, but the question this man never asks himself is, “Are all of those people successful?” Of course not! If you want to follow a group, then follow a successful one. However, in real life you’ll only find one successful person among hundreds of people, and that’s why following others makes no sense at all. Most people act without thinking wisely. If you always follow others because they’re greater than you, then sooner or later you’ll discover that you’re making decisions you might regret (后悔) later. However, should we never follow others? No. But just think wisely before you make a decision. If you find others are right, there is no problem in following them, but if you doubt the direction they’re moving in, don’t follow them blindly. 1．Why do most people like to follow others blindly according to the passage? A．Because they don’t want to be different. B．Because they are affected by the people around them. C．Because they’re sure to take the right direction. D．Because they want to make themselves successful 2．What does the underlined word “rare” in Paragraph 1 mean in Chinese? A．多数的 B．特殊的 C．稀有的 D．普遍的 3．What’s the best structure (结构) of the passage? ①=Paragraph 1, ②=Paragraph 2, ③=Paragraph 3, ④=Paragraph 4, ⑤=Paragraph 5 A． B． C． D． 4．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．Advantages of following others. B．Examples of following others. C．Reasons for not following others blindly. D．Disadvantages of following others. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，围绕“不应盲目跟随他人”展开论述，分析了人们盲目跟风的原因与弊端，最后指出需理性判断方向，不可盲目从众。 1．根据文章第二段“people always follow others when they aren’t sure about the direction they should take. This means a large number of people could be following others without understanding what’s right and what’s wrong! This attracts more people to follow them”可知，人们不确定方向时会跟随他人，这种现象又会吸引更多人加入，说明大多数人盲目跟风是受周围人的影响。 2．根据文章第一段“In some rare cases it might be right, but in most cases this can make a big mistake”可知，前后句为转折关系，后半句表明大多数情况下盲目跟风会犯错，因此前半句指在一些少见、稀有的情况下跟风是正确的，rare意为“稀有的”。 3．根据文章第一段“Actually, there are reasons why we shouldn’t follow others blindly”、第二段“According to a study, people always follow others when they aren’t sure about the direction they should take”、第三段“A man who wants to be successful always hopes for guidance from others and he usually follows the same path of most people”、第四段“Most people act without thinking wisely”、第五段“However, should we never follow others? No. But just think wisely before you make a decision”可推知，第一段提出总论点，第二至四段分述不应盲目跟风的原因，第五段总结并给出理性跟随的建议，整体为“总-分-总”结构，对应选项D的图示。 4．根据文章第一段“Actually, there are reasons why we shouldn’t follow others blindly”及全文内容可推知，文章核心围绕“不应盲目跟随他人的原因”展开，从多个角度分析论证，最后总结给出合理建议。 （25-26九年级上·江苏苏州·期中）Everyone has worries.

Once you have a list of things you could do, you can choose one thing that could get your friend back.   You can ask for help when you’re worried.

I am sure the college you attended when you were a boy wasn’t so nice.   My room is up in a tower that used to be the ward (病房) before the new hospital was built. There are three other girls on the same floor of the tower—an older girl who wears glasses and is always asking us to be a little quieter, and two new students named Sallie and Julia. Sallie has red hair and a turned-up nose and is quite friendly; Julia comes from one of the first families in New York and hasn’t known me yet.   Sallie and Julia live in one room. The older girl and I have single rooms. Usually new students can’t get this kind of room. They are very rare, but I got one without even asking. I suppose the registrar (教务主任) didn’t think it would be right to ask a well-raised child like the older girl to share a room with a foundling (弃婴). You see, there are advantages!   The room with the name “Jerusha Abbott” on the door is mine. It is on the north-west corner with two windows and a view. After I have lived in a ward for eighteen years with twenty roommates, it is quiet and calm for me to be alone. I think I’m going to like the life here. 1．From the first paragraph, we know that the college is ________. A．the same as the John Grier Home B．a great place for the writer to stay C．a place where the writer wants to leave D．a wonderful place only for boys 2．Which of the following is the right order according to the story?   ① I moved into a single room in the tower.   ② Jerusha Abbott felt so happy and excited that she could hardly sleep.   ③ I became neighbours with three other girls on my floor.   ④ Jerusha Abbott lived in a ward with twenty roommates for eighteen years. A．①④③② B．②③①④ C．④②①③ D．④①③② 3．What does the underlined word “They” in the third paragraph refer to? A．New students. B．Single rooms. C．The registrars. D．Younger girls. 4．What can we infer (推测) from the passage? A．The writer used to be a foundling. B．The writer has never lived in a ward. C．The older girl comes from a poor family. D．Jerusha Abbott is one of the writer’s friends. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了Jerusha Abbott向资助人描述了她进入大学后的新生活，表达了对大学环境、单人宿舍以及新生活的喜爱和兴奋之情，同时也透露了她对自己孤儿身份的认知。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“I love college…I’m very, very happy…You can’t imagine how different it is from the John Grier Home.”可知，作者非常热爱大学生活，甚至高兴得睡不着觉，这对她来说是一个很好的地方。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“After I have lived in a ward for eighteen years”可知，作者过去在病房住了18年，这是故事背景；根据“I love college…I’m very, very happy” 可知，作者来到大学后感到非常快乐和兴奋；根据“My room is up in a tower”以及“The older girl and I have single rooms”可知，作者随后描述了自己住进了塔楼的单人房；根据“There are three other girls on the same floor”可知，她因此与同楼层的其他女孩成为了邻居。故正确顺序为④-②-①-③。故选C。 3．词句猜测题。根据“The older girl and I have single rooms. Usually new students can’t get this kind of room. They are very rare, but I got one without even asking.”可知，通常新生无法申请到这种房间（指单人房），它们非常稀有。因此“They”指代的是上文提到的“Single rooms”。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据“I suppose the registrar (教务主任) didn’t think it would be right to ask a well-raised child like the older girl to share a room with a foundling (弃婴).”可知，作者认为教务主任是为了避免让家教好的女孩和弃婴同住才给她分配了单间，此处“foundling”指代作者自己；且根据“The room with the name ‘Jerusha Abbott’ on the door is mine.”可知，此处确认作者就是Jerusha Abbott。故可推断作者曾经是一名弃婴。故选A。 （25-26九年级上·江苏苏州·期中）Having a teenager at home can be a real headache. Many teenagers smoke, wear strange hairstyles and even fight. Basically, they are often taking risks. Earlier studies have shown that teenagers are more likely to make irrational decisions than people from any other age group, including children and adults. Is it that teenagers are too young to tell right from wrong?   Not really. So what’s the reason? According to Laurence, a teacher from a US university, the reason is that teenagers care a lot about how their peers (同龄人) view them—that is “peer influence”. As children enter their teenage years, they spend more time with their friends and classmates, and they also care more about what they think of them.   This makes teenagers make decisions without thinking about the costs. In a test, a group of teenagers were asked to play a video driving game. When they played with their friends watching around them, they took more chances and drove more carelessly because that would increase their possibility of winning. But when they played alone, they drove more safely.   Why do peers have such a big influence on teens’ behavior? As Laurence sees it, a teenager’s brain is like a car with a good accelerator (油门) but a weak brake (刹车). The “accelerator” is fully developed by teenage years, while the “brake” is still not fully developed. When teenagers are watched by their peers, they usually push hard on the accelerator. With their weak brake, it is likely that they are going to end up in an accident. But the good news is that a violent (暴力的) teenager doesn't necessarily become a violent adult. About two-thirds to three-quarters of violent youth grow out of it. “They get more self-controlled.” 1．What does the underlined word “irrational” in the first paragraph mean? A．Quick. B．Crazy. C．Careful. D．Correct. 2．Why are teenagers often taking risks according to the text? A．They like difficult tasks. B．They care about costs. C．They are too young to tell right from wrong. D．They care a lot about what their peers think of them. 3．According to the text, with peers around them, teenagers tend to (倾向于) . A．use more self-control B．focus more on short-term benefits C．perform better than when they are alone D．become more careful about what they do 4．What can we learn from the text? A．Peer influence is bad for teenagers. B．Teenagers are easy to have traffic accidents. C．Most of the teenagers become less violent when they grow up. D．Teenagers shouldn't spend all the free time with their friends. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要从心理学和神经科学的角度分析了青少年为何更容易做出冒险行为，指出同龄人的影响和大脑发育的不平衡是主要原因，并给出了积极的展望。 1．词句猜测题。根据“Many teenagers smoke, wear strange hairstyles and even fight. Basically, they are often taking risks.”以及后文将青少年与儿童、成年人的决策进行对比，可推知“irrational”在此指“疯狂的、不理智的”。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“…the reason is that teenagers care a lot about how their peers view them—that is ‘peer influence’.”可推知，青少年冒险是因为在意同伴的看法。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据“When they played with their friends watching around them, they took more chances and drove more carelessly because that would increase their possibility of winning.”可推知，青少年在同伴面前更关注短期利益 (如游戏获胜) 。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据“About two-thirds to three-quarters of violent youth grow out of it. ‘They get more self-controlled.’”可推知，大多数青少年长大后暴力行为会减少。故选C。 （26-27九年级上·江苏苏州·阶段检测）Have you ever lost yourself in doing something so that you forget the time? Everything around you—from the ringing of phones to the people passing by—seems to be away. Most of us have had this experience at one time or another. This special state (状态) of mind is called “flow”. When it happens, we completely pay attention to what we are doing. We feel energetic, even excited about what we are doing. For example, when you are drawing, you might forget to eat dinner because you lose yourself in it. ① The idea of flow was introduced and first studied by psychologist (心理学家) Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. According to his discovery, whether flow happens depends on the difficulty of the challenge and our skill levels. For example, if the task is not very challenging and doesn’t require a lot of skills, we probably feel bored towards it. But facing a challenging task without the required skills could easily cause worry. He finally drew the conclusion that when the challenge is high and we believe we have enough skills, flow happens. ② What advantages does flow bring? During flow, people can work faster and better. For example, artists said that they could produce more works easily “without putting in much effort” in the flow state. Flow can also make people more curious and creative because they have to look for new challenges and information to keep the state. ③ Flow often happens during creative activities and sports activities. But flow states aren’t just something experienced by artists, writers or sports persons. Flow can happen anytime a person is deeply lost in a task, including during learning activities. Many people want to achieve flow more often in their daily lives. While doing a task, having clear plans, adding something challenging and giving and receiving feedback (反馈) in time can help achieve flow. It’s more difficult to achieve flow if people’s attention is distracted (分散), so it’s necessary that smartphones, TV and other distractions get turned off. ④ 1．When people are in flow, they CAN’T ________. A．forget the time B．hear the ringing of phones C．give full attention to their tasks D．feel excited about what they do 2．According to Csikszentmihalyi’s study, which diagram (示意图) shows the flow state? A． B． C． D． 3．Where can the sentence “With flow, people have greater levels of happiness and satisfaction in their activities.” be put in the passage? A．① B．② C．③ D．④ 4．Who can most probably achieve flow according to the passage? A．A runner who wants to win the first prize in an important race. B．An artist who is drawing an apple for his 10-year-old daughter. C．A chess player who doesn’t know what to do before competition. D．A student who is taking an exam when having a headache. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是说明文，介绍了“心流（flow）”这一特殊心理状态，涵盖其定义、产生条件、带来的益处以及实现心流的相关方法。 1．根据文章第1段“Everything around you—from the ringing of phones to the people passing by—seems to be away.”以及第2段“When it happens, we completely pay attention to what we are doing. We feel energetic, even excited about what we are doing.”可知，心流状态下人们会忘记时间、全神贯注于任务、对所做的事感到兴奋，周围的电话铃声仿佛消失了，即人们听不到电话铃声。 2．根据文章第3段“when the challenge is high and we believe we have enough skills, flow happens.”可知，心流产生的条件是挑战难度高、自身技能水平高。观察示意图，纵轴Challenge（挑战）向上数值越高，横轴Skills（技能）向右数值越高，高挑战+高技能对应右上角的阴影区域，即图A符合心流状态。 3．题干句子意为“在心流状态下，人们在活动中会获得更高水平的幸福感和满足感”，阐述的是心流的益处。文章第4段以“What advantages does flow bring?”开头，围绕心流的好处展开说明，先后介绍了提升工作效率、增强好奇心与创造力两点好处，题干句子是对心流益处的补充，适合放在第4段末尾的③处。 4．根据文章第3段“when the challenge is high and we believe we have enough skills, flow happens.”可知，心流的产生需要同时满足高挑战、自身有足够技能的条件。参加重要比赛并想要夺冠的跑步者，面临的挑战难度高，且作为跑步者具备相应的技能水平，符合心流产生的条件，最有可能达到心流状态。 （26-27九年级上·江苏苏州·阶段检测）Have you ever walked around with your hands in your pockets just to look “cool”? Have you ever imagined being “the chosen one”—someone with a secret plan, hidden pain, or thoughts beyond one’s age? If so, you are not alone! Looking back on my middle school days, I still remember how silly I was. I wanted people to notice me, but I also acted as if I didn’t care. I walked around in my oversized T-shirts and baggy jeans because I thought they made me look cooler. I didn’t want to do anything “mainstream” just to show I was different from others. For example, if everyone liked a song, I’d say proudly, “I am the only one who dislikes it!” This kind of teen behaviour is quite common. Many teenagers around 13 or 14 start believing that being “normal” is too boring. They want to be different from everyone else. What’s more, they want to be the centre of attention, and they often care a lot about how others think of them. Yes, I find my 14-year-old self funny. But as a father now, I understand how painful it can be to become a teenager. You are no longer a kid, but not an adult, either. You feel unsure, but you also want to look confident. Although your behaviour can seem silly, it is just a natural part of growing up—a time when you explore who you are and who you want to be. So, next time you look back and feel a bit silly about your past behaviour, don’t be too hard on yourself. There is nothing wrong with you! It is just part of growing up. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By offering advice. B．By asking questions. C．By comparing facts. D．By sharing experiences. 2．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “mainstream” in Paragraph 2? A．Usual. B．Cool. C．Different. D．Strange. 3．What are many teenagers likely to do according to Paragraph 3? A．Copy others’ behaviour. B．Understand others’ pains. C．Dislike others’ attention. D．Care about others’ thoughts. 4．Which of the following opinions does the writer agree with? A．Teenagers shouldn’t look back on the past. B．Teenagers shouldn’t be different from others. C．It’s easy for teenagers to understand themselves. D．It’s part of growing up for teenagers to behave in a silly way. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，文章结合作者自身经历，探讨青少年时期想要与众不同、在意他人看法的心理，指出看似愚蠢的行为其实是成长的自然部分，建议青少年不要苛责自己。 1．根据文章第一段“Have you ever walked around with your hands in your pockets just to look ‘cool’? Have you ever imagined being ‘the chosen one’...”可知，作者通过连续两个疑问句开启全文，引发读者思考。 2．根据文章第二段“I didn’t want to do anything ‘mainstream’ just to show I was different from others.”可知，画线单词与different意思相反，意为“普通的、常规的”，与Usual同义。 3．根据文章第三段“they often care a lot about how others think of them”可知，许多青少年非常在意别人对他们的看法。 4．根据文章第四段“Although your behaviour can seem silly, it is just a natural part of growing up”及第五段“It is just part of growing up.”可知，作者认为青少年表现出看似愚蠢的行为是成长过程中的一部分。 （26-27九年级上·江苏苏州·阶段检测）When Wang Hong accepted the Fields Medal (菲尔兹奖), one of the highest honors in math, in July 2026, many people in China felt proud. Wang grew up in Pingle County, Guangxi. At the age of four, her arm was badly hurt by boiling water. For many years, her parents took her from one hospital to another. Because her skin was very sensitive (敏感的) to light, she spent a lot of time inside the house. This hard experience did not close her world. Instead, it helped her learn how to be alone, how to read by herself, and how to silence the noise around. Her father, a math teacher, opened the door to numbers for her. Her mother, an English teacher, helped her fall in love with language. Wang later said that math was one way for her to understand the world. As a child, she was happy when she solved a problem about seven points on a flat surface. Her parents did not force her to follow a fixed path. They gave her freedom, which became an important kind of support. At Peking University, Wang did not first get into the math school she wanted. Surrounded by classmates who had years of competition training, she began to doubt herself. Still, she could not give up math. She worked hard enough to move into the School of Mathematical Sciences. Later, in Paris and at MIT, she still wondered if she was only good at exercises or if she could really do research. She even stopped math for a while and tried art and architecture (建筑). In the end, she came back. Years of doubt (怀疑), wrong turns, and trying again did not push her away from the problem. They helped her come back to it with a quieter and stronger mind. Her advice to students was simple: if you get something in the end, it does not matter if you are faster or slower. Do not rush. Take your time. 1．What do we know about Wang Hong when she was little? A．She was hurt in a fire when she was four. B．She had to stay indoors because of her skin condition. C．Her parents sent her to one single hospital for treatment. D．She was weak in her studies because she became sensitive after the accident. 2．What can we know about the freedom Wang’s parents gave her? A．It protected her from every problem outside the family. B．It was mostly shown by sending her to the best-known schools. C．It let her interests grow without a plan forced on her. D．It worked because both parents taught the same subject at school. 3．What role does Paragraph 4 play in the passage? A．It describes the doubts and wrong turns Wang experienced during her studies. B．It compares the training systems of Peking University, Paris, and MIT. C．It explains why Wang finally chose architecture before going back to math. D．It proves that competition experience is the safest way to research. 4．What is the main message we can get from Wang Hong’s story? A．A hard childhood usually makes people less afraid of being famous. B．Winning a top prize is the clearest proof of a person’s value. C．Learning ahead is more important than learning with other people. D．A slow search can still lead somewhere if one keeps coming back to the real question. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了2026年菲尔兹奖得主王虹的成长故事，涵盖童年意外、家庭支持、求学波折及最终感悟，旨在传达坚持与慢成长的意义。 1．根据第二段“Because her skin was very sensitive (敏感的) to light, she spent a lot of time inside the house.”可知，她因皮肤状况需要待在室内。 2．根据第三段“Her parents did not force her to follow a fixed path. They gave her freedom, which became an important kind of support.”可知，父母给予的自由是不强迫她走固定路径，让兴趣自然生长。 3．根据最后一段“Years of doubt (怀疑), wrong turns, and trying again did not push her away from the problem.”可知，第四段描述的怀疑和弯路是为后文得出她心态更坚定的结论提供事实依据，展示了成功前的曲折过程。 4．本文主要讲述了王虹经历怀疑后回归数学的故事，结合最后一段“Do not rush. Take your time.”可知，只要坚持回归真实问题，缓慢的探索也能成功。 （25-26九年级上·江苏苏州·期中）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 We never get our childhood back once we’re adults!

You are free to choose what you want to do. Make full use of services that match your values. 5 You can easily get used to selfless giving. When you give, make sure to keep your own needs in mind.

As you grow older, there will be certain events that will mark your growth. Graduating from high school and getting your first job are just a few of these. What are some other ways in which we mark our journey toward adulthood? In the US, getting your driver’s license (执照) at the age of 16 is seen as a major coming-of-age (成人) ritual (仪式). But not every teenager gets a car right away. Usually, their parents will buy a second-hand car for them as their first car. Another big coming-of-age event is the prom (毕业舞会). Teenagers wear fancy clothing, ask each other to dance and vote (投票) for a prom “king” and “queen”. For many teenagers, prom is the biggest social event of the year. It’s a time for them to dress and act like an adult. And there’s still more. At the age of 18, we can vote in the US and at 21, we can drink alcohol (酒). This is also the time when most children move out of their parents’ home for college or work. It is around this age that society starts to consider us to be adults. But what does it really mean to be an adult? Psychologist Jeffrey Arnett surveyed young adults and found three common adulthood goals: managing yourself, supporting yourself, and making decisions by yourself. I agree with Arnett. Being an adult has more to do with one’s maturity (成熟). If you want to drive, vote, drink, leave home or even start a romantic relationship, you have to make sure that you’re ready to be responsible. 1．What do parents usually buy for their kids as their first car? 2．What does it mean to be an adult according to the passage? Give one example. 3．Which one do you prefer, to be a child or an adult? Why? 【答案】1．They usually buy a second-hand car for their kids as their first car. 2．According to the passage, being an adult involves goals like managing yourself, supporting yourself, or making decisions by yourself. For example, if I want to get a driver’s license, I need to manage my driving behavior responsibly. 3．I prefer to be an adult. Because I can make my own decisions. 【导语】本文主要探讨了在美国成长的标志，并引用心理学家的观点，阐述了成年的真正含义在于自我管理、自我支持、独立决策以及承担责任。 1．根据“Usually, their parents will buy a second-hand car for them as their first car.”可知，父母通常会买一辆二手车作为孩子们的第一辆车。故填They usually buy a second-hand car for their kids as their first car. 2．根据“Psychologist Jeffrey Arnett surveyed young adults and found three common adulthood goals: managing yourself, supporting yourself, and making decisions by yourself.”以及“If you want to drive…you have to make sure that you’re ready to be responsible.”可知，文中指出成年的目标包括自我管理、自我支持和独立决策，并以开车为例，强调了这就意味着必须确保自己准备好承担责任。故填According to the passage, being an adult involves goals like managing yourself, supporting yourself, or making decisions by yourself. For example, if I want to get a driver’s license, I need to manage my driving behavior responsibly. 3．本题为开放性试题。根据个人意愿回答并给出合理理由。例如：倾向于做成年人，因为可以独立。故填I prefer to be an adult. Because I can make my own decisions. （25-26九年级上·江苏苏州·期中）Growing up in a small community can be a wonderful experience filled with love and support. In places like Um Mao and Soak Maew in Nakhon Phanom province, families come together to care for their children, creating a warm and caring environment like a big family. When schools reopened after the long holidays, many children had difficulty getting back to in-person learning. They spent hours on their smartphones, even after finishing their schoolwork. This heavy screen time was affecting their ability to focus and learn in the classroom. Teachers like Aomam, Nice and Pimpam saw this challenge and decided to take action. They worked together to create a special one-day learning recovery (学习恢复) activity that would inspire the children’s enthusiasm (热情) for learning. By bringing in things from their community and inviting local talents to take part, they designed a day filled with fun activities like music, language, sports, and crafts. Through this movement, the teachers hoped to not only include the children but also promote teamwork and develop a deeper connection with nature and science in the community. They understood that the key to success lay in involving (使参与) the children and getting the support of their parents. By encouraging the children to embrace (拥抱) new experiences and setting limits on screen time at home, they hoped to guide the children back to a more balanced and colorful way of life. In the end, the learning recovery activity was a success, showing that with creativity, community involvement, and a focus on holistic education (全人教育), children can find the joy of learning and exploring the world around them. 1．Why did many students find it difficult to return to in-person learning after the holidays?   2．What was the “key to success” in organizing the activity, according to the teachers? 3．Would you like to take part in a one-day learning recovery activity organized by your teachers? Why or why not? 【答案】1．Because they spent too much time on their smartphones during the holidays and it affected their focus in class. 2．The key to success was involving the children and getting the support of their parents. 3． Yes, because it can help me reduce screen time and learn in a fun way./No, because I think I can manage my time better myself.

We may meet difficulties and feel lost on the way. I’d like to share one of my experiences. Last term, I was weak in English listening and kept getting low marks in listening exams. Gradually, I lost confidence and even thought about giving up improving my English. Luckily, my English teacher encouraged me and offered some useful advice. I began to practise listening for half an hour daily and wrote down useful expressions. Whenever I made mistakes, I reviewed them carefully. Months later, I got a satisfying score in the final listening test. This experience teaches me that challenges are part of growth.

Many great people in the world love fighting for excellence. One of them is the famous biologist — Tong Dizhou, the father of China’s clone (克隆). Tong came from a poor family in Zhejiang Province and didn’t go to high school until 17. So he became the oldest student in the class. What was worse, he faced the 3 of being not allowed to continue his study because he couldn’t catch up with others. 4 , he didn’t give up. He studied hard and managed to take the lead among his classmates. 5 , he graduated with the highest grade. Tong is honored and 6 for the outstanding achievement of cross-species cloning in fish. In 1963, Tong produced the world’s first cloned fish. Ten years later, Tong 7 the first cross-species cloned fish. In the whole process, challenges and failures didn’t prevent him. Thanks to his pioneering research, Chinese scientists developed fish-breeding skills. Now China produces more than half of the world’s aquaculture (水产养殖) harvest. Should we “aim for the moon” or 8 fix our eyes on easy goals? Tong’s story provides a valuable 9 . It tells us that fighting for excellence in spite of failures can lead us to great success.

They often say “I am too shy to take part in public activities” or “I’m not creative, so I can never come up with new ideas”. However, recent studies tell us that our personalities can 1 little by little as we grow. Lucy used to be a quiet girl. She was well-organized in her schoolwork but dared not 2 the lead in group discussions. Afraid of making mistakes, she never 3 her opinions in front of classmates. Some classmates thought she was passive and even 4 of confidence. This made her upset. One day, her teacher advised her not to 5 herself in a simple label. “Personality is not something you are born with and cannot change. You can choose to step out of your comfort zone,” the teacher said. Lucy 6 the advice. She decided to speak at least once in every group task. At first, her voice shook. Slowly, she became more 7 .

When finishing, Legree weighed it, and there was whipping (抽打) for the slaves that didn’t pick enough cotton. Tom learnt to pick cotton quickly. One day a new beautiful woman, Cassy, arrived to pick cotton. Tom noticed that she was very fast. He also noticed that an older slave, Martha, was in pain. She was slow, and her sack was almost empty. Tom went near Martha and silently put a lot of his cotton into her sack. “No, don’t!” said the new woman. “They will punish you.” Just then Sambo arrived. “What’s happening?” he said and he kicked Martha and whipped Tom across his face. The blood was running from his face. “Work faster!” But when he left, Tom quickly gave her some more of his cotton. Suddenly, the new woman put much cotton in Tom’s sack. “Tom is going to make much trouble. He kept putting cotton into Martha’s sack,” Sambo told Legree. “Then we’ll have to teach him a lesson,” said Legree. Slowly the tired slaves came into the room for the weighing of the sacks. First Legree weighed Tom’s sack, and it was enough. Martha’s sack was next. The weight was enough, but Legree shouted at her. “You’re so lazy! This is not enough! Stay here and wait.” He finished weighing all the other sacks, and then turned to Tom. “Come here,” said Legree. “I want to give you a better job than picking cotton, and you can start tonight: take this woman and whip her—you know how.” “I’m sorry, Master,” said Tom. “I can’t do it.” Legree whipped Tom across his face and then hit him with his hands many times. “There!” he said. “Now will you tell me you can’t do it?” “Yes, Master,” said Tom, with blood running down his face. “I will work night and day, but I will never whip another person. ” “I bought you, and you’re mine, body and soul (灵魂),” Legree said, kicking Tom. “My soul isn’t yours, Master! You can’t buy it!” “We’ll see,” said Legree. “Sambo, Quimbo, give him a lesson. ” —Taken from Uncle Tom’s Cabin 1．Why did the new woman put much cotton in Tom’s sack?

In some rare cases, it might be right, but in most cases, this can lead to a big mistake. Ninety-five percent of people never succeed because they are following the wrong group. Actually, there are reasons why we shouldn’t follow others blindly. According to a study, people always follow others when they aren’t sure about the direction they should take. This means a large number of people could be following others without understanding what’s right and what’s wrong! This attracts more people to follow them and the result is that most people move in a certain direction even if it is wrong. A man who wants to be successful always hopes for guidance from others and he usually follows the same path as most people, but the question this man never asks himself is, “Are all of those people successful?” Of course not! If you want to follow a group, then follow a successful one. However, in real life you’ll only find one successful person among hundreds of people, and that’s why following others makes no sense at all. Most people act without thinking wisely. If you always follow others because they’re greater than you, then sooner or later you’ll discover that you’re making decisions you might regret (后悔) later. However, should we never follow others? No. But just think wisely before you make a decision. If you find others are right, there is no problem in following them, but if you doubt the direction they’re moving in, don’t follow them blindly. 1．Why do most people like to follow others blindly according to the passage? A．Because they don’t want to be different. B．Because they are affected by the people around them. C．Because they’re sure to take the right direction. D．Because they want to make themselves successful 2．What does the underlined word “rare” in Paragraph 1 mean in Chinese?

A．Advantages of following others. B．Examples of following others. C．Reasons for not following others blindly. D．Disadvantages of following others. （25-26九年级上·江苏苏州·期中）Everyone has worries. How do you deal with your worries? There is always something you can do to help yourself feel less worried. Sitting there worrying is no fun and it won’t solve your problems.   Grades at school are often a top worry for children. If you worry most about grades, ask yourself these questions: -Why are grades important? What do grades mean to me?   -How do I get ready for class? Do I go over my notes even when there isn’t a test?   -Do I have a good place to do my homework?   -Have I tried different ways of studying?   If your worry is about a fight you had with your friend, you might write down all the things you could do—write a note to him or her, invite him or her to watch a basketball game, say sorry to him or her and so on. Once you have a list of things you could do, you can choose one thing that could get your friend back.   You can ask for help when you’re worried. Sharing your worries is a sign of strength, not weakness. You can find someone to talk to, such as your parents, friends, and teachers. Just remember that you don’t have to face the difficulties alone. Someone is here for you. 1．What do children often worry most about? A．Their hobbies. B．Their homework. C．Their grades at school.

I’m very, very happy, and so excited every moment of the time that I can hardly sleep. You can’t imagine how different it is from the John Grier Home. I never dreamed there was such a place in the world. I’m feeling sorry for everybody who isn’t a girl and the girls who can’t come here. I am sure the college you attended when you were a boy wasn’t so nice.   My room is up in a tower that used to be the ward (病房) before the new hospital was built. There are three other girls on the same floor of the tower—an older girl who wears glasses and is always asking us to be a little quieter, and two new students named Sallie and Julia. Sallie has red hair and a turned-up nose and is quite friendly; Julia comes from one of the first families in New York and hasn’t known me yet.   Sallie and Julia live in one room. The older girl and I have single rooms. Usually new students can’t get this kind of room. They are very rare, but I got one without even asking. I suppose the registrar (教务主任) didn’t think it would be right to ask a well-raised child like the older girl to share a room with a foundling (弃婴). You see, there are advantages!   The room with the name “Jerusha Abbott” on the door is mine. It is on the north-west corner with two windows and a view. After I have lived in a ward for eighteen years with twenty roommates, it is quiet and calm for me to be alone. I think I’m going to like the life here. 1．From the first paragraph, we know that the college is ________. A．the same as the John Grier Home B．a great place for the writer to stay C．a place where the writer wants to leave D．a wonderful place only for boys 2．Which of the following is the right order according to the story?   ① I moved into a single room in the tower.   ② Jerusha Abbott felt so happy and excited that she could hardly sleep.   ③ I became neighbours with three other girls on my floor.   ④ Jerusha Abbott lived in a ward with twenty roommates for eighteen years. A．①④③② B．②③①④ C．④②①③ D．④①③② 3．What does the underlined word “They” in the third paragraph refer to? A．New students. B．Single rooms. C．The registrars. D．Younger girls. 4．What can we infer (推测) from the passage? A．The writer used to be a foundling. B．The writer has never lived in a ward. C．The older girl comes from a poor family. D．Jerusha Abbott is one of the writer’s friends. （25-26九年级上·江苏苏州·期中）Having a teenager at home can be a real headache. Many teenagers smoke, wear strange hairstyles and even fight. Basically, they are often taking risks. Earlier studies have shown that teenagers are more likely to make irrational decisions than people from any other age group, including children and adults. Is it that teenagers are too young to tell right from wrong?   Not really. So what’s the reason? According to Laurence, a teacher from a US university, the reason is that teenagers care a lot about how their peers (同龄人) view them—that is “peer influence”. As children enter their teenage years, they spend more time with their friends and classmates, and they also care more about what they think of them.   This makes teenagers make decisions without thinking about the costs. In a test, a group of teenagers were asked to play a video driving game. When they played with their friends watching around them, they took more chances and drove more carelessly because that would increase their possibility of winning. But when they played alone, they drove more safely.   Why do peers have such a big influence on teens’ behavior? As Laurence sees it, a teenager’s brain is like a car with a good accelerator (油门) but a weak brake (刹车). The “accelerator” is fully developed by teenage years, while the “brake” is still not fully developed. When teenagers are watched by their peers, they usually push hard on the accelerator. With their weak brake, it is likely that they are going to end up in an accident. But the good news is that a violent (暴力的) teenager doesn't necessarily become a violent adult. About two-thirds to three-quarters of violent youth grow out of it. “They get more self-controlled.” 1．What does the underlined word “irrational” in the first paragraph mean? A．Quick. B．Crazy. C．Careful. D．Correct. 2．Why are teenagers often taking risks according to the text? A．They like difficult tasks. B．They care about costs. C．They are too young to tell right from wrong. D．They care a lot about what their peers think of them. 3．According to the text, with peers around them, teenagers tend to (倾向于) . A．use more self-control B．focus more on short-term benefits C．perform better than when they are alone D．become more careful about what they do 4．What can we learn from the text? A．Peer influence is bad for teenagers. B．Teenagers are easy to have traffic accidents. C．Most of the teenagers become less violent when they grow up. D．Teenagers shouldn't spend all the free time with their friends. （26-27九年级上·江苏苏州·阶段检测）Have you ever lost yourself in doing something so that you forget the time? Everything around you—from the ringing of phones to the people passing by—seems to be away. Most of us have had this experience at one time or another. This special state (状态) of mind is called “flow”. When it happens, we completely pay attention to what we are doing. We feel energetic, even excited about what we are doing. For example, when you are drawing, you might forget to eat dinner because you lose yourself in it. ① The idea of flow was introduced and first studied by psychologist (心理学家) Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. According to his discovery, whether flow happens depends on the difficulty of the challenge and our skill levels. For example, if the task is not very challenging and doesn’t require a lot of skills, we probably feel bored towards it. But facing a challenging task without the required skills could easily cause worry. He finally drew the conclusion that when the challenge is high and we believe we have enough skills, flow happens. ② What advantages does flow bring? During flow, people can work faster and better. For example, artists said that they could produce more works easily “without putting in much effort” in the flow state. Flow can also make people more curious and creative because they have to look for new challenges and information to keep the state. ③ Flow often happens during creative activities and sports activities. But flow states aren’t just something experienced by artists, writers or sports persons. Flow can happen anytime a person is deeply lost in a task, including during learning activities. Many people want to achieve flow more often in their daily lives. While doing a task, having clear plans, adding something challenging and giving and receiving feedback (反馈) in time can help achieve flow. It’s more difficult to achieve flow if people’s attention is distracted (分散), so it’s necessary that smartphones, TV and other distractions get turned off. ④ 1．When people are in flow, they CAN’T ________. A．forget the time B．hear the ringing of phones C．give full attention to their tasks D．feel excited about what they do 2．According to Csikszentmihalyi’s study, which diagram (示意图) shows the flow state? A． B． C． D． 3．Where can the sentence “With flow, people have greater levels of happiness and satisfaction in their activities.” be put in the passage? A．① B．② C．③ D．④ 4．Who can most probably achieve flow according to the passage? A．A runner who wants to win the first prize in an important race. B．An artist who is drawing an apple for his 10-year-old daughter. C．A chess player who doesn’t know what to do before competition. D．A student who is taking an exam when having a headache. （26-27九年级上·江苏苏州·阶段检测）Have you ever walked around with your hands in your pockets just to look “cool”? Have you ever imagined being “the chosen one”—someone with a secret plan, hidden pain, or thoughts beyond one’s age? If so, you are not alone! Looking back on my middle school days, I still remember how silly I was. I wanted people to notice me, but I also acted as if I didn’t care. I walked around in my oversized T-shirts and baggy jeans because I thought they made me look cooler. I didn’t want to do anything “mainstream” just to show I was different from others. For example, if everyone liked a song, I’d say proudly, “I am the only one who dislikes it!” This kind of teen behaviour is quite common. Many teenagers around 13 or 14 start believing that being “normal” is too boring. They want to be different from everyone else. What’s more, they want to be the centre of attention, and they often care a lot about how others think of them. Yes, I find my 14-year-old self funny. But as a father now, I understand how painful it can be to become a teenager. You are no longer a kid, but not an adult, either. You feel unsure, but you also want to look confident. Although your behaviour can seem silly, it is just a natural part of growing up—a time when you explore who you are and who you want to be. So, next time you look back and feel a bit silly about your past behaviour, don’t be too hard on yourself. There is nothing wrong with you! It is just part of growing up. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By offering advice. B．By asking questions. C．By comparing facts. D．By sharing experiences. 2．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “mainstream” in Paragraph 2? A．Usual. B．Cool. C．Different. D．Strange. 3．What are many teenagers likely to do according to Paragraph 3? A．Copy others’ behaviour. B．Understand others’ pains. C．Dislike others’ attention. D．Care about others’ thoughts. 4．Which of the following opinions does the writer agree with? A．Teenagers shouldn’t look back on the past. B．Teenagers shouldn’t be different from others. C．It’s easy for teenagers to understand themselves. D．It’s part of growing up for teenagers to behave in a silly way. （26-27九年级上·江苏苏州·阶段检测）When Wang Hong accepted the Fields Medal (菲尔兹奖), one of the highest honors in math, in July 2026, many people in China felt proud. Wang grew up in Pingle County, Guangxi. At the age of four, her arm was badly hurt by boiling water. For many years, her parents took her from one hospital to another. Because her skin was very sensitive (敏感的) to light, she spent a lot of time inside the house. This hard experience did not close her world. Instead, it helped her learn how to be alone, how to read by herself, and how to silence the noise around. Her father, a math teacher, opened the door to numbers for her. Her mother, an English teacher, helped her fall in love with language. Wang later said that math was one way for her to understand the world. As a child, she was happy when she solved a problem about seven points on a flat surface. Her parents did not force her to follow a fixed path. They gave her freedom, which became an important kind of support. At Peking University, Wang did not first get into the math school she wanted. Surrounded by classmates who had years of competition training, she began to doubt herself. Still, she could not give up math. She worked hard enough to move into the School of Mathematical Sciences. Later, in Paris and at MIT, she still wondered if she was only good at exercises or if she could really do research. She even stopped math for a while and tried art and architecture (建筑). In the end, she came back. Years of doubt (怀疑), wrong turns, and trying again did not push her away from the problem. They helped her come back to it with a quieter and stronger mind. Her advice to students was simple: if you get something in the end, it does not matter if you are faster or slower. Do not rush. Take your time. 1．What do we know about Wang Hong when she was little? A．She was hurt in a fire when she was four. B．She had to stay indoors because of her skin condition. C．Her parents sent her to one single hospital for treatment. D．She was weak in her studies because she became sensitive after the accident. 2．What can we know about the freedom Wang’s parents gave her? A．It protected her from every problem outside the family. B．It was mostly shown by sending her to the best-known schools. C．It let her interests grow without a plan forced on her. D．It worked because both parents taught the same subject at school. 3．What role does Paragraph 4 play in the passage? A．It describes the doubts and wrong turns Wang experienced during her studies. B．It compares the training systems of Peking University, Paris, and MIT. C．It explains why Wang finally chose architecture before going back to math. D．It proves that competition experience is the safest way to research. 4．What is the main message we can get from Wang Hong’s story? A．A hard childhood usually makes people less afraid of being famous. B．Winning a top prize is the clearest proof of a person’s value. C．Learning ahead is more important than learning with other people. D．A slow search can still lead somewhere if one keeps coming back to the real question. （25-26九年级上·江苏苏州·期中）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 We never get our childhood back once we’re adults!

As you grow older, there will be certain events that will mark your growth. Graduating from high school and getting your first job are just a few of these. What are some other ways in which we mark our journey toward adulthood? In the US, getting your driver’s license (执照) at the age of 16 is seen as a major coming-of-age (成人) ritual (仪式). But not every teenager gets a car right away. Usually, their parents will buy a second-hand car for them as their first car. Another big coming-of-age event is the prom (毕业舞会). Teenagers wear fancy clothing, ask each other to dance and vote (投票) for a prom “king” and “queen”. For many teenagers, prom is the biggest social event of the year. It’s a time for them to dress and act like an adult. And there’s still more. At the age of 18, we can vote in the US and at 21, we can drink alcohol (酒). This is also the time when most children move out of their parents’ home for college or work. It is around this age that society starts to consider us to be adults. But what does it really mean to be an adult? Psychologist Jeffrey Arnett surveyed young adults and found three common adulthood goals: managing yourself, supporting yourself, and making decisions by yourself. I agree with Arnett. Being an adult has more to do with one’s maturity (成熟). If you want to drive, vote, drink, leave home or even start a romantic relationship, you have to make sure that you’re ready to be responsible. 1．What do parents usually buy for their kids as their first car? 2．What does it mean to be an adult according to the passage? Give one example. 3．Which one do you prefer, to be a child or an adult? Why? （25-26九年级上·江苏苏州·期中）Growing up in a small community can be a wonderful experience filled with love and support. In places like Um Mao and Soak Maew in Nakhon Phanom province, families come together to care for their children, creating a warm and caring environment like a big family. When schools reopened after the long holidays, many children had difficulty getting back to in-person learning. They spent hours on their smartphones, even after finishing their schoolwork. This heavy screen time was affecting their ability to focus and learn in the classroom. Teachers like Aomam, Nice and Pimpam saw this challenge and decided to take action. They worked together to create a special one-day learning recovery (学习恢复) activity that would inspire the children’s enthusiasm (热情) for learning. By bringing in things from their community and inviting local talents to take part, they designed a day filled with fun activities like music, language, sports, and crafts. Through this movement, the teachers hoped to not only include the children but also promote teamwork and develop a deeper connection with nature and science in the community.
