How about lending them five dollars for the bus, if they said they’d return and pay you back? Nowadays, many people find it hard to trust strangers. A recent study found that our ability to trust strangers may be more than just a social or psychological characteristic—it could come from our DNA．This is important, in fact, as it turns out that trusting people might live longer and healthier lives compared to those who like to doubt others. ①________ ②________ Two main theories have appeared to explain why some people are more trusting than others. One suggests trust is a stable characteristic shaped by early life experiences. The other thinks it’s influenced by what a person always thinks about the world around them. We can easily guess the answer to the question “Would you say that most people can be trusted?” would depend on whether you’d been robbed the day before or if you’d had your missing wallet returned. ③________ This is where the recent research comes in. Edgerton, a researcher from Lund University, and his teammates have been doing research about trust. In their most recent study, with 33,882 Danish blood donors, they found a single gene (基因)—PLPP4, which has a strong connection to the personality of trusting others, and that the PLPP4 gene explained 6% of the difference in social trust among the people in the study. If you take two people who have similar education and life experiences, this gene alone could account for 6% of the difference in how much they trust others. ④________ They believe that the PLPP4 gene may soften our “fight-or-flight” survival response (反应). If our fight-or-flight system is less strong when we meet new people, it makes sense that trusting others could greatly improve our health. Indeed, if trusting others acts as something against stress, it may lower the risk of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease. As people continue to uncover the mysteries of trust, one thing is clear: understanding its genetic roots may hold the key to developing healthier communities in the world. 1．Why does the writer begin the passage with questions? A．To test the readers’ sense of safety. B．To show how dangerous it is to trust strangers. C．To challenge readers to make a difficult choice. D．To introduce the topic by connecting to readers’ own lives. 2．According to paragraph 3, what might make you trust people less today? A．If you had a happy childhood. B．If you once faced difficulties at work. C．If you were not educated well at a young age. D．If you were treated in a dishonest way by others. 3．The following sentence can be put at ________. What makes some people more trusting? A．① B．② C．③ D．④ 4．What can we know from the passage? A．We should trust strangers more so that we can live longer. B．Trust may come from our body and is good for our health. C．The PLPP4 gene may lead to our natural fear response to strangers. D．People’s trust levels are mainly shaped by their childhood experiences. （25-26九年级上·江苏无锡·期中）When Kelly was twelve, she started taking classes at Miss Grace’s School for Art. She didn’t like it at first: the “novice artists”—the kids who hadn’t really done art before—worked mostly with clay, and Kelly was a terrible sculptor (雕塑家). It wasn’t until her third year that Kelly found something she was really good at—charcoal drawing (素描). She loved watching the lines spread unevenly across the page as she moved the bits of charcoal back and forth over the paper. One day, Sophia, the best artist in her class, sat down and set up her easel (画架) next to Kelly. Kelly felt a sinking feeling in her stomach. She’d actually found an art form that she enjoyed—and was good at—and now Sophia was going to outshine her again? Kelly fought back tears when Miss Grace entered the room. “Hello class,” Miss Grace said. “We’ll continue to work on the project today.” What masterpiece would Sophia have come up with? Kelly looked at Sophia’s easel and she couldn’t believe it—it was a mess! For a short moment, Kelly couldn’t actually believe her drawing was better than Sophia’s. But then she looked at Sophia, who was watching Kelly with an anxious expression. “I... I couldn’t decide what to do,” Sophia said. “And you’re so good. Sometimes I feel like my work is just so bad in comparison.” Kelly looked to see if Sophia was joking, but she seemed completely serious. Now Kelly was surprised. “I’m not talented... Miss Grace seldom praises me. You’re the best one in our class.” Sophia raised her eyebrows. “I might be a really good copier of the works, but I have no idea what to do when it comes to making up my own images. You are so great at making new things out of the old works. I’ve loved your works.” “I’ve loved yours, too,” Kelly said. “Well, definitely not this one,” Sophia said. Kelly smiled. “Maybe not right now. But if you move these lines up...” she said, pointing her finger on Sophia’s paper. Sophia was quiet for a moment. “That’s a great idea!” she said finally. Kelly smiled and turned back to her drawing, looking every so often at Sophia’s work to see that she was taking her advice, down to the last line. 1．What does the underlined word “outshine” mean in this story? A．Help someone improve. B．Make someone feel happy. C．Do better than someone. D．Become friends with someone. 2．What can we learn about Kelly and Sophia? A．They found they could learn from each other.

She’s not serious about soccer.” Olivia’s teammate Jordan whispered as they jogged together onto the indoor soccer field. The score was tied, 1-1, after half-time. Thinking about what Jordan said, Olivia got into position for the start of the second half. Olivia loved to pass. That was her job as the center midfielder (中前卫). She also loved when all of her teammates, including Makayla, had the chance to touch the ball. But Jordan was right. Makayla never scored before. After the second half began, Olivia received the ball from Jordan. She moved it from foot to foot, keeping it close. Jordan called for the ball up the court, but many of the Green Team members were around her. Directly across from Olivia, Makayla waved (挥舞) her arms. She was all by herself. Olivia used the inside of her foot to pass the ball to her. Makayla took a shot (射门) but she failed again. Jordan was next to Olivia in a second. “I told you,” she said, shaking her head. A few minutes later, Olivia got the ball again. When she looked up, she saw Makayla in the centre of the field. Next to her was Jordan. Both girls were open. This time, Olivia pushed the ball to Jordan. Jordan received the ball, and shot the ball with her left foot. The ball almost came in. “Nice pass,” Jordan said. As the Green Team set up for a goal kick, Makayla ran toward Olivia, but she fell over. “Are you OK, Makayla?” Olivia asked. Makayla stood up. “Yep,” she said. “I know I’m still learning, but I love soccer.” “Me too,” Olivia said. Makayla was smiling wide. Olivia felt exactly the way Makayla did. And she knew that Jordan felt the same way too. The Green Team was trying to have another shot. Olivia held on to the ball. With the ball at her feet, she looked up and there was Makayla, wide open in front of the net. Another midfielder was around Olivia about to attack, and many of the Green Team members were around Jordan. She passed the ball to Makayla. The Green Team’ s goalie (守门员) ran to catch the ball. But before the goalie could get it, the ball bounced off (从……弹开) Makayla’ s body and slowly rolled over the white line. Everyone shouted. Makayla’s mouth dropped wide open. “I did it!” Makayla jumped up and down. “You scored!” Olivia ran up and wrapped her arms with Makayla. “Nice job,” Jordan said and gave her a five with Makayla. Then she whispered to Olivia. She got lucky? Olivia didn’t want to reply to her. All Olivia could think of at that moment was that she loved playing soccer- as part of a team. 1．Why did Olivia pass the ball to Makayla for the second time? A．Because Olivia didn’t trust Jordan any more. B．Because Olivia knew Makayla would succeed. C．Because it was the best choice for Olivia at that time.

C．Jordan didn’t trust Makayla’ s football skills. D．Makayla plays football better than Jordan. 3．Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A．Never Give Up B．A Passing Problem C．The Best Midfielder D．An Exciting Match （25-26九年级上·江苏无锡·期中）. Daniel, Sandy and Simon are in the lab. Simon: Let’s do an experiment. I fill a jar with water. I cover the top with a piece of cardboard and hold it. Then I turn the jar upside down and take my hand off the cardboard. Can you guess what will happen? Daniel: I think the floor will get wet. We should do this experiment outside, Simon. Sandy: I think the cardboard will hold the water. Daniel: I don’t think so. Sandy: You think the water will pour out, Daniel. I think the water will stay in the jar. Let’s do the experiment to test whose opinion is correct. Simon: Good idea, Sandy. That is called the scientific method. Sandy: I am so sure of my opinion that Simon can do the experiment over your head. I know you won’t get wet. Daniel: Well, let’s try. Simon: Are you ready, Daniel? Daniel: No! Wait! (He puts on a raincoat and sits down.) Now I think I’m ready. Sandy: Simon, take your hand off the cardboard. Daniel: No!(Daniel closes his eyes tightly, and Simon takes his hand off the cardboard. The water stays in the jar.) Sandy: See, Daniel! Daniel: How is that possible? Simon: The force of the air keeps the water in the jar. It is strong enough to hold the water. Daniel: Wow! Simon: So what have we discovered? Sandy: We have discovered the air pressure (压力) helps the cardboard hold the water in the jar. Simon: Right. What do you conclude, Daniel? Daniel: I conclude that air pressure is stronger than I thought. And you, Sandy? Sandy: As for our students, perhaps pressure acts as a catalyst, pushing people to unlock their abilities and grow stronger. 1．How does Daniel feel during the experiment? A．Excited. B．Nervous. C．Tired. D．Unhappy. 2．What keeps the water in the jar according to the result of the experiment? A．Simon’s hand. B．The water pressure. C．The force of the air.

He first met a snake in the desert. “Good evening,” said the little prince politely. “Good evening,” said the snake. “Which is the way to the men?” the little prince asked. “The men are there,” said the snake, “over there. Three or four of them are hunting butterflies. They change their places a great deal. It is hard to find them. The butterflies are much easier to find. Good-bye.” The little prince did not understand what the snake could mean. But he was not afraid. Snakes are not so strong as a little prince. But the snake can bite, and a bite from a snake can be deadly. Then the little prince came upon a garden filled with roses. There were thousands of them. “Aha!” he said. “There are roses everywhere!” He was sad. His rose had told him that she was the only one of her kind in the whole universe. And here were five thousand of them, all alike, in one single garden! “She would be very angry,” he said to himself, “if she saw that... she would cough a lot and pretend to be dying, to avoid being laughed at.” Then he learned that his rose was not the only one of her kind. But to him, she was still the most important one in the whole world, because she was the rose he had tamed. He remembered the time when he had taken care of her, watered her, put a screen around her, and listened to her. After that, he met a fox. “Good morning,” said the little prince. “Good morning,” said the fox. “Will you play with me?” asked the little prince. “I am so unhappy.” “I cannot play with you,” the fox said. “I have not been tamed.” “What does that mean—’tamed’?” asked the little prince. “It is an act too often neglected,” said the fox. “It means to build ties.” “To build ties?” “Just that,” said the fox. “To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you, on your part, have no need of me. To you, I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world...” The little prince decided to tame the fox. And after some time, the fox was tamed. When it was time for the little prince to leave, the fox was sad. But the fox had also learned something from being tamed. “It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important,” the fox told the little prince. 1．What does the word “tamed” mean according to the fox? A．To be trained to be well-behaved. B．To form a special relationship and connection. C．To make someone or something less wild. D．To become friends with someone. 2．What can we infer from the story? A．The little prince didn’t really love his rose at first. B．The snake was friendly and helpful to the little prince. C．The fox was indifferent to the little prince’s leaving-off.

Others are seen in full-length movies and TV shows. Cartoons are very popular with people but are they works of art? Works of art are made by artists for a certain purpose. Usually, works of art are made by people to illustrate an idea or show part of a story. You can probably think of many famous works of art, like the Mona Lisa or David. These works of art took a long time to create. The people who made them wanted to show an important idea about the subject of their art. When people think of works of art, they usually think of paintings or sculptures that are known to even people who know little about art. Year after year, people come to look at the Mona Lisa’s strange smile. The sculpture David is similar—a lot of people know the story of how David fought a giant. The sculpture shows David as a hero. Since most of us wish we were heroes, David interests us no matter who we are. Cartoons can be seen in the same way, since many people who draw cartoons go to art school and study how to create pictures and stories. They think carefully about what ideas or stories they want to show with their work. Cartoons have an advantage over the works of art you see in museums, too. People need to travel to museums to see famous works of art, but a cartoon is as near as the newspaper or the internet. Cartoons talk about ideas that are important to people in a simple and easy-to-understand way. Most people do not need to stare at a cartoon for a long time to understand its meaning. However, not everyone agrees with the idea that cartoons are art. For example, some cartoons tend to deal with very recent issues, such as political (政治的) cartoons that appear in newspapers. They show an important news item of the day. However, in a few years, the people who look at the cartoons may not know anything about that news item. This means that they will not understand what the cartoon is about. Additionally, some people argue that cartoons take less time to make than other works of art, so they are not true pieces of art. 1．Why do some people think cartoons are not works of art? A．Because they think cartoons take longer time to create. B．Because they think cartoons don’t have deep meanings. C．Because they think cartoons aren’t for people of all ages. D．Because they think some cartoons have no lasting value 2．What does the underlined word “advantage” mean in this passage? A．Something better. B．Something worse. C．Something equal. D．Something similar. 3．What can most possibly be the purpose of the passage? A．To introduce the steps of how cartoon artists create their works. B．To show different opinions on whether cartoons are works of art. C．To explain why people prefer artworks like paintings to cartoons. D．To share the reasons why cartoons are thought of as works of art. 4．The following sentence would best be placed at the end of _________. This makes it possible for cartoons to reach more people than most traditional art forms. A．Paragraph 1 B．Paragraph 2 C．Paragraph 3 D．Paragraph 4 （26-27九年级上·江苏无锡·阶段检测）For two months White Fang had lived among the men of the camp, and in that time he had learned much. He had learned that the man-animals were masters, that their voices were law, and that their hands were to be feared when they were raised in anger. But he had also learned that one man-animal, the boy who called himself Weedon Scott, was different. This man did not strike him, did not shout at him, and even brought him meat from his own plate. The other dogs of the camp hated White Fang with a bitter hatred. They were all half-wild curs, bred for fighting, and they saw in the lean, silent wolf-dog a rival who must be driven out or killed. Every day they gathered around him, snarling, snapping, daring him to fight. White Fang stood his ground, his lips drawn back over his white fangs, his eyes blazing with a cold, deadly light. He had fought too many fights in the wild to be cowed by a pack of yapping curs. One afternoon, as Weedon Scott sat on the ground cleaning his rifle, the big mastiff Skagos, the fiercest dog in the camp, crept up behind him. Skagos had been bribed by the other dogs to attack the boy, to drive the strange wolf-dog away by killing his protector. With a low growl, the great dog sprang, his jaws wide open to fasten on the boy's throat. White Fang was standing ten feet away, watching. In that instant, all the wild blood of his wolf-ancestors, all the cruel cunning of his mother Kiche, all the hard lessons of the wild, surged through him. He did not think, he did not hesitate. Like a bolt of gray lightning he launched himself across the space between them, his body striking Skagos in mid-leap. The two great beasts rolled over and over on the ground, snapping, tearing, growling. White Fang fought with a ferocity that none of the camp dogs had ever seen. He did not fight to drive his enemy away, but to kill. In less than a minute, he had seized Skagos by the throat and shaken him till his neck broke. The big mastiff lay still, and White Fang stood over him, his chest heaving, his fangs red with blood, looking at the boy who had fed him and been kind to him. Weedon Scott did not run, did not shout. He only reached out his hand and laid it on White Fang’s head. “Good boy,” he said softly. From that moment, a new thing came into White Fang’s life. For the first time in all his years, he knew what it meant to be loved. He curled up at the boy's feet that night, and for the first time he slept without one ear open, without listening for the sound of an enemy. He had found his master, and he would serve him, fight for him, die for him, all the days of his life. 1．Why does White Fang attack Skagos with all his strength? A．Skagos has made White Fang angry, trying to get the position of camp leader. B．Skagos is encouraged by other dogs to attack White Fang’s master Weedon Scott. C．White Fang wants to kill Skagos to prove he is the strongest dog in the camp. D．Skagos steals White Fang's food, and the two have long held the dislikes against each other. 2．Which of the following descriptions of Weedon Scott matches the passage? A．He is the only person in the camp brave enough to train White Fang, and often beats him to make him obey orders. B．Like other people in the camp, he thinks White Fang is a dangerous animal. C．He shares meat from his own plate with White Fang instead of beating him. D．He trains White Fang to take part in dog fighting matches, hoping to win prize money. 3．What is the final result of the fight between White Fang and Skagos? A．The two fight to a draw, and Skagos escapes with injuries. B．White Fang is bitten and injured by Skagos, and is finally saved only after Weedon Scott shoots Skagos. C．In less than a minute, White Fang bites through Skagos’s throat and kills him. D．Other camp dogs take advantage of the chaos to attack, and White Fang is beaten to death. 4．How does White Fang feel after the fight ends? A．He hates all humans and plans to find a chance to run away from the camp. B．For the first time, he experiences what it means to be loved. C．He thinks he has become the new leader of the camp. D．He begins to hate Weedon Scott for not stepping forward to help him drive Skagos away in time. 5．What role does the scene described in the passage play in the whole story of White Fang? A．It is a memory of White Fang’s childhood, when he lived with his mother Kiche in the forest. B．It’s the turning point where White Fang completely lets go of his wild nature and accepts human trust. C．It is the part where White Fang takes part in his first dog fighting match. D．It is the final ending of the story, where White Fang finally chooses to return to the wild. （26-27九年级上·江苏无锡·阶段检测）Everyone has “down days” in life. On these days, people may feel low and unwilling to do anything. For teenagers, bad weather, failed exams, broken friendships or pressure from schoolwork can easily bring up such negative feelings. Usually, these bad feelings do not last long. Most teens can cheer themselves up by talking with friends, taking part in outdoor activities or focusing on new school tasks. Slowly, they will forget their troubles and return to their normal life. However, if a teenager keeps feeling sad, lonely and hopeless for more than two weeks, this is not a simple bad mood. It is a dangerous sign that needs careful attention from both parents and teachers. Growing up is a process of seeking independence. As teens grow older, they start to challenge rules and fight for more freedom. They complain about parents’ strict requirements and hope to make their own decisions in life. This is a natural and necessary step of growth, which shows that teenagers are developing self-awareness and want to be treated as adults. Many teenagers refuse their parents’ control openly, yet they still rely on their parents in many ways. This strange mix of independence desire and real dependence often causes parent-child disagreements and inner confusion for teens. In fact, teenage education is never a simple choice between strict rules and total freedom. The best family education lies in keeping a healthy balance between the two. Parents need to set clear and proper rules to guide their children’s behavior, helping them form good habits and sense of responsibility. At the same time, parents should be flexible and understanding. They must respect teens’ growing need for independence and personal space. It is common for teens to feel upset and angry when they have to ask for parents’ agreement to visit friends or join after-school activities, even though they wish to be fully independent. Parents should see such moods as normal growth pains instead of rude resistance. The US Department of Education has offered useful advice on teenage family education. It points out that parents should respect and support their children’s personal choices as long as these choices will not cause long-term harm to their study, health and future. Many daily choices of teenagers are totally harmless. The music they listen to, the clothes they wear and their personal hobbies may not fit parents’ taste, but these small choices will not affect their school performance or physical and mental health. In such situations, too much prevention will only make teens feel stressed and distance themselves from their parents. Still, freedom never means doing whatever one wants. When teenagers’ choices turn into risky or harmful behaviors, strict rules and proper punishment become necessary. For example, behaviors like drinking and driving, skipping school on purpose, staying out late or making friends with bad people will bring serious results. In such cases, parents must stop their children firmly and give clear punishment. This helps teens learn a basic life lesson: more freedom comes with more responsibilities, and wrong choices will lead to unavoidable bad results. This kind of boundary awareness plays a key role in teenagers’ long-term healthy development. 1．What does the underlined word “resistance” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．理解 B．抵触 C．服从 D．沉默 2．Which of the following is a normal teen growth-change according to the passage? A．Feeling sad for over three weeks continuously. B．Refusing schoolwork to relax oneself. C．Hoping to make personal decisions independently. D．Keeping away from all parent-child communication. 3．What can we infer from Paragraph 4? A．Parents’ personal taste should decide teens' life choices. B．Harmless personal hobbies should win parents’ respect. C．Teens’ daily choices will affect their school grades greatly. D．Parents should ignore all of their teens’ bad moods. 4．What is the writer’s idea towards teens’ harmful behaviors? A．Parents should take strict and firm actions. B．Parents should choose to understand and forgive. C．Teachers rather than parents should take charge. D．These behaviors are normal and need no care. 5．What can we infer from the passage? A．Teenagers’ ways to deal with daily down days. B．Too much freedom without rules may do harm to teens. C．Proper rules and freedom both matter to teens. D．Strict rules can make teenagers more excellent. （25-26九年级上·江苏无锡·期中） Nowadays, more and more Chinese travelers, especially young people, are going beyond traditional sightseeing. They are looking for deeper connections and more personal experiences during their trips. This change shows a new travel idea that values the quality of experiences over how many places they visit, and real experience over checklist-style tourism. According to a recent report by China Youth Daily in May, deep and interesting “slow travel” (55.3%) and traveling on their own (52.3%) have become the most popular types among young Chinese travelers. The same report also says that visiting less famous attractions (41.9%) has become another popular choice, showing that more people prefer real experiences over crowded (拥挤的) tourist places. A good example comes from Quanzhou, Fujian, where college student Yan Ting purposely avoided popular tourist spots. She spent her days walking through the old town's small streets, watching locals make tea and talk with each other, and even joined older people to learn about nanyin—an old music tradition recognized by UNESCO as important cultural heritage. The idea of “slow travel” has also grown to include “volunteer tourism”, where travelers help with local community projects. In Qiandongnan, Guizhou, groups of young travelers worked together to help older villagers through different useful activities. They collected oral histories, recorded traditional needlework skills, and helped set up small online museums to save and show local cultural history. Thinking about her experience, Yan Ting shared: “I didn't want to just see famous places; I wanted to feel the real life here.” Her words explain the heart of this growing trend—a wish to go beyond surface-level tourism and build real connections with local communities and their way of living. These slow and meaningful experiences are truly changing for modern Chinese travelers. They show a basic change in travel values, where the quality of experience and depth of cultural understanding have become more important than just visiting many places. This way of traveling allows young people to return home with not just photos, but with lasting memories and real connections. 1．Why is nanyin mentioned in the passage? A．To prove it's the most popular attraction in Quanzhou. B．To explain why young people travel on their own. C．To encourage every tourist to learn this kind of music. D．To provide an example of deep cultural slow travel. 2．How does the writer develop the whole passage? A．By listing numbers to show the trend. B．By comparing advantages and disadvantages. C．By giving general ideas and supporting examples. D．By sharing all kinds of young people's travel stories. 3．The following sentence would be best placed at the beginning of ________. Unlike rushed tourists, many young travelers now prefer slow, cultural experiences. A．Paragraph 2 B．Paragraph 3 C．Paragraph 4 D．Paragraph 5 4．What can we learn about “volunteer tourism” from the text? A．It requires young people to be very strong. B．It is only about teaching in local schools. C．It helps travelers connect with local people and culture. D．It is the most popular travel style among young people. （25-26九年级上·江苏无锡·期中）Most environmental pollution comes from humans and their inventions. The electric bulbs are thought to be one of the greatest human inventions of all time. However, too much of a good thing has started to influence the environment. Light pollution is influencing human health and wildlife behavior. There is a world-wide movement to reduce light pollution, and everyone can help. Light pollution problem became especially serious when the World Map of Night Sky Brightness was published in 2016. Large areas of North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia are glowing with light, while only Siberia, the Sahara, and the Amazon are in total darkness. Artificial (人造的) light can wreak havoc on natural body rhythms in both humans and animals. It interrupts sleep and confuses the circadian rhythm (生理节奏). An increased amount of light at night lowers melatonin (褪黑素) production, which results in less sleep, headaches, stress and other health problems. Blue light, in particular, has been shown to reduce levels of melatonin in humans. It is found in cell phones and other computer devices, as well as in LEDs, the kinds of bulbs that have become popular at home and in industrial and city lighting due to their low cost and energy efficiency. Studies show that light pollution is also influencing animal behaviors, such as migration (迁徙) patterns and habitat formation. Because of light pollution, sea turtles guided by moonlight during migration lose their way, and often die. Even animals living under the deep sea may be influenced by underwater artificial lighting. Studies show that the artificial light is changing ocean ecosystems. The good news is that light pollution is reversible (可逆的) and each one of us can make a difference! Now, many people are taking action to reduce light pollution and bring back the natural night sky. People are required to use outdoor lighting only when and where it is needed and to close window blinds, shades, and curtains at night to keep light inside. 1．What does the underlined phrase “wreak havoc on” in Para. 3 probably mean? A．Improve greatly. B．Keep well. C．Manage strictly. D．Damage seriously. 2．According to the passage, which would the author agree with? A．Light pollution was first studied as a problem in 2016. B．Deep-sea environment can help animals avoid light pollution. C．Artificial light influences the sense of direction of animals. D．LEDs can be used more because of low cost and energy efficiency. 3．What is the author’s attitude towards the control of light pollution? A．Uncertain. B．Doubtful. C．Worried. D．Hopeful. 4．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To call on people to reduce light pollution. B．To discuss good and bad points of artificial light. C．To give advice to protect the environment. D．To show future development of artificial light. 四、任务型阅读 （25-26九年级上·江苏无锡·期中）阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容回答问题，每小题答案不超过10个单词。 For Chen Sheng, a young man in Meitan, Guizhou province, caring for the elderly is more than a job—it’s a calling in his heart. Chen Sheng was raised by his grandparents, and his dream was to take care of more elderly people. After graduating in 2017 with a degree in healthcare, Chen Sheng chose to work in a nursing home. In his early working days, what he met was more difficult than expected. He got up at 6 a.m. to help with morning tasks. He provided full bedside care, especially for the elderly who had to stay in bed all the time. Often, his day didn’t end until 11 p.m. He wanted to give up the job at first, but after a period, he received the warmth and trust from the elderly and he changed his mind. Using his medical knowledge, Chen Sheng takes care of the elderly in a proper way, including physical examination, health guidance, advice on food and so on. “I arrived at the nursing home with lots of illnesses and could only lie in bed. After two months of good medical care by Chen Sheng, I was able to walk again by myself. Life here is very convenient, from satisfying daily services to good medical care, just like at home,” said Grandpa Li. Besides medical care, Chen Sheng also gives emotional (情感的) support. He always offers comfort in time when a grandpa or a grandma is upset. Grandma Sun likes to talk with Chen Sheng every day and always shares the things she considers valuable. Grandma Sun feels warm and happy because of Chen Sheng. Her family thanks him for his patience and great love. As the needs for elderly care continue to grow, more and more young people, including those born after 2000, have come to work in the nursing home. They are making every effort to take good care of the elderly and make them live a happy life. 1．When did Chen Sheng work in a nursing home? 2．Why did Chen Sheng change his mind about giving up the job? 3．What happened to Grandpa Li after Chen Sheng took care of him for two months? 4．What two types of care does Chen Sheng provide for the elderly? 5．Why is Chen Sheng’s work valuable according to the passage? （25-26九年级上·江苏无锡·期中）They say you can’t have too much of a good thing, but according to a new study, maybe you can! Researchers from the University of Toronto in Canada found that people are feeling more bored than before, even though there are endless types of entertainment available. Could this endless entertainment actually be causing increased feelings of boredom? Possibly, the researchers say. In their study, published in Communications Psychology, Katy Tam and Michael Inzlicht looked at data from 2009 to 2020. They also looked at the relationship between digital media and reported feelings of boredom. They found that people are reporting higher levels of boredom than before, with young people and college students feeling bored more often. Many people reported feelings of boredom after engaging with digital media, leading Tam and Inzlicht to believe that this type of entertainment is increasing feelings of boredom. Digital media, they explain, is highly stimulating(令人兴奋的), which could cause people to be less interested in activities with lower stimulation, like reading a book. And with technology offering so many distractions, people find it more difficult to focus on a single activity and take enjoyment from it, the researchers added. There’s also so much information available online that people often engage with quick, unrelated pieces of media instead of longer, more meaningful information, which can leave people feeling unsatisfied and bored. The researchers said we may need to become more comfortable with feeling bored——since not everything in life is meant to be constantly interesting! 1．What did researchers from the University of Toronto in Canada find? 2．How many years of data did researchers Katy Tam and Michael Inzlicht study? 3．Who feels bored more often than before, according to the study? 4．Why do people find it more difficult to focus on a single activity? 5．What can you learn from this passage? （25-26九年级上·江苏无锡·期中）阅读下面短文，然后根据短文内容回答问题，并将答案写在答题卡对应题号的横线上。每小题答案不超过10个单词。 Have you ever noticed small details that others miss? Do you often think deeply about things? If so, you might be one of the Highly Sensitive (敏感) People (HSP). Research shows that about 30% of people are born with this special feature. It is not a weakness or a flaw—it is actually a unique gift that allows you to experience the world in a deeper way. Highly sensitive people process information more thoroughly than others. They often notice subtle textures, unspoken emotions, and creative ideas that many might overlook. This quality brings many advantages. The most well-known is creativity. In fact, many famous artists, musicians, and scientists are highly sensitive. Charles Darwin, for example, used his careful observation and deep thinking to develop the theory of evolution. Besides creativity, sensitive people are also good at decision-making. Studies have found that they perform better in tasks that require them to recognize patterns and make thoughtful choices. Another important advantage is the “Boost Effect”. It means that highly sensitive people benefit (获益) more from training, support, and positive environments. For example, in marriage counseling programs, sensitive couples showed greater improvement and higher joy after receiving guidance. For students who are highly sensitive, this feature can be a powerful tool in learning. They often benefit from quiet study environments, detailed instructions, and opportunities to reflect deeply on what they learn. Teachers can help by offering encouragement and allowing them to express their ideas in creative ways. By using their sensitivity, these students can achieve better understanding and remaining of knowledge. You cannot change your natural sensitivity, nor should you try to hide it. The best way is to accept it and use it as a strength. Learn to appreciate your deep feeling and careful thinking. Show your true self to the world. Whether in study or in life, sensitivity is not a burden— it is a gift waiting to be opened. 1．What percentage of people are highly sensitive? 2．What are the important advantages of sensitive people? 3．Why are sensitive people good at making decisions? 4．How can teachers help highly sensitive students? 5．What should sensitive students do to make better use of their gift? 五、书面表达 1．（25-26九年级上·江苏无锡·期中）每个人心中都有一个想感谢的人。近日，无锡教育电视台将举办题为“The person I’d like to thank”的英文演讲比赛，邀请全市中学生参赛。假设你是李华，请根据以下流程图完成演讲稿。 Dear teachers and classmates, I’m Li Hua.

Driving through the desert had become our special 1 . My head felt heavy as we were trapped in the car, surrounded by sand hills. When I was a little child, I always wanted to be as close to my brother as he was with his friends. When Matthew first heard he’d have a brother, he was excited. 2 when I was born and he got to know that I was a girl, he felt sad. He even hid in his room for days, 3 to see me. As I learned to walk, my brother was a fourth grader. I would wait for him to come home from school every day. I followed him everywhere and asked him endless questions. “Why is the sky blue?” “Where do birds sleep at night?” To him, I was just a 4 little sister. He often told me to be quiet, but I never stopped. However, he was always there to hold my hand when I crossed the street. 5 later, Matthew invited me at once to visit him at college after I said I missed him. In his room, he handed me a drink. We talked in our usual way—few words but deep understanding. He always saw my 6 and became my support. Once, when our family left me out of holiday plans because I had to attend my music classes, Matthew refused to go without me. We 7 together, just the two of us. On the cold November evening, we sat on the floor, sharing a 8 meal with just one hamburger each but much laughter. My brother had become my hero.

Buttermilk the cow was in Mama’s daisy patch (雏菊地). Mama was planning to sell daisy bouquets (花束) at the fair next week. But Buttermilk was eating the flowers. Taylor 2 outside. When I grow up, I’ll be an artist and paint pictures all day, Taylor thought. I’ll never own a cow. Too much 3 . Just as Taylor was about to snap the lead rope onto Buttermilk’s collar (颈圈), the family dog, Red, rounded the corner of the house. The cow couldn’t stand Red. Buttermilk took off, tearing through the daisies and across the yard. She finally ran through the open gate and into the field. “Thank goodness.” Taylor said as she closed the gate. She turned to look at the flower garden. Most of the daisies were either 4 or trampled (践踏). Mama came out of the house. “What’s going on?” she asked. She looked 5 at her garden. “I forgot to 6 the gate,” Taylor said. “I’m so sorry.” “I know you are.” Mama sighed and gave Taylor a hug. “You learned an important lesson today.” Taylor’s heart was 7 as she went back into the house. She had to think of a way to make it up to her mother. A painting on the wall caught Taylor’s eye. “That’s it,” she whispered. The morning of the fair, Dad loaded daisy bouquets into the van. “That’s half the number I usually have, but it’s 8 worth taking them,” Mama said. “Mama,” said Taylor, “I have a surprise for you upstairs.” Mama smiled. “Really? Let’s see it.” When they reached Taylor’s bedroom, Taylor opened the door.

How about lending them five dollars for the bus, if they said they’d return and pay you back? Nowadays, many people find it hard to trust strangers. A recent study found that our ability to trust strangers may be more than just a social or psychological characteristic—it could come from our DNA．This is important, in fact, as it turns out that trusting people might live longer and healthier lives compared to those who like to doubt others. ①________ ②________ Two main theories have appeared to explain why some people are more trusting than others. One suggests trust is a stable characteristic shaped by early life experiences. The other thinks it’s influenced by what a person always thinks about the world around them. We can easily guess the answer to the question “Would you say that most people can be trusted?” would depend on whether you’d been robbed the day before or if you’d had your missing wallet returned. ③________ This is where the recent research comes in. Edgerton, a researcher from Lund University, and his teammates have been doing research about trust. In their most recent study, with 33,882 Danish blood donors, they found a single gene (基因)—PLPP4, which has a strong connection to the personality of trusting others, and that the PLPP4 gene explained 6% of the difference in social trust among the people in the study. If you take two people who have similar education and life experiences, this gene alone could account for 6% of the difference in how much they trust others. ④________ They believe that the PLPP4 gene may soften our “fight-or-flight” survival response (反应). If our fight-or-flight system is less strong when we meet new people, it makes sense that trusting others could greatly improve our health. Indeed, if trusting others acts as something against stress, it may lower the risk of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease. As people continue to uncover the mysteries of trust, one thing is clear: understanding its genetic roots may hold the key to developing healthier communities in the world. 1．Why does the writer begin the passage with questions? A．To test the readers’ sense of safety. B．To show how dangerous it is to trust strangers. C．To challenge readers to make a difficult choice. D．To introduce the topic by connecting to readers’ own lives. 2．According to paragraph 3, what might make you trust people less today? A．If you had a happy childhood. B．If you once faced difficulties at work. C．If you were not educated well at a young age. D．If you were treated in a dishonest way by others. 3．The following sentence can be put at ________. What makes some people more trusting? A．① B．② C．③ D．④ 4．What can we know from the passage? A．We should trust strangers more so that we can live longer. B．Trust may come from our body and is good for our health. C．The PLPP4 gene may lead to our natural fear response to strangers. D．People’s trust levels are mainly shaped by their childhood experiences. 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．B 4．B 【导语】本文主要探讨了人类信任感的来源。文章从“是否愿意帮助陌生人”这一生活场景切入，引出信任感可能源于DNA（特别是PLPP4基因）的研究发现，并阐述了信任他人对身心健康的积极影响及其背后的生理机制。 1．文章第1段“If a stranger (陌生人) knocked on your door asking to use your phone, would you help?”，作者通过假设一个读者在生活中可能遇到的真实情境来开篇。这种方式能让读者产生代入感，从而自然地引出关于“信任陌生人”这一核心话题的讨论。 2．文章第3段“We can easily guess the answer to the question ‘Would you say that most people can be trusted?’ would depend on whether you’d been robbed the day before or if you’d had your missing wallet returned.”表明如果不被他人诚实对待，会降低对他人的信任。 3．文章第3段“Two main theories have appeared to explain why some people are more trusting than others...”主要介绍了关于信任的两个理论，句子“What makes some people more trusting?”放在②处，引出下文两种理论，逻辑衔接通顺。 4．文章第2段“our ability to trust strangers may be more than just a social or psychological characteristic—it could come from our DNA...trusting people might live longer and healthier lives” 表明信任陌生人的能力源于DNA，信任他人的人寿命更长、身体更健康。 （25-26九年级上·江苏无锡·期中）When Kelly was twelve, she started taking classes at Miss Grace’s School for Art. She didn’t like it at first: the “novice artists”—the kids who hadn’t really done art before—worked mostly with clay, and Kelly was a terrible sculptor (雕塑家). It wasn’t until her third year that Kelly found something she was really good at—charcoal drawing (素描). She loved watching the lines spread unevenly across the page as she moved the bits of charcoal back and forth over the paper. One day, Sophia, the best artist in her class, sat down and set up her easel (画架) next to Kelly. Kelly felt a sinking feeling in her stomach. She’d actually found an art form that she enjoyed—and was good at—and now Sophia was going to outshine her again? Kelly fought back tears when Miss Grace entered the room. “Hello class,” Miss Grace said. “We’ll continue to work on the project today.” What masterpiece would Sophia have come up with? Kelly looked at Sophia’s easel and she couldn’t believe it—it was a mess! For a short moment, Kelly couldn’t actually believe her drawing was better than Sophia’s. But then she looked at Sophia, who was watching Kelly with an anxious expression. “I... I couldn’t decide what to do,” Sophia said. “And you’re so good. Sometimes I feel like my work is just so bad in comparison.” Kelly looked to see if Sophia was joking, but she seemed completely serious. Now Kelly was surprised. “I’m not talented... Miss Grace seldom praises me. You’re the best one in our class.” Sophia raised her eyebrows. “I might be a really good copier of the works, but I have no idea what to do when it comes to making up my own images. You are so great at making new things out of the old works. I’ve loved your works.” “I’ve loved yours, too,” Kelly said. “Well, definitely not this one,” Sophia said. Kelly smiled. “Maybe not right now. But if you move these lines up...” she said, pointing her finger on Sophia’s paper. Sophia was quiet for a moment. “That’s a great idea!” she said finally. Kelly smiled and turned back to her drawing, looking every so often at Sophia’s work to see that she was taking her advice, down to the last line. 1．What does the underlined word “outshine” mean in this story? A．Help someone improve. B．Make someone feel happy. C．Do better than someone. D．Become friends with someone. 2．What can we learn about Kelly and Sophia? A．They found they could learn from each other. B．They decided to work together on a new project. C．Kelly realized she was a better artist than Sophia. D．Sophia learned how to use charcoal for the first time. 3．Which is the best title for this story? A．The Art Class. B．A New Sculptor. C．The Best Painting. D．My Drawing Teacher. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．A 【导语】本文讲述凯利起初在艺术学校并不擅长泥塑，后来精通炭笔素描。班里画画最好的索菲娅坐到了她的身边，凯利却意外发现索菲娅自主创作时的画作水平很差。原来索菲娅进行自主创作时总会陷入瓶颈，她还格外羡慕凯利的创作能力。二人解开心中的顾虑，认可彼此。 1．第三段“She’d actually found an art form that she enjoyed—and was good at—and now Sophia was going to outshine her again? Kelly fought back tears”表明，凯利刚找到自己擅长的素描，担心索菲娅的表现会胜过自己，故outshine表示“胜过，比……做得好”，C选项“Do better than someone”符合。 2．第九段“Sophia raised her eyebrows. ‘I might be a really good copier... I’ve loved your works.’ ”和最后一段“ Kelly smiled and turned back to her drawing, looking every so often at Sophia’s work to see that she was taking her advice, down to the last line.”表明，索菲娅擅长临摹但不擅长原创，凯利擅长原创创作，两人都表达了对彼此的欣赏，可知她们发现可以互相学习。 3．本文整个故事发生在艺术课上，围绕艺术课里两个学生的经历展开，A选项“The Art Class.”符合最佳标题。 （25-26九年级上·江苏无锡·期中） “Don’t pass to Makayla. She’s not like us. She’s not serious about soccer.” Olivia’s teammate Jordan whispered as they jogged together onto the indoor soccer field. The score was tied, 1-1, after half-time. Thinking about what Jordan said, Olivia got into position for the start of the second half. Olivia loved to pass. That was her job as the center midfielder (中前卫). She also loved when all of her teammates, including Makayla, had the chance to touch the ball. But Jordan was right. Makayla never scored before. After the second half began, Olivia received the ball from Jordan. She moved it from foot to foot, keeping it close. Jordan called for the ball up the court, but many of the Green Team members were around her. Directly across from Olivia, Makayla waved (挥舞) her arms. She was all by herself. Olivia used the inside of her foot to pass the ball to her. Makayla took a shot (射门) but she failed again. Jordan was next to Olivia in a second. “I told you,” she said, shaking her head. A few minutes later, Olivia got the ball again. When she looked up, she saw Makayla in the centre of the field. Next to her was Jordan. Both girls were open. This time, Olivia pushed the ball to Jordan. Jordan received the ball, and shot the ball with her left foot. The ball almost came in. “Nice pass,” Jordan said. As the Green Team set up for a goal kick, Makayla ran toward Olivia, but she fell over. “Are you OK, Makayla?” Olivia asked. Makayla stood up. “Yep,” she said. “I know I’m still learning, but I love soccer.” “Me too,” Olivia said. Makayla was smiling wide. Olivia felt exactly the way Makayla did. And she knew that Jordan felt the same way too. The Green Team was trying to have another shot. Olivia held on to the ball. With the ball at her feet, she looked up and there was Makayla, wide open in front of the net. Another midfielder was around Olivia about to attack, and many of the Green Team members were around Jordan. She passed the ball to Makayla. The Green Team’ s goalie (守门员) ran to catch the ball. But before the goalie could get it, the ball bounced off (从……弹开) Makayla’ s body and slowly rolled over the white line. Everyone shouted. Makayla’s mouth dropped wide open. “I did it!” Makayla jumped up and down. “You scored!” Olivia ran up and wrapped her arms with Makayla. “Nice job,” Jordan said and gave her a five with Makayla. Then she whispered to Olivia. She got lucky? Olivia didn’t want to reply to her. All Olivia could think of at that moment was that she loved playing soccer- as part of a team. 1．Why did Olivia pass the ball to Makayla for the second time? A．Because Olivia didn’t trust Jordan any more. B．Because Olivia knew Makayla would succeed. C．Because it was the best choice for Olivia at that time. D．Because they were good friends and knew each other very well. 2．What can you infer from the passage? A．Olivia would stop being friends with Jordan. B．Luck helped Makayla get one score. C．Jordan didn’t trust Makayla’ s football skills. D．Makayla plays football better than Jordan. 3．Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A．Never Give Up B．A Passing Problem C．The Best Midfielder D．An Exciting Match 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Olivia在一场室内足球比赛中，不顾队友Jordan的反对，多次传球给新手Makayla，最终Makayla进球的故事，体现了团队合作和信任的重要性。 1．由第七段“With the ball at her feet, she looked up and there was Makayla, wide open in front of the net. Another midfielder was around Olivia about to attack, and many of the Green Team members were around Jordan”可知，当时Makayla处于无人防守的最佳位置，而Olivia被对手围攻、Jordan也被多人盯防，传球给Makayla是当时最好的选择。 2．第一段Jordan说“Don’t pass to Makayla. She’s not like us. She’s not serious about soccer”，第一次射门失败后她说“I told you”，进球后她私下说“She got lucky?”，这些都表明Jordan完全不信任Makayla的足球技能。 3．全文围绕Olivia在比赛中面临的核心矛盾——“要不要把球传给不被队友看好的Makayla”展开，整个故事都围绕这个传球的选择难题，因此“A Passing Problem”（一个传球难题）是最合适的标题。 （25-26九年级上·江苏无锡·期中）. Daniel, Sandy and Simon are in the lab. Simon: Let’s do an experiment. I fill a jar with water. I cover the top with a piece of cardboard and hold it. Then I turn the jar upside down and take my hand off the cardboard. Can you guess what will happen? Daniel: I think the floor will get wet. We should do this experiment outside, Simon. Sandy: I think the cardboard will hold the water. Daniel: I don’t think so. Sandy: You think the water will pour out, Daniel. I think the water will stay in the jar. Let’s do the experiment to test whose opinion is correct. Simon: Good idea, Sandy. That is called the scientific method. Sandy: I am so sure of my opinion that Simon can do the experiment over your head. I know you won’t get wet. Daniel: Well, let’s try. Simon: Are you ready, Daniel? Daniel: No! Wait! (He puts on a raincoat and sits down.) Now I think I’m ready. Sandy: Simon, take your hand off the cardboard. Daniel: No!(Daniel closes his eyes tightly, and Simon takes his hand off the cardboard. The water stays in the jar.) Sandy: See, Daniel! Daniel: How is that possible? Simon: The force of the air keeps the water in the jar. It is strong enough to hold the water. Daniel: Wow! Simon: So what have we discovered? Sandy: We have discovered the air pressure (压力) helps the cardboard hold the water in the jar. Simon: Right. What do you conclude, Daniel? Daniel: I conclude that air pressure is stronger than I thought. And you, Sandy? Sandy: As for our students, perhaps pressure acts as a catalyst, pushing people to unlock their abilities and grow stronger. 1．How does Daniel feel during the experiment? A．Excited. B．Nervous. C．Tired. D．Unhappy. 2．What keeps the water in the jar according to the result of the experiment? A．Simon’s hand. B．The water pressure. C．The force of the air. D．The force of the jar. 3．What does the script mainly tell us? A．Pressure is of some help to experiments and students. B．Correct conclusions can be only got by doing experiments. C．The air pressure is always strong enough to hold the water. D．When we do not agree with others, doing experiments is helpful. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 【导语】本文是一篇实验对话脚本，讲述了Simon、Daniel和Sandy通过“覆杯实验”验证大气压力的存在，展现了科学探究的过程。 1．原文中Daniel说“No! Wait! (He puts on a raincoat and sits down.) Now I think I’m ready.”以及“Daniel closes his eyes tightly”，这些细节都体现出他在实验过程中很紧张。 2．原文Simon说“The force of the air keeps the water in the jar. It is strong enough to hold the water.”，点明是空气的力量托住了杯中的水。 3．全文通过三人提出猜想、进行实验、得出结论的过程，说明实验的重要性，同时Sandy最后也提到压力对学生成长的帮助，综合来看“Pressure is of some help to experiments and students”最能概括主旨。 （25-26九年级上·江苏无锡·期中）The little prince arrived on the Earth. He first met a snake in the desert. “Good evening,” said the little prince politely. “Good evening,” said the snake. “Which is the way to the men?” the little prince asked. “The men are there,” said the snake, “over there. Three or four of them are hunting butterflies. They change their places a great deal. It is hard to find them. The butterflies are much easier to find. Good-bye.” The little prince did not understand what the snake could mean. But he was not afraid. Snakes are not so strong as a little prince. But the snake can bite, and a bite from a snake can be deadly. Then the little prince came upon a garden filled with roses. There were thousands of them. “Aha!” he said. “There are roses everywhere!” He was sad. His rose had told him that she was the only one of her kind in the whole universe. And here were five thousand of them, all alike, in one single garden! “She would be very angry,” he said to himself, “if she saw that... she would cough a lot and pretend to be dying, to avoid being laughed at.” Then he learned that his rose was not the only one of her kind. But to him, she was still the most important one in the whole world, because she was the rose he had tamed. He remembered the time when he had taken care of her, watered her, put a screen around her, and listened to her. After that, he met a fox. “Good morning,” said the little prince. “Good morning,” said the fox. “Will you play with me?” asked the little prince. “I am so unhappy.” “I cannot play with you,” the fox said. “I have not been tamed.” “What does that mean—’tamed’?” asked the little prince. “It is an act too often neglected,” said the fox. “It means to build ties.” “To build ties?” “Just that,” said the fox. “To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you, on your part, have no need of me. To you, I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world...” The little prince decided to tame the fox. And after some time, the fox was tamed. When it was time for the little prince to leave, the fox was sad. But the fox had also learned something from being tamed. “It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important,” the fox told the little prince. 1．What does the word “tamed” mean according to the fox? A．To be trained to be well-behaved. B．To form a special relationship and connection. C．To make someone or something less wild. D．To become friends with someone. 2．What can we infer from the story? A．The little prince didn’t really love his rose at first. B．The snake was friendly and helpful to the little prince. C．The fox was indifferent to the little prince’s leaving-off. D．The little prince’s experience with the fox made him understand the value of his rose more deeply. 3．What is the main theme of this part of the story? A．The exploration of the little prince on the Earth. B．The little prince’s understanding of love and uniqueness through taming. C．The little prince’s meeting different animals on the Earth. D．The little prince’s search for the meaning of life. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．B 【导语】本文的主要内容是小王子在地球上的经历，以及他通过与蛇、玫瑰和狐狸的互动，逐渐理解爱与独特性的过程。 1．词句猜测题。根据“It means to build ties.”可知，tamed在此处不是字面上的驯服动物的意思，而是建立情感联系。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据“‘It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important,’ the fox told the little prince.”可知，狐狸告诉小王子正是他为玫瑰付出的时间使它变得重要，故小王子与狐狸相处的经历让他更加深刻地理解了玫瑰的价值。故选D。 3．主旨大意题。通读全文内容可知，本文主要讲述了小王子通过与蛇、玫瑰和狐狸的互动，逐渐理解爱与独特性的过程。故选B。 （25-26九年级上·江苏无锡·期中）You have probably seen many cartoons during your life. Some of these cartoons appear in newspapers and others are in books. Others are seen in full-length movies and TV shows. Cartoons are very popular with people but are they works of art? Works of art are made by artists for a certain purpose. Usually, works of art are made by people to illustrate an idea or show part of a story. You can probably think of many famous works of art, like the Mona Lisa or David. These works of art took a long time to create. The people who made them wanted to show an important idea about the subject of their art. When people think of works of art, they usually think of paintings or sculptures that are known to even people who know little about art. Year after year, people come to look at the Mona Lisa’s strange smile. The sculpture David is similar—a lot of people know the story of how David fought a giant. The sculpture shows David as a hero. Since most of us wish we were heroes, David interests us no matter who we are. Cartoons can be seen in the same way, since many people who draw cartoons go to art school and study how to create pictures and stories. They think carefully about what ideas or stories they want to show with their work. Cartoons have an advantage over the works of art you see in museums, too. People need to travel to museums to see famous works of art, but a cartoon is as near as the newspaper or the internet. Cartoons talk about ideas that are important to people in a simple and easy-to-understand way. Most people do not need to stare at a cartoon for a long time to understand its meaning. However, not everyone agrees with the idea that cartoons are art. For example, some cartoons tend to deal with very recent issues, such as political (政治的) cartoons that appear in newspapers. They show an important news item of the day. However, in a few years, the people who look at the cartoons may not know anything about that news item. This means that they will not understand what the cartoon is about. Additionally, some people argue that cartoons take less time to make than other works of art, so they are not true pieces of art. 1．Why do some people think cartoons are not works of art? A．Because they think cartoons take longer time to create. B．Because they think cartoons don’t have deep meanings. C．Because they think cartoons aren’t for people of all ages. D．Because they think some cartoons have no lasting value 2．What does the underlined word “advantage” mean in this passage? A．Something better. B．Something worse. C．Something equal. D．Something similar. 3．What can most possibly be the purpose of the passage? A．To introduce the steps of how cartoon artists create their works. B．To show different opinions on whether cartoons are works of art. C．To explain why people prefer artworks like paintings to cartoons. D．To share the reasons why cartoons are thought of as works of art. 4．The following sentence would best be placed at the end of _________. This makes it possible for cartoons to reach more people than most traditional art forms. A．Paragraph 1 B．Paragraph 2 C．Paragraph 3 D．Paragraph 4 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是议论文。主要围绕“卡通是否属于艺术品”这一话题展开论述，既阐述了支持卡通为艺术品的观点，也说明了部分人认为卡通不属于艺术品的理由。   1．细节理解题。根据“For example, some cartoons tend to deal with very recent issues... However, in a few years, the people who look at the cartoons may not know anything about that news item. This means that they will not understand what the cartoon is about. Additionally, some people argue that cartoons take less time to make than other works of art, so they are not true pieces of art”可知，部分人认为卡通不是艺术品的原因之一是有些卡通只涉及近期事件，缺乏持久价值，多年后人们可能因不了解相关背景而无法理解其含义；且有人认为卡通制作时间短。故选D。 2．词句猜测题。根据“People need to travel to museums to see famous works of art, but a cartoon is as near as the newspaper or the internet”可知，人们需前往博物馆才能看到著名艺术品，而卡通在报纸或互联网上就能轻易看到，这体现了卡通相较于博物馆艺术品的“优势”。“advantage”应表示“更好的事物、优势”，与“Something better”含义一致。故选A。 3．主旨大意题。文章第一段提出核心问题“Cartoons are very popular with people but are they works of art?”；第二段介绍艺术品的定义和特点；第三段阐述支持卡通为艺术品的理由；第四段说明反对卡通为艺术品的观点。由此可知，文章的核心目的是呈现关于“卡通是否为艺术品”的不同观点。故选B。 4．推理判断题。题干句子“This makes it possible for cartoons to reach more people than most traditional art forms”中的“this”应指代前文提到的“卡通易于获取”的特点。第三段提到“Cartoons have an advantage over the works of art you see in museums, too. People need to travel to museums to see famous works of art, but a cartoon is as near as the newspaper or the internet”，该内容正是“卡通易于获取”的体现，与题干句子构成逻辑衔接，使得其能接触到更多人。故选C。 （26-27九年级上·江苏无锡·阶段检测）For two months White Fang had lived among the men of the camp, and in that time he had learned much. He had learned that the man-animals were masters, that their voices were law, and that their hands were to be feared when they were raised in anger. But he had also learned that one man-animal, the boy who called himself Weedon Scott, was different. This man did not strike him, did not shout at him, and even brought him meat from his own plate. The other dogs of the camp hated White Fang with a bitter hatred. They were all half-wild curs, bred for fighting, and they saw in the lean, silent wolf-dog a rival who must be driven out or killed. Every day they gathered around him, snarling, snapping, daring him to fight. White Fang stood his ground, his lips drawn back over his white fangs, his eyes blazing with a cold, deadly light. He had fought too many fights in the wild to be cowed by a pack of yapping curs. One afternoon, as Weedon Scott sat on the ground cleaning his rifle, the big mastiff Skagos, the fiercest dog in the camp, crept up behind him. Skagos had been bribed by the other dogs to attack the boy, to drive the strange wolf-dog away by killing his protector. With a low growl, the great dog sprang, his jaws wide open to fasten on the boy's throat. White Fang was standing ten feet away, watching. In that instant, all the wild blood of his wolf-ancestors, all the cruel cunning of his mother Kiche, all the hard lessons of the wild, surged through him. He did not think, he did not hesitate. Like a bolt of gray lightning he launched himself across the space between them, his body striking Skagos in mid-leap. The two great beasts rolled over and over on the ground, snapping, tearing, growling. White Fang fought with a ferocity that none of the camp dogs had ever seen. He did not fight to drive his enemy away, but to kill. In less than a minute, he had seized Skagos by the throat and shaken him till his neck broke. The big mastiff lay still, and White Fang stood over him, his chest heaving, his fangs red with blood, looking at the boy who had fed him and been kind to him. Weedon Scott did not run, did not shout. He only reached out his hand and laid it on White Fang’s head. “Good boy,” he said softly. From that moment, a new thing came into White Fang’s life. For the first time in all his years, he knew what it meant to be loved. He curled up at the boy's feet that night, and for the first time he slept without one ear open, without listening for the sound of an enemy. He had found his master, and he would serve him, fight for him, die for him, all the days of his life. 1．Why does White Fang attack Skagos with all his strength? A．Skagos has made White Fang angry, trying to get the position of camp leader. B．Skagos is encouraged by other dogs to attack White Fang’s master Weedon Scott. C．White Fang wants to kill Skagos to prove he is the strongest dog in the camp. D．Skagos steals White Fang's food, and the two have long held the dislikes against each other. 2．Which of the following descriptions of Weedon Scott matches the passage? A．He is the only person in the camp brave enough to train White Fang, and often beats him to make him obey orders. B．Like other people in the camp, he thinks White Fang is a dangerous animal. C．He shares meat from his own plate with White Fang instead of beating him. D．He trains White Fang to take part in dog fighting matches, hoping to win prize money. 3．What is the final result of the fight between White Fang and Skagos? A．The two fight to a draw, and Skagos escapes with injuries. B．White Fang is bitten and injured by Skagos, and is finally saved only after Weedon Scott shoots Skagos. C．In less than a minute, White Fang bites through Skagos’s throat and kills him. D．Other camp dogs take advantage of the chaos to attack, and White Fang is beaten to death. 4．How does White Fang feel after the fight ends? A．He hates all humans and plans to find a chance to run away from the camp. B．For the first time, he experiences what it means to be loved. C．He thinks he has become the new leader of the camp. D．He begins to hate Weedon Scott for not stepping forward to help him drive Skagos away in time. 5．What role does the scene described in the passage play in the whole story of White Fang? A．It is a memory of White Fang’s childhood, when he lived with his mother Kiche in the forest. B．It’s the turning point where White Fang completely lets go of his wild nature and accepts human trust. C．It is the part where White Fang takes part in his first dog fighting match. D．It is the final ending of the story, where White Fang finally chooses to return to the wild. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．C 4．B 5．B 【导语】本文节选自小说《白牙》，讲述狼犬白牙为保护主人威登・斯科特，与獒犬斯卡格斯搏斗，此战之后白牙体会到被爱的感觉，是故事的转折点。 1．第三段指出“Skagos had been bribed by the other dogs to attack the boy, to drive the strange wolf-dog away by killing his protector.”，说明斯卡格斯受其他狗怂恿，要袭击白牙的主人威登・斯科特，这是白牙全力攻击斯卡格斯的原因。 2．第一段明确提到“But he had also learned that one man-animal, the boy who called himself Weedon Scott, was different. This man did not strike him, did not shout at him, and even brought him meat from his own plate.”，交代了威登・斯科特不会殴打白牙，还把自己盘子里的肉分给白牙。 3．第四段提到“In less than a minute, he had seized Skagos by the throat and shaken him till his neck broke.”，交代了搏斗的结局：不到一分钟，白牙咬住斯卡格斯的喉咙杀死了它。 4．第六段指出“From that moment, a new thing came into White Fang’s life. For the first time in all his years, he knew what it meant to be loved.”，说明战斗结束后，白牙第一次体会到被爱的感觉。 5． 通读全文可知，这场打斗之后白牙放下野性，接纳人类的信任，是整个故事的转折点。 （26-27九年级上·江苏无锡·阶段检测）Everyone has “down days” in life. On these days, people may feel low and unwilling to do anything. For teenagers, bad weather, failed exams, broken friendships or pressure from schoolwork can easily bring up such negative feelings. Usually, these bad feelings do not last long. Most teens can cheer themselves up by talking with friends, taking part in outdoor activities or focusing on new school tasks. Slowly, they will forget their troubles and return to their normal life. However, if a teenager keeps feeling sad, lonely and hopeless for more than two weeks, this is not a simple bad mood. It is a dangerous sign that needs careful attention from both parents and teachers. Growing up is a process of seeking independence. As teens grow older, they start to challenge rules and fight for more freedom. They complain about parents’ strict requirements and hope to make their own decisions in life. This is a natural and necessary step of growth, which shows that teenagers are developing self-awareness and want to be treated as adults. Many teenagers refuse their parents’ control openly, yet they still rely on their parents in many ways. This strange mix of independence desire and real dependence often causes parent-child disagreements and inner confusion for teens. In fact, teenage education is never a simple choice between strict rules and total freedom. The best family education lies in keeping a healthy balance between the two. Parents need to set clear and proper rules to guide their children’s behavior, helping them form good habits and sense of responsibility. At the same time, parents should be flexible and understanding. They must respect teens’ growing need for independence and personal space. It is common for teens to feel upset and angry when they have to ask for parents’ agreement to visit friends or join after-school activities, even though they wish to be fully independent. Parents should see such moods as normal growth pains instead of rude resistance. The US Department of Education has offered useful advice on teenage family education. It points out that parents should respect and support their children’s personal choices as long as these choices will not cause long-term harm to their study, health and future. Many daily choices of teenagers are totally harmless. The music they listen to, the clothes they wear and their personal hobbies may not fit parents’ taste, but these small choices will not affect their school performance or physical and mental health. In such situations, too much prevention will only make teens feel stressed and distance themselves from their parents. Still, freedom never means doing whatever one wants. When teenagers’ choices turn into risky or harmful behaviors, strict rules and proper punishment become necessary. For example, behaviors like drinking and driving, skipping school on purpose, staying out late or making friends with bad people will bring serious results. In such cases, parents must stop their children firmly and give clear punishment. This helps teens learn a basic life lesson: more freedom comes with more responsibilities, and wrong choices will lead to unavoidable bad results. This kind of boundary awareness plays a key role in teenagers’ long-term healthy development. 1．What does the underlined word “resistance” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．理解 B．抵触 C．服从 D．沉默 2．Which of the following is a normal teen growth-change according to the passage? A．Feeling sad for over three weeks continuously. B．Refusing schoolwork to relax oneself. C．Hoping to make personal decisions independently. D．Keeping away from all parent-child communication. 3．What can we infer from Paragraph 4? A．Parents’ personal taste should decide teens' life choices. B．Harmless personal hobbies should win parents’ respect. C．Teens’ daily choices will affect their school grades greatly. D．Parents should ignore all of their teens’ bad moods. 4．What is the writer’s idea towards teens’ harmful behaviors? A．Parents should take strict and firm actions. B．Parents should choose to understand and forgive. C．Teachers rather than parents should take charge. D．These behaviors are normal and need no care. 5．What can we infer from the passage? A．Teenagers’ ways to deal with daily down days. B．Too much freedom without rules may do harm to teens. C．Proper rules and freedom both matter to teens. D．Strict rules can make teenagers more excellent. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．A 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了青少年成长过程中的情绪变化、独立意识觉醒以及父母应如何在规则与自由之间保持平衡，旨在指导家长正确应对青少年的教育问题。 1．根据第三段“Parents should see such moods as normal growth pains instead of rude resistance.”可知，父母应将这种情绪视为正常的成长痛苦，而不是粗鲁的抵触行为，因此resistance意为“抵触”。 2．根据第二段“They complain about parents’ strict requirements and hope to make their own decisions in life.”可知，希望独自做出个人决定是青少年成长的自然步骤。 3．根据第四段“parents should respect and support their children’s personal choices... Many daily choices of teenagers are totally harmless.”可知，无害的个人爱好应赢得父母的尊重。 4．根据第五段“When teenagers’ choices turn into risky or harmful behaviors, strict rules and proper punishment become necessary.”可知，作者认为面对有害行为，父母应采取严格坚定的措施。 5．综合全文，特别是第三段“The best family education lies in keeping a healthy balance between the two.”及第五段内容可知，适当的规则和自由对青少年都很重要。 （25-26九年级上·江苏无锡·期中） Nowadays, more and more Chinese travelers, especially young people, are going beyond traditional sightseeing. They are looking for deeper connections and more personal experiences during their trips. This change shows a new travel idea that values the quality of experiences over how many places they visit, and real experience over checklist-style tourism. According to a recent report by China Youth Daily in May, deep and interesting “slow travel” (55.3%) and traveling on their own (52.3%) have become the most popular types among young Chinese travelers. The same report also says that visiting less famous attractions (41.9%) has become another popular choice, showing that more people prefer real experiences over crowded (拥挤的) tourist places. A good example comes from Quanzhou, Fujian, where college student Yan Ting purposely avoided popular tourist spots. She spent her days walking through the old town's small streets, watching locals make tea and talk with each other, and even joined older people to learn about nanyin—an old music tradition recognized by UNESCO as important cultural heritage. The idea of “slow travel” has also grown to include “volunteer tourism”, where travelers help with local community projects. In Qiandongnan, Guizhou, groups of young travelers worked together to help older villagers through different useful activities. They collected oral histories, recorded traditional needlework skills, and helped set up small online museums to save and show local cultural history. Thinking about her experience, Yan Ting shared: “I didn't want to just see famous places; I wanted to feel the real life here.” Her words explain the heart of this growing trend—a wish to go beyond surface-level tourism and build real connections with local communities and their way of living. These slow and meaningful experiences are truly changing for modern Chinese travelers. They show a basic change in travel values, where the quality of experience and depth of cultural understanding have become more important than just visiting many places. This way of traveling allows young people to return home with not just photos, but with lasting memories and real connections. 1．Why is nanyin mentioned in the passage? A．To prove it's the most popular attraction in Quanzhou. B．To explain why young people travel on their own. C．To encourage every tourist to learn this kind of music. D．To provide an example of deep cultural slow travel. 2．How does the writer develop the whole passage? A．By listing numbers to show the trend. B．By comparing advantages and disadvantages. C．By giving general ideas and supporting examples. D．By sharing all kinds of young people's travel stories. 3．The following sentence would be best placed at the beginning of ________. Unlike rushed tourists, many young travelers now prefer slow, cultural experiences. A．Paragraph 2 B．Paragraph 3 C．Paragraph 4 D．Paragraph 5 4．What can we learn about “volunteer tourism” from the text? A．It requires young people to be very strong. B．It is only about teaching in local schools. C．It helps travelers connect with local people and culture. D．It is the most popular travel style among young people. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文介绍了中国年轻旅行者的旅行理念发生转变，不再局限于传统观光，而是更青睐“慢旅行”“自助游”和探访小众景点，追求深度文化体验与当地真实联结。 1．细节理解题。根据“A good example comes from Quanzhou, Fujian, where college student Yan Ting purposely avoided popular tourist spots. She spent her days walking through the old town's small streets, watching locals make tea and talk with each other, and even joined older people to learn about nanyin—an old music tradition recognized by UNESCO as important cultural heritage.”可知，闫婷在泉州避开热门景点，学习被列为非物质文化遗产的南音，这一案例是为了佐证“慢旅行”中深度文化体验的特点。故选D。 2．推理判断题。文章开篇先提出“年轻旅行者追求深度体验”的核心观点，随后用中国青年报的调查数据支撑趋势，再通过泉州、黔东南的具体案例展开说明，最后总结这种旅行理念的意义，整体采用“总述观点+举例支撑”的行文逻辑。故选C。 3．推理判断题。题干句子“Unlike rushed tourists, many young travelers now prefer slow, cultural experiences.”，核心是引出“慢旅行”中的文化体验。第三段以严婷在泉州体验当地生活、学习南音为例，正是对“缓慢、注重文化的体验”的具体阐释，因此该句放在第三段开头最契合。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据第四段“volunteer tourism, where travelers help with local community projects”及后文提到的收集口述历史、记录传统技艺等活动，可知“志愿旅游”让旅行者参与当地社区项目，进而与当地人和文化建立联结。故选C。 （25-26九年级上·江苏无锡·期中）Most environmental pollution comes from humans and their inventions. The electric bulbs are thought to be one of the greatest human inventions of all time. However, too much of a good thing has started to influence the environment. Light pollution is influencing human health and wildlife behavior. There is a world-wide movement to reduce light pollution, and everyone can help. Light pollution problem became especially serious when the World Map of Night Sky Brightness was published in 2016. Large areas of North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia are glowing with light, while only Siberia, the Sahara, and the Amazon are in total darkness. Artificial (人造的) light can wreak havoc on natural body rhythms in both humans and animals. It interrupts sleep and confuses the circadian rhythm (生理节奏). An increased amount of light at night lowers melatonin (褪黑素) production, which results in less sleep, headaches, stress and other health problems. Blue light, in particular, has been shown to reduce levels of melatonin in humans. It is found in cell phones and other computer devices, as well as in LEDs, the kinds of bulbs that have become popular at home and in industrial and city lighting due to their low cost and energy efficiency. Studies show that light pollution is also influencing animal behaviors, such as migration (迁徙) patterns and habitat formation. Because of light pollution, sea turtles guided by moonlight during migration lose their way, and often die. Even animals living under the deep sea may be influenced by underwater artificial lighting. Studies show that the artificial light is changing ocean ecosystems. The good news is that light pollution is reversible (可逆的) and each one of us can make a difference! Now, many people are taking action to reduce light pollution and bring back the natural night sky. People are required to use outdoor lighting only when and where it is needed and to close window blinds, shades, and curtains at night to keep light inside. 1．What does the underlined phrase “wreak havoc on” in Para. 3 probably mean? A．Improve greatly. B．Keep well. C．Manage strictly. D．Damage seriously. 2．According to the passage, which would the author agree with? A．Light pollution was first studied as a problem in 2016. B．Deep-sea environment can help animals avoid light pollution. C．Artificial light influences the sense of direction of animals. D．LEDs can be used more because of low cost and energy efficiency. 3．What is the author’s attitude towards the control of light pollution? A．Uncertain. B．Doubtful. C．Worried. D．Hopeful. 4．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To call on people to reduce light pollution. B．To discuss good and bad points of artificial light. C．To give advice to protect the environment. D．To show future development of artificial light. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了人类过度使用灯光导致光污染，对环境、人类的健康和野生动物的健康产生负面影响，还影响动物迁徙模式和栖息地形成等行为。号召人类采取行动减少光污染，恢复自然夜空。 1．词句猜测题。根据“Artificial (人造的) light can wreak havoc on natural body rhythms in both humans and animals. It interrupts sleep and confuses the circadian rhythm”可知，人造光扰乱睡眠、打乱生理节奏，因此可知人造光对对自然生理节奏有严重破坏作用，划线单词表示“严重破坏”。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据“Because of light pollution, sea turtles guided by moonlight during migration lose their way, and often die.”可知，由于光污染，依靠月光迁徙的海龟会迷路，因此作者赞同“人造光影响动物的方向感”的观点。故选C。 3．观点态度题。根据“The good news is that light pollution is reversible (可逆的) and each one of us can make a difference! Now, many people are taking action to reduce light pollution and bring back the natural night sky.”可知，作者认为光污染可逆，人们能有所作为，现在很多人已在行动，所以作者对光污染控制持乐观态度。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。本文通过分析光污染的危害，旨在呼吁人们采取行动减少光污染。故选A。 四、任务型阅读 （25-26九年级上·江苏无锡·期中）阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容回答问题，每小题答案不超过10个单词。 For Chen Sheng, a young man in Meitan, Guizhou province, caring for the elderly is more than a job—it’s a calling in his heart. Chen Sheng was raised by his grandparents, and his dream was to take care of more elderly people. After graduating in 2017 with a degree in healthcare, Chen Sheng chose to work in a nursing home. In his early working days, what he met was more difficult than expected. He got up at 6 a.m. to help with morning tasks. He provided full bedside care, especially for the elderly who had to stay in bed all the time. Often, his day didn’t end until 11 p.m. He wanted to give up the job at first, but after a period, he received the warmth and trust from the elderly and he changed his mind. Using his medical knowledge, Chen Sheng takes care of the elderly in a proper way, including physical examination, health guidance, advice on food and so on. “I arrived at the nursing home with lots of illnesses and could only lie in bed. After two months of good medical care by Chen Sheng, I was able to walk again by myself. Life here is very convenient, from satisfying daily services to good medical care, just like at home,” said Grandpa Li. Besides medical care, Chen Sheng also gives emotional (情感的) support. He always offers comfort in time when a grandpa or a grandma is upset. Grandma Sun likes to talk with Chen Sheng every day and always shares the things she considers valuable. Grandma Sun feels warm and happy because of Chen Sheng. Her family thanks him for his patience and great love. As the needs for elderly care continue to grow, more and more young people, including those born after 2000, have come to work in the nursing home. They are making every effort to take good care of the elderly and make them live a happy life. 1．When did Chen Sheng work in a nursing home? 2．Why did Chen Sheng change his mind about giving up the job? 3．What happened to Grandpa Li after Chen Sheng took care of him for two months? 4．What two types of care does Chen Sheng provide for the elderly? 5．Why is Chen Sheng’s work valuable according to the passage? 【答案】1．In 2./After graduating./After graduating in 3./He worked in a nursing home after graduating in 4. 5．Because he received the warmth and trust from the elderly./Because of the warmth and trust from the elderly. 6．He was able to walk again by himself. 7．Medical care and emotional support./He provides medical care and emotional support for the elderly. 8．Because he helps the elderly live happy lives./Because it helps the elderly live happy lives./Because he can bring warmth to the elderly. 【导语】本文主要讲述了贵州青年陈胜毕业后选择在养老院工作，用心照顾老人并获得信任与感激的故事。 1．文章第1段“After graduating in 2017 with a degree in healthcare, Chen Sheng chose to work in a nursing home.”表明陈胜是在2017年毕业后开始在养老院工作的。答案为原文信息。 2．文章第2段“he received the warmth and trust from the elderly and he changed his mind.”表明陈胜改变主意是因为他收到了来自老人的温暖和信任。答案为原文信息。 3．文章第3段“After two months of good medical care by Chen Sheng, I was able to walk again by myself.”表明在陈胜照顾两个月后，李爷爷能够自己走路了。答案为原文信息。 4．文章第4段“Besides medical care, Chen Sheng also gives emotional support.”表明陈胜提供了医疗护理和情感支持两种类型的照顾。答案为原文信息。 5．文章第5段“They are making every effort to take good care of the elderly and make them live a happy life.”表明陈胜的工作之所以有价值，是因为他帮助老人过上了幸福的生活。答案几乎为原文信息，整合引述。 （25-26九年级上·江苏无锡·期中）They say you can’t have too much of a good thing, but according to a new study, maybe you can! Researchers from the University of Toronto in Canada found that people are feeling more bored than before, even though there are endless types of entertainment available. Could this endless entertainment actually be causing increased feelings of boredom? Possibly, the researchers say. In their study, published in Communications Psychology, Katy Tam and Michael Inzlicht looked at data from 2009 to 2020. They also looked at the relationship between digital media and reported feelings of boredom. They found that people are reporting higher levels of boredom than before, with young people and college students feeling bored more often. Many people reported feelings of boredom after engaging with digital media, leading Tam and Inzlicht to believe that this type of entertainment is increasing feelings of boredom. Digital media, they explain, is highly stimulating(令人兴奋的), which could cause people to be less interested in activities with lower stimulation, like reading a book. And with technology offering so many distractions, people find it more difficult to focus on a single activity and take enjoyment from it, the researchers added. There’s also so much information available online that people often engage with quick, unrelated pieces of media instead of longer, more meaningful information, which can leave people feeling unsatisfied and bored. The researchers said we may need to become more comfortable with feeling bored——since not everything in life is meant to be constantly interesting! 1．What did researchers from the University of Toronto in Canada find? 2．How many years of data did researchers Katy Tam and Michael Inzlicht study? 3．Who feels bored more often than before, according to the study? 4．Why do people find it more difficult to focus on a single activity? 5．What can you learn from this passage? 【答案】1．People are feeling more bored than before. 2．12 years. 3．Young people and college students. 4．Because technology is offering so many distractions. 5．We should learn to be comfortable with boredom. 【导语】本文介绍了多伦多大学的一项研究：尽管娱乐方式层出不穷，人们却比以前更易感到无聊，数字媒体的过度使用是主要原因之一。 1．原文第二段明确指出，研究者发现 people are feeling more bored than before, even though there are endless types of entertainment available。 2．原文第三段提到研究数据时间为 from 2009 to 2020，计算可得共12年。 3．原文第三段直接说明 young people and college students feeling bored more often。 4．原文第五段提到 with technology offering so many distractions, people find it more difficult to focus on a single activity。 5．开放性试题，可结合文章主旨总结。 （25-26九年级上·江苏无锡·期中）阅读下面短文，然后根据短文内容回答问题，并将答案写在答题卡对应题号的横线上。每小题答案不超过10个单词。 Have you ever noticed small details that others miss? Do you often think deeply about things? If so, you might be one of the Highly Sensitive (敏感) People (HSP). Research shows that about 30% of people are born with this special feature. It is not a weakness or a flaw—it is actually a unique gift that allows you to experience the world in a deeper way. Highly sensitive people process information more thoroughly than others. They often notice subtle textures, unspoken emotions, and creative ideas that many might overlook. This quality brings many advantages. The most well-known is creativity. In fact, many famous artists, musicians, and scientists are highly sensitive. Charles Darwin, for example, used his careful observation and deep thinking to develop the theory of evolution. Besides creativity, sensitive people are also good at decision-making. Studies have found that they perform better in tasks that require them to recognize patterns and make thoughtful choices. Another important advantage is the “Boost Effect”. It means that highly sensitive people benefit (获益) more from training, support, and positive environments. For example, in marriage counseling programs, sensitive couples showed greater improvement and higher joy after receiving guidance. For students who are highly sensitive, this feature can be a powerful tool in learning. They often benefit from quiet study environments, detailed instructions, and opportunities to reflect deeply on what they learn. Teachers can help by offering encouragement and allowing them to express their ideas in creative ways. By using their sensitivity, these students can achieve better understanding and remaining of knowledge. You cannot change your natural sensitivity, nor should you try to hide it. The best way is to accept it and use it as a strength. Learn to appreciate your deep feeling and careful thinking. Show your true self to the world. Whether in study or in life, sensitivity is not a burden— it is a gift waiting to be opened. 1．What percentage of people are highly sensitive? 2．What are the important advantages of sensitive people? 3．Why are sensitive people good at making decisions? 4．How can teachers help highly sensitive students? 5．What should sensitive students do to make better use of their gift? 【答案】1．About 30%. 2．Creativity, good decision-making and “Boost Effect”. 3．They recognize patterns and make thoughtful choices. 4．Offer encouragement and allow them to express ideas creatively. 5．Accept it and use it as a strength. 【导语】本文讲高度敏感的人天生具备的敏感性不是缺点，而是一种独特的天赋 —— 它能让人拥有更强的创造力、决策力和“助推效应”。人们无需改变或隐藏这种特质，而应接受并善用它，让敏感性成为自身的力量。 1．根据第一段的“Research shows that about 30% of people are born with this special feature.”可知，大约30%的人天生具有这种高敏感性。故填About 30%. 2．根据第二、三两段的“The most well-known is creativity.”,“Besides creativity, sensitive people are also good at decision-making.”和“Another important advantage is the “Boost Effect”.”可知，高敏感性能让人拥有更强的创造力、决策力和“助推效应”。故填Creativity, good decision-making and “Boost Effect”. 3．根据第三段的“Studies have found that they perform better in tasks that require them to recognize patterns and make thoughtful choices.”可知，高度敏感的人能识别规律并做出深思熟虑选择。故填They recognize patterns and make thoughtful choices. 4．根据第四段的“Teachers can help by offering encouragement and allowing them to express their ideas in creative ways.”可知，老师通过鼓励和允许这些高度敏感的学生创造性自我表达来帮助他们。故填Offer encouragement and allow them to express ideas creatively. 5．根据第五段的“The best way is to accept it and use it as a strength.”可知，高度敏感的人要接受这种特质并将其当成一种优势。故填Accept it and use it as a strength. 五、书面表达 1．（25-26九年级上·江苏无锡·期中）每个人心中都有一个想感谢的人。近日，无锡教育电视台将举办题为“The person I’d like to thank”的英文演讲比赛，邀请全市中学生参赛。假设你是李华，请根据以下流程图完成演讲稿。 Dear teachers and classmates, I’m Li Hua.
