Instead, we say “Could you please give me the menu?” or “May I have the menu, please?” When you are in a new place, knowing how to ask for directions matters. “Excuse me, could you tell me where the nearest subway station is?” sounds much better than “Where’s the subway?” Native speakers also like indirect questions because they show respect. Besides, different places have different customs. In some countries, it is rude to ask “Why?” directly. In others, people enjoy explaining things. So good learners not only learn words, but also learn the culture behind the words. 11. What is the passage mainly about? A. How to cook Western food. B. Polite requests and cultural differences in asking. C. How to buy a train ticket online. 12. Which sentence is polite? A. “Hey, tell me the way.” B. “Could you please tell me where the restroom is?” C. “Give me your phone.” 13. Why do native speakers like indirect questions? A. Because they are shorter. B. Because they show respect. C. Because they are easier to write. 14. What does the writer advise learners to do? A. Only remember vocabulary lists. B. Learn both words and the culture behind them. C. Never ask strangers for help. B Han Mei is a Grade 9 student. She kept a small diary about her changes. Three years ago: I was short and quiet. I was afraid of speaking English in class. After school, I went home directly and read picture books. I disliked sports and ate snacks while watching TV. Now: I am much taller. I join the English club and often retell stories. I used to hate running, but now I run with my classmates twice a week. My eating habits changed too — more fruit, less junk food. My mother says, “You used to be a quiet mouse, but now you are like a little sun.” Han Mei writes, “Changes are not always easy. But if you take one small step, the future you can surprise yourself.” 15. What was Han Mei afraid of three years ago? A. Speaking English in class. B. Eating fruit. C. Running in the park. 16. How often does Han Mei run now? A. Every day. B. Twice a week. C. Once a month. 17. The underlined sentence “now you are like a little sun” means ________. A. she becomes bright and lively B. she likes the color yellow C. she studies under the sun 18. What can we learn from Han Mei’s diary? A. Everyone should change quickly. B. Small steps can bring surprising changes. C. Picture books are only for little kids. C Mr. Lin teaches geography. When he was a boy, he lived in a mountain village. There was only one small shop and no bookstore. Children walked two hours to get to school. If they needed a dictionary, they borrowed it from the teacher. Years later, Mr. Lin came back as a teacher. The village has a new reading room, a bus stop, and even free Wi-Fi in the school library. “I used to write letters to my cousin,” he says. “Now my students send voice messages and search for maps online.” But Mr. Lin also warns, “Convenient tools are good, but they can’t replace real curiosity. A phone shows you the world, but only your own questions make you think.” 19. How did children get a dictionary in the old days? A. They bought one in the shop. B. They borrowed it from the teacher. C. They downloaded it online. 20. What does Mr. Lin think of modern tools? A. They are useless. B. They are helpful but cannot replace real curiosity. C. They should be banned in schools. 21. The phrase “send voice messages” is closest in meaning to ________. A. post letters by hand B. speak and send the sound by phone C. write long articles 22. What is the best title? A. A Village Teacher’s Past and Present B. How to Use Wi-Fi C. Why Mountains Are Beautiful D Many students say, “I used to hate memorizing words.” But memory researchers say the problem is not the brain — it is the method. First, connect a new word with a picture. If you learn “bridge”, picture a red bridge, not just the Chinese meaning. Second, meet the word many times in real sentences. Third, say it aloud and use it in your own life: “The bridge near my school is old.” Interestingly, the same rule works for changing habits. You used to snack late at night? Don’t stop suddenly and feel sad. Replace it: drink warm milk, write a diary, or walk for five minutes. The brain loves new routes, not just “don’t do that”. So learning and growing have one thing in common: small, repeated, meaningful practice beats shouting at yourself to “try harder”. 23. According to the passage, the real problem with memorizing words is often ________. A. the brain B. the method C. the teacher 24. What should you do when learning the word “bridge”? A. Only write its Chinese meaning ten times. B. Picture a red bridge and use it in a sentence. C. Never say it aloud. 25. If you used to snack late at night, the writer suggests ________. A. stopping suddenly and feeling guilty B. replacing the habit with a healthier one C. eating more snacks 26. What common rule do learning and habit-changing share? A. Shout at yourself to try harder. B. Small, repeated, meaningful practice works. C. Never review old things. 第二节 补全短文 阅读短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Asking politely and describing changes are two big themes in Grade 9 English. 27______ For example, “Could you please tell me where the museum is?” is an indirect request.

Instead, she asked me a tiny question first: “What 33______ do you like best, red, blue or green?” That small choice made me feel safe. Then she said, “Tomorrow we will paint a wall together. Would you like to 34______ the brushes?” I nodded. The next day, I held the brush, but my hand shook. She smiled and put her hand on mine. “Don’t worry. A wall is just a big 35______. If you make a mistake, we paint again.” Week by week, I spoke more. I 36______ talked to five classmates in Grade 7; now I can stand on the stage. My old self was quiet, 37______ the new me likes sharing ideas. Last month, someone asked, “Who helped you change?” I pointed to her photo. “She never pushed me.

Lily put up two photos: one of a little girl hiding behind her mother, and one of a student hosting the English festival. “I used to be terrified of microphones,” she wrote. “Last month, I asked a visitor politely: ‘Could you please tell me how you practice pronunciation?’ That question changed me. I realized polite English is not just grammar — it is a bridge.” Other students wrote about their hometowns: old narrow paths → wide sidewalks; small village shop → supermarket with a reading corner.

He seldom talked to strangers and spent most of his time playing video games alone. But now he is tall and active. He joins the school basketball team and makes friends easily. Last Sunday, a tourist stopped me on the street. He looked worried. I walked up and said, "Excuse me, could you please tell me if you need any help?" He asked me how to get to the museum. I gave him clear directions politely. He thanked me with a big smile. These small changes and brave tries make me happy. I learn that being polite opens doors, and people can grow in surprising ways. I want to keep changing for the better. 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
