吉林市第九中学2026-2027学年度上学期期中测试 九年级英语 一、语言知识运用(共35分) I.从每小题所给的三个选项中，选出一个正确答案。(5分) 1. It is necessary ________ everyone ________ the traffic rules to keep safe. A. for; to follow B. of; to follow C. of; follow 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：为了保持安全，对每个人来说遵守交通规则是有必要的。 固定句型“It is+adj. + for/of sb.+to do sth.”。形容词necessary描述的是事情本身，介词用for；该句型中真正的主语是动词不定式，第二空用to follow。故选A。 2. —Where is Lucy? —She ________ the teachers’ office. She will be back in a minute. A. has been to B. has gone to C. went to 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——Lucy在哪里？——她去老师办公室了，一分钟后回来。 has been to去过某地(已经回来)；has gone to去了某地(还未回来)；went to去了(一般过去时)。根据“She will be back in a minute.”可知Lucy此刻不在此处，还没有回来，所以选has gone to。 3. —I hear that your good friend David ________ books about history. —Yes, but now he ________ novels about amazing natural wonders. A. used to read; is used to reading B. is used to reading; is used to reading C. is used to read; used to read 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我听说你的好朋友大卫过去常常读关于历史的书。——是的，但现在他习惯于读关于神奇自然奇观的小说了。 used to do sth.过去常常做某事，be used to doing sth.习惯于做某事，be used to do被用来做某事。根据答语中的“but now”可知，前后形成对比，第一空描述过去的习惯，应用used to read；第二空描述现在的状态，应用is used to reading。 4. Some students easily ________ similar English words and make mistakes in exams. A. come across B. mix up C. run out 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：有些学生很容易混淆相似的英语单词，并在考试中犯错。 come across偶然遇到/发现；mix up混淆/弄混；run out用完/耗尽。“similar English words and make mistakes in exams”提示学生把相似的单词搞混了，mix up符合语境。 5. —My grandparents will give me a red packet after my graduation! —I wonder ________. A. how much money have you got B. what you bought with the money C. if you will give it to your parents 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我毕业后祖父母会给我一个红包！——我想知道你是否会把它给你的父母。 how much money have you got你得到了多少钱，疑问语序；what you bought with the money你用这些钱买了什么，陈述语序；if you will give it to your parents你是否会把它给你的父母，陈述语序。根据“I wonder”可知此处为宾语从句，应用陈述语序，且毕业红包是将来才会得到，应用一般将来时，应填if you will give it to your parents。 II. (5分) 从文后选择正确选项，其中有一个选项与对话内容无关。 A: Hi, Li Hua. Our English class is having a discussion about a community with a shared future for mankind.

What does a community with a shared future for mankind mean exactly? F. Many countries are now trying to develop new energy to deal with climate change. 【答案】6. E 7. C 8. D 9. B 10.

We don't have to do something great.”，引出具体行动。 【9题详解】 A说“We don’t have to do something great.”，接着应补充说明日常小行动的意义。B项“Small actions from every student can add up.”与后文“We can save resources and show respect for foreign cultures.”形成递进，说明小行动可以积累并落到实处。 【10题详解】 A说“I think we should keep trying to make a difference.”，B回应“If more teenagers take part, we will see better changes.”，中间缺一个表示赞同的句子。A项“I agree with you.”自然衔接，表达对A观点的认同，并引出后续的展望。 Ⅲ.

But now, many visitors are doing the opposite thing: they travel north, running after the cold and going straight into ice and snow. On Chinese social media, it has a name: “being exiled (流放) to Ningguta”. In many TV shows about ancient China, prisoners (囚犯) are often exiled to Ningguta as a serious punishment. In reality, Ningguta was a historical place in the present-day city of Mudanjiang, Northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province. From 1655, it became a faraway and scary place where prisoners were sent. Life there was very hard because of its freezing weather. Today, however, Ningguta’s freezing weather has become its biggest attraction. In places like the Changbai Mountains, temperatures can drop to -20℃. Travellers put on thick coats and take sled rides — just long enough to feel the “Ningguta cold”. Some places even offer playful activities where visitors wear “prisoner coats” to act out the old exile stories. This new kind of travel has brought about many reviews online. One traveller said, “I learned history and had fun. It was worth all the money.” Another said, “The adventure was great. I am willing to pay for it again.” Its popularity has also greatly benefited local areas. It turns the “cold” into “hot business”, creating jobs and supporting local businesses. In this aspect, what was once a place of suffering now brings new chances to the people who live there. 41. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. Travelling to warm places in winter. B. A famous Chinese social media platform. C. The name of a popular online activity. D. Travelling north for ice and snow in winter. 42. What is the purpose of Paragraph 2? A. To bring out Ningguta’s past. B. To show the life of ancient prisoners. C. To praise TV shows in China. D. To introduce the weather of Ningguta. 43. What has changed the most about Ningguta? A. Its name in history. B. Its meaning for people. C. Its weather in winter. D. Its location on the map. 44. How have people felt about “Ningguta-style” travel according to the reviews? A. Strange. B. Dangerous. C. Enjoyable. D. Expensive. 45. What benefit of “Ningguta-style” travel is shown in the last paragraph? A. It improves the local economy. B. It inspires more people to move to Heilongjiang. C. It brings about government support. D. It helps more people know about Chinese history. 【答案】41. D 42. A 43. B 44. C 45. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲了现在流行“流放宁古塔”式冰雪北行旅游，曾经的古代流放苦寒之地宁古塔，如今借冰雪旅游吸引游客，带动当地经济发展。 【41题详解】 第一段描述：they travel north, running after the cold and going straight into ice and snow. On Chinese social media, it has a name: “being exiled to Ningguta”. 代词it指代前面这件冬天向北去冰雪之地旅行的事。 【42题详解】 第二段介绍：Ningguta在古代是流放犯人的地方，环境严酷。本段是介绍宁古塔过去的历史背景。 【43题详解】 文中对比：古代这里是受苦流放之地，如今寒冷变成旅游吸引力，给当地人带来新机遇。它的地理位置、天气没变，是对人们的意义发生改变。 【44题详解】 第四段游客评价：“I learned history and had fun. It was worth all the money.”“The adventure was great. I am willing to pay for it again.”，能看出游客觉得这次旅行令人愉快。 【45题详解】 最后一段写到：It turns the “cold” into “hot business”, creating jobs and supporting local businesses. 说明这种旅游带动当地商业、创造岗位，改善当地经济。 (C) One day a professor (教授) entered the classroom and told the students they would have an examination in a moment. Then the professor gave out the papers. But the students were confused (困惑的) because there was nothing but just a black dot (点) in the center of the paper. The professor noticed their expressions and told them, “I want you to write about what you see.” Although the students were still confused, they started writing. At the end of the class, the professor took all the answer sheets (页) and started reading the answers in front of the students. All of them described the black dot and tried to explain its position and something like that. After the professor finished reading, the whole class was silent. They were all worried that they failed the exam. The professor began to explain, “Don’t worry. I am not going to give you grades for this. I just want you to think about something. Here everybody focused on the black dot instead of the white paper. It is the same as what we do in our lives. The white paper is just like our whole life and the black dot is the problems we face every day. We just care too much about things like a lack (缺乏) of money for beautiful clothes, but we seldom see that these problems are very small compared with our whole life. We should remember that there are more valuable things in life.” We all live only once. So we should focus attention on the truly valuable things. 根据短文内容判断正、误，正确的涂“A”，错误的涂“B”。 46. The professor told the students to describe the black dot on the paper. 47. The students kept silent because they were worried about their grades. 48. The professor was angry and he thought nobody should get grades. 49. The professor wanted to teach the students to think about something by having this examination. 50. The story tells us to focus on problems in life rather than care about the more valuable things. 【答案】46. B 47. A 48. B 49. A 50. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一个教授在课堂上进行的一次特殊考试的故事，传达了一个深刻的生活哲理：在生活中我们应该关注真正有价值的事情，而不是被日常的小问题所困扰。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But the students were confused because there was nothing but just a black dot in the center of the paper. The professor noticed their expressions and told them, ‘I want you to write about what you see.’”可知，发给学生的白纸中间一个黑点，教授让学生把他们把看到的写下来；题干“教授让学生们描述纸上的黑点。”与原文不符，因为学生看到的应该是白纸以及中间的黑点，也就是说学生既可以描述有关白纸的内容，也可以描述有关黑点的内容。故填B。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“After the professor finished reading, the whole class was silent. They were all worried that they failed the exam.”可知，教授读完后，全班鸦雀无声，他们都担心考试不及格；题干“学生们保持沉默，因为他们担心自己的成绩。”与原文相符。故填A。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Don’t worry. I am not going to give you grades for this.”可知，教授让孩子们别担心，他不会因此给孩子们打分；题干“教授很生气，他认为没有人应该得到分数。”与原文不符。故选B。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“I just want you to think about something.”可知，教授确实想通过这次考试让学生思考某些东西；题干“教授想通过这次考试教会学生思考一些事情。”与原文相符。故填A。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。综合全文，尤其是根据第三段“We just care too much about things like a lack of money for beautiful clothes, but we seldom see that these problems are very small compared with our whole life. We should remember that there are more valuable things in life.”可知，文章的主旨是鼓励我们关注生活中更有价值的事情，而不是被小问题所困扰，教授通过黑点和白纸的比喻，强调了这一点；题干“这个故事告诉我们要关注生活中的问题，而不是关心更有价值的东西。”与原文不符。故填B。 (D) Have you ever wondered where a memory goes when you learn something new? The answer lies in your brain. Learning isn’t magic. ___51___ Imagine your brain is a forest. When you learn something for the first time, it’s like walking through the grass and creating a new path (小路). If you only walk that path once, the grass will spring back (恢复原状). ___52___ This is what happens when you forget. But if you walk the same path again and again—by practising a math problem, reviewing vocabulary, or playing a song on the piano, the path will be clear, wide, and lasting. It becomes a road. In your brain, these “roads” are real connections between brain cells called neurons (神经元). The more you use a connection, the stronger it gets. ___53___ This term comes from two words: “neuro” (related to the brain) and “plasticity” (the ability to change)—which means your brain is “plastic”. What makes these connections strong? There are two key factors (因素) involved. One factor is focusing. ___54___ Your brain lets out a chemical that acts like “glue” (胶水) when you pay close attention. It can make the new connection stronger. And while you sleep, your brain is busy replaying the day’s learning and using the new roads repeatedly. So a good night’s sleep isn’t lazy. It’s the other factor that makes the connection stronger. ___55___ Every time you learn something new, your brain actually grows and forms new connections. So learning isn’t just about trying hard—it’s about knowing how your brain works and using that to make new knowledge stick. 根据短文内容，从下面的选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整，其中有一个选项是多余的。 A. The path will disappear. B. Brain science is an amazing kind of life science. C. Instead, if you use more, the roads then will be clear. D. It’s a physical process that changes your brain’s structure (结构). E. It requires you to put all your attention on what you’re learning. F. There’s a special term scientists use to describe brain change. 【答案】51. D 52. A 53. F 54. E 55.

Don’t worry. You can train your brain. Here are three useful techniques. To start with, sleep well. Sleep is to the brain what fuel is to an engine. Without enough sleep, your memory gets tired and wears out easily. Scientists find that people who sleep well are more likely to remember new things the next day. Second, use pictures. Your brain reacts better to images than to long word lists. When you read a passage, try to draw a graph or organize the main ideas as a chain of pictures, or make an outline before you start. When you retell the story with the pictures, you will understand and remember it fully. This is an effective technique to boost both your short-term and long-term memory. Third, put small tools to good use. Keep a small notebook in a fixed position, for example, by your bed. Tick off each task after you finish it, and review your notes in your free time, for example, when you are waiting in line at the mall. You can keep important information, such as addresses, passwords and your bank account number, in the notebook. In this case, even if one day you forget a password, you can find it there. These little habits can also reduce anxiety before exams and help increase your memory power. There is no one-size-fits-all way to improve memory, so break the tips into small steps and try them one by one. In the writer's view, a good memory starts with good daily habits. 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 62. According to the passage, what is sleep to the brain? _____________________________________________________________ 63. What should you do when you read a passage? _____________________________________________________________ 64. Where can you keep a small notebook? _____________________________________________________________ 65.

We should draw a graph or organize the main ideas as a chain of pictures or make an outline before I start. 64. In a fixed position, for example, by my bed. 65. Anxiety. 66. Three useful techniques to improve our memory. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了三种训练大脑、提高记忆力的实用技巧。 【62题详解】 原文第二段提到“Sleep is to the brain what fuel is to an engine.”，因此睡眠对大脑的作用就像燃料。 【63题详解】 原文第三段提到“When you read a passage, try to draw a graph or organize the main ideas as a chain of pictures, or make an outline before you start.”，因此读文章时应尝试画图表、组织图片或列提纲。 【64题详解】 原文第四段提到“Keep a small notebook in a fixed position, for example, by your bed.”，因此可以把小笔记本放在床边等固定位置。 【65题详解】 原文第四段提到“These little habits can also reduce anxiety before exams”，因此这些小习惯可以减少考试前的焦虑。 【66题详解】 通读全文，文章主要介绍了三种改善记忆力的技巧。 三、写作(15分) VII.根据要求，完成写作。 67. 步入九年级，紧凑的学习节奏让我们学会高效规划，在挑战中沉淀知识，在坚持中磨炼意志，收获满满的成长。请以“The Changes That Have Taken Place in Me”为题讲述你的成长故事与感悟。 内容提示： 1.刚升入初中时自己的学习状态与遇到的困难； 2.一位你敬佩的人带给你的影响，你发生的变化（学习、心态等）； 3.你掌握的学习方法以及对九年级学习生活的期待。 要求： 1.词数100左右； 2.要点齐全，语句通顺，逻辑连贯，书写规范； 3.文中不得出现真实的人名、校名。 The Changes That Have Taken Place in Me ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 The Changes That Have Taken Place in Me When I first entered junior high school, I felt nervous and had trouble with my studies.

Here are four AI tools that can make your learning smarter and easier. Tool What it can do PaintMind Do you find it hard to remember things only with words? PaintMind can turn what you read into colorful pictures. Type in “a rainforest in South America”, and it will draw one for you in seconds. Many students say pictures help them remember better than plain text. WordHelper This tool checks your English writing. It finds grammar and spelling mistakes and explains why they are wrong. It is especially good at catching the mistakes that Chinese learners often make, such as missing articles (冠词) like “a” and “the”. NoteFlash NoteFlash turns your class notes into small quizzes (小测验). After school, it asks you three or five questions about what you learned in the morning. Scientists say reviewing soon after learning helps move information into long-term memory. SpeakMate SpeakMate talks with you like a real person. It listens to your pronunciation and corrects you at once. You can practise daily conversations with it, or get ready for a listening test. These tools are fun and helpful. But remember: AI is a helper, not a replacer. Always think with your own brain first. 根据以上内容，选择正确答案。 36. According to the passage, NoteFlash helps students ________. A. draw pictures from words B. review lessons soon after class C. correct their pronunciation D. write emails more quickly 37. If Wang Lin wants to know why he often misses articles in his English writing, he should use ________. A. PaintMind B. WordHelper C. NoteFlash D. SpeakMate 38. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. PaintMind can draw a picture in a short time. B. NoteFlash gives students long reading texts. C. SpeakMate only works for listening tests. D. WordHelper writes compositions for students. 39. What does the writer advise students to do in the last paragraph? A. Use AI tools for every subject. B. Buy the four tools as soon as possible. C. Stop using AI tools at school. D. Think with their own brains first. 40. In which part of a school website can we probably read this passage? A. Sports News. B. Travel Guide. C. Smart Study. D. School Notices. (B) In the past, people preferred to travel to warm places in winter. But now, many visitors are doing the opposite thing: they travel north, running after the cold and going straight into ice and snow. On Chinese social media, it has a name: “being exiled (流放) to Ningguta”. In many TV shows about ancient China, prisoners (囚犯) are often exiled to Ningguta as a serious punishment. In reality, Ningguta was a historical place in the present-day city of Mudanjiang, Northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province. From 1655, it became a faraway and scary place where prisoners were sent. Life there was very hard because of its freezing weather. Today, however, Ningguta’s freezing weather has become its biggest attraction. In places like the Changbai Mountains, temperatures can drop to -20℃. Travellers put on thick coats and take sled rides — just long enough to feel the “Ningguta cold”. Some places even offer playful activities where visitors wear “prisoner coats” to act out the old exile stories. This new kind of travel has brought about many reviews online. One traveller said, “I learned history and had fun. It was worth all the money.” Another said, “The adventure was great. I am willing to pay for it again.” Its popularity has also greatly benefited local areas. It turns the “cold” into “hot business”, creating jobs and supporting local businesses. In this aspect, what was once a place of suffering now brings new chances to the people who live there. 41. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. Travelling to warm places in winter. B. A famous Chinese social media platform. C. The name of a popular online activity. D. Travelling north for ice and snow in winter. 42. What is the purpose of Paragraph 2? A. To bring out Ningguta’s past. B. To show the life of ancient prisoners. C. To praise TV shows in China. D. To introduce the weather of Ningguta. 43. What has changed the most about Ningguta? A. Its name in history. B. Its meaning for people. C. Its weather in winter. D. Its location on the map. 44. How have people felt about “Ningguta-style” travel according to the reviews? A. Strange. B. Dangerous. C. Enjoyable. D. Expensive. 45. What benefit of “Ningguta-style” travel is shown in the last paragraph? A. It improves the local economy. B. It inspires more people to move to Heilongjiang. C. It brings about government support. D. It helps more people know about Chinese history. (C) One day a professor (教授) entered the classroom and told the students they would have an examination in a moment. Then the professor gave out the papers. But the students were confused (困惑的) because there was nothing but just a black dot (点) in the center of the paper. The professor noticed their expressions and told them, “I want you to write about what you see.” Although the students were still confused, they started writing. At the end of the class, the professor took all the answer sheets (页) and started reading the answers in front of the students. All of them described the black dot and tried to explain its position and something like that. After the professor finished reading, the whole class was silent. They were all worried that they failed the exam. The professor began to explain, “Don’t worry. I am not going to give you grades for this. I just want you to think about something. Here everybody focused on the black dot instead of the white paper. It is the same as what we do in our lives. The white paper is just like our whole life and the black dot is the problems we face every day. We just care too much about things like a lack (缺乏) of money for beautiful clothes, but we seldom see that these problems are very small compared with our whole life. We should remember that there are more valuable things in life.” We all live only once. So we should focus attention on the truly valuable things. 根据短文内容判断正、误，正确的涂“A”，错误的涂“B”。 46. The professor told the students to describe the black dot on the paper. 47. The students kept silent because they were worried about their grades. 48. The professor was angry and he thought nobody should get grades. 49. The professor wanted to teach the students to think about something by having this examination. 50. The story tells us to focus on problems in life rather than care about the more valuable things. (D) Have you ever wondered where a memory goes when you learn something new? The answer lies in your brain. Learning isn’t magic. ___51___ Imagine your brain is a forest. When you learn something for the first time, it’s like walking through the grass and creating a new path (小路). If you only walk that path once, the grass will spring back (恢复原状). ___52___ This is what happens when you forget. But if you walk the same path again and again—by practising a math problem, reviewing vocabulary, or playing a song on the piano, the path will be clear, wide, and lasting. It becomes a road. In your brain, these “roads” are real connections between brain cells called neurons (神经元). The more you use a connection, the stronger it gets. ___53___ This term comes from two words: “neuro” (related to the brain) and “plasticity” (the ability to change)—which means your brain is “plastic”. What makes these connections strong? There are two key factors (因素) involved. One factor is focusing. ___54___ Your brain lets out a chemical that acts like “glue” (胶水) when you pay close attention. It can make the new connection stronger. And while you sleep, your brain is busy replaying the day’s learning and using the new roads repeatedly. So a good night’s sleep isn’t lazy. It’s the other factor that makes the connection stronger. ___55___ Every time you learn something new, your brain actually grows and forms new connections. So learning isn’t just about trying hard—it’s about knowing how your brain works and using that to make new knowledge stick. 根据短文内容，从下面的选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整，其中有一个选项是多余的。 A. The path will disappear. B. Brain science is an amazing kind of life science. C. Instead, if you use more, the roads then will be clear. D. It’s a physical process that changes your brain’s structure (结构). E. It requires you to put all your attention on what you’re learning. F. There’s a special term scientists use to describe brain change. (E) Yin Yuzhen is a well-known sand-control hero in Mu Us Sandy Land. Great changes have taken place around her home over the past forty years. ____56____ In the 1980s, she moved to the sandy area. Back then, strong winds blew sand everywhere. Sand even blocked the door of her small house. Few plants could live on the dry land. People there used to live a hard life. ____57____ Yin Yuzhen made up her mind to fight against the sand. She sold her only sheep to get young trees. Day after day, she planted trees in the wind and sun. At first, many young trees died in the poor environment. However, she never gave up. ____58____ Slowly, more and more trees stood on the sand. The trees held the sand together. The terrible sandstorms became fewer. Green plants covered lots of former desert land. ____59____ With the green trees, local people’s life also changed a lot. Some grew fruit trees and got more money. Visitors came to enjoy the beautiful sights. The whole village became lively. ____60____ Yin Yuzhen’s story tells us that one person’s effort can make a big difference. As long as we keep trying, we can turn something impossible into reality. 根据短文内容，从方框中选出与每段相匹配的选项，其中有一项是多余的。 A. Local people’s life got better with green land. B.

In the 1980s, winds blew sand all ________ her living area. She sold her only ________ to buy young trees for planting. At first, lots of trees ________ because of terrible conditions. Later, trees held the sand and ________ appeared on the desert. Her story shows us that hard work can turn the ________ into real-life miracles. (F) Do you often forget things, like your address or passwords? Don’t worry. You can train your brain. Here are three useful techniques. To start with, sleep well. Sleep is to the brain what fuel is to an engine. Without enough sleep, your memory gets tired and wears out easily. Scientists find that people who sleep well are more likely to remember new things the next day. Second, use pictures. Your brain reacts better to images than to long word lists. When you read a passage, try to draw a graph or organize the main ideas as a chain of pictures, or make an outline before you start. When you retell the story with the pictures, you will understand and remember it fully. This is an effective technique to boost both your short-term and long-term memory. Third, put small tools to good use. Keep a small notebook in a fixed position, for example, by your bed. Tick off each task after you finish it, and review your notes in your free time, for example, when you are waiting in line at the mall. You can keep important information, such as addresses, passwords and your bank account number, in the notebook. In this case, even if one day you forget a password, you can find it there. These little habits can also reduce anxiety before exams and help increase your memory power. There is no one-size-fits-all way to improve memory, so break the tips into small steps and try them one by one. In the writer's view, a good memory starts with good daily habits. 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 62.
