锦州市第八中学2026-2027学年度第一学期九年级期中测试 英语试卷 （英语考试时间共90分钟 试卷满分90分） 考生注意：所有试题必须在答题卡指定区域内作答，在本试卷上作答无效 第一部分 选择题 （共50分） Ⅰ．阅读理解 （共20小题，每小题2分；满分40分） 第一节 阅读下面语言材料，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Let’s make your own barometer (气压计). Then you can measure (测量) air pressure at home and predict the weather yourself! 1. Make the Rubber Cover Cut off 1/3 of the balloon’s bottom. Spread the left part. Pull it tight over the jar top. Press the balloon to make it smooth and tie it with a rubber band. 2. Fix the Straw Pointer Cut one straw-end at 45° for a sharp point. Tape the straw’s other end to the balloon’s center. Ensure it points straightly—it’s your “pointer”! 3. Draw the Lines Put an A4 paper in front of the straw’s sharp end. Mark the straw-pointing spot with a pencil. Use a ruler to make 4 lines each above and below this spot, 0.5cm apart. 4. Name the Weather Signs Draw a sun next to the top mark, a cloud with raindrops next to the bottom mark. Place the whole device (装置) in a corner where it won’t be disturbed (打扰). 5. Observe and Record Check straw position daily at set times, record where it points. If the straw points to the top mark, the weather will probably be dry and sunny. If it points to the bottom mark, it may rain. If it’s in the middle, it will probably stay the same. How it works... Warm air rising causes low pressure (common in rainy weather), and inside air pushes balloon lid (盖子) out, and then, the moving straw pointer goes down. Sunny days are the opposite. 1. Among all the following objects, which are needed in Step 1? A. B. C. D. 2. The straw is used to ________. A. fix the rubber band B. point at the lines C. draw the pictures D. make the balloon smooth 3. According to the underlined part in Step 3, which of the following pictures is correct? A. B. C. D. 4. How does the barometer (气压计) work on sunny days? A. Low pressure outside→Balloon lid out→Pointer up B. Low pressure outside→Balloon lid in→Pointer down C. High pressure outside→Balloon lid out→Pointer down D. High pressure outside→Balloon lid in→Pointer up 【答案】1. B 2. B 3. D 4. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了自制气压计的所需材料、制作步骤、使用方法及工作原理，指导读者在家自制气压计来测量气压、预测天气。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Step 1中“Cut off 1/3 of the balloon’s bottom. Spread the left part. Pull it tight over the jar top.”可知，制作第一步需要用到罐子、气球和剪刀，对应选项B中的物品。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Step 2中“Ensure it points straightly—it’s your ‘pointer’!”可知，吸管被用作指针，作用是指向刻度线。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Step 3中划线句“Use a ruler to make 4 lines each above and below this spot, 0.5cm apart.”可知，需要在初始标记点的上方和下方各画4条间隔0.5厘米的线，符合该要求的是选项D。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Warm air rising causes low pressure (common in rainy weather), and inside air pushes balloon lid out, and then, the moving straw pointer goes down. Sunny days opposite.”可知，晴天时外界气压高，气球盖向内凹陷，指针向上移动。 B It was a hot summer day. Papa had some work to do. “It’s hot enough to fry an egg on the sidewalk (人行道),” he said. “You boys keep yourselves busy while I finish my work, and we’ll do something fun together to cool off.” After hearing his father’s words, Jesse thought it was unbelievable. Was it true? So he decided to have a try himself. He came back a few minutes later. “Actually, it didn’t work,” Jesse said disappointedly. “Dad lied to us.” “What?” Sam asked. “It isn’t hot enough to fry an egg on the sidewalk,” said Jesse. Papa looked up from his work. “Did you try to do that?” he asked. “Yes, but the egg wasn’t cooked, and it didn’t even turn white around the edges (边缘),” said Jesse. “Show me the egg, Jesse,” said Sam. The egg had not changed a bit. It looked like a yellow eye. “Why don’t you use a magnifying glass (放大镜) to focus sunlight on the egg?” Sam suggested. “Miss Li told us that the magnifying glass focuses the sunlight and causes the temperature to rise. Maybe we can use it to fry the egg.” “It’s a good idea. Let’s have a try!” After a few minutes of focusing the sunlight with the magnifying glass, the egg was just fried. The two boys were so excited about that. Later, they understood, “What others say is not always right. It only takes practice and effort to find out whether it’s true or not. Therefore, when things don’t go well, we can try to think differently so that the problems can be easily solved.” 5. What did Jesse do after hearing his father’s words? A. He stayed at home. B. He bought some eggs. C. He tried to fry an egg on the sidewalk. D. He tried to cool himself down outside. 6. How did Jesse feel after first trying to fry the egg on the road? A. Excited. B. Disappointed. C. Nervous. D. Worried. 7. Which of the following pictures shows the reason why the egg can turn white with a magnifying glass? A. B. C. D. 8. What can we learn from the story? A. Eggs are easy to cook. B. Fathers always tell the truth. C. Summer is the best time for experiments. D. Practice and creative thinking can solve problems. 【答案】5. C 6. B 7. A 8. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文，讲述了杰西听闻爸爸说人行道热得能煎鸡蛋后亲自尝试却失败，随后和山姆借助放大镜聚光成功煎熟鸡蛋的故事，阐明了实践与换角度思考能帮助解决问题的道理。 【5题详解】 根据文章第2段“After hearing his father’s words, Jesse thought it was unbelievable. Was it true? So he decided to have a try himself.”以及“It isn’t hot enough to fry an egg on the sidewalk.”可知，杰西听到父亲的话后尝试在人行道上煎鸡蛋。 【6题详解】 根据文章第2段“‘Actually, it didn’t work,’ Jesse said disappointedly.”可知，第一次尝试煎鸡蛋失败后，杰西的心情是失望的。 【7题详解】 根据文章第5段“Miss Li told us that the magnifying glass focuses the sunlight and causes the temperature to rise.”可知，放大镜属于凸透镜，可将近似平行的太阳光会聚到一点，使温度升高。图A是凸透镜的光路图，展示了平行光线经凸透镜后会聚到焦点的过程，符合放大镜聚光升温的原理。 【8题详解】 根据文章最后一段“It only takes practice and effort to find out whether it’s true or not. Therefore, when things don’t go well, we can try to think differently so that the problems can be easily solved.”可知，从故事中我们能学到，实践和创造性思维可以解决问题。 C Have you ever remembered something clearly, only to find out it never happened that way? If so, you might have experienced something called the “Mandela Effect”. The Mandela Effect happens when many people remember something incorrectly. The name comes from Nelson Mandela, a famous South African leader. Many people believed he died in prison (监狱) in the 1980s. But in reality, he lived until 2013. How could so many people be wrong? There are different theories. Some people think it might be caused by parallel universes (平行宇宙). In these universes, things may have happened differently. Others believe there is a more scientific explanation-false memories. Our brains aren’t perfect recorders and can be influenced by what others say or what we see online. Our brains also fill in missing details to make sense of the world. Both of these can create false memories that feel real. A well-known example is a scene from the movie Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. In the scene, Darth Vader famously says, “No, I am your father.” But many people remember this line as “Luke, I am your father.” This has led to debate about the Mandela Effect. The Mandela Effect reminds us that our minds are not like video cameras—they don’t record everything perfectly. Instead, they build memories based on what we expect or what we hear from others. Whether you believe in parallel universes or just the tricks of your own brain, the Mandela Effect is a fun and interesting topic. It makes us question what we think we know. Next time you argue with a friend about a memory, maybe you’re both right — in a way. 9. According to the text, the Mandela Effect refers to a situation where ________. A. people care a lot about famous leaders B. people can’t recognize each other C. many people can’t make sense of stories D. many people have false memories of something 10. The underlined word “theories” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________. A. excuses B. basic facts C. real-life examples D. possible explanations 11. What can we infer from the Star Wars example in Paragraph 3? A. Movie lines are difficult to remember. B. False memories can seem very real. C. Movie lines can influence people’s memory. D. The Mandela Effect mostly happens in movies. 12. What is the purpose of the text? A. To tell the life story of a famous man. B. To prove that parallel universes really exist. C. To introduce a fascinating memory effect. D. To teach readers how to improve their memories. 【答案】9. D 10. D 11. B 12. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“曼德拉效应”的定义、名称由来、产生原因的两种理论（平行宇宙和错误记忆），并通过《星球大战》的例子说明记忆并不完全可靠，旨在介绍这一有趣的记忆现象。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第2段“The Mandela Effect happens when many people remember something incorrectly.”可知，曼德拉效应指的是许多人错误地记住某事，即对某事有虚假记忆。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第3段“How could so many people be wrong? There are different theories. Some people think it might be caused by parallel universes…Others believe there is a more scientific explanation…”可知，后文列举了对这一现象的不同看法和解释，由此可猜测"theories"意为“可能的解释”。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第3段“Both of these can create false memories that feel real. A well-known example is a scene from the movie Star Wars…”可推知，举《星球大战》的例子是为了说明错误记忆可能让人感觉非常真实。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。全文围绕“Mandela Effect”展开，依次介绍了它的定义、来源、原因及实例，核心目的是向读者介绍这一有趣的记忆效应。 D The opening of the Pinglu Canal (平陆运河) turns Guangxi into a key point in the regional transport network. The opening of the canal will bring three main changes. First, the relationship between Nanning and the Beibu Gulf Port will change greatly. With the canal open, river ports and sea ports will no longer work as two separate (分开的) systems. Instead, they will join together into one goods-collecting network. Second, many industries connected with water-carried goods, machines, grain and oil will gather along the canal banks. Third, Guangxi’s position in the local economic field will improve a lot. The canal helps Guangxi accept industries moving from the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. It also makes Guangxi play a more important role in production for ASEAN (东盟). As an important part of China-ASEAN transport network, the canal can carry ships of up to 5,000 tons. It improves the speed of long-distance transport for grain, oil, machines and daily goods. At the same time, farm products and important mineral resources (矿产资源) from ASEAN can be sent to southwest China for further processing. This will make trade relations between China and ASEAN more active. In history, China-ASEAN trade mainly focused on the exchange of farm and factory goods. The canal will increase the trade of partly-made and processed goods. It will turn China and ASEAN from trade partners into production partners. For southwest China, the Pinglu Canal will reshape its economic geography. It will change local industrial structure (产业结构) and greatly raise employment (就业), living standards and different kinds of public services. More service industries such as tourism, hotel and restaurant business will also grow fast. We also hope the canal will help China and ASEAN work together to open new foreign markets. 13. Which of the following is the correct order of events according to the passage? a. Industries gather along the banks of the Pinglu Canal. b. More service industries like tourism develop fast. c. The Pinglu Canal in Guangxi is officially open. d. River ports and seaports form one goods-collecting network. A. c-a-d-b B. c-d-a-b C. d-c-b-a D. d-a-c-b 14. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 5 refer to (指代)? A. partly-made and processed goods. B. the exchange of farm goods. C. the opening of the Pinglu Canal. D. new foreign markets. 15. Which of the following best shows the structure of the six-paragraph passage? A. ① / ②③ / ④⑤ / ⑥ B. ①② / ③ / ④ / ⑤⑥ C. ① / ② / ③④ / ⑤⑥ D. ①② / ③④ / ⑤ / ⑥ 16. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. The canal only brings good things for southeast China. B. People’s life in southwest China may get better. C. China will stop doing business with foreign countries. D. Tourism will be the only industry along the canal. 【答案】13. B 14. C 15. A 16. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了平陆运河开通给广西以及中国和东盟之间的贸易、西南地区经济带来的多方面变化与积极影响。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The opening of the canal will bring three main changes.”、第二段“With the canal open, river ports and sea ports will no longer work as two separate systems. Instead, they will join together into one goods-collecting network.”、第三段“Second, many industries connected with water-carried goods, machines, grain and oil will gather along the canal banks.”、第六段“More service industries such as tourism, hotel and restaurant business will also grow fast.”可知，平陆运河开通是事件的起始，随后河港与海港形成统一的集货网络，接着相关产业沿运河河岸聚集，最终旅游业等服务业快速发展，正确顺序为c-d-a-b。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第五段“The canal will increase the trade of partly-made and processed goods. It will turn China and ASEAN from trade partners into production partners.”可知，全文围绕平陆运河开通带来的各类影响展开，此处代词It指代平陆运河的开通，说明运河开通会推动中国与东盟从贸易伙伴转变为生产伙伴。 【15题详解】 篇章结构题。根据文章内容可知，第①段为总起段，点明平陆运河开通将带来三大主要变化；第②③段具体阐述这三方面变化；第④⑤段介绍运河对中国和东盟贸易发展的促进作用；第⑥段说明运河对中国西南地区的经济社会影响及未来展望，因此文章结构为①/②③/④⑤/⑥。 【16题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“It will change local industrial structure and greatly raise employment, living standards and different kinds of public services.”可知，平陆运河会大幅提升西南地区的就业水平、生活水平与各类公共服务质量，即西南地区人们的生活可能会变得更好。 第二节 还原句子 阅读下面短文，从短文后的五个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项。 The Journey of Self-Discovery People make long journeys to different countries. ____17____ However, the biggest journey is the self-discovery journey.

This phenomenon (现象) _____34_____ (see) the most easily in the Yellow River Basin. But in _____35_____ (south) China, people only feel a lot cooler — they don’t see frost. Frost’s Descent has three typical natural phenomena. People call them “Three Hou” (三候) in Chinese. The first one is that jackals and other wild animals start hunting a lot _____36_____ (store) food for winter. They pile up the food they don’t eat. Second, leaves of plants turn yellow and fall down one by one. Third, insects that hibernate (冬眠) hide in _____37_____ (they) holes and stop moving. They are getting ready for the long winter. For farmers, Frost’s Descent is a very important time for harvesting and sowing. Farmers in northern China are busy finishing the autumn harvest. Crops like corn and cotton are sensitive to frost, _____38_____ people must pick them in time. In southern China, it’s the busiest time to plant winter wheat and harvest late rice.

Frost’s Descent tells people to get ready for the cold winter. At the same time, it lets people enjoy the last beauty of autumn. 【答案】31. has become 32. the biggest 33. directly 34. is seen 35. southern 36. to store 37. their 38. so 39. a 40. against 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国二十四节气之一“霜降”的含义、气候特点、自然现象、农事活动以及相关的习俗。 【31题详解】 句意：从那天起，天气变得冷多了。“Since that day”是现在完成时的标志性时间状语，表示自从霜降到来之后，天气就已经变得寒冷多了；主语the weather是单数，应用has become。 【32题详解】 句意：昼夜温差成为一年中最大的。句中的范围in a year表示“在一整年当中”，说明霜降时节的昼夜温差在一年之中达到最大值，因此要使用big的最高级biggest，形容词最高级前面需要加上定冠词the，应填the biggest。 【33题详解】 句意：夜间地面温度降到0摄氏度左右时，空气中的水汽会直接在地面和植物上变成洁白柔软的冰晶。空格修饰动词turns，需要使用副词；direct是形容词，对应的副词形式是directly，表示“直接地”，符合语境。 【34题详解】 句意：这种现象在黄河流域最容易被看到。主语This phenomenon和动词see之间属于被动关系，意思是“这种现象能够被人们看到”；文章介绍节气属于客观事实，应用一般现在时；phenomenon为单数，所以被动结构是is seen。 【35题详解】 句意：但是在中国南方，人们只会感觉到凉快很多，看不到霜。空格后面是名词China，需要形容词进行修饰；south是名词，意为“南方”，形容词形式为southern，表示“南部的”，southern China是固定表达，表示“中国南方”，符合语境。 【36题详解】 句意：第一种现象是豺以及其他野生动物开始大量捕猎，以此储存过冬的食物。豺狼大量捕猎的目的是储存过冬的食物，动词不定式to do可以用来表达动作的目的，因此这里填to store。 【37题详解】 句意：第三，冬眠的昆虫躲藏在它们的洞穴之中，停止活动。空格后面是名词holes，需要形容词性物主代词修饰名词；人称代词they的形容词性物主代词是their，表示“它们的”，符合语境。 【38题详解】 句意：玉米、棉花这类作物对霜冻很敏感，因此人们必须及时采收。前半句“玉米、棉花这类农作物对霜冻十分敏感”是原因，后半句“人们必须及时采收”是由此带来的结果，二者是前因后果的逻辑关系，连词so表示“因此”，符合语境。 【39题详解】 句意：吃柿子是一项广受欢迎的传统。后面的popular tradition是单数可数名词短语，此处表示“一项广受欢迎的传统”，属于泛指；popular是以辅音音素开头的单词，所以应用不定冠词a。 【40题详解】 句意：人们相信这种甘甜的水果能够帮助他们抵御感冒，带来好运。文中表达人们相信柿子可以帮助他们抵御感冒、带来好运；固定搭配fight against表示“抵御、抵抗”，符合语境，应填against。 Ⅳ．阅读与表达 （共4小题，41-43小题，每小题2分，44小题4分；满分10分） 阅读短文，根据内容回答问题。 Wang Ji, a 57-year-old professor from the National University of Defense Technology, was honored as the national “Role Model of the Times”. For over forty years, he has spent all his energy improving software technology for national defense (国防). Wang showed great talent in computer science from an early age. He entered university in 1983 before he turned 14 and made up his mind to study computer science to serve the country. Under the guidance of his teacher Chen Huowang, he started to explore high-confidence software engineering, a field few people studied at that time. Later, he led his team to create special tools to find hidden problems in military software, greatly improving the safety of aerospace (航空航天) and weapon systems. He became a full professor at just 33, with a bright future ahead of him. Everything changed suddenly in 2013. Wang suffered a deadly blood disease and had to receive an operation lasting 13 hours. The treatment saved his life, but he lost the ability to walk forever and had to rely on a wheelchair. However, he did not give in to the bad news. When he was still in hospital, he turned his ward (病房) into a temporary office, discussing research plans and guiding students to finish their studies on time. In 2015, Wang returned to his university office in a wheelchair. He chose a manual (手动的) wheelchair instead of an electric one to keep exercising. He insisted on dealing with work alone and never asked others for help unless he really could not manage it. Worse still, he was found to have kidney failure (肾衰竭) in 2021 and needs four-hour dialysis three times every week. Even during treatment time, he reads academic papers and joins online work meetings. Life has brought Wang Ji endless hard blows, but he holds fast to his original goal all the time. He tells people the aim in his heart never changes; only the way he works for it is different.

Then you can measure (测量) air pressure at home and predict the weather yourself! 1. Make the Rubber Cover Cut off 1/3 of the balloon’s bottom. Spread the left part. Pull it tight over the jar top. Press the balloon to make it smooth and tie it with a rubber band. 2. Fix the Straw Pointer Cut one straw-end at 45° for a sharp point. Tape the straw’s other end to the balloon’s center. Ensure it points straightly—it’s your “pointer”! 3. Draw the Lines Put an A4 paper in front of the straw’s sharp end. Mark the straw-pointing spot with a pencil. Use a ruler to make 4 lines each above and below this spot, 0.5cm apart. 4. Name the Weather Signs Draw a sun next to the top mark, a cloud with raindrops next to the bottom mark. Place the whole device (装置) in a corner where it won’t be disturbed (打扰). 5. Observe and Record Check straw position daily at set times, record where it points. If the straw points to the top mark, the weather will probably be dry and sunny. If it points to the bottom mark, it may rain. If it’s in the middle, it will probably stay the same. How it works... Warm air rising causes low pressure (common in rainy weather), and inside air pushes balloon lid (盖子) out, and then, the moving straw pointer goes down. Sunny days are the opposite. 1. Among all the following objects, which are needed in Step 1? A. B. C. D. 2. The straw is used to ________. A. fix the rubber band B. point at the lines C. draw the pictures D. make the balloon smooth 3. According to the underlined part in Step 3, which of the following pictures is correct? A. B. C. D. 4. How does the barometer (气压计) work on sunny days? A. Low pressure outside→Balloon lid out→Pointer up B. Low pressure outside→Balloon lid in→Pointer down C. High pressure outside→Balloon lid out→Pointer down D. High pressure outside→Balloon lid in→Pointer up B It was a hot summer day. Papa had some work to do. “It’s hot enough to fry an egg on the sidewalk (人行道),” he said. “You boys keep yourselves busy while I finish my work, and we’ll do something fun together to cool off.” After hearing his father’s words, Jesse thought it was unbelievable. Was it true? So he decided to have a try himself. He came back a few minutes later. “Actually, it didn’t work,” Jesse said disappointedly. “Dad lied to us.” “What?” Sam asked. “It isn’t hot enough to fry an egg on the sidewalk,” said Jesse. Papa looked up from his work. “Did you try to do that?” he asked. “Yes, but the egg wasn’t cooked, and it didn’t even turn white around the edges (边缘),” said Jesse. “Show me the egg, Jesse,” said Sam. The egg had not changed a bit. It looked like a yellow eye. “Why don’t you use a magnifying glass (放大镜) to focus sunlight on the egg?” Sam suggested. “Miss Li told us that the magnifying glass focuses the sunlight and causes the temperature to rise. Maybe we can use it to fry the egg.” “It’s a good idea. Let’s have a try!” After a few minutes of focusing the sunlight with the magnifying glass, the egg was just fried. The two boys were so excited about that. Later, they understood, “What others say is not always right. It only takes practice and effort to find out whether it’s true or not. Therefore, when things don’t go well, we can try to think differently so that the problems can be easily solved.” 5. What did Jesse do after hearing his father’s words? A. He stayed at home. B. He bought some eggs. C. He tried to fry an egg on the sidewalk. D. He tried to cool himself down outside. 6. How did Jesse feel after first trying to fry the egg on the road? A. Excited. B. Disappointed. C. Nervous. D. Worried. 7. Which of the following pictures shows the reason why the egg can turn white with a magnifying glass? A. B. C. D. 8. What can we learn from the story? A. Eggs are easy to cook. B. Fathers always tell the truth. C. Summer is the best time for experiments. D. Practice and creative thinking can solve problems. C Have you ever remembered something clearly, only to find out it never happened that way? If so, you might have experienced something called the “Mandela Effect”. The Mandela Effect happens when many people remember something incorrectly. The name comes from Nelson Mandela, a famous South African leader. Many people believed he died in prison (监狱) in the 1980s. But in reality, he lived until 2013. How could so many people be wrong? There are different theories. Some people think it might be caused by parallel universes (平行宇宙). In these universes, things may have happened differently. Others believe there is a more scientific explanation-false memories. Our brains aren’t perfect recorders and can be influenced by what others say or what we see online. Our brains also fill in missing details to make sense of the world. Both of these can create false memories that feel real. A well-known example is a scene from the movie Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. In the scene, Darth Vader famously says, “No, I am your father.” But many people remember this line as “Luke, I am your father.” This has led to debate about the Mandela Effect. The Mandela Effect reminds us that our minds are not like video cameras—they don’t record everything perfectly. Instead, they build memories based on what we expect or what we hear from others. Whether you believe in parallel universes or just the tricks of your own brain, the Mandela Effect is a fun and interesting topic. It makes us question what we think we know. Next time you argue with a friend about a memory, maybe you’re both right — in a way. 9. According to the text, the Mandela Effect refers to a situation where ________. A. people care a lot about famous leaders B. people can’t recognize each other C. many people can’t make sense of stories D. many people have false memories of something 10. The underlined word “theories” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________. A. excuses B. basic facts C. real-life examples D. possible explanations 11. What can we infer from the Star Wars example in Paragraph 3? A. Movie lines are difficult to remember. B. False memories can seem very real. C. Movie lines can influence people’s memory. D. The Mandela Effect mostly happens in movies. 12. What is the purpose of the text? A. To tell the life story of a famous man. B. To prove that parallel universes really exist. C. To introduce a fascinating memory effect. D. To teach readers how to improve their memories. D The opening of the Pinglu Canal (平陆运河) turns Guangxi into a key point in the regional transport network. The opening of the canal will bring three main changes. First, the relationship between Nanning and the Beibu Gulf Port will change greatly. With the canal open, river ports and sea ports will no longer work as two separate (分开的) systems. Instead, they will join together into one goods-collecting network. Second, many industries connected with water-carried goods, machines, grain and oil will gather along the canal banks. Third, Guangxi’s position in the local economic field will improve a lot. The canal helps Guangxi accept industries moving from the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. It also makes Guangxi play a more important role in production for ASEAN (东盟). As an important part of China-ASEAN transport network, the canal can carry ships of up to 5,000 tons. It improves the speed of long-distance transport for grain, oil, machines and daily goods. At the same time, farm products and important mineral resources (矿产资源) from ASEAN can be sent to southwest China for further processing. This will make trade relations between China and ASEAN more active. In history, China-ASEAN trade mainly focused on the exchange of farm and factory goods. The canal will increase the trade of partly-made and processed goods. It will turn China and ASEAN from trade partners into production partners. For southwest China, the Pinglu Canal will reshape its economic geography. It will change local industrial structure (产业结构) and greatly raise employment (就业), living standards and different kinds of public services. More service industries such as tourism, hotel and restaurant business will also grow fast. We also hope the canal will help China and ASEAN work together to open new foreign markets. 13. Which of the following is the correct order of events according to the passage? a. Industries gather along the banks of the Pinglu Canal. b. More service industries like tourism develop fast. c. The Pinglu Canal in Guangxi is officially open. d. River ports and seaports form one goods-collecting network. A. c-a-d-b B. c-d-a-b C. d-c-b-a D. d-a-c-b 14. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 5 refer to (指代)? A. partly-made and processed goods. B. the exchange of farm goods. C. the opening of the Pinglu Canal. D. new foreign markets. 15. Which of the following best shows the structure of the six-paragraph passage? A. ① / ②③ / ④⑤ / ⑥ B. ①② / ③ / ④ / ⑤⑥ C. ① / ② / ③④ / ⑤⑥ D. ①② / ③④ / ⑤ / ⑥ 16. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. The canal only brings good things for southeast China. B. People’s life in southwest China may get better. C. China will stop doing business with foreign countries. D. Tourism will be the only industry along the canal. 第二节 还原句子 阅读下面短文，从短文后的五个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项。 The Journey of Self-Discovery People make long journeys to different countries. ____17____ However, the biggest journey is the self-discovery journey.

For over forty years, he has spent all his energy improving software technology for national defense (国防). Wang showed great talent in computer science from an early age. He entered university in 1983 before he turned 14 and made up his mind to study computer science to serve the country. Under the guidance of his teacher Chen Huowang, he started to explore high-confidence software engineering, a field few people studied at that time. Later, he led his team to create special tools to find hidden problems in military software, greatly improving the safety of aerospace (航空航天) and weapon systems. He became a full professor at just 33, with a bright future ahead of him. Everything changed suddenly in 2013. Wang suffered a deadly blood disease and had to receive an operation lasting 13 hours. The treatment saved his life, but he lost the ability to walk forever and had to rely on a wheelchair. However, he did not give in to the bad news. When he was still in hospital, he turned his ward (病房) into a temporary office, discussing research plans and guiding students to finish their studies on time. In 2015, Wang returned to his university office in a wheelchair. He chose a manual (手动的) wheelchair instead of an electric one to keep exercising. He insisted on dealing with work alone and never asked others for help unless he really could not manage it. Worse still, he was found to have kidney failure (肾衰竭) in 2021 and needs four-hour dialysis three times every week. Even during treatment time, he reads academic papers and joins online work meetings. Life has brought Wang Ji endless hard blows, but he holds fast to his original goal all the time. He tells people the aim in his heart never changes; only the way he works for it is different. His story tells us that strong will can help people overcome any difficulty and realize their life value. 41.
