In the UK, more and more people over 55 are using Facebook. Soon, they will become the second largest group on the site, with 3.5 million users aged 55 to 64 and 2.9 million users over 65. Sheila, 59, joined Facebook to see what her grandchildren were doing. “My daughter posts photos and videos of them. It’s a much better way than waiting for letters. That’s how we did it when I was a child,” she says. “I’m lucky I can see much more of their lives than my grandparents did.” However, Sheila’s grandchildren don’t use Facebook much. Many British children under 17 are leaving the site, but they are still crazy about their smartphones. Chloe, 15, even sleeps with her phone. “It’s my alarm clock,” she says. “I look at it before I sleep and as soon as I wake up.” Unlike Sheila, Chloe’s age group spends so much time on phones that they miss out on seeing friends in real life. Sheila, however, has found old school friends she hadn’t heard from for forty years. “We use Facebook to arrange meetings around the country,” she says. “It has completely changed my social life.” Teenagers may have their parents to thank for this habit, as parents were the first to use smartphones. Peter, 38, father of two teenagers, used to be on his phone or computer all the time. “I always felt I was working,” he says. “How could I tell my kids to get off their phones if I was always in front of a screen?” In the evenings and at weekends, he replaces his smartphone with an old-style phone that can only call and text. “I am not completely cut off, but I am setting a better example and spending more quality time with my kids. ” 39. What do we know about people over 55 in the UK? A. They are the largest group to use Facebook. B. They all joined Facebook to arrange school meetings. C. Only 2.9 million people aged 55 to 64 use Facebook. D. They will soon become the second largest group on Facebook. 40. Why does Chloe sleep with her phone? A. Because she wants to watch videos before sleep. B. Because she needs to call her parents. C. Because her phone is her alarm clock. D. Because she uses it to arrange meetings. 41. From Paragraph 5, we can know ____________. A. Peter no longer uses any phone. B. Peter wants to set a good example for his children. C. Peter asks his children to leave Facebook. D. Peter thinks smartphones are completely useless. 42. What is the passage mainly about? A. Why British children are leaving Facebook. B. How parents should set examples for children. C. How social media and phones affect different generations. D. How grandparents waited for their grandchildren’s letters. 【答案】39. D 40. C 41. B 42. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述英国不同年龄段人群（祖辈、青少年、父母）使用社交媒体和手机的习惯差异，探讨了科技产品对各代际生活及社交的影响。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第1段“Soon, they will become the second largest group on the site”可推知，55岁以上人群很快将成为该网站第二大用户群体。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第3段Chloe所说的“It’s my alarm clock,”可推知她睡觉带着手机是因为把它当作闹钟使用。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第5段Peter所说的“I am setting a better example and spending more quality time with my kids.”可推知Peter换用旧式手机是为了给孩子树立更好的榜样。 【42题详解】 主旨大意题。纵观全文，文章分别描述了祖辈使用社交媒体联系家人、青少年沉迷手机忽视现实社交、父母以身作则减少屏幕时间，核心内容是社交媒体和手机对不同代际的影响。 C Some of the boys whistled (吹口哨) during school hours, so their teacher was so angry that he said he would punish anyone who whistled again. The next morning, when the room was very quiet, a loud whistle was heard! The students were very surprised and the teacher at once looked around to discover the offender (违规者). The blame fell on John, who was often a troublemaker. He strongly denied (否认) the act, yet his words were not believed, for he was not an honest boy before, so the teacher would bring him up for punishment. Seeing what was about to happen, a thin little boy, about nine years old, stood up from his seat anxiously. “Do not punish John, sir,” he said to the teacher. “It was I who whistled.” “I was doing a long hard sum (算术题) and when I rubbed out (擦掉) another sum to make room for it, I rubbed out the difficult one by mistake. But before I remembered where I was, I had whistled right out, sir! I didn’t do it on purpose actually. I’m very sorry, sir! I cannot let John be punished for my mistake.” The teacher said, “Charles, you have done the right thing. I cannot punish you after you tell the truth. And I’m so sorry for misunderstanding John.” Charles returned to his seat with a red face and even the youngest child in the school felt proud of him, for every student could see how bravely he had acted. Charles had done what he knew to be right, even though it might bring him punishment. True courage may also be shown by refusing to do something we know is wrong, although friends may laugh at us for saying no. 43. The underlined word in Paragraph 3 probably means ________ in the passage. A. praise B. fault C. trust D. acceptance 44. Who was punished at last? A. The troublemaker. B. Charles. C. The youngest child. D. No one. 45. Which of the following best describes Charles? A. Brave and honest. B. Shy and careless. C. Anxious but truthful. D. Mean (吝啬的) but brave. 46. What’s the best title of the text? A. A careless noise-maker B. The strict punishment C. The true courage D. A valuable class 【答案】43. B 44. D 45. A 46. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了男孩Charles在课堂上无意中吹口哨后，为避免同学John受罚而勇敢承认错误的故事，探讨了诚实与勇气的真正含义。 【43题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“The blame fell on John who was often a troublemaker… so the teacher would bring him up for punishment.”可知，John被认定为犯错者，blame在文中表示“把过错归到某人身上”，与fault含义相近。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第四段“Charles, you have done the right thing. I cannot punish you after you tell the truth. And I’m so sorry for misunderstanding John.”可知，老师没有惩罚Charles，也为误解John道歉，最终没有人受到惩罚。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“every student could see how bravely he had acted”以及第五段Charles主动说出真相“It was I who whistled.”可知，Charles既勇敢又诚实。 【46题详解】 最佳标题题。根据最后一段“True courage may also be shown by refusing to do something we know is wrong…”及全文核心内容可知，文章主要围绕Charles展现出的真正勇气展开，“真正的勇气”最适合做文章的标题。 D Color Walk is popular among Chinese teenagers — not as a sport, but as an activity to lower daily stress. The rule is easy: pick a color, take a walk, and photograph anything that matches it. This takes your mind off worries. Li Xuan used to think his walk to school was boring. Last week, he picked “Green” as his theme for a color walk. Suddenly, fresh moss caught his eyes, spreading over old stone walls. Bright leaves waved in the wind, smiling at him. The path felt calm and alive. A green surprise waited in every corner he ever ignored. Now he walks more slowly, enjoying the beauty of colors along the way. Actually, in the field of psychology (心理学), Color Walk Therapy (治疗) has been used for emotional health for long. According to color psychologists, different colors, with their special light wavelengths (波长), cause different feelings in the nervous system. Soft colors like blue and green quickly calm people, while bright colors such as yellow and red help cheer people up. Besides, Color Walk activates areas of the brain’s prefrontal cortex responsible for attention control. By actively choosing where to focus to find the color, people can return to “the present moment”. In a world where people receive too much information daily, mental tiredness is common. Color Walk offers our brains a chance to reset. Dear students, as you step into the busy life of Grade 9, remember that true beauty lies in the courage to find colors in your daily life. Take a color walk to notice the green trees and the warm smiles around you. Never stop looking for the beauty in the world, and these colors will surely light up your path and make you shine even brighter in the coming year. 47. What is Color Walk? A. A new kind of sport. B. A school subject. C. A photo competition. D. A way to reduce stress. 48. What does the underlined word “activates” probably mean? A. Make something work. B. Turn something off. C. Slow something down. D. Break something up. 49. What is the relationship between Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3? A. Paragraph 3 gives a reason. B. Paragraph 3 gives an example. C. Paragraph 3 adds another reason. D. Paragraph 3 gives a result. 50. What is the writer’s purpose of the last paragraph? A. To show the problems reflected by Color Walk. B. To introduce Color Walk to help students relax. C. To encourage more students to try Color Walk. D. To explain why Color Walk helps reduce stress. 【答案】47. D 48. A 49. A 50. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文，介绍了“色彩漫步（Color Walk）”这一减压活动，通过具体事例、心理学原理解释了其缓解压力的科学依据，最后呼吁九年级学生尝试该活动，发现生活中的美好。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第1段“Color Walk is popular among Chinese teenagers—not as a sport, but as an activity to lower daily stress.”可知，色彩漫步是一种减轻日常压力的活动。 【48题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第4段“Besides, Color Walk activates areas of the brain’s prefrontal cortex responsible for attention control. By actively choosing where to focus to find the color, people can return to “the present moment”.”，结合大脑结构图中prefrontal cortex（前额叶皮层）的标注，可推知activates意为“激活，使运作”，即让某事物发挥作用。 【49题详解】 篇章结构题。根据文章第2段李轩的绿色漫步体验，以及第3段“According to color psychologists, different colors, with their special light wavelengths, cause different feelings in the nervous system. Soft colors like blue and green quickly calm people, while bright colors such as yellow and red help cheer people up.”可知，第二段是色彩漫步的具体事例，第三段从心理学角度解释了色彩漫步能带来积极感受的原因，即第三段给出了原因。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Take a color walk to notice the green trees and the warm smiles around you. Never stop looking for the beauty in the world, and these colors will surely light up your path and make you shine even brighter in the coming year.”可推知，作者写最后一段是为了鼓励更多学生尝试色彩漫步。 第二节：（一） We know many musical instruments well, such as pianos, violins, drums and so on.

Nowadays, many teenagers are just like strawberries. They easily lose control when they face difficulties. They don’t know what to do with difficulties when they are in trouble. There is a name for them—strawberry children. Why do many students lose control so easily? Many students are the only child in their family. Parents do almost everything for them in their daily life, grandparents always give them what they want, and schools pay more attention to their grades instead of developing their personalities. Wang Ran, 13 years old, is from Guangdong. His mum hardly criticizes him and he always feels good about himself. When a teacher criticized him strictly, he felt surprised and sad. Then he began to doubt his ability. Students should learn how to make themselves mentally strong. A youth worker said, “When you are in trouble, don’t ask for help too quickly. You should try to work out problems first by yourself. By taking part in sports and many activities in society actively, you can become mentally strong.” Growing up is not simply a happy process. Pains also go along with it. The most important thing is facing the pains bravely and learning from them. 81.

Soon, they will become the second largest group on the site, with 3.5 million users aged 55 to 64 and 2.9 million users over 65. Sheila, 59, joined Facebook to see what her grandchildren were doing. “My daughter posts photos and videos of them. It’s a much better way than waiting for letters. That’s how we did it when I was a child,” she says. “I’m lucky I can see much more of their lives than my grandparents did.” However, Sheila’s grandchildren don’t use Facebook much. Many British children under 17 are leaving the site, but they are still crazy about their smartphones. Chloe, 15, even sleeps with her phone. “It’s my alarm clock,” she says. “I look at it before I sleep and as soon as I wake up.” Unlike Sheila, Chloe’s age group spends so much time on phones that they miss out on seeing friends in real life. Sheila, however, has found old school friends she hadn’t heard from for forty years. “We use Facebook to arrange meetings around the country,” she says. “It has completely changed my social life.” Teenagers may have their parents to thank for this habit, as parents were the first to use smartphones. Peter, 38, father of two teenagers, used to be on his phone or computer all the time. “I always felt I was working,” he says. “How could I tell my kids to get off their phones if I was always in front of a screen?” In the evenings and at weekends, he replaces his smartphone with an old-style phone that can only call and text. “I am not completely cut off, but I am setting a better example and spending more quality time with my kids. ” 39. What do we know about people over 55 in the UK? A. They are the largest group to use Facebook. B. They all joined Facebook to arrange school meetings. C. Only 2.9 million people aged 55 to 64 use Facebook. D. They will soon become the second largest group on Facebook. 40. Why does Chloe sleep with her phone? A. Because she wants to watch videos before sleep. B. Because she needs to call her parents. C. Because her phone is her alarm clock. D. Because she uses it to arrange meetings. 41. From Paragraph 5, we can know ____________. A. Peter no longer uses any phone. B. Peter wants to set a good example for his children. C. Peter asks his children to leave Facebook. D. Peter thinks smartphones are completely useless. 42. What is the passage mainly about? A. Why British children are leaving Facebook. B. How parents should set examples for children. C. How social media and phones affect different generations. D. How grandparents waited for their grandchildren’s letters. C Some of the boys whistled (吹口哨) during school hours, so their teacher was so angry that he said he would punish anyone who whistled again. The next morning, when the room was very quiet, a loud whistle was heard! The students were very surprised and the teacher at once looked around to discover the offender (违规者). The blame fell on John, who was often a troublemaker. He strongly denied (否认) the act, yet his words were not believed, for he was not an honest boy before, so the teacher would bring him up for punishment. Seeing what was about to happen, a thin little boy, about nine years old, stood up from his seat anxiously. “Do not punish John, sir,” he said to the teacher. “It was I who whistled.” “I was doing a long hard sum (算术题) and when I rubbed out (擦掉) another sum to make room for it, I rubbed out the difficult one by mistake. But before I remembered where I was, I had whistled right out, sir! I didn’t do it on purpose actually. I’m very sorry, sir! I cannot let John be punished for my mistake.” The teacher said, “Charles, you have done the right thing. I cannot punish you after you tell the truth. And I’m so sorry for misunderstanding John.” Charles returned to his seat with a red face and even the youngest child in the school felt proud of him, for every student could see how bravely he had acted. Charles had done what he knew to be right, even though it might bring him punishment. True courage may also be shown by refusing to do something we know is wrong, although friends may laugh at us for saying no. 43. The underlined word in Paragraph 3 probably means ________ in the passage. A. praise B. fault C. trust D. acceptance 44. Who was punished at last? A. The troublemaker. B. Charles. C. The youngest child. D. No one. 45. Which of the following best describes Charles? A. Brave and honest. B. Shy and careless. C. Anxious but truthful. D. Mean (吝啬的) but brave. 46. What’s the best title of the text? A. A careless noise-maker B. The strict punishment C. The true courage D. A valuable class D Color Walk is popular among Chinese teenagers — not as a sport, but as an activity to lower daily stress. The rule is easy: pick a color, take a walk, and photograph anything that matches it. This takes your mind off worries. Li Xuan used to think his walk to school was boring. Last week, he picked “Green” as his theme for a color walk. Suddenly, fresh moss caught his eyes, spreading over old stone walls. Bright leaves waved in the wind, smiling at him. The path felt calm and alive. A green surprise waited in every corner he ever ignored. Now he walks more slowly, enjoying the beauty of colors along the way. Actually, in the field of psychology (心理学), Color Walk Therapy (治疗) has been used for emotional health for long. According to color psychologists, different colors, with their special light wavelengths (波长), cause different feelings in the nervous system. Soft colors like blue and green quickly calm people, while bright colors such as yellow and red help cheer people up. Besides, Color Walk activates areas of the brain’s prefrontal cortex responsible for attention control. By actively choosing where to focus to find the color, people can return to “the present moment”. In a world where people receive too much information daily, mental tiredness is common. Color Walk offers our brains a chance to reset. Dear students, as you step into the busy life of Grade 9, remember that true beauty lies in the courage to find colors in your daily life. Take a color walk to notice the green trees and the warm smiles around you. Never stop looking for the beauty in the world, and these colors will surely light up your path and make you shine even brighter in the coming year. 47. What is Color Walk? A. A new kind of sport. B.

Nowadays, many teenagers are just like strawberries. They easily lose control when they face difficulties. They don’t know what to do with difficulties when they are in trouble. There is a name for them—strawberry children. Why do many students lose control so easily? Many students are the only child in their family. Parents do almost everything for them in their daily life, grandparents always give them what they want, and schools pay more attention to their grades instead of developing their personalities. Wang Ran, 13 years old, is from Guangdong. His mum hardly criticizes him and he always feels good about himself. When a teacher criticized him strictly, he felt surprised and sad. Then he began to doubt his ability. Students should learn how to make themselves mentally strong. A youth worker said, “When you are in trouble, don’t ask for help too quickly. You should try to work out problems first by yourself. By taking part in sports and many activities in society actively, you can become mentally strong.” Growing up is not simply a happy process. Pains also go along with it. The most important thing is facing the pains bravely and learning from them. 81.
