When I was younger, I was crazy about reading. I could get through a whole book in a day, and used to beg my parents every night to let me stay up late so that I could just finish my chapter.
However, while there are many books for younger children, once you reach your mid-teens, the choices become limited. I found myself choosing between books for children that were simple and not that interesting, and adult books that I couldn’t quite understand.
This lack (缺少) of choice finally led me to read less and less. When I was in the secondary school, the only books I read were ones we were told in English class, and I was never very interested in my teacher’s choices.
Luckily, I realized quickly that deciding to go to university meant I had signed up for four years of reading books. I chose a French literature module (课程) in my first year. I started out, thinking I wouldn’t enjoy any of the works we were studying over the course of the year. However, I soon realized that at a university level, the discussion was more fruitful and I found I had a lot to say! And being able to discuss my thoughts with others meant I could better understand the books.
I began reading again for pleasure, starting with Malcolm X’s autobiography (自传) and never looking back. Now, during my year abroad, I spend a lot of my spare time in bookshops and reading in cafes. I’m so happy that I rediscovered my love of books.
34. What does the author want to say in Paragraph 1?
A. She used to stay up late at night. B. She read very fast as a young girl.
C. She loved reading very much in her childhood. D. She once bought many different kinds of books.
35. Why did the author read less when she was a teenager?
A. She was really tired of reading books. B. She was too busy with her schoolwork.
C. She had no right to choose books herself. D. She found very few suitable books to read.
36. What made the author start reading for pleasure again?
A. Her reading experiences at university. B. Her professor of French literature.
C. A special bookstore abroad. D. A book by Malcolm X.
37. What’s the text mainly about?
A. The importance of discussing a book’s theme. B. The process of the author picking up reading.
C. The ways to form good reading habits. D. The author’s dream to read widely.
C
Seventy percent of our planet is covered by one huge, continuous body of seawater — the ocean. In 2008, the United Nations recognized June 8 as Word Oceans Day. It’s a day to think about the important role that the oceans play in our daily lives, the dangers that our oceans are facing and the action we can take to protect them.
The importance of our oceans: The oceans is home to most plants and animals on earth. Marine (海生的) plants provide us with 70 per cent of the oxygen that we breathe. The ocean controls our climate, providing not only heat in winter but also cool air in summer. It also provides us with both food and medicine. No matter where you live on the planet, no matter how far from the sea, your life may depend on the oceans. Now you know how important oceans are for people!
The problems our oceans face: The most serious problem the oceans face at the moment is plastic pollution. Reducing single-use plastic, including plastic bags and plastic bottles, has been an important theme of World Oceans Day for a number of years. Climate change and rising sea temperatures are also a huge problem. Rising sea temperatures have a direct influence on weather patterns and are seen as partly responsible for an increase in extreme weather conditions.
▲ People celebrate the day in many different ways, including special events at aquariums and zoos, beach and river clean-ups, school activities, art contests and film festivals. You can join in to remind people about the importance of our oceans and to make a difference.
38. Why did the United Nations set up World Oceans Day?
A. To show people how large the oceans are in all. B. To tell people how to deal with the oceans.
C. To make people celebrate one more festival. D. To let people know how important the oceans are.
39. What CANNOT oceans provide us with according to the passage?
A. Food. B. Medicine. C. Clothes. D. Oxygen.
40. Which sentence can we put in “ ▲ ”?
A. How people celebrate the day B. Who can celebrate the day
C. The ways people celebrate the day D. When people celebrate the day
41. The passage above probably comes from ________.
A. an advertisement B. a diary C. a newspaper D. a storybook
D
To Friend or Not to Friend
We all love our parents and turn to them when we’re in need, but would you like them to hear the conversations you have with your friends on the school playground or lunch queue? Social networking sites have been popular, so would you add your parents as “friends” and allow them to view your online activities and conversations with friends?
In the past the generation gap included a technology gap, where children were up to date with latest technology and parents were left behind because they had no need to know more about technology. However, more and more parents are beginning to realize how important social networks are in their lives.
These days many people are attracted to social networking sites because they can choose who they have around them; there’s also a certain amount of control over privacy that we don’t get in real life. Sometimes we feel that privacy is violated when we must accept a “friend” request from a parent or family member.
It’s a difficult choice whether or not to allow a parent to become a part of our online lives. On the one hand we don’t want to refuse their request because that might hurt their feelings or make them feel you have something to hide. On the other hand if you do accept, then you could have a sense of being watched and no longer feel free to comment or communicate the way you did before.
A recent survey suggested that parents shouldn’t take it personally if their child ignores (忽视) their request: “When a teen ignores a parent’s friend request, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are hiding something, but it could mean that this is one part of their life where they want to be independent.” Perhaps talking with parents and giving explanations would help if you do choose not to add them to your friends list.
42. From Paragraph 2, we learn that ________.
A. parents feel secure about the privacy online
B. social networks successfully fill the generation gap
C. parents have realized the importance of social networks
D. social networks offer a platform for parents to communicate
43. Teenagers may refuse a parent’s friend request because ________.
A. they hide something from their parents B. they are unwilling to be watched by parents
C. their parents will fall behind in technology D. their parents make bad comments on them
44. The passage is mainly about ________.
A. parents’friend requests B. social networks C. privacy online D. the generation gap
45. The passage is written mainly for ________.
A. teachers B. parents C. teenagers D. researchers

One day, a baby snail found that he had to carry a big and heavy shell at any time. He was confused, so he went up to his mother and asked, “Why was I born with a shell that grew so hard and heavy?” His mother said, “Because we don’t have bones to hold us up. We can only move slowly, so we need a shell to protect us.”
The baby snail asked again, “The caterpillar(毛毛虫) has no bones, either, and she can’t move quickly. Why can she live without a shell?” The mother snail answered, “That’s because a caterpillar will become a butterfly. She can fly high into the sky. Then sky can protect her.”
The baby snail had one more question, “But the earthworm moves like us. He has no bones and he won’t turn into butterfly. Why doesn’t he carry a hard and heavy shell?” His mother said, “He can dig a hole and hide in the ground, and then the earth can protect him.”
The baby snail then cried, “We are so poor! We have no protection from the sky or from the ground!” His mother smiled at him, “That’s why we have a shell. My dear, imagine that if we don’t have the shells, what will happen to us? Hot sun will dry out our bodies and we’ll have nowhere to sleep. What’s worse, we’ll die in the heavy rain. How terrible it is! We don’t depend on the sky or the ground for protection. We should depend on ourselves.”

二、单项选择（共15小题；每小题1分,计15分）
在下列各题从A、B、C、D四个选项中选择一个能填入题干空白处的最佳答案。
1. —President Xi gave ________ exciting speech on TV at the end of 2021.
—Yes. What ________ great progress we Chinese made last year!
A. an; a B. /; a C. an; / D. /; /
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意：——主席习近平于2021年底在电视上做了一个激动人心的演讲。——是的。去年我们中国人取得了多么大的进步啊！
考查冠词辨析。第一空表示“一个激动人心的演讲”，表泛指，且exciting是以元音音素开头的单词，故第一空填an。第二空后的progress是不可数名词，前不加任何冠词，故选C。
2. Not only children but also my husband ________ crazy about the movie Another Me.
A. is B. are C. am D. were
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意：不仅孩子们，我的丈夫也非常喜欢电影《另一个我》。
考查主谓一致。not only…but also连接并列主语，遵循“就近原则”，所以此句的be动词由husband决定，单数对应的应填is，故选A。
3. ―It seems that your daughter shows an interest playing the guitar.
―Exactly. Her teacher says she has a gift music
A. for; of B. of; for C. in; of D. in; for
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意：——似乎你的女儿对弹吉他感兴趣。——你说的对。她的老师说她在音乐方面有天赋。show an interest in对……感兴趣；have a gift for在……方面有天赋，故选D。
4. Though there are so many things around us that go ________ our will, we can’t give them up because following the dream is important.
A. through B. towards C. against D. beyond
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意：尽管我们身边有很多违背我们意愿的事情，但我们不能放弃，因为追随梦想很重要。
考查介词辨析。through通过；towards朝向；against与……相违背；beyond超过。根据“our will, we can’t give them up”可知我们不能放弃，虽然有些事情会与我们的愿望相违背。故选C。
5. — Waiter, $ 20 for dinner, right?
— I’m afraid $ 25, sir, for drinks are ________.
A. free B. extra
C. high D. spare
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意：——服务员，晚餐20美元，对吗？——先生，恐怕是25美金，饮料是另外计费的。
考查形容词辨析。free 免费的；extra额外的；high高的；spare空闲的。根据“I’m afraid $ 25, sir”可知是比计划的多5美元，应是额外的计费，即饮料是额外的。故选B。
6. —How do you like your life in Grade 9?
—It seemed a little difficult at first, but everything ________ fine now.
A. looks out B. finds out C. turns out D. breaks out
【答案】C

When I was younger, I was crazy about reading. I could get through a whole book in a day, and used to beg my parents every night to let me stay up late so that I could just finish my chapter.
However, while there are many books for younger children, once you reach your mid-teens, the choices become limited. I found myself choosing between books for children that were simple and not that interesting, and adult books that I couldn’t quite understand.
This lack (缺少) of choice finally led me to read less and less. When I was in the secondary school, the only books I read were ones we were told in English class, and I was never very interested in my teacher’s choices.
Luckily, I realized quickly that deciding to go to university meant I had signed up for four years of reading books. I chose a French literature module (课程) in my first year. I started out, thinking I wouldn’t enjoy any of the works we were studying over the course of the year. However, I soon realized that at a university level, the discussion was more fruitful and I found I had a lot to say! And being able to discuss my thoughts with others meant I could better understand the books.
I began reading again for pleasure, starting with Malcolm X’s autobiography (自传) and never looking back. Now, during my year abroad, I spend a lot of my spare time in bookshops and reading in cafes. I’m so happy that I rediscovered my love of books.
34. What does the author want to say in Paragraph 1?
A. She used to stay up late at night. B. She read very fast as a young girl.
C. She loved reading very much in her childhood. D. She once bought many different kinds of books.
35. Why did the author read less when she was a teenager?
A. She was really tired of reading books. B. She was too busy with her schoolwork.
C. She had no right to choose books herself. D. She found very few suitable books to read.
36. What made the author start reading for pleasure again?
A. Her reading experiences at university. B. Her professor of French literature.
C. A special bookstore abroad. D. A book by Malcolm X.
37. What’s the text mainly about?
A. The importance of discussing a book’s theme. B. The process of the author picking up reading.
C. The ways to form good reading habits. D. The author’s dream to read widely.
【答案】34. C 35. D 36. D 37. B

Seventy percent of our planet is covered by one huge, continuous body of seawater — the ocean. In 2008, the United Nations recognized June 8 as Word Oceans Day. It’s a day to think about the important role that the oceans play in our daily lives, the dangers that our oceans are facing and the action we can take to protect them.
The importance of our oceans: The oceans is home to most plants and animals on earth. Marine (海生的) plants provide us with 70 per cent of the oxygen that we breathe. The ocean controls our climate, providing not only heat in winter but also cool air in summer. It also provides us with both food and medicine. No matter where you live on the planet, no matter how far from the sea, your life may depend on the oceans. Now you know how important oceans are for people!
The problems our oceans face: The most serious problem the oceans face at the moment is plastic pollution. Reducing single-use plastic, including plastic bags and plastic bottles, has been an important theme of World Oceans Day for a number of years. Climate change and rising sea temperatures are also a huge problem. Rising sea temperatures have a direct influence on weather patterns and are seen as partly responsible for an increase in extreme weather conditions.
▲ People celebrate the day in many different ways, including special events at aquariums and zoos, beach and river clean-ups, school activities, art contests and film festivals. You can join in to remind people about the importance of our oceans and to make a difference.

A. To show people how large the oceans are in all. B. To tell people how to deal with the oceans.
C. To make people celebrate one more festival. D. To let people know how important the oceans are.

A. Food. B. Medicine. C. Clothes. D. Oxygen.

To Friend or Not to Friend
We all love our parents and turn to them when we’re in need, but would you like them to hear the conversations you have with your friends on the school playground or lunch queue? Social networking sites have been popular, so would you add your parents as “friends” and allow them to view your online activities and conversations with friends?
In the past the generation gap included a technology gap, where children were up to date with latest technology and parents were left behind because they had no need to know more about technology. However, more and more parents are beginning to realize how important social networks are in their lives.
These days many people are attracted to social networking sites because they can choose who they have around them; there’s also a certain amount of control over privacy that we don’t get in real life. Sometimes we feel that privacy is violated when we must accept a “friend” request from a parent or family member.
It’s a difficult choice whether or not to allow a parent to become a part of our online lives. On the one hand we don’t want to refuse their request because that might hurt their feelings or make them feel you have something to hide. On the other hand if you do accept, then you could have a sense of being watched and no longer feel free to comment or communicate the way you did before.
A recent survey suggested that parents shouldn’t take it personally if their child ignores (忽视) their request: “When a teen ignores a parent’s friend request, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are hiding something, but it could mean that this is one part of their life where they want to be independent.” Perhaps talking with parents and giving explanations would help if you do choose not to add them to your friends list.
42. From Paragraph 2, we learn that ________.
A. parents feel secure about the privacy online
B. social networks successfully fill the generation gap
C. parents have realized the importance of social networks
D. social networks offer a platform for parents to communicate
43. Teenagers may refuse a parent’s friend request because ________.
A. they hide something from their parents B. they are unwilling to be watched by parents
C. their parents will fall behind in technology D. their parents make bad comments on them
44. The passage is mainly about ________.
A. parents’friend requests B. social networks C. privacy online D. the generation gap
45. The passage is written mainly for ________.
A. teachers B. parents C. teenagers D. researchers

The baby snail asked again, “The caterpillar(毛毛虫) has no bones, either, and she can’t move quickly. Why can she live without a shell?” The mother snail answered, “That’s because a caterpillar will become a butterfly. She can fly high into the sky. Then sky can protect her.”
The baby snail had one more question, “But the earthworm moves like us. He has no bones and he won’t turn into butterfly. Why doesn’t he carry a hard and heavy shell?” His mother said, “He can dig a hole and hide in the ground, and then the earth can protect him.”
The baby snail then cried, “We are so poor! We have no protection from the sky or from the ground!” His mother smiled at him, “That’s why we have a shell. My dear, imagine that if we don’t have the shells, what will happen to us? Hot sun will dry out our bodies and we’ll have nowhere to sleep. What’s worse, we’ll die in the heavy rain. How terrible it is! We don’t depend on the sky or the ground for protection. We should depend on ourselves.”

To Be a Better Self
I am very proud that I have grown up during the past three years. As a teenager, I think what I can do to my country is to make myself a better man. I think there are three aspects.
First of all, I do my best to improve my study. I manage my time reasonably. I go over what I have learned in time after class. And I must listen to the teachers and take notes carefully in class. Secondly, good interpersonal relationship is also very important for us. I try to communicate with my classmates and teachers. I usually share my feelings with my friends. However, I also help my friends to bring out the best in them. Last but not the least, I will take part in voluntary activities. I will plant trees every year and make my contribution to bringing green to our environment. I will go to the old people’s home to visit the elderly and tell them stories and sing to them.
I hope my experience is of great value to you. And I do believe you can become better and have a promising future.
