（2022·江苏·盱眙县教师发展管理中心研训部九年级期末）When you’re going to a new school or going to a party, meeting people and making friends can be challenging. However, it doesn’t have to be so hard. Try a few of these simple suggestions, and you’ll be on your way quickly.
Listen and Ask Questions
Other people like to know they’re heard and that their ideas are valued. By being a good listener, you let others know that you value what they have to say and who they are.
You can let others know you’re paying attention by looking at their eyes from time to time while they’re speaking, then asking a question or two about what they’re saying. If the conversation goes well, ask the person for his or her phone number or email, then make plans to hang out.
Give a Compliment
If you notice something you like about someone, give a compliment. Sharing it with him or her is a great way to start a conversation.
When giving a compliment, be honest and true. Even if you compliment something very small, like the colour of the person’s shoes, he or she will be very glad to hear it. You might even receive a compliment in return.
Keep Yourself from Technology
You may not notice who’s interested in you if you keep checking your email and text messages. Put away your phone from time to time and take a look around. Who seems funny or interesting? Which person in the room have you never talked to? Who pays attention to your ideas? Remember these people and spend a little time getting to know these people face to face.
Join a Club or Team

（2021·江苏无锡·九年级期末）I can’t remember if I was 9 or 10 years old, but I do remember that it was the last day of 4-H camp. I was looking in the mirror and checking my face for bruises (瘀伤). The day before, for some silly reason, I had got into a fight with another boy. It didn’t take long for the bigger boys to pull us apart and call it a draw, but in truth, I had lost. My head still hurt from a couple of the blows the other boy had landed. We hadn’t talked since the fight either but only stared coldly at each other from across the room.
Still, I was in a good mood this morning because I knew my Mom was bringing some of her homemade pizzas as a treat for my brother, me and our friends. Soon I saw her walking up the sidewalk toward the steps of our cabin (小屋). She had been bringing these pizzas to us every 4-H camp for years now. I saw her smile as my brother and his friends all took the big cut pieces. She made sure, though, to save the last two pieces for me. I thanked her with a smile and started to eat when I saw my fight opponent（对手）standing off to the side by himself. At that moment, something moved me. I walked over to him and gave him one of the pieces. We talked, laughed and ate. And for some reason unknown to me at the time, the pizza tasted better than ever before.
I can see now what moved my heart. A little miracle (奇迹) was working inside of me—moving me to forgive, to give and to love. And I am so happy that I followed my heart.
Scottish writer Henry Drummond wrote: “You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have truly lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love.”

（2021·江苏无锡·九年级期末）On Nov 8, Wang Yaping, a female astronaut (宇航员) of Shenzhou XIII, became China’s first and the world’s 16th female space walker. The expected six-month journey in space has left many curious about the differences between male and female astronauts, especially in terms of performing extravehicular (舱外的) activities (EVAs). Except body challenges, female astronauts have special advantages.
Understanding between astronauts is very important for carrying out EVAs, which is based on excellent communication skills. Women are better in communication and language expression, and this helps female astronauts do extravehicular activities, according to Yang Yuguang, head of Space Transportation Committee.
Men and women are different in body size, which also gives women special advantages for spacewalks. “Their generally smaller size is an advantage, as women will be able to control their weight better and perform different kinds of tasks,” Pang told China Daily.
Women in general weigh less, eat less food, use less oxygen(氧气), and therefore require less fuel(燃料) to get into space. An astronaut must weigh between 55 kilograms and 70 kilograms to fit in the cabin (舱) of spacecraft and use less fuel, according to CGIN.
A different body shape requires a different spacesuit. A spacesuit was prepared for Wang’s extravehicular activities, which was lighter than the males’. Designers optimized the pattern of this spacesuit in the lower part area to make it more suitable for astronauts with slimmer bodies.
According to Pang, many studies have found that female astronauts are more suitable for space tasks, and have advantages over male astronauts in qualities such as attention to detail and thinking thoughtfully .
Men do better in shorter-term, goal-oriented (目标导向的) situations while women are better in longer-term habitation-type (居住类) situations, according to National Geographic.
Women’s taking part in EVAs is an important part of space tasks, and we are seeing history thanks to Wang’s bravery, according to Yang.
14．What do we know about Wang’s extravehicular activities?
A．She is the first ever female space walker.
B．The spacesuit she wore was specially designed.
C．The task was planned to show female’s advantages.
D．She performed some tasks that her male partners couldn’t do.
15．What does the underlined word “optimize”in Paragraph 5 mean in this passage?
A．make something better B．make something worse
C．make something colourful D．make something colourless
16．Which of the following is an advantage females have over male astronauts?
A．Females have better communication skills.
B．Female bodies are stronger and more smart.
C．Females can be used to the life in space more quickly.
D．Females deal with goal-oriented situations better than males.
17．What’s the main idea of the article?

Dorothy and her friends were nervous to get out of the forest as soon as they could, so they hurried along the yellow brick road. It was not long before they came to a wider river.
“What can we do now?” Dorothy cried. “There isn’t a tree tall enough to fall across this river.”
“There’s no problem,” the Scarecrow said. “The Tin Woodman will build a raft (木筏).”
And this is what the Tin Woodman did. And while he was busy making the raft, Dorothy found some wild fruit and nuts, which she ate hungrily. Then, because it was taking the Tin Woodman a long time to finish the raft, Dorothy lay down and went to sleep.
The night passed without any problems, and the next morning the small raft was ready. Dorothy sat in the middle with Toto. The lion stood at one end and nearly made the boat sink (沉没) because he was so big and heavy. The Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman stood at the other end. They both had long poles (杆子) that they used to push the raft through the water.
At first all went well, but then the river became deep, but the poles couldn’t not touch the bottom. The Tin Woodman said, “If we cannot stay near the land and the yellow brick road, the Wicked Witch of the West will use her magic and hurt us.”
“And then we won’t meet the Wizard, and I won’t get any wisdom,” the Scarecrow said.
“And I won’t get a heart,” the Tin Woodman said.
“And I won’t get any courage,” the Lion said.
“And I’ll never get home to Kansas,” Dorothy said. “We must do something.”
The Scarecrow was able to push the raft to the river bank. Dorothy, Toto, the Lion and the Tin Woodman got off. Before the Scarecrow could get off, however, the boat moved away from the river bank and carried the Scarecrow down the river.
Dorothy said, “Perhaps we’ll meet the raft further down the river. The most important thing now is to get back to the yellow brick road and continue on our way to the City of Emeralds.”
The Lion and the Tin Woodman agreed, and they set off along the river bank. It was not long before they saw the Scarecrow. He was holding onto the pole in the middle of the river. There was no sign of the raft.
18．What probably happened to Dorothy and her friends before this passage?
A．They met the Wizard. B．They met danger in a forest.

（2021·江苏无锡·九年级期末）We all know there is a problem with plastic pollution. Five trillion plastic bags are used every year. One million plastic drinking bottles are bought every minute. What if we could use plastic waste to build roads? This is what Toby McCartney has already done.
In 2019, McCartney’s UK-based company, MacRebur, built the world’s first plastic road in Elgin town, Scotland. The plastic waste was made into grains (颗粒) and then mixed with bitumen (沥青). The road looks just like any other road. But it has improved strength and is more stretchy (有弹性的) thanks to the plastic.
“Our technology can not only help solve the problem of plastic waste but also produce roads that deal better with changes in the weather, reducing cracks (裂缝) and potholes (路面的坑洼),” McCartney told the BBC．
McCartney’s idea came from a trip to India. “I saw people in India would put plastic waste into potholes and burn it. The plastic would melt (熔化) down and form a seal in the hole,” said McCartney.
“I knew that there must be some similarities between the plastic and bitumen, which both come from oil. That’s how I started to think about mixing them,” he said.
“We’re just a small part of ending the plastic problems, but it’s nice to be part of it,” McCartney said. “I just don’t want my daughters to live in a world where there are more plastics in our oceans than fish.”
22．Paragraph 1 is written to show that plastic pollution is ________.
A．faster than expected B．better than other pollution
C．a serious problem D．mostly unknown
23．Compared (比较) with normal roads, the plastic road ________.
a. is not easy to break
b. is afraid of hot weather
c. is more stretchy
d. costs more money
A．ab B．ac C．bc D．bd
24．What does McCartney mean in the last paragraph?
A．Plastic pollution will soon be solved with his help.
B．Children should also join to reduce plastic pollution.
C．Plastic pollution is becoming more and more serious.
D．He is willing to offer help in reducing plastic pollution.

（2021·江苏南京·九年级期末）Jazzy new signs in subway stations have been catching the eyes of commuters(通勤者) in Washington, D．C．Instead of rushing to get on a train, people stop to read poems written by kids.
The lighted posters, called “Metro Muse”, appeared at 10 train stops in the busy city. On display: 12 thoughtful compositions to celebrate kids’ creativity and to promote reading.
Writer Laurie Stroblas began the District Lines Poetry Project in 1994, hoping to give bus riders something better to look at than ads or graffiti. She had been leading poetry workshops in public schools, so she asked her students to lend a hand.
“The response(反应) was unbelievable,” says Stroblas. Later, she decided to transfer her ideas to the buses and picked new poems with the advice of 150 students. Organizations donated enough money to keep Metro Muse in subway stations all winter. In spring, a new crop of poems sprouted(萌芽) on city buses.
What were the poems about? Snow falling, the arrival of a new year, love, fear, and peace. Cindy Rosales, a sixth grade student at Oyster Elementary School, was inspired(激励) by her favorite type of music: “Kindness is the jazz,” she wrote. “Bring the big jazz in. The big whole jazz.” Like most poets, the kids had mixed feelings about letting the public read their private thoughts. “I would feel glad that someone read my poem,” one girl said. “But I would feel sad if they missed their train.”
25．Where are the poems posted?
A．In the classroom. B．On the school grounds.
C．Subway stations and trains. D．Subway stations and buses.
26．What are some of the topics of the poems?
A．Love, fear, and peace. B．Death, anger, and war.
C．School tests, and fighting. D．Hope, fear, and rain.
27．The District Lines Poetry Project was _______.
A．started in 1995 B．set up by Laurie Stroblas
C．ordered to begin by the President D．first for the parents and now for the kids
28．Which is the best title of the article?
A．The Poetry Pizza B．The Metro Muse
C．Here comes the bus D．Kids First—Poetry Second

That morning, we noticed a cab following Sir Henry and Dr. Mortimer in London. But who?
We went to Sir Henry’s hotel. Holmes asked Dr. Mortimer if anyone with a black beard (胡须) lived in or near Baskerville Hall.
“Yes,” said Dr. Mortimer, “Barrymore.”
“We must send a telegram(电报) to check whether Barrymore is in London or at Baskerville Hall,” said Holmes.
Sir Henry said he wanted to go to Baskerville Hall.
“OK”, said Holmes. “But you mustn’t go alone. Watson can go with you.”
Sir Henry and I agreed to take the 10:30 train on Saturday.
Holmes thought deeply on the way home: the story of the Hound, Sir Charles’s death, the strange letter, the missing boot and the black-bearded man. He sat in his room all afternoon, smoking and thinking.
Just before dinner, a telegram arrived. It said, “Barrymore is at Baskerville Hall.”
“That becomes a dead end, Watson. We will have to look for another way to go forward.”
Just then the doorbell rang. It was the cab driver who drove the man with the black beard. “I got a message that you are asking for me”, he said. “I’ve never had a complaint. I came here to ask you what you had against me!”
“No, no,” said Holmes. “Instead, I’ll give you money if you tell me about the man in your cab this morning. He watched this house at 10:00 and then told you to follow the two gentlemen.”
The driver looked surprised and then answered, “The man said he was a detective and that I shouldn’t tell anyone about him.”
“It’s serious, my friend, and you may be in trouble if you refuse to answer.” “His name,” said the driver, “was Sherlock Holmes.”
I’d never seen Holmes more surprised. Then he laughed. “He scored against me that time, Watson.”

（2021·江苏无锡·九年级期末）We all want to live the life we dream of. However, at times, some negative (消极的) ideas may stop us. Hope the following suggestions can help to ignore (忽略) those ideas and go ahead.
Do What We Can Control
One thing we can control is doing what we can—eating healthily, exercising, reading and getting enough sleep. Doing the right things can help us achieve the most happiness. Also, it can make us move on in the right direction. However, we should also accept that there are many things we can’t control.
Take Calculated (预料到的) Risks
Success doesn’t come without risks. We all have to take risks in life, but try to make sure those risks are calculated. For example, you are working at a job that you hate, and you are dreaming of giving it up and starting your own business. The thought is a ▲ . But one day, you can’t stand your job any more, so you leave it even though you haven’t really had a plan. This is such a big risk that it will probably make you never want to take a risk again. So just start with a small risk.
Don’t Be Afraid of Failure
Thomas Edison is one of the greatest inventors in history. However, he failed many times. Did you know Edison created an electric pen? A ghost machine? Probably not. Well, that’s because they were complete failures. But those failures put him one step closer to success. Think of failures as milestones (里程碑) towards success.
48．Which word is the most suitable for ▲ ?
A．risk B．start C．decision D．sign
49．This passage is mainly about ________.

D．Follow the suggestions, and you are sure to live the life you dream of.
51．This passage is most probably from a/an ________.
A．science fiction B．advertisement C．announcement D．magazine

On Nov.16, seven astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) woke up to an alarm (警报). A Russian missile (导弹) test had just bombed a satellite into more than 1,500 pieces of space debris (残骸). Some got very close to the ISS.
NASA says space debris like this can travel at more than 28,000 km/h. That’s much faster than a bullet (子弹) (about 3,500 km/h). Even a pea-sized piece of debris could “wipe out” a space station or kill an astronaut if he or she is doing a spacewalk, says Live Science.
Since the 1950s, humans have sent thousands of rockets and satellites into space. Many are still there, and we now face an ever-increasing problem of space rubbish. In 2006, for example, National Geographic reported that a tiny piece of space rubbish hit the ISS, taking a small piece of glass out of a window. In June of this year, a piece of debris ran into one of the station’s robotic arms, which are just like the arms of a robot, and left a hole.
Scientists are trying different ways to deal with the problem. One way is to use a huge net. In 2018, the UK’s Survey Space Center caught some space rubbish with a net in an experiment. It first found the debris, and then collected it with a net and a harpoon (鱼叉).
Another way is to use robotic arms. Clear Space 1, the European Space Agency’s task to clean space rubbish, is going to be sent into space in 2025. It will use robotic arms to catch debris. This plans to throw the debris into Earth’s atmosphere (大气层), where it will burn up as it falls because of strong friction (摩擦).

Life has a way of shaping us. Life can make you doubt or question your purpose. These are thoughts that I have had in my head for many years. Poetry prepares me for my purpose. My purpose is poetry.
In my journey towards purpose, poetry is my safety net. I started writing at the age of 5. By 13, I had written quite a lot of poems. Poetry was my escape from bullying by my peers (同龄人) and teachers when studying in an American country school. They bullied me because of the way I looked. This bullying gave me low self-respect. Poetry was my way to be seen, be heard and be known.
For each important moment in my life, I write poetry. In hard times, I write poetry. I connect with poetry on a deep level. It helps me out of pain. However, writing poetry can’t support me. So I turned to teaching instead.
While living in China, my job is an English teacher. I help teach two classes. The two Chinese teachers I work with tell me how to teach the students English. The teachers decide what I need to do in the classroom. With challenging situations like this, I keep on writing poetry. I write down my feelings. I draw pictures of the real world. I accept a new me. I learn to think about things with confidence. My relationship with poetry grows over time. Poetry stays in the depths of my soul (灵魂).
There is nothing stopping you. The only person standing in your way is you. You have the power. Keep going. Keep believing. Remember that your hard work is not in vain. Go for it! Your purpose is waiting for you!

During the last few years of his life, my dad lived just up the road from me in a tiny house. He had been alone for over 20 years after losing his wife. His mother had recently passed away too. He was disabled and retired (退休), so he spent a lot of time alone.
Several times a week, though, I would take a walk up to his house. We would sit in the living room, drink tea and talk. It wasn’t anything big. We talked about sports, cars, gardening, weather, and enjoyed a laugh over old memories. It wasn’t anything too deep. It was just a simple sharing, a connection between a father and a son, an hour spent just enjoying each other’s company. Those afternoons remain some of my happiest time spent with my dad. It allowed us to gently heal (治愈) any old wounds we had given each other when I was growing up. It allowed us to silently give each other time and love. It allowed us to grow closer together before he left this world.
I know that when my own time in this world is done, I will get to spend another afternoon with my dad. We will sit, talk, catch up, and quietly enjoy each other’s company. We will share all the love we didn’t get to share. And we will remember that afternoon forever.
If there is one thing that I learned from those afternoons, it is this: It is never too late to spend time with those you love. It is never too late to tell them that you love them. It is never too late to heal a relationship and mend a hurting heart. Begin today! Spend an afternoon with those you love and those afternoons will become a lifetime.

Say the boss decides to give you an extra bowl of the world’s best ramen on the house and lets you invite someone to eat for free. But you do not have any loved ones to invite not even a close friend. Your feelings of loneliness will make the ramen tasteless as well.
Ramen is like the expensive things that many of us think we want in life. Nice cars, long vacations, fancy clothes. They’re nice to have, but we shouldn’t forget that the most important things in life are our health and our loved ones. We must first take good care of our health and our loved ones before we worry about having nice things.
Being rich is not always about having more money, it can also come from the heart. Having a rich heart is about finding inner peace. Once you have achieved this, you will be thankful for what you have and be less bothered by what you don’t have. Otherwise, all the riches in the world will not be able to fill your heart.
The next time you are enjoying a bowl of delicious ramen with a loved one or a close friend, think about how lucky you are. When life brings you difficult problems and challenges, remember that these same people are there for you to help you get past difficult times.
