广东省广州市天河外国语学校2024-2025学年九年级上学期开学考试英语试题
Imagine you are going to give a speech the next day.The night before, you spend a lot of time thinking about the possible mistakes you might make and whether you're prepared enough. Well, you might be overthinking.
Overthinking means going over the same thought again and again, analyzing( 分 析 ) the simplest situations or events too much.
According to The Conversation, overthinking comes from one of our primitive instincts(原始 本能). The primitive mind will always see things in the worst possible light.Our brains are always looking for threats(威胁), to make a plan to deal with those threats and keep us safe.
Some people believe that overthinking may be helpful because it helps us look at a problem from every possible angle(角度) and get ready for what might happen. However, research suggests that overthinking can make us stressed, anxious(焦虑的) and depressed (忧郁的).
What's more, overthinking might create problems with how you get along with others.As you think the worst, make incorrect guesses, or worry about every little thing others do and say, you might misunderstand their intentions(意图).
So, instead of sitting and thinking about a problem again and again, you can distract(转移注意 力）yourself for a bit. Your brain might find better ways to solve the problem while you're doing something fun, like gardening(园艺), or even while you're sleeping.
Also, when you find yourself overthinking, challenge these thoughts. Ask yourself if they make sense and think about other possibilities.It can be hard at first,but recognizing that you are overthinking can help you make a change.

The Communist Youth League of China(CYLC中国共产主义青年团) was born in May 1922. It is 102 years old this year. Almost every year in May, hundreds of teenagers get together at Tuanyida Square in Guangzhou. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}
In 1932, a special school opened in a small village of Ruijin, Jiangxi. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Its first 124 students arrived in December. They were between 14 and 25 in age. They learned about history, politics, geography and other skills. Every night, the students read books and newspapers. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}
At that time, the young people who wanted to join the CYLC made the application form(申请书) by themselves. They needed to write why they wanted to be a CYLC member and how they would do it. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} The form might be different over time. However, the spirit of the CYLC has never changed.
Do you know the song of the CYLC? In 1987, Hu Hongwei wrote the lyrics. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Later, Lei Yusheng composed(作曲) the song. It became the song of the CYLC in 2003.
A. It's the first school of the CYLC. B. It is the place which the CYLC was born in. C. Now the application form is printed in a standard form. D. He sees young people as a sea of flowers in May and the rising sun. E. They not only learned knowledge, but put what they learned into practice. |
A. Some are as large as a school bus. B. However, you can't dive too deep. C. However, some animals eat meat. D. It can take you into a wonderful undersea world. E. The deeper it is, the less sunlight there is. F. The water is very warm and comfortable for swimming. |
The undersea world is very beautiful. Now more and more people want to dive(潜水) in the water to find the secret there. Scuba diving is a new sport today. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}
You will find many strange animals in the sea. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}Some give out light in the dark and some have sharp teeth.
During the day, there is enough light. Here, under the sea, everything is blue and green. When fishes swim nearby, you can catch them with your hands. When you have bottles of air on your back, you can stay in deep water for a long time. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} And you must be very careful when you dive in deep water.
The deep sea is not an easy place to live in. It's cold. And it's dark too. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} At about 3, 000 feet, there is no light at all. It is very dark in the sea. Many fishes have no eyes. Some have big eyes. A few have eyes on one side. Beside the cold and the darkness, deep-sea animals face a third danger—other animals. Animals eat! They must find food to eat. Many animals eat plants. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} This means these sea animals have two big jobs. They need to find animals as food, and they have to try not to become other animals' meal.
