浙江省兰溪市聚仁中学2024-2025学年九年级上学期期中测试英语试题

 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

Have you heard of the saying "Fall down seven times, stand up eight. "? It means that no matter how difficult things get and no matter how many mistakes you have made, you still have the passion(热情) and energy to keep going. This is called perseverance and it can help you achieve lots of things.

Perseverance means keeping doing something over a long time, even when it gets difficult. It's believed that you can reach a goal if you prepare to work for it. Practicing a skill on your bike over and over again or finishing a picture without throwing it away shows perseverance. Florence, 12, says, "It means never giving up, being determined and trying hard to push yourself. I go running with my mom three times a week, even when I don't like it, because I want to be the fastest in my class. "

Studies show that feeling hopeful and working towards a goal can reduce stress and make you feel happier. Achieving something you've worked hard for, and overcoming challenges along the way, can also develop your confidence and make you feel braver to try new things. Angela Duckworth, an expert in thoughts and feelings, believes that it doesn't matter how talented, clever or rich you are, having    grit is what really helps you succeed. She explains, "No matter how gifted you are, and no matter how easily you do well in your lessons, you should have perseverance. "

Duckworth believes perseverance is something anyone can learn, and the best way to do this is to have a growth mindset. This means believing that your brain can grow, and that you can achieve anything if you put your mind to it. So instead of thinking "I can't do this", try thinking "I can't do this. . . yet".

(1)、How does the writer lead to the topic "perseverance"?
A、By listing a fact.      B、By explaining a saying. C、By describing a scene. D、By giving an example.
(2)、Why does the writer take Florence for example in Paragraph 2?
A、To show the goal Florence has. B、To explain what perseverance is. C、To tell how Florence practices running. D、To introduce a way to learn perseverance.
(3)、What does the underlined word "having grit" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A、Being strong-minded. B、Being brave. C、Being independent. D、Being hard-working.
(4)、What does the writer mainly tell us according to the passage?
A、Fall down seven times and stand up eight. B、People with a growth idea can do better. C、Practicing riding your bike again and again. D、The power of perseverance can help us achieve lots of things.

    What is the sky? How high is it? What color is it? What birds can live above it? These questions are difficult to answer, aren't they? In fact, the sky has no color. Then why does the sky look blue?

    We know that there is air around the world. When planes fly, they need air to lift their wings. Planes can't fly very high. That is because the air gets thinner when they go higher. The same will happen to us if we go high enough. If we go up about 1,200 kilometers from the earth, we'll find no air there. Some birds can fly into the sky as high as a plane, but they cannot fly or live without air.

    Looking up above us, you will see the blue sky with white clouds. It is usually light blue. The color would be bluer when you see on the top of a high mountain. And you will see fewer clouds in the sky between you and the sun. Sometimes the sky doesn't look blue. When the sun rises and falls, you will see red, orange and other colors in the sky, such are the most beautiful moments of the day.

    Who can see the colors of the sky high above the earth? The astronauts! They can see those beautiful colors of the sky from the outer space. However, before flying into the outer space, they sit in a spaceship high above the earth and there is no air at all. The sky would be that dark and its color would be black.

    Now you may understand that we see colors because the air scatters (使散射) the sunlight. Light travels through the air. Without air there would be no colors.

Spring is here, and it is time to enjoy West Lake Longjing tea. Usually, we think of workers picking tea leaves by hand. But now, some Longjing tea is being picked by smart tea-picking robots!

In a Hangzhou tea garden, a smart tea-picking robot developed by Zhejiang SciTech University begin to work for the first time. "We took thousands of pictures of new tea buds (芽) and put them into the robot for it to learn. The robot uses an AI model to recognize (识别) the buds it needs to pick,"said Professor Chen Jianneng, Party branch secretary (党支部书记) of the research team. This lets the robot find the right tea buds about 90% of the time.

The robot's arm pulls and sucks (吸) up the tea buds. These buds are quickly moved into a special box. After the robot collects all the buds from the area it's working at, it moves the buds from the box to a main box.

The robot was made because there are not enough people to pick tea leaves. In Zhejiang, about 400,000 more pickers are needed now. "Picking is the biggest challenge for the development of the tea industry," said Professor Wu Chuanyu, who leads the research team.

"Tea-picking robots are a trend (趋势) of the future," said Wu. About five years from now, the robots will do the job of picking West Lake Longjing tea instead of people, Wu added.
