(A)
Ffh. Ffh. Ffh! It was not just the empty nest (鸟巢) of a pewee bird as Amy had found the last five days. Amy
ran home through the woods.
“Mum!” she shouted. “I see birds. Two. In cave (洞穴). Beautiful!”
Mum smiled. Birds! Always birds! From the moment Amy woke up in the morning to the moment she closed

her eyes at night, she thought only of birds.
Amy climbed straight to her attic room—her museum, she called it. Every shelf, every spare inch of floor, was
covered with nests, bird models and natural science books. The walls were covered with pencil and crayon
drawings of many different kinds of birds, all signed “Amy in the woods.”
“Are those the same birds who built the nest last year? Will they return to the cave next spring?” Amy always
wondered
“I will study my cave birds. I will draw them just as they are.” Amy made up her mind.
In a week, the birds were used to her. They were busy building their nest as Amy watched and drew with her
pencils. Soon the dried brown nest became a soft green bed.
Amy watched as two baby birds came out. She watched as the young birds flew for the first time. She began to
feel a part of this small family.
When the days grew shorter and the autumn air began to bite, Amy knew the birds would leave soon. But
would they come back? She had to know!
In bed that night, she formed a plan.
The next day, when the mother and father birds were away from the nest, she tied something to one leg of each
baby bird. A week later, the birds were gone. . .
The days grew longer again. One morning. Amy heard a bird call, “Fee-bee! Fee-bee!”
She ran to the cave. Watching the way the birds flew in and out of the cave, Amy knew her friends came back.
But where were last year’s babies? Did they return too? She began to search the woods near the cave, listening for
their call.
Inside a little house, she found two birds building a nest. One wore a silver ring around its leg. Up the small
river, under a bridge, she found two more nesting birds. And one wore a silver ring around its leg.
Amy smiled and called, “Fee-bee! Fee-bee!”
26. What did Amy want to find out in the whole story?
A. Where and how the birds spent winter.
B. Why the birds and their babies came back.
C. Whether the same birds would return.
D. How she could make friends with the birds.
27. What can we learn about Amy from her museum?
A. She often studied birds with her mother.
B. She had rich bird-watching experiences.
C. She liked drawing more than other hobbies.
D. She wanted to keep her hobbies as secrets.
28. How did Amy carry out her plan in the late autumn?
A. She marked each baby bird with a silver ring.
B. She separated the baby birds from their parents.
C. She cared for the birds and watched them grow.
D. She used the birds’ language to call them back.

29. What happened to the two baby birds when the second spring came?

Many people know that robots explore space and build things in factories. But
did you know that there are many other kinds of robots? Let’s meet some of these
robots and find out what they do.
Robot 1
If your family are moving to a new house, this two-legged robot is a good
helper. It can lift several heavy boxes and carry them to the moving truck before
returning inside for more. It has the ability to walk more carefully and skillfully than
other robots.
Robot 2
Powered by the sun, this robot works in a forest. It keeps an eye on everything
from animal movements to the forest’s temperature, then sends the information back
to the scientists. This robot can watch how the environment changes for a long
period of time, which is difficult for humans.
Robot 3
This pie-making robot is cutting a pie into pieces in the kitchen. It uses its arms
to do all the things human cooks might do when they make food. But it makes much
more food than human cooks. It can prepare a pie in 45 seconds and cook 80 pies an
hour. It even divides your pie and boxes it up.
Robot 4
This bright orange robot helps repair the machines under deep water. It can
reach the part which is too deep for a human diver. Humans program where the
robot should go and what it should do. This robot can also help humans explore the
sea and discover new living things. But it can’t work for long underwater.
30. Which of the following shows the correct match between the robots and their working places?

(C)
I don’t believe it! I’m still sitting here writing my paper. I’ve had two weeks to
prepare and write it and I need to hand it in tomorrow. A month ago
I made a
decision to never leave things to the last minute. Well, I’ve failed. I’ve also been
trying to go running to get fitter with my classmates after school for four weeks. But I
really feel it’s difficult to follow my plan now. Why is it so hard to break a bad habit
and form a good one?
I’ve just read an article and I’ve discovered that it isn’t my problem! In fact, it’s
our brains. Our brains are programmed to make it difficult to break bad habits.
Research shows when we do something the same way repeatedly, our brain notices.
It’s just like, “Oh, writing a paper is hard. We still have time. We can relax for now?
Got it!” If we always do things like that, we get “into the habit” of leaving things to
the last minute. We may even get a reward (奖励) from this bad habit, at least at first.
Our brain may say, “Ah, relaxation! I like this!” Slowly, it seems that we can’t stop
doing the habit or control it. Maybe it’s because we don’t know how to get the
rewards without doing it.
But that’s not all. Scientists have also discovered that it takes ten weeks to form a
good habit. That’s because ten weeks is the amount of time the brain needs to change
and accept a new habit as part of everyday life. The good news is that once you make
it to ten weeks, everything becomes a lot easier. The bad news is that ten weeks is a
really long time, so you may give up your plan sooner.
So there you are. Maybe we want to change our ways and become better people
but our brains won’t let us. Or is this just an excuse? Look—I’ve finished my
paper on time! Anything is possible!
By Ana
33. Who is Ana?
A. A schoolgirl.
B. A brain scientist.
C. A teacher.
D. A sports coach.
34. What can be a reason why it’s hard to break a bad habit?
A. Our brains avoid doing things repeatedly.
第7页/共13页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司
B. Our brains are not programmed to notice it.
C. Our brains need relaxation from time to time.
D. Our brains enjoy getting the rewards from doing it.
35. How many more weeks will it take Ana to develop her habit of running after school?
A. Four.
B. Six.
C. Eight.
D. Ten.
36. What does Ana want to tell us at the end of the passage?

B. Don’t forget to make a plan beforehand.
C. Stick with the ways you are doing habits.
D. It depends on you to control your habits.
(D)
Have you ever heard of upcycling? It is a way of turning old or unnecessary things into something useful and
often beautiful.
Is it the same as recycling? Recycling usually takes old things, like paper and glass, and breaks them down to
make a new product. When you upcycle an object, you are probably doing something different. You can simply
refashion it. For example, you might make a bag out of an old T-shirt. Also, the upcycled object is usually in the
same, or even better condition.
Upcycling isn’t a new idea. Some of the best examples of modem-day upcycling come from the old times. In
those days, things were repurposed over and over until they were no longer useful. Upcycling is a way of life.
Things shouldn’t be just thrown away when they can be saved and turned into something useful.
It’s clear that upcycling is green. It is also considered to be more environmentally friendly than recycling.
Upcycling can just require your own ideas and work, but recycling requires energy (能源) or water to break down
things.
Grace, a young woman from the UK, takes used tea bags and turns them into dresses, shoes and even hats.
Every day she drinks some tea, then dries out the tea bags with the tea still in them. When they’re dry, she takes the
tea out and puts the bags together to make an item of clothing. This can take a long time, but Grace has made lots of
artworks.
In fact, no matter you create objects from old things or buy ready-made products from upcycled things, both
ways are helpful for the environment and can bring you something that’s both beautiful and useful. Get started
today!
37. What does the underlined word “refashion” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Break down useless things.
B. Collect used things.
C. Create things out of old ones.
D. Come up with good ideas.

38. How is upcycling different from recycling?
A. It’s a completely new idea.
B. It needs more energy.
C. It requires more time and work.
D. It’s a greener way of life.
39. Why does the writer tell the story of Grace in paragraph 5?
A. To list the steps of doing upcycling.
B. To give a good example of upcycling.
C. To express a different idea of upcycling.
D. To provide basic knowledge of upcycling.
40. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To encourage people to do upcycling.
B. To introduce the history of upcycling.
C. To compare upcycling with recycling.
D. To explain the importance of recycling

An unforgettable school trip
Our school organized a trip to the Science Museum last Saturday. I went there with all the students and
teachers of Grade 9 together.
We got together at 8:00 a.m. at the school gate and left for the museum by bus. We took a lecture by the guide
as soon as we got there. After that
we took a visit around the different halls of the museum. A variety of advanced
inventions had been displayed, from the appliance to industry, education and life. What impressed me most was the
experience of the usage of them, which made me have a better understanding of the knowledge of AI. We also enjoyed
the delicious food cooked by an AI robot. How amazing!
At the end of the visit, we said goodbye to the AI guide. It is a meaningful trip which not only broadens our
horizon of the creation world, but also builds up our national confidence. I made up my mind to study hard and make a
contribution to my motherland.
