【答案】BCACC DABDD
【解析】本文讲述中国的“拔苗助长”的故事。告诫我们，不能违背自然规律，不能急功近利。文章通过讲述一个农民急于让秧苗长高，结果反而导致秧苗枯死的故事，强调了这个观点。接着，孟子的话则对这个故事进行了深入的阐述和解读，强调了遵循自然规律的重要性。我们不能为了短期的利益，一意孤行做出伤害自然的行为，即使那些行为的初衷可能是好的。
1. B.文中表达的是农民觉得秧苗没有长高，所以选择某天和前一天比较无太大区别的“高度”。
2.C 因为农民看不到秧苗快速地长高，他变得不耐烦，所以答案是“impatient”。
3.A. 秧苗是在“土壤”中生长的，所以他把它们从“土壤”中拉出一点。
4.C. 根据文中"it took him a whole day to pull all the seedlings."，我们能确定答案是“day”。
5.C. 此处表达的是农民的儿子听到他的行为后没有说任何话，所以答案是“nothing”。
6.D. 文中提到所有被拉高的秧苗都枯萎了，故选择“died”。
7. A. 孟子说，很少有人意识到拉高秧苗的害处，所以选择“aware of”。
8.B. 由于人们放弃除草和浇水，稻苗无法正确地成长，所以选择“properly”。
9.D.孟子说，拉秧苗帮助它们成长比缺乏除草和浇水更糟，所以选择“worse”。
10.D. 在文章的最后一段，它说任何人的行为，即使有良好的意愿，只要这些行为与自然“nature”冲突，都会带来伤害。因此，选择“nature”。

【解析】这篇文章的主旨大意是：一些过去的中国品牌因为年轻人不了解而“消失”，但最近一些老品牌回归了市场。文章讨论了一些中国品牌通过直播销售，并相互推销彼此的产品。人们购买这些产品的原因是因为它们价格合理且质量好，同时购买者也因为能够帮助这些老品牌重回市场而感到自豪。文章最后指出，直播只是一个开始，品牌应该通过提供优质且价格合理的产品来保持人们的兴趣，并不应该利用人们的信任。
11.根据文章第一段内容可知，许多这样的品牌“消失”了。根据常识，"gone away"意味着消失。答案选D
12.细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容可知，Bee & Flower之所以有机会销售他们的产品是因为人们在讨论昂贵的眉笔。

B
Most Valuable Player was what I hoped to get. Back in Grade 6, soccer became my favorite sport. I wasn’t the best player on the team at the beginning of the year. But after a lot of hard work, by the end of the year, I felt that I was the MVP
As the soccer season went on, we finally finished second in the city. Our team was a very good team, and I was a big part of that. Kenny was the captain (队长), but I was the player who scored the most goals in the team. Kenny would always pass the ball to all his players.
At the end of the year, there was a sports dinner at school. People got prizes for excellent performance. Everyone on the team felt that I would get the MVP. At the end of the dinner, the teacher stood up and announced (宣布) the winners for the prizes, “The winner for MVP is — Kenny.”
I was shocked. After the event, the teacher came up to me and explained. He said, “You were the best player on the team, but you did not pass the ball. You were out there for yourself but not for the team. You have to realize that soccer is about the team, not about one individual player.” I was embarrassed (窘迫的) by what the coach had said.
But now that I am in Grade 9 and the captain of the soccer team, I feel that I have learned that a team sport is not just about you. It is about “us”. Now I am both a better player and a better captain because of this.
16. What can we know from the first and second paragraphs
A. The writer got the MVP at the end of the year.
B. The writer’s team won the second place in the city.
C. The writer was the best player as he joined the team.
D. Kenny was the player who scored the most points for the team.
17. How might the others feel when the teacher announced Kenny got the MVP
A. Excited. B. Sad. C. Surprised. D. Angry.
18. Why did the teacher say those words to the writer in Paragraph 4
A. To teach him the skills of soccer. B. To explain the spirits of soccer to him.
C. To encourage the writer to play more. D. To suggest the writer giving up soccer.

【答案】16. B 17. C 18. B 19. C 20. D
【解析】本文主要讲述了作者作为进球得分最多的球员，却出乎意料地与“最有价值的运动员”称号失之交臂。经过教练的一番解释之后，作者才明白：只顾自己出彩，却忽略团队协作的行为不可取。
16.细节理解题。根据“As the soccer season went on, we finally finished second in the city.”可知作者的团队获得了该市的第二名。故选B。
17.推理判断题。根据“Everyone on the team felt that I would get the MVP. At the end of the dinner, the teacher stood up and announced the winners for the prizes, ‘The winner for MVP is — Kenny.’ ”可知队里每个人都觉得作者会是MVP，但结果却不是，由此推出大家可能会很惊讶。故选C。
18.推理判断题。根据“You were the best player on the team, but you did not pass the ball. You were out there for yourself but not for the team. You have to realize that soccer is about the team, not about one individual player.”可知作者的老师说这些话是为了让作者意识到足球是团队运动，而不是突出个人的运动，由此推出老师是为了向他解释足球的精神。故选B。
19.词义猜测题。根据“You were out there for yourself but not for the team. You have to realize that soccer is about the team, not about one individual player.”可知作者只想着自己，但足球是关于团队的，并非关于单个选手的，由此推出individual意为“单一的”，即“single”。故选C。
20.主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了作者作为进球得分最多的球员，却出乎意料地与“最有价值的运动员”称号失之交臂。经过教练的一番解释之后，作者才明白：只顾自己出彩，却忽略团队协作的行为不可取。故选D。
C
Imagine that the battery on your mobile phone has run out. You can’t make any calls for help and no one can contact you. You are all alone, and well, not quite. Just reach into your pocket and take out a piece of sugar. Put it into the battery, wait a minute and you are back on the phone.
Thanks to a couple of American scientists, this situation could become real. Swadesh Chaudhuri and Derek Lovely have invented the “bacteria (细菌) battery”. This kind of battery gets its power from bacteria that eats sugar and turns it into electricity.
“This is a special organism (有机体),” Lovely said. “You can get enough electricity to power a cell phone battery for about four days from a spoonful of sugar.”
In the past, bacteria batteries have been expensive and not long-lasting. But this battery uses a more efficient bacterium that can turn 80 percent of sugar into electrical energy. This is 30 percent more than similar batteries can manage.
The bacteria battery could become as small as a household battery. It is also cheap and stable (稳定的), because
sugar can be taken from waste and crops.
But the sugar-to-electricity process is not satisfactory as it could take weeks for the bacteria to change a cup of sugar into electricity. And it produces “greenhouse” gases which pollute the environment.
The scientists understand there is a lot more work to be done. “It is still young.” said Lovely.
“Where we are now is where solar power was 20 or 30 years ago.”
He also believes the battery will be used in scientific equipment at the bottom of the ocean. Ocher ideas include using sugar in the blood to run medical devices in the human body and taking sugar from animal waste to provide energy to power homes in rural (乡村的) areas.
21. What’s the passage mainly about
A. An effective way to repair the mobile phone.
B. A scientific invention of a new type of battery.
C. A clean energy to reduce the carbon dioxide.
D. A new kind of mobile phone and its future.
22. Which of the following is NOT the advantage of the newly-developed battery
A. Convenient. B. Stable C. Inexpensive. D. Quick
23. Which of the following are the scientists working on to improve the new battery
A. Increase the bacteria. B. Solve the pollution problem.
C. Bring down the price. D. Change the size of the battery.
24. What does the underlined sentence actually mean
A. The bacteria battery shares some similarities with solar energy.
B. Scientists will continue their work until they find solar power.
C. There is still much room for the improvement of the bacteria battery.
D. The bacteria battery will be as popular as solar power in twenty or thirty years.
25. According to the last paragraph, who will find the bacteria battery less useful
A. Divers. B. Farmers. C. Doctors. D. Architects.
【答案】BDBCD
【解析】文章介绍了一种新型的糖转电能的细菌电池，讨论了其优点、存在的问题及未来改进和应用方向。
21．B. 文章主要讲述了一个新型的细菌电池的科学发明。
22.D.正文提到电池的优势包括便捷、稳定、便宜，但第五段提到将糖转化为电能的过程可能需要数周，所以速度不是该电池的优点。
23.B.文章中提到，细菌电池产生的温室气体会污染环境，因此科学家们正在努力解决这个污染问题。
24.C. 划线句子提到，细菌电池发展到现在的阶段就像20或30年前的太阳能，意味着细菌电池还有很大的改进空间。
25.D.根据最后一段，细菌电池有可能应用于海底科学设备、人体内的医疗设备以及利用动物废物为乡村地区供电。建筑师在这些行业中相对来说对细菌电池的需求较小。

Two thirds of the students went to the cinema. They watched a film about the inventor Edison. The rest of the students attended the robot competition. These robots have different shapes. Some robots are as big as cars. Some are as small as cups. Some robots can answer the students’ questions. This reduces the use of computers and mobile phones. Some robots are like snakes. If the buildings fall down, the robots can help look for people under the buildings.

Most Valuable Player was what I hoped to get. Back in Grade 6, soccer became my favorite sport. I wasn’t the best player on the team at the beginning of the year. But after a lot of hard work, by the end of the year, I felt that I was the MVP
As the soccer season went on, we finally finished second in the city. Our team was a very good team, and I was a big part of that. Kenny was the captain (队长), but I was the player who scored the most goals in the team. Kenny would always pass the ball to all his players.
At the end of the year, there was a sports dinner at school. People got prizes for excellent performance. Everyone on the team felt that I would get the MVP. At the end of the dinner, the teacher stood up and announced (宣布) the winners for the prizes, “The winner for MVP is — Kenny.”
I was shocked. After the event, the teacher came up to me and explained. He said, “You were the best player on the team, but you did not pass the ball. You were out there for yourself but not for the team. You have to realize that soccer is about the team, not about one individual player.” I was embarrassed (窘迫的) by what the coach had said.
But now that I am in Grade 9 and the captain of the soccer team, I feel that I have learned that a team sport is not just about you. It is about “us”. Now I am both a better player and a better captain because of this.

Imagine that the battery on your mobile phone has run out. You can’t make any calls for help and no one can contact you. You are all alone, and well, not quite. Just reach into your pocket and take out a piece of sugar. Put it into the battery, wait a minute and you are back on the phone.
Thanks to a couple of American scientists, this situation could become real. Swadesh Chaudhuri and Derek Lovely have invented the “bacteria (细菌) battery”. This kind of battery gets its power from bacteria that eats sugar and turns it into electricity.
“This is a special organism (有机体),” Lovely said. “You can get enough electricity to power a cell phone battery for about four days from a spoonful of sugar.”
In the past, bacteria batteries have been expensive and not long-lasting. But this battery uses a more efficient bacterium that can turn 80 percent of sugar into electrical energy. This is 30 percent more than similar batteries can manage.
The bacteria battery could become as small as a household battery. It is also cheap and stable (稳定的), because
sugar can be taken from waste and crops.
But the sugar-to-electricity process is not satisfactory as it could take weeks for the bacteria to change a cup of sugar into electricity. And it produces “greenhouse” gases which pollute the environment.
The scientists understand there is a lot more work to be done. “It is still young.” said Lovely.
“Where we are now is where solar power was 20 or 30 years ago.”
He also believes the battery will be used in scientific equipment at the bottom of the ocean. Ocher ideas include using sugar in the blood to run medical devices in the human body and taking sugar from animal waste to provide energy to power homes in rural (乡村的) areas.
21. What’s the passage mainly about
A. An effective way to repair the mobile phone.
B. A scientific invention of a new type of battery.
C. A clean energy to reduce the carbon dioxide.
D. A new kind of mobile phone and its future.
22. Which of the following is NOT the advantage of the newly-developed battery
A. Convenient. B. Stable C. Inexpensive. D. Quick
23. Which of the following are the scientists working on to improve the new battery
A. Increase the bacteria. B. Solve the pollution problem.
C. Bring down the price. D. Change the size of the battery.
24. What does the underlined sentence actually mean
A. The bacteria battery shares some similarities with solar energy.
B. Scientists will continue their work until they find solar power.
C. There is still much room for the improvement of the bacteria battery.
D. The bacteria battery will be as popular as solar power in twenty or thirty years.
25. According to the last paragraph, who will find the bacteria battery less useful
A. Divers. B. Farmers. C. Doctors. D. Architects.
