Both my wife and I are running lovers. I usually run on the track in my neighbourhood. Most people walk on the track, so I am faster than them. My speed seems amazing to the walkers, and I often pass by them twenty or more times around the track. This makes me feel proud.
One day, a short man came. He didn’t look like much of a runner. I saw him get out of the ear and warm up before running when I passed by two walkers. He started running a few metres ahead of me. He was fast but I sped up and managed to catch up with him. I had someone to compete with. But after a lap (圈), I fell behind him and had great difficulty in breathing. After two laps, my foot began to hurt, so I had to slow down and began to run at my usual speed. This time I could breathe easily without sounding like I had a lung disease (肺病) and the pain in my foot went away. In a very short time, he was far ahead. He was too fast for me to follow. I learned several lessons. There will always be slower and faster ones. Some have natural talent, and some have trained harder. Don’t judge (判断) the capacity of a person by how he or she looks.
The point is that we each have our own speed. When we are trying to keep up, we often end up hurting ourselves and being out of breath. Slow down or speed up but run your race to your best. Don’t run fast when you should be running slowly. Don’t run at all when you should be walking. Don’t walk when you should be running.
29．What was the writer’s first impression of the short man
A．He must be an amazing runner. B．He was too proud of himself.
C．He couldn’t be good at running. D．He could be an experienced driver.
30．What happened to the writer when he slowed down
A．His foot didn’t hurt anymore. B．His breath became much heavier.
C．He felt angry for falling behind. D．He started to have a lung disease.
31．What does the underlined word “capacity” probably mean
A．Hobby. B．Advantage. C．Personality. D．Ability.
C
Human beings are amazing creatures. We have walked on the moon, cured diseases, and built many structures, from the ancient Great Wall to modern buildings. So what is it that makes us so special The answer is our brains. The human brain is a fantastic body part that controls everything from your breathing to your memories and imagination. Below are several more surprising facts about this natural supercomputer. The brain does not fully grow until age 25.
Scientists have discovered that while most areas of the brain finish forming before we leave high school, the areas that deal with planning and reasoning aren’t fully grown until one’s 20s. What’s more, after the age of 24, the brain actually starts going into a slow drop, making our 20s the time when our brains are truly at their top!
Three-quarters of the brain is water.
As a result, our brain is always in great need of water, which is one reason why it’s important to drink lots of water. The brain’s large water content also affects its texture (质地).
Our brains aren’t the biggest, though they are the brightest.
We often think that a bigger brain equals a better brain. And while humans do have large brains, ours aren’t the largest in the animal world. Besides, we don’t even have the largest brains among humans. Neanderthals (穴居人), though. Brain size is important, but the brain’s structure is even more so. Indeed, the human brain deals with a lot of hard work in a small space.
Of course, these aren’t the only interesting things about the brain. In fact, our brains still have a lot of secrets for scientists to find out.
Left hemisphere (半球） The left hemisphere mainly works for abstract (抽象) thinking, while also controlling the movement of the right side of the body. And the left hemisphere helps with language processing. Right hemisphere The right hemisphere helps to understand space relationships, process pictures, and control the movement of the left side of the body. Moreover, the right hemisphere deals with your moods.
32．How does the writer begin the article
A．By comparing animals’ brains. B．By giving an answer to a question.
C．By providing different numbers. D．By describing a special experience.
33．What do we know about human brains according to the passage
A．They work best in their thirties. B．They are the largest in the world.
C．They play a big role in breathing. D．They are similar to puddings in colour.
34．What may a patient who hurt his left hemisphere have difficulty in
A．Giving directions. B．Speaking to others.
C．Feeling happy. D．Drawing pictures.
35．Which of the following is true about brains
A．Scientists already have a deep understanding of brains.
B．We can help our brain grow faster by doing more exercise.
C．The larger the brain size is, the brighter the animal will be.
D．To help keep our brain healthy, drinking water is necessary.
D
Have you ever watched amazing drone (无人机) light shows They’re really cool to watch! These shows often happen during big events like the Olympics or national celebrations. People really love them.
You might be wondering how these shows work. Well, they use a lot of drones with bright lights on them. First, someone programs a computer to tell the drones what to do. Then, that program goes to each drone. After that, people on the ground use the computer to make the drones move. When everything is ready, the show starts. All the drones fly up at the same time and move in the sky in a beautiful way.
The number of drones can make different effects. For example, some shapes need more drones than others. Simple shapes need fewer drones, and more complicated (复杂的) shapes need more. The number of the viewers (观众) and how far away they are also decide how many drones are needed so everyone can see the show well.
Even though these drone light shows are really cool, there are still ways to make them better. New tools and technology can help make the shows even more amazing. Also, the people who design the shows are trying to find new ways to make them even better.
36．What does the underlined word “them” refer to (指)
A．The shows. B．The people. C．The events. D．The celebrations.
37．What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A．The people who set up the programs.
B．The place to watch drone light shows.
C．The reason why drone light shows start.
D．The steps to make drone light shows.
38．What decides the number of drones in a show
A．What the shape is. B．How tall the viewers are.
C．What the show is for. D．How high the drones can fly.
39．According to the last paragraph, what can we expect in the future
A．Lighter drones. B．Less expensive tools.
C．Smaller design teams. D．Greater performances.
40．Which is the best title of the passage
A．Drones Shows B．Sports Shows
C．Big Events D．Different Animals

For many Chinese people, the Lantern Festival, which fell on Feb.15, 2022, marks an end to two weeks of the Lunar (农历) New Year. For folk artist Wang De, it is also the busiest, best time for him to show his craft (手艺) creating molten (熔化的) iron fireworks.
Wang, who is a blacksmith (铁匠) of the 500-year-old art of dashuhua, which means “creating tree flowers”, lives in Yuxian County in the city of Zhangjiakou, North China’s Hebei Province.
To create molten iron fireworks, scrap iron (铁屑) is melted to 1,600℃ and thrown against a cold wall to blinding effect.
Wang, 58, and his assistants put on over a dozen dashuhua shows for local people and tourists as part of the Spring Festival activities each year. The folk artist hopes the tradition can bring more visitors to his hometown of Zhangjiakou, which caught international attention.
Dashuhua is a traditional form of fireworks show that takes place during certain festivals. In ancient times, this was a show that only those people with wealth and high social positions could afford. There are only four people left in China who have mastered (掌握) the ancient practice, and three of them are not young, according to local media reports.
Because of the risk of the show, it’s easy for dashuhua artists to get hurt when they are giving shows. And the high-risk tradition is still only kept for the brave. During a show a few years ago, Wang got serious burns on his leg and it took two months to recover (恢复).
Both Wang’s father and grandfather were blacksmiths. “I learned the craft from my father. When I was young, I thought it was exciting. But years later I also felt it was my duty (责任) to pass it on to the next generation (代),” he says.
51．What does dashuhua mean
52．During which festival do Wang and his assistants give dashuhua shows every year
53．Who could afford dashuhua shows in ancient times
54．Are dashuhua shows very dangerous
55．How do you think Wang will pass his craft on to the next generation from the last paragraph

【范文】：
Dear Harry,
I have learned about your problems. I want to offer you some useful suggestions.
You said you sometimes felt lonely and was not good at making friends. Just take part in all kinds of activities and communicate with your classmates and teachers more often. You’d better also learn how to get on well with others. It seems that you spend a lot of time playing computer games. That’s not good for your study and health. Try to spend less time on them. You also said you were not good at English and your classmates laughed at you. Pay no attention to those students who laugh at you. Listen to the teacher carefully and ask your teacher for advice.
I hope you’ll feel better about yourself in the future.
Yours,
Mr. Green2024牛津译林版九年级英语上册期中测试卷
