2022-2023学年第二学期第二次模拟考试九年级英语试题一、完形填空（共10小题，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从每小题A、B、C、D中选出一个能填入文章中相应空白处的最佳答案。Maths isn’t an easy subject for some.Parenting website, Mumsnet, shared a simple    1    puzzle that said: “A man buys a horse for $60. He sells the horse for $70. He then buys the horse for $80. And he sells the horse again for $90. In the end, how much money did the man make or lose?    2    did he break even?”Peerie Breeks, who shared the brain problem wrote on the    3   : “Can’t understand how so many people on Facebook have it so completely wrong. Without adding your reasoning, tell me what you think the    4    is.”But the problem has left Facebook users more confused than ever, because there are different answers about whether to make    5   .One Facebook user said: “Actually it breaks even. He sold it for 70 but had to put another 10 in to buy it 80. Sold it for 90 made 10 but put in 10 to buy it back at 80.”Another didn’t    6    and instead of thinking the man broke even, thought he was down $40. She said: “The man is down $40. Did we forget the original $60 he    7   ?”Someone said the man made a $20 profit when he bought and then sold the horse.In order to put any all confusion to rest, a math teacher explained the problem in a comment on Facebook. He said: “He buys a horse for $60. Sells for $70. Put that $   8    aside. Buys the horse for $80. Sells it for $90. Another $10 profit.”This isn’t the    9    time a seemingly easy puzzle has baffled the Internet.A year ago, a woman shared a confusing brain problem on Twitter when she realized the puzzle was intended for six year old children. The question read: “There were some people on a train. 19 people get off the train at the first stop. 17 people    10    the train. Now there are 63 people on the train. How many people were on the train to begin with?”The correct answer is 65. However, similar to the previous brain problem, the Internet was still confused over how to arrive at the answer.1. A. math B. history C. science D. geography2. A. So B. Or C. And D. But3. A. book B. magazine C. newspaper D. website4. A. address B. amount C. answer D. advantage5.

A. search for B. catch up C. get on D. stare at二、阅读理解（共16小题，满分32分）阅读短文A、B，从各题的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。ABefore we upload a photo of ourselves to social media, like WeChat, we’ll use an app to smooth our skin, make our eyes look bigger, and give us longer eyelashes and fuller lips. With a couple of touches on our mobile phone, we’re able to present the best pictures of ourselves to others.However, the problem is, when we simply edit our imperfections (瑕疵) away, we’re also changing the way we look at our ourselves.Last month, researchers from the US Boston University published an article Selfies - Living in the Era of Filtered (滤镜) Photographs. The article listed the bad effects of photo editing on people and the possibility to cause appearance worries.The researchers think that these apps make it difficult to tell between reality and fantasy (虚幻). “These apps allow one to change his or her appearance in minutes and follow an unrealistic standard of beauty,” the article says.In the past, people might compare their looks to those who were famous that time. But for today’s young people, beauty standards are most likely set by what they see on social media. “From birth, they are born into an age of social platforms, and their feelings are connected to how good they look,” a British doctor Escho said.This is why many young people suffer an appearance worries when it comes to how they really look. “Now you’ve got the comparison of your real self to fake self that you present on social media,” Rence Engeln, a professor at Northwestern University, told the Huff Post website. He further pointed out that when people spend too much time comparing with others, they may become “beauty sick” and find it difficult to accept what they actually look like.So when we look in a real mirror, we shouldn’t think to ourselves, “Do I look as good as myself in the Beauty Cam (美颜)?” Instead, we should think, “I feel good, I have my health.”11. What may people do before they present the best of themselves on social media?A. Wearing false eyelashes. B. Redding their lips before going out.C. Using apps to edit photos. D. Smoothing their skin in the morning.12. Which of the following is right according to the passage?A. Everybody looks as good as himself in the Beauty Cam.B. These apps make it easy to tell between reality and fantasy.C. The article listed the bad and good effects of photo editing on people.D. People today pay more attention on how good they look than in the past.13. What did the author write this passage for?A. To call on people to care more about appearance.B. To call on people not to use apps on mobile phones.C. To call on people to spend too much time comparing with others.D. To call on people to learn something more important than appearance.BType in “A cat wants to go to space” and ask the robot to write a bedtime story. Just one second later, you’ll get the story of Max, who was on his way past many difficulties to sing among the stars.This robot writer is real. It’s called ChatGPT. From writing Shakespeare-style poetry to making music, ChatGPT has amazed the world since its launch out in late 2022 by the US company OpenAI. OpenAI developed it to generate (生成) human-like texts. It can translate languages, talk with people and write songs, poems and even jokes. It’s one of the most zowerful AI of its kind, with the complete writing abilities of a real person!People around the world have tried ChatGPT and posted their results on social media. Some used it to write history reports, some asked it to take notes of presentations, and some even generated advice on how to communicate with people at a party, reported The Atlantic.The power of ChalGPT lies in is speed and understanding of complicated (复杂的) matters. We may spend hours researching, understanding and writing an article on the theory of evolution (进化论). But ChatGPT can produce a well-written one in seconds. Another good thing about it is that if you ask dark, harmful questions, such as how to make weapons (武器), it will not give you an answer.ChatGPT comes along at a time when AI is becoming increasingly able to do creative tasks. There is no doubt that ChatGPT is a powerful tool. However, some schools in the US, Australia and France have banned (禁止) the use of ChatGPT. In the US, for example, New York City public schools banned students and teachers from using ChatGPT on the local networks and computers, CNN reported. The move comes out of worries that the tool could make it easier for students to cheat on homework. Some also worry that ChatGPT could be used to spread improper information.“It does not build critical-thinking (批判性思维) and problem-solving skills,” said Jenna Lyle, the deputy press secretary of the New York City Department of Education. “The materials they create are difficult to tell from those made by humans. This causes many problems, such as the issue of copyright (版权). Since the system is largely trained using words from the Internet, it can also pick up on the Internet’s biases (偏见) and stereotypes (刻板印象) about certain groups. These are all the things that depend on humans to solve.”14. The cat story was written to ______.A. show what creative work ChatGPT can do B. introduce a cat that wants to go to spaceC. introduce a series of bedtime books D. show how robots create scientific research15. What do we know about ChatGPT?A. It is still under development.B. It is the most powerful kind of AI.C. It can write almost anything humans can write.D. People cannot tell the difference between ChatGPT and humans.16. Paragraph 3 is mainly about ______.A. the disadvantages of ChatGPT B. the most popular use of ChatGPTC. what people think about ChatGPT D. how ChatGPT has helped people so far17. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?A. How people feel about writing in the future. B. What problems AI writing can cause.C. People’s wrong ideas about AI writing. D. Human efforts in developing AI writing.C阅读短文C，根据短文内容，从短文后面的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项是多余项。Telling Chinese stories to the world is a responsibility for those of us who can speak English. If you want to tell the world a “Chinese story”, what would you choose to talk about? Students at a speaking competition offered their own answers.    18   . This topic showed strong confidence in our own country.   19   . Some of them talked about Chinese traditional stories, such as Confucius’ travels. Others preferred more modern stories, such as the Belt and Road (一带一路). But most contestants chose to share personal stories. For example, one contestant talked about how his mother worked hard to raise him.   20   . Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the eighth month in Chinese lunar calendar. But in Ningbo, it is on the 16th day. One student told a story to explain this. During the Song Dynasty, a person named Shi Hao would go to Ningbo and celebrate the festival with his mother every year.    21   . To his surprise, everyone there was waiting for him to celebrate. The story shows the importance of family reunions (团聚) in Chinese culture.We believe telling stories is a good way to help foreigners understand China better.A. But one year, he was late and returned on the 16th day of the eighth lunar month.B. We should love our Chinese culture.C. The contestants (参赛者) chose different types of stories.D. Chinese culture is also a good choice to share.E. The topic of the competition was A Chinese Story I Want to Tell the World.D下面的材料A-E是五位网友对一些问题的建议，请根据五位同学各自提出的问题，帮助他们选出合适的建议。22. Henry: How strange!

They like drinking beer and wine until late at night and talking very loudly. What should I do?24. Sabine: I don’t know if I should help those in need. There are many negative (负面的) news reports about the trouble resulted from helping others.25. Peter: I really want to visit Harbin in winter one day, but I’m afraid I’ll never have enough money to spend on this trip. Any solution?26. Daisy: I always study hard because I want to be the first in my class. Now I get good grades but there is something wrong with my health and I often get sick.A. Don’t allow money to be the excuse that gets in the way of your dream. You can plan a free trip or make some money by doing a part-time job.B. Exercise will help you. I suggest you go to school by bicycle or on foot. It’s good for your health. And remember study is not the only thing you should care about.C. You should tell your friend about the problem. If he or she doesn’t mind, it’s OK. You can ask your friend to go to the repair shop with you.D. Of course go to help! It’s true that someone hurts his helper instead of giving thanks. However, most people are thankful to those who help them when they are in trouble.E. You can write a letter to them. Also, you can give a warning by sending them a copy of the local noise rules. If nothing has worked, you can call the police.三、选词填空（共10小题，满分10分）根据短文内容，选择适当的单词填空，使短文意思完整。每个选项只用一次，有两项剩余。用方框中所给单词的适当形式填空，使短文完整正确（每个单词限用一次，每空填一个单词。）first  ways  rushes  more  been  Slowly  into  keeping  made  most  longer  theirThey weigh almost nothing, yet they are stronger than steel. In fact, some spiders’ webs are among the world’s strongest materials, and they can be pulled    27    than elastic (橡皮筋). They can also be    28    into different shapes. Spiders have hundreds of small openings (开口) in    29    bodies. Silk comes out of these openings as liquid (液体), and then it becomes thread-like (像线一样) when it reaches the air.Spiders can make many different kinds of threads. They can be thick or thin, wet or dry, or sticky (粘性的). Each kind has a different purpose. Some webs create an egg box. Others provide hiding places. The    30    common purpose of spiders’ webs, however, is to catch food.There are many    31    a spider can use to catch food using its web. For example, some spiders produce a single thread. An insect then sits on it without realizing what it is doing, and becomes stuck.    32   , the spider moves towards the insect. Suddenly, it covers its food in silk.Some spiders use a different kind of trick. They make webs that cheat insects. At    33   , an insect sees the web and thinks it is a flower. It then lands on the web. The spider can feel even the smallest movement of the web, and    34    at the insect before it can get away.Spiders’ webs are so amazing that engineers have studied them for years. They want to learn why they are so strong and elastic. However, for the moment, spiders are    35    the secrets.

One day, he    39    (ask) to fight around South America, while the ship was damaged by the Spanish. He was afraid that the ship would sink, so he tried to land on the next island.

Though there was nobody else on the island, there were animals,    42    rats, cats and goats. The rats were such fierce animals that he had to use wild cats to protect himself during the night.

He kept it in the car until evening, when he took it home and started nursing it back to health.“Since I love animals, I said to myself that I should take her home instead of leaving her as dinner to foxes,” Mirzan said, “We got used to each other. We never separated.”Even after the swan’s broken wing healed (痊愈), it didn’t try to fly away. Instead, it acted as a friend to the other animals on Recep’s farm, and decided to stick around. Recep named her Garip and now she has been with him ever since.“She comes when I call. Since 1984, she has never left me, not even during the river floods,” the retired postman said. “She used to be stronger, but she has grown old now. If she dies, I will make her a nice grave (墓穴) here, but I hope we live more together.”During the day, she is busy following her human friend around, either during his daily chores, or on his evening walks.After his wife died a few years ago, Recep Mirzan started spending more time with his animals, and since he has no human children, he regards Garip as his child.47.

On Saturday morning, together with my grandparents, I searched the Internet for the train schedule, the weather in Beidaihe, and some hotel information. In the afternoon, I went to the train station and managed to buy two tickets for my grandparents although there was a long queue. After dinner, I packed into the suitcase the things my grandparents need, such as clothes, glasses, an umbrella, and a map. The next morning, I went to the station to see them off. Waving goodbye to them on the platform, I felt happy for them and wished them a safe journey.Respecting the old and cherishing the young is a traditional Chinese virtue. I am proud of what I have done for my grandparents.
