2025-2026学年（上）平凉九年级质量检测英语

1、阅读下面短文，将划线部分译成英文或中文。

In July, China introduced the “double reduction (双减)” policy. One month has passed since the new semester began. How do students feel about this new policy?

“Our homework is clearly less than before,” said 13-year-old Shen Yuzhe from Beijing. “1. We are not required to take many examinations any more, and the exercises are mostly from the textbook.” According to Shen, teachers now teach at a much slower pace (节奏). Students have enough time to process new knowledge. 2. “Our teachers are also giving us more time to find the secret to learning by ourselves.” said Shen. “For example, we went to research earthworms (蚯蚓) in a field during a biology class. 3. This is a better way to learn things than just hitting the books.” Hitting the books means you are studying hard, which used to be a popular way to get good grades.

For 13-year-old Zhang Hangming from Tianjin, the best thing about “double reduction” is the increased time in after-school activities. 4. “通过参加各种俱乐部，我们能学到更多。 I have joined a group called ‘leadership development’(领导力发展) where I can learn all kinds of skills beyond academic (学业的) study,” said Zhang.

They also pointed out that now self-discipline (自律) becomes the secret to learning. “After finishing homework, 5. 一些学生花更多时间放松自己。” But if you use all the free time to relax, you might fall behind your peers (同龄人),” he said.

25、What do you do if you’re stranded （处于困境的）on a lonely island？Surely you need to find a way to get  in touch with the outside world. Your best chance of Body signals（信号）.

Pilots from different countries understand body signals if they have the correct training. When you wave  your arms up and down in a straight line，it means “yes”. When you point downwards and swing your arm from  side to side ，it means“no”. If you want the pilot to know that it’s safe to land，push your hands out in front of  you and bend（弯曲）your knees. If you want to say that it’s not safe to land ，put your arms in the air and move  them to one side.

Smoke signals

The smoke from a fire can be seen from far away ，so it’s a good way to draw attention .If  the weather is dry，it isn’t hard to start a fire. Remember that fires can be very dangerous if they get out of  control. Never  light a fire unless you’re sure that it can’t spread .If the ground is dark，light smoke can be seen more  easily .Green grass and leaves produce light smoke.

Ground-to-air signals

It’s a good idea to build some signals，too. Use large pieces of wood to make the symbols（标记）.If you can’t find any wood，use earth. Some useful symbols are：

F  “I need food and water”.

II  “I need medicine”.

I  “I am badly hurt”.

X  “I am unable to move from here.”

Pilots’ replies

If the pilot lowers the plane’s wings from side to side ，this means“message received and understood”（At  night，the pilot flashes the plane’s green lights.）If the pilot flies the plane in a clockwise circle ，this means“message  received but not understood”.（At  night ，the pilot flashes the plane’s red lights.）

However，there is no signal which means “message not received”. Why not？

【1】Which picture means“it’s not safe to land”？

【2】What can we learn from the passage？

A、Swinging your arm from side to side means“yes”.

B、If the ground is dark，light smoke can’t be seen.

Some parts of the sea are shallow(浅的). But in some places the sea is very deep. The h【5】mountain in the world is about 9 kilometers high. But the deepest place of the sea is n【6】 11 kilometers deep.

The sea can be very cold. At the top, the water may be warm. But if you go down, it b【7】colder and colder. In most parts of the sea, there are l【8】of fishes and plants. Some live near the top of the sea. O【9】live deep down.

You know that the sea is salty. If you swim in the sea, you can taste the salt. Some parts of the sea are more salty than other places. For example, the Dead Sea is so salty that swimmers can’t sink(下沉) in it! And fish can’t live in it, either. What a s【10】 sea!

29、Everyone knew that Stuti was the best speller in the whole class. She could spell difficult words like “encyclopedia” and “amendment” very ________. She used to get perfect scores during each weekly spelling test.

Ms. Daisy, her English teacher, made a ________ for the spelling tests that any child who doesn’t get at least 60% correct spellings would have to correct each wrong word and copy three times for next week’s spelling test. Seema, who sat next to Stuti always struggled （挣扎） in spellings. Last Thursday, she received 56%, which meant she had to ________ the rest 44% words three times.

Stuti was so ________ in her spelling abilities that she decided not to study for her next spelling test. The test began. Ms. Daisy pronounced each word and then repeated it. Everything was OK until she spoke “Handkerchief”. Stuti scribbled （匆匆书写） h-a-n-d-k-e-h...now what? Her mind was blank.

Ms. Daisy started to move on to the next word. An idea came into Stuti’s mind that Seema ________ how to spell it! Seema had written this word three times.

There it was, spelled out in Seema’s handwriting. Her eyes went quickly back to her own paper and ________ the word with the letters “i-e-f”.

Stuti remained nervous as Ms. Daisy read the last spelling word. She had ________ just for the first time in her life. She thought, “Is this the way I want to keep my perfect record—by being a cheater?”

Finally, she erased what she had written earlier and replaced it with what she knew was the wrong answer. She wrote “e-i-f”. As her hands put down her pencil and passed the test up to the front, she sighed with relief （解脱） . She thought, “So what if my perfect scores are no longer being kept? At least my ________ is.”
