You fight your way into New York City. It isn’t easy. It isn’t cheap. It isn’t so friendly. So when I got to Helsinki, the capital of Finland, I was surprised at how easy it was. People were friendly and nice. They are curious about what I thought of Finland.Except the coffee and the cost of living, Helsinki and New York don’t have much in common, but I was born in the US Midwest, which was heavily influenced by North Europe. So thelife of Finland seemed familiar to that of the US.Still, I missed New York, I visited it last year, and I went to my old coffee room, still in the same place. Although it was 2023, my mind insisted that it was 2007 and I had never left. The waiter looked at me silently, reaching for the same size cup and pouring the same type of coffee I always got. Same corner, same waiter, same coffee.To the waiter, he guessed maybe I moved to another neighborhood. He wouldn’t guess from my appearance that I haven’t even been in the country. He didn’t find that there was anything different until I opened my mouth. It was something I said, I’m sure. He mistook me for one of the tourists who got lost on their way from Times Square.In my mind, this is my home. It was the place when I dreamed of my childhood, long after I left it; and now I am the same as the other tourists with the packbag.( ) 36. Helsinki is in __________.A. FinlandB. AmericaC. New YorkD. China( ) 37. Compared with Helsinki, the life in New York City is _________.A. easyB. cheapC. difficultD. nice( ) 38. The writer’s real place of birth is _________.A. New York CityB. HelsinkiC. FinlandD. the USMidwest( ) 39. How long had the writer been away from New York before he visited it last year?A. 5B. 7C.9D. 10( ) 40. What made the coffee guy think the writer to be a tourist?A. What he looked.B. What he wore.C. What he said.D. What he did.CMark began to introduce the guest speaker to the listeners, but then stopped for a while. He had forgotten her name.Barbara hid her valuable things when she went on vacation. When she came back, she couldn’t remember where she’d put them.Perhaps you’ve had such experiences like these. Most people have. But most of them haven’t realized that they have a memory problem. Neither do they know a simple but important fact: Memory can be improved. If you’ll just accept that, the following will show you how.First, relax. If you are over worried about remembering something, you’ll forget it. If you keep telling yourself that your memory is bad, your mind will come to believe it and you won’t remember things. When you forget something, don’t follow up with sayings like “Oh, my God! I always forget things!”Such words will have a bad result on you and your memory.But relaxing isn’t enough. To improve your memory, you’ll need to take an active role. Like your body, your memory can be made strong through exercise. Look for opportunities to exercise your memory. For example, if you’re learning a language, try to actively remember a lot of new words.If you don’t take notice of things actively, you won’tremember them. So, you can make pictures of what you see in your mind every day. For example, don’t just put your keys down! If you want to find them again, make a mind picture of the place where you’re putting them.( ) 41. The first two paragraphs just tell us ________.A. Barbara was a very rich personB. Mark often forgot his friends’namesC. examples of memory problemsD. language problems of two persons( ) 42. When you forget things, you ________.A. must be too carelessB. shouldn’t lose heart about your memoryC. must accept the factD. shouldn’t take notice of the result( ) 43. The word “opportunities”in the fifth paragraph means “________”.A. placesB. activitiesC. positionsD. chances( ) 44. According to the passage, ________ can make your memory better.A. realizing your memory problemsB. talking to your friendsC. making mind pictures of what you seeD. doing sports every day( ) 45. The purpose of the passage is to help you ________.A. to improve your memoryB. to introduce the guestC. to remember new wordsD. to forget unhappy things第二部分非选择题（共60分）四、阅读表达（每题2分，共10分）Your smartphone may seem like the centre of your entertainment, but a KentStateUniversity study shows that too much phone use is taking the fun right out of our spare time.Researchers watched a group of nearly 500 students and recorded their daily smartphone use. Those who were considered in the “high-use”group experienced more stress during their spare time than the other group.So what can we do in order to really take advantage of our spare time? We have collected the following activities that also take a few hours to complete, but best part of all, you’llimprove your health in the process（过程）.Whether you’re at home or on holiday, it’s important to disconnect from the Wi-Fi. Walking in a nature can do good to your health. As a professional（职业的）traveler. Samantha Brown put it in a recent passage, “I put my map in my back pocket, put down my phones and take a good, long walk. Just walk around.”Go to bed earlier. What can help improve your mood? Extra sleep, naturally. Getting the right number of sleep is very important to our health and studies show that we don’t get enough of it.Read a book. And let yourself get lost in a good story. Research shows that reading can reduce stress, keep your brain sharp and can even help you sleep better. Everyone should spend at least 30 minutes reading every day.Putting pen to paper is a good exercise. Try writing down your thoughts. Writing has a lot of health advantages. Besides, writing down your thoughts may even help clear your mind.

Here are some key mistakes and some tips.■Sitting for a long timeSo much homework and many computer games make students sit for several hours without standing or walking around. Because of long time sitting, some students have got diabetes (糖尿病) and heart disease (疾病).Tips: ·Get up and out of your chair for about five minutes every hour.·Walk over to a person instead of sending e-mails or text messages.■Eating irregularlySome students develop unhealthy eating habits. Fast food becomes more often. Heavy studying and stress keep students from eating meals regularly.Tips: ·Eat breakfast with eggs at the start of every day.·Never buy unhealthy food like fast food, sweets and candies.·Have three meals a day at the right time.■Sleeping lessIf some students don’t get enough sleep, the smooth cycle of our biological clock (生物钟) is broken.

My taxi driver stepped on the brake (刹车) as hard as possible, and at the 4 moment our car stopped just one inch from the back of the other car.I couldn’t believe what happened next. The driver of the car turned his head around and started 5 bad words. But then here’s what really 6 me. My taxi driver just smiled and waved (挥手致意) at the guy. I said, “Why did you just do that? This guy nearly 7 us!” He told me what I now remember “The Law of the Garbage (垃圾)Truck.”He said, “Like garbage trucks, many people run around full o f garbage, full of anger, and full of regret. 8 their garbage increases more and more, they look for a place to pour it. If you let them, they’ll pour it on you. So when someone wants to pour it on you, don’t feel hurt. Just smile, wave, and move on. You will be 9 .”I started thinking: how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and 10it to other people? Then I knew clearly what I should do.I began to see Garbage Trucks. I see the bad mood people are carrying. I see them coming to pour it. And like my taxi driver, I don’t feel hurt.

It opens doors to new worlds, exposes us to different cultures, and enriches our imagination. As we delve into the pages of a book, we embark on a journey of discovery, learning, and sometimes even self-reflection. In the following article, we explore the various benefits of reading, particularly for junior high school students in their first semester of Grade 9.Firstly, reading improves academic performance. Studies have shown that students who read regularly perform better in subjects like language arts, mathematics, and science. This is because reading enhances vocabulary, comprehension skills, and critical thinking abilities, all of which are essential for academic success.Secondly, reading fosters empathy and emotional intelligence. By stepping into the shoes of characters in books, students learn to understand and appreciate diverse perspectives. This not only broadens their minds but also cultivates empathy, allowing them to better connect with others.Moreover, reading reduces stress and promotes relaxation. In today’s fast-paced world, students often feel overwhelmed with academic pressure and social demands. A good book can provide an escape from reality, allowing the mind to unwind and recharge.Lastly, reading inspires creativity and imagination. The worlds created byauthors are boundless, and they inspire readers to think outside the box and imagine possibilities beyond their immediate surroundings. This can lead to new ideas, innovative solutions, and a lifelong love for learning. Questions:1.What is the main purpose of the passage?A)To entertain readers with interesting stories.B)To promote the benefits of reading for junior high school students.C)To criticize the lack of reading among students.D)To explain the history of reading.Answer: BExplanation: The passage explicitly states its purpose in the first paragraph by exploring the various benefits of reading, particularly for junior high school students in their first semester of Grade 9.2.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a benefit of reading?A)Improved academic performance.B)Increased stress levels.C)Cultivated empathy.D)Inspired creativity.Answer: BExplanation: The passage mentions several benefits of reading, including improved academic performance (A), cultivated empathy (C), and inspired creativity (D). However, it does not state that reading increases stress levels (B). In fact, it says the opposite, that reading reduces stress and promotes relaxation.3.How does reading help in developing empathy and emotional intelligence?A)By providing practical advice on how to interact with others.B)By allowing students to experience different perspectives through characters inbooks.C)By teaching students to memorize complex emotional terms.D)By encouraging students to engage in debates and arguments.Answer: BExplanation: The passage states that reading fosters empathy and emotionalintelligence by stepping into the shoes of characters in books, thereby learning tounderstand and appreciate diverse perspectives (B). This allows students to developempathy and better connect with others. The other options do not accurately describe how reading helps in developing empathy and emotional intelligence.三、完型填空（15分）Cloze Test (For Grade 9, First Semester, Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press Edition)Passage:It was a cold winter morning.
