D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题) (12分)
I’m sitting in my favourite spot on a hill, surrounded by trees and soft green grass. The wind gently blows, and the sun shines brightly in the early morning. It’s the perfect temperature, neither too hot nor too cold. This place brings me peace, and I feel calm. I come here whenever I can, though it’s rare now. It holds a special place in my heart, especially because I’ve always imagined visiting places where nature and ancient buildings are closely connected, like the peaceful temples hidden in the mountains.
But now, the reality is different. I switched off my mask, and released electrodes（电极）from my skin. I know my time here is over. I’m in a spaceship, with artificial light, metal floors and narrow rooms — nothing like the green hills and trees I once knew. The peaceful breeze is replaced by the noise of machines. The long journey to Mars is lonely. That’s why I need some virtual （虚拟的）activities to stay calm.
We are on the greatest mission of humanity, but I worry about losing what makes us human. If we reach Mars, we should do more than just build shelters— we must protect nature there, just as we should have done on Earth. If we fail, Mars will become another empty planet.
Let’s not repeat the mistakes of the past. Our true strength lies in caring for our planet, not just settling in new worlds.
88. What is the writer's favourite place (2’)
89. Does the writer feel comfortable in the spaceship (1’)
90. Why does the writer need some virtual activities (2’)
91. What does the underlined phrase “the greatest mission of humanity” refer to (2’)
92. What should humans do if they reach Mars according to the passage (2’)
93. If you were to go on a journey to another planet, what kind of place would you want to have in your virtual activities And why is that place important to you (3’)

D. Listen to the passage and fill in the blanks. (听短文，完成下列内容。每空格限填一词)
We all talk to ourselves sometimes, but not everyone does it in the same way. How you do it can make a big difference to your life. The good news is that you can learn to have better self-talk.
First of all, listen to what you say to yourself. Do you tell yourself that you are not smart or good enough If you keep doing it, you may start to believe it. Try to turn the negative self-talk into positive one. You can use words like “can” or “will”. For example, you may say, “I will write a great article.”
Also, you can try to use the second or third person in your self-talk. In one study, scientist Ethan Kross asked 89 people to give a speech, with only five minutes to get ready. As they prepared, he asked some to use “I” in their self-talk. These people were more likely to be anxious. They said things like, “I can’t prepare a speech in five minutes.” The other people were asked to call themselves “you” or by their own names. They were more likely to give themselves support. They said things like, “Ethan, you can do this!”
“Talking in the second or third person helps people put some distance between themselves and their feelings,” said Kross. “It helps people think more clearly about their own problems, in the same way they think about other people's.”
21. big difference 22. keep doing 23. second, third 24. prepare, speech 25. more clearly

I would want a virtual version of my hometown’s park. It has a lake where I used to feed ducks and a tree I climbed as a kid. This place is important because it holds my childhood memories and makes me feel connected to who I am, even in space.2025学年第一学期九年级英语期中试卷

We all talk to ourselves sometimes, but not everyone does it in the same way. How you do it can make a big difference to your life. The good news is that you can learn to have better self-talk.
First of all, listen to what you say to yourself. Do you tell yourself that you are not smart or good enough If you keep doing it, you may start to believe it. Try to turn the negative self-talk into positive one. You can use words like “can” or “will”. For example, you may say, “I will write a great article.”
Also, you can try to use the second or third person in your self-talk. In one study, scientist Ethan Kross asked 89 people to give a speech, with only five minutes to get ready. As they prepared, he asked some to use “I” in their self-talk. These people were more likely to be anxious. They said things like, “I can’t prepare a speech in five minutes.” The other people were asked to call themselves “you” or by their own names. They were more likely to give themselves support. They said things like, “Ethan, you can do this!”
“Talking in the second or third person helps people put some distance between themselves and their feelings,” said Kross. “It helps people think more clearly about their own problems, in the same way they think about other people's.”
