Balancing all these aspects can be challenging, which is why effective time management is crucial. Time management refers to the process of organizing and planning how to divide your time between various activities. It not only helps in improving productivity but also reduces stress and enhances overall well-being.For students, good time management skills can lead to better academic performance. By allocating specific time slots for studying, attending classes, and completing assignments, students can ensure that they cover all their syllabus requirements without last-minute cramming. This not only boosts their confidence but also allows them to have more free time to pursue hobbies or relax.Moreover, time management teaches discipline and responsibility. Whenstudents learn to prioritize their tasks and stick to their schedules, they develop a sense of accountability. This skill is invaluable in both academic and professional life, as it sets the foundation for punctuality, reliability, and meeting deadlines.In addition, effective time management can significantly reduce stress levels. Many students feel overwhelmed by their workload, leading to anxiety and burnout. By planning and organizing their time efficiently, students can break down their tasks into manageable chunks, making them less daunting. This approach not only makes studying more enjoyable but also helps maintain a healthy work-life balance.Lastly, good time management fosters independence. As students take charge of their schedules, they learn to make decisions about their priorities and how they want to spend their time. This autonomy encourages self-reliance and prepares them for the challenges of adulthood.In conclusion, time management is a vital skill for students to master. It not only aids in academic success but also promotes personal growth andwell-being. By incorporating time management techniques into their daily routines, students can lead more organized, productive, and fulfilling lives.Questions:1.What is the main idea of the passage?A. The challenges faced by students in today’s worl d.B. The importance of time management for students.C. How to balance academics and extracurricular activities.D. The benefits of having hobbies and relaxing time.2.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a benefit of good time management for students?A. Improved academic performance.B.

The preposition “in” is used because we’re talking about a physical entry into space.6.If I___________to school on time, I would be able to participate in the quiz tomorrow.a)have goneb)had gonec)god)wentAnswer: d) wentExplanation: The correct option is “went” because it is the past simple tense, which is used to describe an action that was completed in the past and is relevant to the past situation of being late for school. The other options are inappropriate tense forms for this context.7、Title: Fill in the blank with the correct form of the given word to make the sentence grammatically correct.Blank: The teacher asked the students to________(bring) their textbooks to class every day.Answer: bringExplanation: The sentence structure requires the infinitive form of the verb “to bring” after the verb “asked” when using the structure “ask sb to do sth”.8、Title: Fill in the blank with the correct tense of the verb to complete the sentence.Blank: By the time he________(arrive), the train had already left the station. Answer: arrivedExplanation: The sentence indicates that the action of arriving happened before the train left, which is in the past perfect tense (“had already left”).Therefore, the correct tense for “arrive” should be the simple past tense (“arrived”) to show that it occurred before the past perfect action.9、Complete the sentence by filling in the blank with the correct form of the verb in brackets.The students________(prepare) for their final exams when the power suddenly went out.Answer: were preparingExplanation: The sentence describes an action that was in progress at a specific point in the past when something else happened. Therefore, the past continuous tense is used here, formed by “were/was + pr esent participle (-ing)”.10、Fill in the blank with the appropriate preposition or adverb to complete the sentence.After finishing her homework, she logged________her computer and went to bed.Answer: offExplanation: The phrase “log off” is commonly used to indicate that someone has ended their session on a computer or online service. In this context, “off” is the correct adverb to use following the phrasal verb “log off.”五、简答题（本大题有5小题，每小题2分，共10分）1、What are the main differences between present perfect tense and present perfectcontinuous tense?Answer: The main differences between present perfect tense and present perfect continuous tense are as follows:•The present perfect tense is used to talk about actions that started in the past and continue to the present, or actions that were completed at an unspecified time in the past. It emphasizes the result of the action.•The present perfect continuous tense is used to talk about actions that started in the past and are still continuing at the present, or actions that have been going on for some time. It emphasizes the continuity or duration of the action.Explanation: The present perfect tense uses “have/has” followed by the past participle of the verb, while the present perfect continuous tense uses “have/has been” followed by the present participle of the verb. The present perfect tense is more about the completionof an action, while the present perfect continuous tense is about the ongoing nature of the action.2、How can you distinguish between the uses of “like” and “as” in a sentence?Answer: The uses of “like” and “as” can be distinguished based on the following guidelines:•“Like” is used to indicate similarity or comparison between two things or people. It can be followed by a noun, an adjective, or a clause.•“As” can be used in several ways:•To indicate similarity or comparison, like “like,” but it is more formaland can be followed by a clause.•To introduce a comparison by stating two things that are the same.•To introduce a reason or explanation.Explanation: When using “like” for comparison, it is typically followed by a noun (e.g., “She sings like a bird.”) or a clause (e.g., “She sings like she’s never sung before.”). On the other hand, “as” can introduce a comparison clause (e.g., “She sings as beautifully as her mother did.”) or a reason/explanation (e.g., “She sings as she’s been practicing for years.”). The choice between “like” and “as” often depends on the context and the level of formality desired.3、What is the difference between the simple past tense and the past perfect tense in English? Explain with an example.Answer:The simple past tense is used to describe a completed action that happened at a specific time in the past. For example, “I went to the park yesterday.”The past perfect tense is used to describe an action that was completed before another past action or before a specific time in the past. For example, “I had finished my homework before it started raining.”Explanation:•Simple past: Describes actions ending in the past.•Past perfect: Describes actions completed before another past event ora time in the past.4、How can you use the modal verbs ‘could’ and ‘would’ in a sentence? Provide examples.Answer:Modal verbs ‘could’ and ‘would’ are used to express abilities, conditions, or hypothetical situations. ‘Could’ is used for a past ability or possibility, while ‘would’ is used for a habitual action or a future hypothetical situation.Examples:•“Last year, I could ride a bicycle.” (Past ability)•“I could ride a bicycle when I was five years old.” (Past ability, starting a sentence)•“If I had more time, I would travel more.” (Future hypothetical situation)•“I would travel more if I had more time.” (Future hypothetical, startinga sentence)Explanation:•‘Could’ emphasizes past ability or possibility.•‘Would’ brings a sense of willingness or habit in the present or future hypothetical scenarios.5.What are the four main seasons in Britain and their typical weather characteristics?Answer:The four main seasons in Britain are spring, summer, autumn, and winter.•Spring typically features mild and pleasant weather with moderate temperatures and occasional rainfall.•Summer is usually warm and sunny with high temperatures and occasionally some showers.•Autumn is characterized by cooling temperatures, mild rainfall, and colorful foliage.•Winter brings cold and wet conditions with lower temperatures, snowfall in higher elevations, and strong winds.Explanation:This question examines the student’s awareness of the seasonal climate patterns in Britain. The answer provided details the typical weather characteristics of each season, which is essential knowledge for understanding the country’s climate. The explanation emphasizes that British seasons have distinct weather characteristics, which can vary depending on location and the specific month within the season.六、书面表达题（15分）Sure, here’s a sample written expression question for an English midterm exam for the second semester of Grade 9, along with a model answer and analysis.Question 6: Written Expression (30 points)You have learned about environmental issues and how small actions can lead to big changes. Assume you are a member of your school’s Environmental Club and you need to write a proposal to the school principal suggesting ways to make your school more eco-friendly. Your proposal should include: •An introduction explaining why making the school eco-friendly is important.•At least three suggestions on how the school can be made more eco-friendly.• A conclusion that summarizes the benefits of these changes and calls for action.Your proposal should be clear and well-organized, using appropriate linking words and expressions. It should not exceed 250 words.Model AnswerProposal for Eco-Friendly School InitiativesDear Principal,I am writing to propose several initiatives that could transform our school into a more environmentally friendly institution. As members of the Environmental Club, we believe it is essential that we take responsibility for our environment by reducing waste, conserving resources, and educating others on sustainable practices.Suggestions:1.Waste Reduction: Implementing a comprehensive recycling program would significantly reduce the amount of waste produced on campus. We suggest placing clearly labeled recycling bins around the school and organizing workshops to educate students and staff about proper waste sorting.2.Energy Conservation: Transitioning to renewable energy sources such as solar panels could drastically cut down on our carbon footprint. Additionally, switching off lights in unused classrooms and encouraging natural lighting use would conserve electricity.3.Green Spaces: Developing green spaces within the school grounds can enhance biodiversity and provide a tranquil environment for learning. Plantingtrees and creating a vegetable garden would also serve as practical lessons in biology and environmental science.Conclusion:Implementing these eco-friendly changes will not only contribute positively to the environment but will also instill a sense of responsibility among students towards conservation efforts. It is our collective duty to act now for a greener future, and I hope that you will consider our proposals seriously.Thank you for your consideration.Yours sincerely,[Your Name]President of the Environmental ClubAnalysis:The student has effectively communicated the importance of adoptingeco-friendly practices at school.

Reading comprehensionA. Choose the best answerOnce upon a time if we wanted to make a phone call or wait for someone to contact us, we had to sit at home or at our desks. There were public phones in the street of course, but it could be hard to find one that was working and there were often long queues to use them. And of course you had to bring a lot of coins to pay for the calls.So people didn't phone their friends as often. Mobile phones, these small pieces of electronic equipment which allow us to talk with friends and family while we are on the move, have greatly changed the way we live. Before the age of the mobile phone, our loved ones would sit around worried sick if we were late coming home. There were no quick calls to tell mum that there would be additional guests coming for dinner. We would have to depend on notes left on fridges or desks to communicate messages.But mobile phones have also had a negative effect and what people don't seem to realize is that we've lost something very valuable: our privacy. Now our friends and family can contact us wherever and whenever they want to. We can never get away from them. The way people communicate with each other is totally different now. It's difficult to have a conversation face-to-face with a friend without being disturbed every couple of minutes by the ring of their phones, ,most people don't see anything wrong in having a long conversation on their mobile phone while forgetting all about the person sitting opposite.

Read what Claire did and answer the questionsMy stay in the rainforestLast year, I left my job and went to Borneo to work without pay in the rainforest. So many people have said to me, 'I would love to do something like that,' and I say, 'If you want to, just do it.' They always reply, 'l can't.' But, if you really want to do it, there are ways to make it happen.After three day's training, I started work on an environmental project with a group of young people. The accommodation was very basic and we had to build our own place to sleep. This consisted of a simple bed, a cloth roof and a net to keep insects (昆虫) out.It was never dangerous there, but it was very challenging (挑战的). There were things that we didn't think we would manage to do, but we did. I had some of my worst moments there, but also some of my best - it mademe feel alive. I didn't miss my home comforts as much as I'd thought I might. We had food, water, somewhere to stay, about three sets of clothes and really good conversation. We were in the most beautiful place and we had things to keep us busy. We didn't need any more.One of the teenagers said, 'Before we came here, it was really important to me what clothes I wore and who my friends were. I was always thinking about shoes, but really none of that matters. Here, people accept me for who I am, what I believe and think, not for what kind of clothes I've got.' When she said that, it summed it up for me.88. Did Claire get any money from the work in Borneo?89. What did Claire do before she started work on an environmental project?90.
