Agnes was known far and wide for her kindness. She would spend her days tending to her garden, always making sure that she had enough flowers and vegetables to share with her neighbors. Her house was never empty; it was always filled with the laughter of children who came to hear her stories, and the grateful presence of those who needed a helping hand or a warm meal.One winter, a terrible snowstorm hit the village, leaving many without food or heat. Agnes opened her home to anyone in need, sharing what little she had. Despite the harsh conditions, her generosity kept everyone’s spirits high. The storm lasted for weeks, but eventually, it passed. When the snow melted, the villagers found themselves surrounded by an abundance of wildflowers, something they had never seen before. It was as if nature itself was thanking Agnes for her kindness.Years later, when Agnes passed away, the villagers decided to honor her memory by planting a garden in the center of the village. They called it “Agnes’ Garden,” and every year on the anniversary of her death, they gathered there to celebrate her life and the power of kindness.Questions:1.What was Agnes known for in her village?Answer: Agnes was known for her kindness, which manifested in her generous acts towards her neighbors, including sharing from her garden and opening her home during the winter storm.2.How did Agnes help her community during the snowstorm?Answer: During the snowstorm, Agnes opened her home to anyone in need, sharing her food and providing warmth, keeping the villagers’ spirits high despite the ha rsh conditions.3.What did the villagers find after the snowstorm had passed?Answer: After the snowstorm, the villagers found their surroundings covered in an abundance of wildflowers, which they believed was nature’s way of thanking Agnes for her kindness.4.How did the villagers decide to honor Agnes after her passing?Answer: The villagers honored Agnes by planting a garden in the center of the village and naming it “Agnes’ Garden.” They gathered there annually to celebrate her life and the impact of her kindness.5.What lesson does this story convey about kindness?Answer: This story conveys that kindness can have a profound and lasting impact on a community, leading to a cycle of generosity and gratitude, as demonstrated by Agnes and the subsequent actions of the villagers.Each question is worth 4 points.五、作文（30分）Let’s title this section as follows:Part V: Writing (Total 30 points)Instructions: For this part, you are required to write a composition entitled “My Ideal Vacation”.

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.
