九年级英语上册期末试卷附答案（3）

　　三、阅读理解(每题2分，共40分)

　　A

　　More and more people around the world are joining in dangerous sports. Some people climbed the highest mountains; some traveled into unknown parts of the world; some sailed small boats across the largest sea. Now some people begin to look for new excitement.

　　Bungee jumping (蹦极) and motorcycle racing (摩托车赛) are quite dangerous sports. Bungee jumping only lasts for a few minutes or even seconds. You jump from a high place, about 200 meters above the ground, and there is a rubber band (橡胶带子) tied to your legs. When you jump down, the rubber band pulls you up. About 2,000,000 people around the world have tried bungee jumping.

　　Why do people join in these dangerous sports Some scientists say that it is because modern life has become safe and it is not interesting. In the past, people lived in danger. They had to go out and look for food, and life was like a fight but was interesting.

　　Many people think that there is little excitement in life. They live and work in safe places, buy food in shops, and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill.

　　Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The next building only was a few feet away from mine. There was a woman lived there, and I had never met her, yet I could see she sat by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading.

　　After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself. “I wonder why that woman doesn’t wash her window. It really looks terrible.”

　　One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window on the inside.

　　Later in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible (看见). Her window was clean!

　　A story is told about a soldier who was finally coming home after having fought in Vietnam. He called his parents from San Francisco.

　　“Mom and Dad, I’m coming home, but I have a friend I’d like to bring with me.”

　　“Sure,” they replied, “we’d love to meet him.”

　　“There is something you should know,” the son continued, “ he was hurt badly in the fighting. He lost an arm and a leg. He has nowhere else to go, and I want him to live with us.”

　　“I’m sorry to hear that, son. Maybe we can help him find somewhere to live.”

　　“No, Mom and Dad, I want him to live with us.”

　　“Son,” said the father, “you don’t know what you’re asking. Someone like the young man would be a terrible burden for us. We have our own lives to live, and we can’t let something like this stay with our lives. I think you should just come home and forget about this guy. He’ll find a way to live on his own.”

　　At that point, the son hung up the phone. A few days later, however, they received a call from the San Francisco police. Their son had died after falling down from a building. The police believed it was suicide(自杀).

　　The parents flew to San Francisco. To their surprise, they found their son had only one arm and one leg.

　　The parents in this story are like many of us. We find it easy to love those who are good-looking or fun, but we don’t like people who make us feel uncomfortable. We would rather stay away from people who aren’t as healthy, beautiful, or smart as we are.

　　59. Why did the soldier kill himself

　　A.Because he didn’t want to go back home.

　　B.Because his parents no longer wanted to see him again.

　　C.Because the police laughed at him.

　　D.Because he didn’t want to be a burden for his parents.

　　60. What can we learn from the story

　　Have you ever had an embarrassing(尴尬的)experience? Last week we asked readers to tell us about embarrassing experiences. We received thousands of letters! Here is a selection.

　　Tony:

　　My most embarrassing experience happened when I had just left university. I had just started teaching in a Liverpool secondary school. One morning my alarm clock didn‘t ring. I woke up at half past eight and school began at nine. I quickly washed, dressed, jumped into my car and rushed to school. When I arrived, the students had already gone into class. I didn‘t go to the office, but went straight into class. After two or three minutes the students began laughing, and I couldn‘t understand why! Suddenly I looked down and understood. I had put on one black shoe and one brown shoe!

　　Henry:

　　The most embarrassing experience I‘ve ever had, happened two years ago. After seeing a film, my wife and I had lunch in our favourite restaurant in town. Then we decided to take a walk along the street. The street was very busy and we started holding hands. Suddenly my wife saw a dress that she liked in a shop window, and stopped. I started looking at some watches in the next window. After a minute or two I reached for my wife‘s hand. There was a loud scream, and a woman slapped my face. I hadn‘t taken my wife‘s hand. I‘d taken the hand of a complete stranger!

　　James:

　　My wife and I had decided to buy a new house, and I‘d made an appointment to see our bank manager. I‘d never met him before. I went into town in my car and I was lucky enough to find a parking space outside the bank. I‘d just started reversing(倒车) into the space when another car made its way into it. I was irritated! I opened my window and shouted at the man in the car. He ignored me and walked away. It took me twenty minutes to find another place. As soon as I had parked the car, I rushed back to the bank. I was ten minutes late for my appointment. I went to the manager‘s office, knocked and walked in. The manager was sitting behind his desk. He was the man who had taken my parking space!

　　Roosegaarde, an artist and designer from Dutch has thought of a device(装置). He hopes it will make Beijing‘s sky clear again and help the people with masks breathe fresh air again in Beijing.

　　An electromagnetic field(电磁场) will pull the dirty particles in the air to the ground, and then they can be easily cleaned.

　　Roosegaarde says, ’It‘s like when you have a balloon which has static electricity(静电) and your hair goes toward it. Smog happens the same way as the hair.’

　　His workplace has reached an agreement with the Beijing government to test the technology in one of the capital‘s parks. Beijing‘s skies are regularly covered by grey smog. Serious cases of air pollution are often reported in Beijing. Roosegaarde says an indoor test has already shown it works well and he is confident of the results. With the help of a team of scientists and engineers, he is sure that the device can be worked outside.

　　’Beijing is a very good place to test the device because the smog in Beijing is quite low and there‘s not so much wind.’ says Roosegaarde. ’We‘ll be able to make the air pure but the most difficult thing is to remove the smog. As a result, you can see the sun again.’

　　Roosegaarde also reminds us that his aim is not only to give a plan to solve Beijing‘s dirty air pollution but also to make people pay attention to the environment problem. He adds, ’This is not the real answer for smog. The real answer to do with it is clean cars, different industry and different lifestyles. ’ However, he hopes the project will make the citizens realize the differences between clean air and smog-filled air.

　　33. The device works by_______.

　　A helping keep the particles out with more masks

　　B. pulling particles to the ground with an electromagnetic field

　　C. absorbing hair with a balloon with static

　　D. creating clean air and letting it out into the sky

　　34. What does Roosegaarde use his device for?

　　A To make smog. B. To make the air clean

　　C. To make static electricity. D. To make Beijing‘s parks beautiful.

　　35. After reading the passage, we can know_______.

　　A the device doesn‘t work well indoors

　　B. the people with masks can breathe fresher air

　　C. Beijing government agreed to test the device

　　D. clean cars aren‘t helpful to the environment in Beijing

　　36. Roosegaarde hopes people in Beijing can_______.

　　A pay attention to air pollution and solve the problem finally

　　B. invent more devices to clean the smog in Beijing

　　C. drive modern cars and try different lifestyles

　　D. realize how serious the pollution they‘re facing is

　　D

　　According to scientists‘ research, the month in which babies are born could affect them in some ways.

　　Babies born in spring get sick easily. Children born under Aquarius may be less clever than those born in other seasons. They may also have shorter lives than those born in autumn Scientists believe many of the differences can be explained by the mother‘s exposure to sunlight in pregnancy(怀孕). Sunlight helps lead to the production of Vitamin D in the body. The lack of this in the first months of life may have a bad effect on mental and physical health.

　　Vitamin D, called the ’sunshine vitamin’, is known to help regulate(调节) thousands of genes during development, according to a study of more than two million people. So Vitamin D has a good effect on health This study showed that people born from April to June had slightly shorter lives than those born in October, November or December. Similar studies in the USA showed that people born in autumn lived about 160 days longer than those born in spring.

　　Professor Russell Foster, an Oxford University neuroscientist on seasonal biology, said the conclusions were surprising and interesting. He added, ’These are small effects but they are very, very clear. I am not giving voice to star signs and they are just for fun. But it is true that we are affected by our season of birth.’

　　37.A baby‘s season of birth doesn‘t affect its_______.

　　A health B height C length of life D. mind

　　38. According to the passage,_______ can help people get Vitamin D.

　　A. enough sleep B. enough sunlight

　　C fresh air D. suitable seasons

　　39. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

　　A. People born in spring may not be in good health.

　　B. Children born under Aquarius are cleverer than those born under Libra.

　　C. Professor Russell Foster is interested in star signs and believes in them

　　D. People born in May will live longer than those born in October.

　　40. What does the passage mainly tell us?

　　A. People can know the length of life by star sign.

　　B. Women should choose to give birth to children in spring.

　　C A child‘s season of birth has some effect on him or her.

　　D. Vitamin D is very important to people‘s health.

　　When Vivienne Harr was 8 years old, she saw a photo she would never forget. It was a photo of two young boys carrying large, heavy rocks on their backs. These children were the same age as Vivienne. But they did not have the same freedom and opportunities (自由和机会) that she has.

　　In some parts of the world, children have to work hard long days and they can’t go to school. Vivienne wanted to change this. “I want all kids to be able to go to school and play,” said Vivienne, now 10. “I want them to be happy.”

　　To help raise money for children like the two boys in the photo, Vivienne started a lemonade stand (柠檬汽水摊位) near her home in Marin County, California. She promised to work every day for a year, rain or shine. “Sometimes, it was hard for me, when the weather was bad or I wasn’t feeling well,” said Vivienne. “But I knew that some children were having a harder time than I was.”

　　Vivienne’s goal (目标) was to raise $100,000 in 365 days. On Day 175, she reached her goal. But that didn’t stop Vivienne from working. With the help of her family, she started Make a Stand. The company (公司) now puts Vivienne’s lemonade into bottles (瓶子) and sells it in 130 stores around the USA. A small part of sales goes to help achieve Vivienne’s dream — to make the world a better place for all children.

　　Have you ever tried to write a poem (诗歌)? It’s easier than you might think. Just pick up a pen and begin practicing. Here are the steps to write a poem.

　　Choose your topic. (11)__________ Some people can start writing poems without really deciding what to write about; when their pen or pencil hits the paper the words just flow (畅流). Most people, on the other hand, need a topic and as a beginner, this is the best way to start. It’s easier to write a good poem about something you know well or you have experienced.

　　Freewrite for five minutes about your topic. Then go back and read it. Are any words or phrases (短语) especially good? (12)__________ For example, if you are describing something (i.e. a bird), write down descriptive words about it (i.e. looks, colors), and the type of story you would like to tell about (i.e. the bird fell out of a tree). If you are writing about an event in your life, write down your feelings and thoughts (想法) of that event.

　　Write your poem. Remember, a poem doesn’t have to rhyme (押韵). (13)__________ But it should show your feelings of the topic. And it should sound nice to you.

　　Have a friend read your poem aloud to you. (14)__________ If not, go back and rewrite the parts you don’t like.

　　(15)__________ Read it to others. Say it aloud to yourself. Put it somewhere if you want.
