"Some pigs were born last night.""I don’t know why he needs an axe," continued Joan. She was only eight."Well," said her mother, "one of the pigs is very small, thin and weak, and it will never grow up. So your father has to do away with it.""Do away with it?" cried Joan. "Just because it’s smaller than the others?""Don’t cry, Joan!" Mrs Arable said. "The pig w ould probably die anyway." Joan pushed a chair out of the way and ran outdoors."Please don’t do it!" she said with eyes full of tears(眼泪). "It’s not its mistake to be so weak." "Joan," Mr. Arable said gently, "you will have to learn to control yourself." "This is a matter of life and death, and you talk about controlling myself." cried Joan. Tears ran down her face and she took hold of the axe and tried to pull it out of her father’s hand."Joan," said Mr. Arable, "I know more about raising pigs than you do. A thin and weak pig makes trouble.""But it’s not right," cried Joan. "If I had been very weak at birth, would you have killed me?" Mr. Arable smiled.

But have you ever thought about what they mean to your eyes?According to a study, half of the British people own smart phones and they spend an average (平均)of two hours a day using them. There has been a 35% increase in the number of people in the UK who suffer from shortsightedness(近视)since smart phones were introduced there in 1997.Staring at(盯着看)smart phones for a long time gives you dry eyes. When looking at something in the distance, your eyes automatically blink (自动眨眼)a certain number of times. However, when you look at things closer to your face, the blinking slows down. This reduces the amount of tears and causes discomfort(不适)in your eyes. Another bad habit is using smart phones in dark rooms before going to sleep. If you look at a bright screen while your pupils(瞳孔)become larger, too much light enters your eyes. This can do harm to the eyes and cause a disease called glaucoma(青光眼).If you have to use your smart phone to learn online, there are a few things you can do to protect your eyes. Hold your phone at least 30 centimetres away from your eyes when using it. Take a rest every hour and try the following: look at something at least five metres away from you and then focus on(专注于)the tip(尖端)of your nose. Repeat this several times. It should reduce the discomfort in your eyes.41. What makes the students’ online learning become possible and easy?A. TV sets.B. Cameras.C. Smart phones.D. Robots.42. From Paragraph 2, we learn that ____________.A. half of the British people began to use smart phones 23 years agoB. each of the British people spends two hours a day on smart phonesC. more British people have suffered from shortsightedness since 1997D. the number of British people who own smart phones increases by 35%43. The bad habits of using smart phones may cause ____________.A. too many blinksB. more tears in the eyesC.smaller pupilsD. dry eyes and glaucoma 44. The writer suggests _____________. A. not using the phone for over an hour without a rest B. holding the phone at least half a metre away from the eyes C. turning off your phone for a few hours every day D. looking at something green and then focus on the tip of your hands 45. The passage is mainly about ________________. A. the rules to obey when using smart phones B. the harm that smart phones do to users’ eyes C. the reason why students get shortsightedness D. advantages and disadvantages of smart phones 第II卷V.词汇运用(A)根据句子意思,从方框中选用恰当的词或短语填空.46. —There are two ___________ bread on the table.

However, this year, they had no reason to be sad. After five years of living with their uncle in a village in Chongqing, the children have their parents back by their sides. There are more than 60 million "left-behind"(留守)children in the countryside when their parents moved away to work in the cities. Tao Xing and Tao Jun’s mother Yu Changmei and their father Tao Yonghong could only return home twice a year from their jobs in Guizhou Province.Now more and more such kind of families becomes reunited(重聚的)ones. The Tao family is just one of them. In 2015, China’s migrant(移民)population fell for the first time in about 30 years as people pay more attention to the problems faced by left-behind children. Migrants are encouraged to return hometown. They are needed to work for the development of the countryside and provide support for lonely children. "Their parents’ company(陪伴)is the best gift children can receive. It’s difficult for children to grow into adults. They require parents’ care and help," said Guan Xinping, a professor of social policy(政策)at Nankai University.根据上面短文内容,回答下列问题(每小题答案不超过6个单词).66.

What does the sentence "Their parents company is the best gift children can receive." mean?__________________________________________________BFighting an enemy that we cannot see is terrible. The novel coronavirus(新型冠状病毒)is one of these invisible(看不见的)enemies and it brings us a great disasters. It has infected(感染)435,519 people in China and other places in the world as of(截至)March 25. It was reported that it killed 3,281 people in China.But even if we cannot see the virus, we know how it behaves and spreads around. It is just like most other viruses. To prevent any respiratory(呼吸系统)illness, what we can do is to have good personal hygiene(卫生). And that includes wearing a mask and washing hands. By wearing a mask, we keep ourselves away from the droplets (飞沫)that infected people coughed and (打喷嚏). These droplets can spread the virus — as far as two meters! But these droplets don’t stay in the ai r for long. They quickly fall and land on surfaces, like tables or clothes. They can also be passed on to elevator buttons(电梯按钮)and door knobs(把手)by our hands. The novel coronavirus can stay alive for quite a long time on smooth surfaces, so washing hands becomes important.A new discovery about the virus makes it even more necessary to keep these hygienic habits even if we don’t think we’ve interacted(接触)with anyone infected. According to People’s Daily , there is evidence that the virus might be contagious(有传染性的)even before patients start showing symptoms(症状). And these people don’t even know that they’re ill yet."However, this epidemic(传染病)brings us a positive(积极的)change. It’s that we’ve developed better hygienic habits. After all, washing our hands is really what we should do every day.根据上面短文内容填空.71. The novel coronavirus is the enemy that we ___________ and it brings us a great disaster.

2019学年第二学期九年级学科能力检查英语问卷第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题,每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

AOn 18th October 2009, Australian schoolgirl Jessica Watson set off from Sydney Harbor on an unusual journey. At just sixteen years old, she was trying to become one of the youngest people ever to sail(航行) around the world all by herself. Her journey on the yacht(帆船)took 210 days and she completed it without making any stops or receiving any help.Jessica's journey covered nearly 23, 000 nautical miles(海里). It wasn't always smooth--passing the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian oceans, she had to deal strong wind, heavy rain and big waves, as well as loneliness and boredom. Sometimes her yacht got damaged and she had to make the repairs herself.When Jessica sailed back into Sydney Harbor, she was greeted by her family and a crowd of about 75,000 people. Even the Prime Minister of Australia was there to welcome and congratulate her.Jessica's achievement has won her the admiration of many. However, when questioned by reporters, she said, "I don't consider myself a hero. I'm an ordinary girl who believed in a dream."16. What can we learn about Jessica from Paragraph 1?A. She was a 16-year-old American schoolgirl.B. She travelled around the world alone.C. She accepted lots of help from other people.D. She spent one year on her unusual trip.17.

People worry that children in the future can only see whales in pictures. They believe all kinds of whale hunting (捕猎)should be stopped before it is too late.Some people are trying to stop whale hunting all over the world. But they fail to notice one fact. Whale hunting was going on for a long time before the number of whales went down and became a problem.Whale hunting started as early as1,500 years ago. This was how tribes people(部落成员) fed the families. They hunted whales for meat because almost nothing could grow on their land. They also made whale fat into oil and used it to make candles or oil lamps. Over the years, whale hunting became their way of living, and even part of who they are.Tribe whale hunting is not the thing we should worry about. Of all the whales that were killed over the past forty years, only 10% were hunted by tribes people. The other 90% died at the hands of the money-making hunting business. When we try to stop all kinds of whale hunting, we should think what we are asking tribes people to give up and whether this is the best answer to the problem of whale hunting.23. What is the main idea of Paragraph I?A. The problem of whale hunting.B. The reason of whale hunting.C. The process of whale hunting.D. The rule of whale hunting.24. What does the underlined word"fact"refer to in Paragraph 2?A. About 340, 000 whales died from 1946 to 1986 because of whale hunting.B. Some people worry that whales will die out and try to stop whale hunting.C. Whale hunting started early before the number of whales dropped rapidly.D. Whale hunting was always seen in newspapers before people noticed that.25. Why did tribes people hunt whales according to the passage?A. Because they believed whales could bring good luck.B. Because they wanted to sell whale oil to make money.C. Because whales often made tribes people seriously hurt.D Because there was almost nothing to eat on the land.26. Which idea may the writer probably agree with?A.We should stop all kinds of whale hunting right away.B. There is no need to worry about the number of whales.C. Tribes people's way of living is as important as animal lives.D. The whaling business can make tribes people' s lives better.【参考答案】ACDCDMore and more people are using crowdfundingto pay for their projects and create new products.Usually, the way to do this is to use the Internet.Instead of trying to get a few people to give thousandsof dollars,you get hundreds of people, maybethousands,to give a few dollars. But this is still noteasy.You want people to see the value of youridea.How will you get them to give the dollars theyearn to you?There are websites that make his possible. Kickerstarter and GoGet Funding are popular.What you have to do is to create a short video to explain your project. Many people begin by explaining what the product is and then telling why people need it. For example, one of the most popular crowdfunded products is a watch. The Pebble watch connects with information on a smart phone that will send information to the watch.More than 65,000 people gave money for this product. And finally, Crowdfunding raised $10.3 million for it. However, it,'s not just productsthat people use crowdfunding for. People use it for their music, film, art or writing projects.Projects usually get from 25 to 40 percent of their money from crowdfunding sites. Who is giving money? When people need money, they often ask their friends and family. Crowdfunding often works the same way, but once you create your video and message, your friends share it with their friends. Why do these people give? First, there is the"feel good"factor. Giving money makes people feel good. Second, many small businesses offer rewards to people. Third, sometimes the reward is simply getting to use the product. And this is part of the success of crowdfunding. You could make a difference.27. What does the underlined word"crowdfunding"in Paragraph I probably mean?A. A suggestion on how to show the value of your idea on the Internet.B. A test on how to use the Intermet to create new products more quickly.C. A survey on how to wisely spend thousands of dollars given by people.D. A way on how to raise money from lots of people for a certain project.28. What might be the secret of The Pebble Watch's success according to Paragraph 2?A. They sold the product at a low price.B. They made the product carefully by hand.C. They introduced the product clearly.D. They tested the product again and again.29. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A. Who will ask for money and how to get it.B. Who will give money and why they give.C. When and why the sites can get money.D. Why and how people create projects.30. Which project is the most successful according to the chartA Music B. Film and Video C. Art D.

As they went along, they saw a pair of old shoes lyingin the path. They thought it belonged to a poor man who worked in a field nearby.The student turned to the professor, saying, “Let us play the man a trick: we will take away his shoes, and conceal ourselves behind those trees, and wait to see what will happen when he cannot find them. That must be very interesting.”“My young friend,” answered the professor, “we should never play jokes on others because of their being poor. Put a coin into each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and watch how the discovery changes him.”The student did so, and they both hid themselves behind the bushes close by. The poor man soon finished his work, and came back. While putting on his coat, he put his foot into one of his shoes. Feeling something hard, he bent down to see what it was and found the coin. He then looked around him on all sides, but no person was to be seen. He put the money into his pocket. When he put on the other shoe, his surprise doubled on finding the other coin. He fell upon his knees, looked up to the sky and said aloud some thanksgiving words to the person who gave him the coins.The student stood there deeply moved, and his eyes were filled with tears. “You have taught me a lesson which I will never forget. I feel now the truth of these words, which I never understand before: “A small act of kindness brings great joy.” he said.21. The underlined word “conceal” in Paragraph 1 is closes in meaning to ______.A. enjoyB. loseC. showD. hide22. The student wanted to play the poor man a trick to ______.A. find the truthB. please himselfC. teach him a lessonD. show his wisdom23. How did the poor man feel when he found the first coin?A. Happy.B. Surprised.C. Upset.D. Terrible.24. What did the poor man do when he found the second coin in his shoe?A. He put it in his pocket without saying a word.B. He looked around him and hid it in the bushes.C. He thanked the person who gave him the coins.D. He picked up the coin and ran away quickly.25. The passage tells us the truth that _____.A. seeing is not always believingB. giving is more pleasant than receivingC. God helps those who help themselvesD. playing tricks on others is playing tricks on yourselfCHave you ever heard of the expression “birdbrain”? People use it to talk about someone who is stupid, but crows prove that this is unfair. Now it has been discovered that crows may understand analogies(类推法).It was once thought that only humans could understand analogies, which help us to solve problems creatively and make scientific discoveries.To test this ability in animals, scientists do RMTS tests. If a pair was AA, for example, then picking BB to match it would be correct.Monkeys have learned RMTS, but scientists wanted to know if crows could do it, too. An international team led by Edward Wasserman in the US first trained two crows to match things by color, shape, and number in what is called IMTS, then moved onto RMTS.For the IMTS test, the birds were put in a cage with a plate that had three cards and two cups in it. The card in the middle was the sample card. The cups on either side were covered with the other two cards: Onewas the same as the sample(in the color, shape, or number of shapes pictured), while the other wasn’t.
