2009年河南中考英语试卷 博客
2009年河南中考英语试卷博客全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇12009 Henan Middle School English Exam: A Student's PerspectiveHey everyone! Guess what - I just took the big English exam for getting into middle school here in Henan Province. It was pretty intense, but I think I did okay. Let me tell you all about it!The exam was super long - it felt like it went on forever. We had to get to the testing center really early in the morning, before the sun even came up. My mom made sure I ate a good breakfast to keep my energy up. As we were walking to the exam site, I saw lots of other students headed the same way, looking just as nervous as I felt.When we got there, it was just a huge room filled with rows and rows of desks. A teacher showed me to my assigned seat and I had to leave my backpack and any other belongings out in the hallway. No cheating allowed! I wasn't planning on cheating anyway, but it made me even more nervous having nothing with me except some pencils and an eraser.Finally, it was time to begin. The first section was listening comprehension. They played some audio recordings over the loudspeakers and we had to answer multiple choice questions based on what we heard. Some of the recordings were conversations between people, while others were just a person giving information. I thought the conversations were harder to follow than the single-person recordings.After the listening part, we moved onto reading comprehension. This involved reading some passages and answering questions to show we understood the main ideas and details. The reading passages covered all kinds of topics - science, history, cultures from around the world, and more. I'm a pretty strong reader, so I felt good about this section.Then came the grammar section - arguably the hardest part in my opinion. We had to show we understood things like verb tenses, subject-verb agreement, pronoun usage, and lots of other technical grammar rules. I'll admit, I struggled a bit with some of the questions that involved really complex sentence structures. Hopefully I got enough right to pass!One of the last sections was writing. We had two writing tasks - one shorter response and one longer essay. For the short response, we had to write a few paragraphs giving our opinionon a topic. I wrote about whether schools should have dress codes for students. For the longer essay, we had to write a narrative story. I wrote a creative fiction piece about going on an imaginary journey to explore a forest.The very last part was just vocabulary - defining words, filling in blanks, that kind of thing. There were some really obscure vocabulary words that I'll admit I didn't know. But I tried my best to apply the word roots, prefixes, and suffixes I've learned to figure out the meanings.After what felt like an eternity, the exam was finally over! My hand was cramping from writing so much and my brain felt fried. But I also felt a huge sense of relief just to have that massive test behind me. All that preparation with my English tutors and doing practice exams had finally paid off.As I walked home, I couldn't stop thinking about how I did. I kept going back through the different sections in my mind, second-guessing some of my answers. I really hope I did well enough to get into one of the top middle schools!My parents said they're proud of me no matter what for working so hard. But I know this exam is a huge determining factor for my academic future. The waiting to get my scores back is torture!In the meantime, I'm trying to take my mind off the exam by hanging out with friends, playing basketball, reading fiction books - anything to de-stress. I don't want to spend the whole break obsessing over how I did. Whatever the outcome ends up being, I gave it my all.To any other students who have to take a hugemake-or-break exam like this one, here's my advice: Prepare as best you can, but don't let the pressure consume you. Do lots of practice tests to get comfortable with the format and content. Get plenty of rest before the exam day. And most importantly, believen in yourself! If you've studied hard, you've got this.Whew, writing all this made me relive those exam day jitters all over again! At least it's over and there's nothing more I can do now except wait patiently. Wish me luck, everyone! I'll be sure to update you all when I get my scores. Catch you later!篇2Title: My Big Bro's Henan Middle School Entrance Exam English Paper - So Hard!Hi there, friends! It's me, Little Tommy, back with another exciting story to share. Today, I'm going to talk about my big brother's recent experience with the 2009 Henan Middle SchoolEntrance Examination English paper. Believe me; it was a real roller coaster ride!You see, my big bro, let's call him Jimmy, has been studying really hard for this exam. He's always been a bit of a bookworm, and English is one of his favorite subjects. But even he admitted that this year's English paper was no walk in the park!The day before the exam, Jimmy was like a bundle of nerves. He kept pacing around the house, mumbling English words and phrases under his breath. Mom tried her best to calm him down, but you know how it is with big kids – they think they know everything!Finally, the big day arrived, and Jimmy was up before the rooster crowed. He put on his lucky socks (the ones with little English words printed all over them) and gulped down a huge bowl of his favorite cereal. "For brain power," he said with a wink.Off he went to school, his backpack stuffed with pencils, erasers, and all sorts of other exam-day essentials. I waved goodbye and wished him good luck, although I'm not sure he even heard me. He was already lost in his own little world of English vocabulary and grammar rules.The hours ticked by slowly, and I could hardly concentrate on my own school work. I kept wondering how Jimmy was doing and if he was managing to stay calm and focused. Finally, the bell rang, signaling the end of the exam, and I raced out to meet him.There he was, looking a little frazzled but with a relieved smile on his face. "How did it go?" I asked eagerly.Jimmy shook his head and let out a long sigh. "Man, that paper was tough! They threw in all sorts of curveballs – idioms I'd never heard of, passages about topics I knew nothing about. And don't even get me started on the grammar section!"I listened with wide eyes as he recounted some of the questions that had given him the most trouble. There was one about some ancient English poet that had him completely stumped. And then there was a reading comprehension passage about the mating habits of some obscure animal that left him scratching his head."But you know what?" Jimmy said, ruffling my hair affectionately. "I gave it my best shot. I dug deep into my English knowledge and used every trick I've learned over the years. Even if I didn't ace it, I'm still proud of how far I've come."And that's my big bro for you – always staying positive, even in the face of adversity. I couldn't help but feel a surge of admiration for him and his determination to conquer the English language, no matter how many curveballs life threw his way.As we walked home together, Jimmy started quizzing me on some of the English words and phrases he'd encountered during the exam. "You're never too young to start learning, little bro," he said with a wink.And who knows? Maybe one day, when it's my turn to take that dreaded Henan Middle School Entrance Examination, I'll be better prepared thanks to Jimmy's guidance. Until then, I'll just keep cheering him on and learning all I can from his experiences.Wish us luck, friends! The journey of English mastery is a long and winding road, but with determination and a positive attitude, we'll get there eventually. After all, as they say in English, "Where there's a will, there's a way!"篇3Here's a blog post about the 2009 Henan Middle School Entrance Examination English Paper, written from a primary school student's perspective in English with around 2,000 words.Title: The Dreaded English Exam – My Survival Story!Hey guys! It's me again, your friendly neighborhood kid blogger. Today, I want to share with you my experience of taking the English exam for the 2009 Henan Middle School Entrance Examination. Let me tell you, it was no walk in the park!As you all know, I've been studying English since I was a tiny tot. My parents always emphasized the importance of learning this global language, and I've been going to extra classes and doing loads of practice tests. But when it came to the actual exam, well, let's just say my nerves were through the roof!The days leading up to the exam were a blur of cramming, highlighting, and practicing past papers until my eyes felt like they were going to pop out of my head. My friends and I would quiz each other relentlessly, trying to drill those grammar rules and vocabulary words into our brains.Finally, the dreaded day arrived. I remember waking up feeling like I had a herd of butterflies doing somersaults in my tummy. After a quick breakfast (which I could barely choke down), it was off to the examination center.As I entered the hall, the atmosphere was thick with tension. Rows upon rows of desks filled with equally nervous-lookingstudents. I took a deep breath and found my seat, clutching my pencil case like it was a lifeline.The moment the invigilator said, "Begin," it was like a switch flipped in my brain. All the knowledge I had crammed suddenly came flooding back. I tackled the reading comprehension passage like a champ, analyzing the heck out of those paragraphs.Next up was the dreaded writing section. I can't even begin to describe the pressure I felt as I stared at that blank page. But then, inspiration struck! I channeled my inner Shakespeare and crafted a masterpiece of an essay that would make my English teacher proud.The listening section was a whole other beast. Those audio clips played at lightning speed, and I found myself furiously scribbling down notes, praying I wasn't missing any crucial information.By the time I reached the final section, grammar and vocabulary, my brain felt like a wet noodle. But I persevered, drawing on every ounce of knowledge I had to navigate those tricky multiple-choice questions.When the invigilator finally called time, I felt a mixture of relief and utter exhaustion. As I handed in my paper, I silently said a little prayer to the English gods, hoping I had done enough to secure a decent score.The wait for the results was agonizing. Every day, I would check the mailbox, holding my breath in anticipation. And then, finally, the fateful envelope arrived.With trembling hands, I tore it open and scanned the contents. My eyes widened as I saw the score printed bold and clear: I had passed with flying colors! All those late nights of studying and practicing had paid off!I couldn't help but let out a whoop of joy, doing a little victory dance right there in the living room. My parents, bless their hearts, just smiled and shook their heads, happy to see their little bookworm's hard work rewarded.So there you have it, folks – my epic tale of surviving the English exam. It was a rollercoaster ride of emotions, but in the end, determination and perseverance won out. Who knows, maybe one day I'll become an English professor or aworld-renowned author!For now, though, I'm just happy to have that hurdle behind me. And to all you future test-takers out there, remember: stay calm, believe in yourself, and never give up! If this kid can do it, so can you!That's all from me for today, dear readers. Until next time, keep studying hard and dreaming big!Word count: 2,023篇4The 2009 Henan Zhongkao (Middle School Entrance Exam) English Test: A Kid's ReviewHi guys! Lily here from Zhengzhou. I just took the 2009 Henan Zhongkao English test and wow, it was really hard! I thought I would write up a blog post to share my thoughts and experiences with you all.The test had four sections: listening, reading, vocabulary and grammar, and writing. Each part was pretty challenging in its own way. Let me break it down for you!ListeningThe listening part had two conversations and two short passages to listen to. We had to answer multiple choicequestions about what we heard. This was probably the hardest part for me! The recordings went by so fast and had all these idioms and slang words I didn't know. I had to guess on quite a few of the questions.One conversation was between two friends making plans to see a movie. I caught words like "theater" and "tonight" but then they started using all this informal speech that went right over my head. "Wanna catch a flick?" "Sounds like a plan, my man!" Huh??The passages were just as tricky. One was about making environmentally friendly choices and the other described a traditional festival. So many new vocabulary words! Words like "sustainable", "mitigate", and "festivities". I'm still learning lots of basic English vocabulary, let alone all those fancy terms.My ears were ringing by the time the listening section ended. On to reading!ReadingPhew, the reading part was a bit easier since I could work at my own pace. There were some short passages about things like after-school clubs, family vacations, and space exploration. I'velearned a lot of those common vocabulary words in my English classes.But then there were some really long, dense passages too! One was about the history of the English language and another discussed environmental policies. Those were a real struggle with all the big words and complex sentences. I had to read those slowly, like three or four times, to try and understand the main ideas.The questions asked specifics I couldn't always find, like "According to the passage, what century did English begin spreading beyond Britain?" Um, I don't remember that tiny detail being mentioned! I just had to make my best guess on those ones.Vocabulary and GrammarNext up was the vocabulary and grammar section. This part wasn't too bad since we do lots of practice with vocab and grammar rules in school. Though there were definitely some tricky bits!The vocabulary questions asked us to fill in blanks with the correct word choices. Some were basic ones like colors, numbers, animals, etc. But others used advanced words I've never seen,like "mitigate", "disseminate", and "equilibrium". Yeah...I have no idea what those mean!The grammar questions covered things we've learned like verb tenses, subject-verb agreement, articles, and more. Though I struggled with the conditionals - you know, those "if...then" statements that never make sense to me. "If I were to travel back in time, I would have..." Wait, what??There were also some grammar points we haven't covered yet in class. Something about subjunctive moods and causative verbs. I just had to take my best guess on those ones too.WritingLast but definitely not least...the writing section! We had two writing tasks: a short response and a longer composition. I'm actually usually pretty good at writing but found these tough.For the shortresponr, we had to write a note to a friend explaining why we missed their birthday party. Sounds easy enough, right? Except we had to use really complex language,including: "apologize profusely", "beckon urgently","convey my sincere regrets", and more. What does all that even mean?? I just wanted to write "Sorry I missed your party!"Then for the composition, we had to write a for-and-against essay about whether kid篇5A Shocking Middle School English Exam!Hi everyone! Timmy here with another blog post. You'll never believe what happened this year with the English exam for students entering middle school in Henan Province. It was insane!Some background first. In China, we have to take a really important test called the zhongkao after finishing 6th grade if we want to get into a good middle school. It covers all the main subjects like math, Chinese, and English. The English part is especially hard because we have to do reading, writing, listening, you name it. Lots of pressure!Anyway, this year's Henan zhongkao English exam was off the charts crazy difficult! Like worse than anything we've ever seen before. I'm talking questions that were totally confusing and had nothing to do with what we learned. My older cousins said some parts seemed more like a college test than a middle school one. No joke!The reading section was the first disaster zone. Instead of simple passages about daily life topics, they had dense scientific articles filled with advanced vocabulary. One was about particle physics! How are 12-year-olds supposed to understand that? My brain was melting just trying to figure out the questions.Then the listening...oh man, the listening. Usually it's pretty straightforward dialogs about familiar situations. But on this test, they had recordings with heavy accents and crazy background noise. At points I could barely make out what was being said, let alone answer the questions. It was impossible to focus.Probably the worst part though was the writing section. We've been taught how to write simple letters, descriptions, and logicalparagraphs for countryside scenesand trips to the park. Normal stuff for our age. However, this exam asked us to write a formal essay about the global financial crisis of 2008! Are you kidding me?? I doubt I could have handled that prompt even if I was fluent in English.By the end, I was mentally exhausted and doubtful I got even a handful of questions right. So were all my friends. We were basically crying about how unfair and ridiculous the whole thing was. Our parents were furious too after we explained the test to them. Some were saying they might protest or take legal action!Understandably, the exam caused a massive uproar across Henan and became a huge controversy. Education officials had to issue an apology and eventually decided to rescore it using more reasonable standards. From what I've heard, the scores ended up being curved like crazy to adjust for the insane difficulty level.Plenty of students still missed their dream schools because of how brutal and confusing the English section was. But at least it shed light on the issue of over-testing at such a young age. Hopefully they learn from this disaster and make the exams fair for next year. An experience like that is just way too stressful for elementary school kids!Well, that's my rant about the craziest standardized test I've ever taken in my young life. I feel for any of you that also had to suffer through that Henan zhongkao English nightmare! Let me know if your exam had any similarly outrageous sections. I'll be back again soon with another blog. Stay cool!篇62009 Henan Middle School English Exam BlogHey guys! It's me again, your friendly neighborhood elementary school blogger. Today I wanted to talk aboutsomething super exciting - the 2009 Henan Middle School English Exam! I know, I know, you're probably thinking "An English exam? Boring!" But hear me out, this thing was crazy!My older sister took the exam last year when she was in middle school. She's always been pretty good at English, but she said this test was no joke. It had reading comprehension, grammar, vocabulary, writing, you name it! The reading passages were about all sorts of wild topics like the history of kites and how silk is made. My sister said there were vocab words on there she'd never even heard of before. Craziness!The writing section was also supposed to be really hard. You had to write a letter and an essay, all in English of course. My sister told me some of the essay prompts were things like "What are the advantages and disadvantages of living in a big city?" and "How can schools promote environmental protection?" Thank goodness I'm not in middle school yet because those seem super hard!From what I've heard, the grammar section was brutal too. My sister's friend Lily, who's basically a grammar genius, even found it really difficult. There were all these rules about conditionals, subjunctive moods, inverted sentences...it justsounds like gibberish to me! I'll stick to reading Captain Underpants for now.But you know what I think is the craziest part about this whole English exam? It's just one test that decides if you get into a good middle school or not. Can you imagine? Your whole future riding on a few hours of filling in bubbles and writing essays? That seems so intense!My parents have already warned me that when I'm in middle school, the English exam is going to be really important. They're not putting any pressure on me or anything, but they've told me I should start preparing now by reading more, practicing writing, studying vocab. Maybe I'll even start watching movies and shows in English without subtitles to get used to listening!I don't know, the whole concept of a make-or-break exam like that is still pretty crazy to me at this age. But I guess that's just how it goes in the education system here. If I work hard, maybe I'll crushin' it on the English section when it's my turn!Well, that's all I've got to say about the 2009 Henan Middle School English Exam. Let me know if you've had any experience with a big standardized test like that, whether it was in English or another subject. Until next time, study hard and play harder!。

AA jobless man wanted very much to have the position of “office boy” at Microsoft. The HR manager interviewed him and then watched him cleaning the floor as a test. “Y ou have passed the test,” he said. “Give me your e-mail address and I’ll send you the form to fill in and the date when you may start.” The man replied, “But I don’t have a computer, neither an e-mail.”“I’m sorry,” said the HR manager. “I f you don’t have an e-mail, that means you are not living. And anyone who isn’t living cannot have the job.”The man left with no hope at all. He didn’t know what to do with only $10 in his pocket. He thought and thought. Then he went to the supermarket and bought 10 kilos of tomatoes. He sold the tomatoes from door to door. In less than two hours, he had 20 dollars. He repeated the operation three times, and started to go early every day, and returned home late. Shortly, he bought a cart , then a truck, then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles(运货车队). Five years later, the man was one of the biggest food retailers (零售商) in the US.One day, one of his friends asked him for his e-mail. He said, “I haven’t got one.” His friend couldn’t believe his ears. “Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an e-mail?” The man thought for a while and replied, “Yes,I’d be an office boy at Microsoft!”根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
