After the outbreak (爆发) of COVID-19, she suddenly lost her job.Seeing that there were many others like herself in trouble from the outbreak, Akinpe and her two roommates, Michele Gomez and Maureen Lee, brainstormed ideas for how to help their local community. They came up with a street pantry（储藏柜）. Gomez said the idea was very simple, “Take what you need and leave what you can.”With the help of Gomez’s father, they built the Blessing Box – a street pantry, with shelves and hanging baskets and two doors made from old furniture.It sits just at the back of the three girls’ home, so they can look after it. They put some information notices into their neighbors’ mailboxes, and the Blessing Box was quickly filled with the donations (捐赠)from the community, “It is the community’s str ong support that keeps the project alive,” Akinpe said.We now have hundreds of people visiting our box every day. It might only a hours for the box to be full and next hour it might become empty again. “We are now helping others to carry outsimilar proj ects in their own communities, too”, Gomez said.Lee said things in the box were mostly convenience foods, as well as some necessary life things such as spaghetti and toilet paper. “Few people take everything at once. They think there are other people who need them more.” Lee added.There were many people rushing there for donations. The three girls needed to sanitize (消毒）all the donations and make sure all food packages were not broken. Gomez said that they had no time for rest, but what they did was well worth.28.

These electronic devices help us m many ways, but they may also cause health problems.Too much screen time can cause eyestrain which leaves your eyes feeling dry and sore and could also affect your eyesight. To help your eyes stay healthy, follow the “20-20-20” rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.Your eyes aren't the only parts of your body that could become worse from using electronic devices. People who write a lot of text messages can develop an injury called texting thumb". Therepeated movement of typing with thumbs can cause thumb and wrist pain and lead to the loss of grip strength （握力受损）.To avoid this, do this exercise: put a rubber band around the tips of your five fingers and open your hand to stretch the rubber band. Repeat this a few times.Scientific research suggests that electronic devices can also hurt your mind. One of the biggest problems is that using these devices can affect your sleep patterns. Doctors say the screen light stop you from feeling sleepy. So they advise people not to use electronic devices for at least one hour before trying to sleep.Another serious danger is Internet addiction （瘾）. Many people turn to the Internet to ease feelings of stress, sadness, and loneliness. Over time, they might start to depend on the Internet and feel worried if they're not connected To stop yourself from falling into this kind of trap, limit the amount of time you spend on line.To use your smartphone or computer safely, just make sure you follow these health tips. Also, remember that there is more to life than looking at an electronic screen.31. The first 20 of the "20-20-20"rule in the passage suggests________________.A. how long the break lastsB. how often you have the breakC. how far you look at objects from youD. how long you need to take a break32. Which picture best shows the rubber and exercise according to the passage?33. The underlined word "they" in Paragraph 5 refers to _________________.A. computer games or InternetB. feelings of stress, sadness and lonelinessC. several serious mind problemsD. people who have Internet addiction34. What's the passage mainly about?A. Electronic devices can hurt both your body and mind.B. Looking at screen for too long can cause sore eyes.C. Typing a lot can develop "texting thumb".D. The more you depend on the Internet, the less worried you might be.DThe woman was very frightened. What could she do? She dialed 999. The emergency calloperator Robert Naylor answered the call immediately."Please help me! It's in my bathroom! It's moving!" the woman cried. "What is it that's moving?" Robert answered calmly."A spider!" the woman shouted back at him.Robert believes that a significant number of the calls are not emergencies. The actual number across the country is close to 75%.Firstly, there are "silent calls". The emergency number is dialed, but when an operator answers, no one speaks. Often it's a small child or even a pet who has been playing with her phone and has accidentally rung the emergency number.Then there are "joke calls", often from teenagers. An operator answers the phone and the caller immediately hangs up. Robert believes these are declining, as there are far fewer public payphones these days. "People are less interested to make a call when they are doing it from their own mobile phone and they know we have their number!"The police always follow up both types of calls. It's a huge waste of money, the average (平均的) cost of responding to a silent or joke call is around ￡250.The great numbers of the none-emergency calls are like those from the woman above. A situation like this isn't an emergency. But this example is far from the worst. What do you think of the following?● A teenager girl in America called the police because her parents had decorated her room and she didn't like the color.● A mother in Italy rang the emergency services when her 16-year-old son refused to get out of the bed.● A Bra zilian teenage boy rang and asked the police to remove a video of him from YouTube. In the video, the boy was falling off his bike.There are many other examples, and most of these are from adults. These calls waste more than time and money. "If someone makes a joke call and the police manage to find them, then they can expect a fine of up to ￡5,000, and even a prison sentence (监禁)," warns Robert. "But for peoplewhose emergency aren't really serious, we simply try to deal with their calls as quickly as possible," he continues. "The person often quickly realizes their situation isn't really an emergency and ends up apologizing (道歉) for calling us. But if someone refuses to listen, then we have to hang up. Someone with a real emergency is probably waiting to speak to us."35. What does the underlined word "declining" probably mean?A. Getting serious.B. Turning worse.C. Getting useless.D. Becoming less.36. Why are there so many none-emergency calls?A. Operators give excellent service.B. Callers do not take any responsibilities.C. Dealing with none-emergency costs little.D. Many don't consider it an improper behavior.37. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?A. Emergency services.B. Is it an emergency?C. Different kinds of emergency calls.D. Who is to be responsible?答案：ADB CDB BBDA DDB江苏省江阴市青阳片2020-2021学年九年级下学期期中考试英语试题三、阅读理解（本大题共13 小题，每小题 2 分，共26 分）AIt's believed that people reach their mental peak (顶峰) in their 20s. However, this isn’t completely true. According to a recent study by scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the US, people are best at doing different things at different ages. They studied many people aged 10 to 90 years old, who were asked to take part in different memory tests.25. At what age can people reach the peak of their attention?A. 2.B. 18.C. 43.D. 50.26. Which fact does the passage provide?A. The younger people are, the better memory they have.B. The study is based on some research on people of all ages.C. People in their 40s can understand others’ feelings best.D. Different people are good at different things at the same age.27. This passage is probably a(n)_____________________.A. novelB. report.C. advertisement.D. notice. BNEW DICOVERIES are popular among our students and let’s take a close look at what they are. 28._____________. To young children, a year might seem to last forever. But older people might say that it flies by. Why is that? According to US scientists, young people’s brains process information at a faster speed than older people. They take in more information and do more things in a day. Therefore, they feel like each day lasts longer. However, older people’s brains degrade (退化) as they age. They take in less information and thus see a day pass more quickly.A robot A sks for hugsLovot is a special robot from Japan. It cangive people comfort and warmth. It looks likea mix of a penguin ( 企鹅), an owl, and ateddy bear. Lovot has a camera on its head. Itcan remember about 1,000 faces. Wheelsunder Lovot’s body help the robot movearound. The fun thing about Lovot isreal-human. It can ask for a hug by openingits arms and waving to you, just like a baby.T A king 10,000 steps A d A yYou may have heard that walking 10,000 steps a day is good for your health. But is that true? In fact, there is no official recommendation to walk this much, US scientists said. It was an idea from an advertisement for Japanese pedometers (计步器) in the 1960s. Scientists suggest that people can have 150 minutes of moderate activity a week, such as quick walking. As a result walking about 7,000 to 8,000 steps a day is a good choice.28. Which may be suitable for 28 ?A. Time makes old people less wiseB. People of different ages see time differentlyC. Time has something to do with people’s ageD. Time flies faster to the young compared to the old29. Based on the paper, which of these is a fact?A. Lovot is good at remembering people’s faces .B. Each day lasts longer to the old people.C. Walking 10,000 steps a day is good for healthD. Robots are completely the same as the humans.30. According to the reading, which fits best in the “Cause” box below?A. Walking 10,000 steps a day may hurt your bones.B. Quick walking is the best form of exercise.C. Advertisements say the more exercise the better.D. Scientists think 150 minutes of moderate activity a week good for health.COne day, Bassanio came to visit Antonio. This was not unusual because they were good friends. But the visit was more important than usual for Bassanio. He already owed Antonio a lot of money, but now he wanted to borrow some more.“I have been spending more money than I earn,” began Bassanio. “I already owe you a lo t of Cause__________Effec t (结果) Walking about 7,000 to 8,000 steps a day is a good choicemoney. I will tell you how I am going to get enough money to pay back all the money I owe.”“Yes, tell me,” said Antonio. “If I can help you, I will.”“When I was a boy at school,” began Bassanio, “I sometimes lost a ball when I was playing. When that happened, I would throw another ball in exactly the same way and watch it carefully. I would often find the two balls together. You might think of your money that way. The money you gave me is the first ball. It is lost, and I Know it’s my fault. But if you gave me some more money, it could be like that second ball and help you get all the money back. I will give back the money you give me now as well as the money that I have already lost.”Antonio invited him to continue.Bassanio told him about a rich young lady in Belmont. Her name was Portia. Her father died and left her a lot of money. She was beautiful as well as rich, and she was not married. Many men came from all over the world to court her, but nobody had succeeded. Bassanio had met Portia before, and he knew that she liked him. He told Antonio that if he had enough money he would soon make her his wife.“She is rich and young and beautiful. Her hair is like gold, and her face is always sunny and happy. She is always smiling. Antonio! She is beautiful. She likes me. I am certain she would marry me, marry me!” he explained.Antonio laughed. “You are my friend, Bassanio,” he comforted. “and I will help you. You know that all my ships are at sea just now, so I do not have much money to give you. However, you can go into town and try to borrow the money. Tell the moneylenders that Antonio will guarantee the money is paid back to them. Don't worry!”31. How would Bassanio pay back Antonio’s money?A. He would use Antonio's money as “the first ball”.B. H e would use Antonio's money as “the second ball”.C. He would return the money with the help of relatives.D. He would borrow some money from the moneylenders.32. What does the underlined word “ guarantee” mean in the last paragraph?A. make sureB. worry aboutC. carry outD. work out33. What can you infer (推断) from the passage?A. Portia would refuse to meet Bassanio.B. Antonio didn't lend the money to Bassanio.C. Bassanio would go to Belmont and court Portia.D. Bassanio would pay all the money back to Antonio.DLearning to control our greatest fearsAlmost everyone is afraid of something, whether that’s snakes, heights, or public speaking.Fearing something is natural and common, and can even be helpful to frighten ourselves sometimes. In fact, fear can keep our bodies alert (警觉的) so we can act quickly to protect ourselves in the event of danger.But for some people, fear develops into a “phobia”, which is a strong and unreasonable fear of something. For example, most of us feel a little scared when looking down from a tall building . But people with terrible acrophobia — a fear of heights — may not only feel dizzy (头晕的) when faced with a great height, they may also even turn down a great job just because the company’s office is on a high floor of a building.Indeed, phobias can prevent some of us from living a normal life. According to Katherina Hauner, a researcher at Northwestern University in the US, people who are terribly scared of spiders might stay away from their home for days if they knew a spider was there.However, since it’s thought that fear comes from personal experiences or memories, some scientists believe it’s possible to “rewrite” these unpleasant memories, helping people get through their phobias.In a study by Hauner and other scientists, people with arachnophobia — a fear of spiders —were asked to first touch a spider with a paintbrush. Once they saw it wasn’t really dangerous, they then tried touching it while wearing a glove. Finally, they were able to hold it with their hands directly.Certain medicine has also been found to be helpful. Back in 2015, researchers at the University of Hiroshima in Japan injected (注射) a special medicine into a fish —which was afraid of light — to turn off the fear centre in its brain. From then on, the fish no longer feared light.While the search for ways to deal with phobias is making great progress, there’s still the question of whether getting rid of ( 去除) fear is a good idea or not. In fact, Dave Smithson ofthe charity Anxiety UK thinks it’s a bad idea. “It’s fear that prevents us from doing crazy things,” he said. “There’s a name for people who don’t have fear of consequences: psychopaths (精神变态者).”34. The main point of the article is to _________________.A. show us what kind of role fear plays in our livesB. discuss if it is good to try to get rid of fearC. tell us about fear and phobiaD. discuss scientific studies about fear35. How does the writer make the meaning of “phobia” clear?A. By making comparisons (比较).B. By giving examples.C. By giving statistics (数据).D. By giving lively descriptions (描述).36. Which of the following shows the progress scientists have made in finding ways to deal with phobias?A. They can use phobias to keep our bodies alert.B. They can now reduce the pain that is connected with the phobia.C. New medicine can shut off fear centers in animal brains whenever needed.D.

Thesix-year-old continued, "Well, animals already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long."I’d never heard a more soft-hearted explanation as to why animal lives are so short.

People do this all the time in their own language, so it is necessary to do this in a foreign language, too. Here are some examples.◆“What’s the matter?”“I went to a party last night, so I…”◆“I feel so tired these days.”“I think you’d better…”◆“Of course, she never stops talking. She is one of the most…”You can see from the above three examples that the context(上下文)helps a lot in understanding what is being talked about. So “guessing” is very important in understanding English, especially spoken English.( ) 25. This passage tells us mainly about _______.A. the importance of “guessing” in learning a foreign languageB. how to guess what one is going to talk aboutC. some examples of right guessingD. how important it is to guess all the time( ) 26. Which of the following best finishes the sentence in EXAMPLE 3?A. She is one of the most famous film stars.B. She is one of the most beautiful women.C. She is one of the most famous speakers.D. She is one of the most talkative women.( ) 27. From the passage we can infer(推断)that guessing is _______ in learning a foreign language.A. the only wayB. more important in spoken English than in written EnglishC. more important than any other wayD. more important in written English than in spoken EnglishBA few minutes before six o’clock, Mr. Smith decided to leave. He was about to start the car when a gunman jumped up from the back seat. He held a gun to Mr. Smith’s head. “Drive me to Paris!”he shouted.“All right”, Mr. Smith answered. He started the engine, pulled away from the side of the street and drove down. Being eighty-one years old, he knew he could not fight the gunman. He knew he needed help. Where were the police? As he drove through a crossing, he looked up and down the side streets, hoping to meet a police car. But he could see nothing. “Just my luck,” he thought, “If I was driving too fast, there would be a police car on every corner.”Suddenly he pushed his foot down on the accelerator(油门), and the car ran much faster. “What are you doing?”shouted the gunman. “Keeping off the police,”Mr. Smith answered. “I thought I saw a police car back there.”He ran lights, drove the wrong way on one-way streets. On two-way streets he drove on the wrong side of th e road. Not one policeman saw him. Again Mr. Smith’s plan was not working. He had to try a new plan. He turned a corner and saw the police station in front. Then he drove his car as fast as he could towards the police gate. The car hit a police motorbike down and stopped. Mr. Smith shouted, “Help! Help!” Then he reached back to grab(夺) the man’s gun. At the same time the policeman heard the noiseand quickly caught the gunman.28. Why did Mr. Smith drive much faster suddenly?A. Because he wanted to keep off the police.B. Because he saw a police car behind his.C. Because his plan was working.D. Because he wanted the police to see him.29. Which of the following is not TRUE?A. Mr. Smith ran lights, drove the wrong way on one-way streets.B. Mr. Smith knew he didn’t need any help.C. Mr. Smith drove his car as fast as he could towards the police gate.D. Mr. Smith looked up and down the side street, hoping to meet a police car.30. From the passage, what can we infer(推测)?A. Mr. Smith is a strong man.B. Mr. Smith is a shy man.C. Mr. Smith is a wise man.D. Mr. Smith is a stupid man.CWe don’t know how different our future will be in the future. We can only try to imagine it.At first we think about human relationship. In the year 2050, we will use computers almost every day we w ill be making new friends through the Internet—even our husbands or wives will be met in this way. It will be much faster and easier for us. On the other hand, our relationships with people won’t be as important as they are today—we will feel a little lonely.Computers will also help us in many other activities in 2050. For example, they will be used by the children at school to make their learning easier. In addition, there will be much more other machines which will play a similar role as computers, like r obots which will do the homework for us.Spending holidays will also be completely different. Traveling to other planets or to the moon will be available for everyone. Means(方式) of transport will, of course, change, too. We will be using solar-powered cars, which will be much cleaner.We could expect that the faster technological progress would lead to a more polluted environment. But it isn’t true. We will pay more attention to protecting the environment. And, scientists will probably find cures for many dangerous diseases, like cancer or AI DS. Therefore, our surroundings as well as health will be in better condition.Although we can’t predict(预测) the exact changes which will be made in the world, we often think about them. We worry about our and our children’s future; we have expectations, hopes as well as fears. But I think we should be rather sanguine(乐观的) about our future. We should be happy and believe good things will happen.31. Why will people probably feel a little lonely in 2050?A. Because the number of people will become much smaller．B. Because there will be less face-to-face communicationC. Because people won’t like making friends with each otherD. Because people won’t communicate with each other much often．32. According to the passage, which of the following will happen in 2050?A. The relationship between people will be more important than today.B. The way of spending holidays will be the same as that of today.C. It won’t be difficult for people to travel to other planets.D. Our environment will be much more polluted with a growing number of cars.33. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. How people will communicate in the year 2050.B. What our life will be like in the year 2050.C. How people will travel and spend their holidays in the year 2050.D. Wha t high technology will appear in the year 2050.DYou are probably familiar with the saying：An apple a day keeps the doctor away. A recent research carried out by the Chinese University of Hong Kong may change the saying:An apple a day may keep aging away.The research chose fruit flies(果蝇), as they share many genes(基因)with humans. The fruit flies were either fed normally or had an apple extract(浓缩物) added to their diet.It turned out that those fruit flies that were given apple extract lived about 55 days—five days longer than the flies that were normally fed. The research group also found it easier for the flies to walk，climb and move about as they aged.According to the result, the researchers believed that the antioxidants(抗氧化剂) in the appleextract helped clean up dangerous chemicals(化学物质) that cause illnesses，as well as aging.In another study，researchers examined diets of thousands of women. They discovered that those who regularly ate apples were 20 percent less likely to suffer heart illnesses and stroke.The apples’ genetic code(遗传密码) was discovered recently. It allows scientists to develop nicer and healthier fruits. Resear chers are already using the information to grow a kind of apples full of antioxidants that can keep eyes and joints healthy and protect humans against heart illnesses and cancer.Apples that kill the desire(欲望) to eat could also be produced, with the first“extra-healthy’’apples on supermarket shelves within just four or five years.The team that keeps studying apple DNA includes 100 scientists from five countries. Their research also suggests that around 65 million years ago, when dinosaurs began to die off the plant，which would finally become today’s apple tree, experienced a great genetic change. The number of many of its genes doubled. The extra genes allowed the apple to get used to worse conditions and go through a different development from peaches，strawberries and other related fruits.34．Why were fruit flies used for the research?A. Because they have a similar diet to humans.B. Because they have a history as long as apples.C. Because they share a lot of genes with humans.D. Because they feed on nothing but apple extract.35．What result did the researchers find out?A. Apples produce chemicals that can change hu man genes.B. Apples have antioxidants that kill chemicals that cause aging.C. Apples are rich in vitamins that are needed in humans’ bodies.D. Apples produce chemicals that make apples taste more delicious.36．What happened to apples around 65 million years ago according to the research?A. Their genes stopped their development as the environment got worse.B. Their genes became twice in number but they finally died off like dinosaurs.C. They experienced a great genetic change making them get used to worse conditions.D. They went through a similar development to peaches, strawberries and other related fruits. 37．What can we infer(推断)from the passage?A. Eating apples may bring us more advantages than we might believe before.B. People who have the habit of eating apples don’t need to see a doctor.C. Apples that kill the desire to eat are already available in supermarkets now.D. People will eat apples instead of peaches and strawberries from now on.第二卷（非选择题，共40分）四、词汇运用根据所给单词或所给中文写出单词的正确形式(本大题共8分，每小题1分)1.

Here is some "breaking" news: the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has added breaking into the 2024 Paris Olympic Games!Breaking might be one of the very strange sports to be added to the Games, as it's often seen as more of an art form than a sport.The dance style first appeared on the streets of New York in the 1970s. In the 1980s, breaking swept around the world when it was adopted (釆用)by pop stars such as Michael Jackson. Young people worldwide were crazy about such kind of dance style.Over the past few years, there has been a talk that the Olympic Games have become less interesting to young people. The IOC is trying to make the Games more "youthful", with sports that young people do in their spare time. 66We want to take sport to the youth, "said IOC President Thomas Bach.To be added to the Olympics, a sport must be practised by men in at least 75 countries on four continents （洲）and by women in no fewer than 40 countries on three continents. Also, it should be competitive and requires training just like other sports. Dancers need to have strong upper body and core strength. "It's great that it gives us more recognition as a sport, " said British breakdancer Karam Singh.➢It became 2 among young people worl dwide inthe 1980s.Reason ➢Young people have become less 3 in the Olympics.__ 4➢It must be 5 practised around the world.➢t must be competitive and it requires training.答案：1. appear2. popular3. interested4.

Do you know how water gets from the roots of a plant to therest of theplant?The water travels through tiny tubes that from pathways to all parts of the plant.This is similar to how blood flows in our bodies. And here is an experiment to prove it.Materials● a celery stick● a sharp knife● a glass of water●some red food colourSteps1)Put a few drops of the red food colour in the glass of water.2)Cut the bottom of the celery stick and place the celery in the water.3)Leave the celery stick in the glass of water for several hours.4)Remove the celery stick and cut it into pieces horizontally, that is, across the stem(茎).ObservationRed food colour is present in all cross sections from the bottom of the celery stick right up to the leaves. ExplanationThe water, along with the red food colour, has been transported up the celery stick through the tiny tubes in it. The experiment, therefore, proves that tiny tubes in plants enable water to reach all parts of the plant. The red food colour shows where the water has travelled to in the celery stick.4.What do you observe when the celery stick is cut into cross sections?A. The inside of the celery stick is empty.B. The water in the glass has disappeared.C. The celery stick has become bigger.D. All the cross sections have become red.5.In the experiment, why is red food colour added to the water?A. It makes the celery stick look nicer.B. The water’s path in a plant can be seen.C. The plant needs food colour to survive.D. It helps the plant to transport the water.6.The experiment aims to show ________.A. how to colour a stick of celeryB. that plants would die without waterC. how water travels through a plantD. that science experiments are fun to doCThe Vienna-based researchers showed that dogs will stop doing a simple task when not rewarded if another dog, which continues to be rewarded, is present.The experiment consisted of taking pairs of dogs and getting them to present a paw for a reward.On giving this “handshake” the dogs received a piece of food.One of the dogs was then asked to shake hands, but received no food.The other dog continued to get the food when it was asked to perform the task.The dog without the reward quickly stopped doing the task, and showed signs of anger or stress when its partner was rewarded.To make sure that the experiment was really showing the interaction between the dogs rather than just the frustration of not being rewarded, a similar experiment was conducted where the dogs performed the task without the partner.Here they continued to present the paw for much longer.Dr Frederike Range from the University of Vienna says this shows that it was the presence of the rewarded partner that was the greater influence on their behaviour.“The only difference is one gets food and the other doesn’t, they are responding to being unequally rewarded.” she said.The researchers say this kind of behaviour, where one animal gets frustrated with what is happening with another, has only been observed in primates(灵长类) before.Studies with various types of monkeys and chimpanzees show they react not only to seeing their partners receiving rewards when they are not, but also to the type of reward.The dog study also looked at whether the type of reward made a difference.Dogs were given either bread or sausage, but seemed to react equally to either.Dr. Range says this may be because they have been trained.7.The dogs refused to give the paw when they ________．A.found another dog was given nothingB.felt they were not treated equallyC.were aware they received less foodD.were given too much reward8.According to the passage, compared with dogs, monkeys and chimpanzees ________．A.pay no attention to the type of rewardB.only like to play interesting gamesC.pay attention to the type of reward as well as whether they are rewardedD.care more about how they are rewarded9.Which of the following can best summarize the passage?A.Animals’ various ways to s how anger.B.Dogs are more envious than man.C.Most animals want to be rewarded for their work.D. Animals also have a sense of fairness.DIf Confucius(功夫子) were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. He’d need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. It’s nothing personal. Most Americans don’t even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.But this doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schoolsteach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually included Chinese art, history and philosophy. Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantages of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Westerners philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.So the old thinker’s ideas are still alive and well.Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.10.The opening paragraph is mainly intended to ________.A. provide some key facts about ConfuciusB.attract the readers’ interest in the subjectC.show great respect for the ancient thinkerD.prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations11.We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students________.A.fight for a chance to learn ChineseB.try to get high scores in Chinese examsC.have a great interest in studying ChineseD.take an active part in Chinese competitions12.What is the best title for the passage?A.Forgotten Wisdom in AmericaB.Old Thinker with a Big FutureC.Chinese Culture for WesternersD.Huge Fans of the Chinese Language13.The passage is likely to appear in ________.A.a biography(自传)B.a history paperC.a newspaperD.a philosophy textbook四、词汇运用1.Getting affordable housing is not really difficult,____________ (特别) if you know where to go and what tolook for.2.Was he busy ____________ (解释) who each person in the photo was?3.The story was certainly a favourite one, but it was pure ____________ (创意).4.Deeply attracted by the dancer’s ____________ (活泼的) performing style, John forgot the time.5.The ____________ (center) point of education is to teach people to think, to use their rational powers, and tobecome better problem solvers.6.To our surprise, less than four ____________ (nine) of the money raised by the athletes was spent helpingthe disabled.pared with the pancakes made by myself, the ones made by my mother are much ____________ (taste).8.Most ____________ (music) agree that the best violins were first made in Cremona, Italy, about 200 yearsago.五、动词填空1.The class teacheras well as all the students ____________ (clap) wildly when the host announced Tom wasthe winner of the competition.2.--- I can’t find my wallet anywhere. Someone on the bus ____________ (steal) it.--- Here it is.You gave it to me just now.How forgetful you are!3.While I was making a poster for the coming Father’s Day, a picture of balloons ____________ (stick) to theback because of the sudden phone call.4.--- Oh, we didn’t put the fish into the fridge yesterday.Things go bad easily these days.--- No wonder it ____________ (smell)!5.We are glad to see that many Chinese people respond to the call of our country so actively that the oldcustoms ____________ (die) little by little.6.____________ (compare) the results of different experiments with their professor, the college studentsfinally found out the mistake they had made.六、阅读填空Though times have changed, falling asleep in class is still a common occurrence(常事)among teenagers.Why do students sometimes fall asleep in class?An obvious reason is lack of sleep. However, there are also causes for getting too little sleep. Homework is a daily occurrence for most students,one that can take three to four hours per night.A teenager who wants to be able to take part in any activity besides homework must stay up late to fit everything in.Club activities, sports, computer-game playing, and TV viewing, for example,all contribute to(促成) teens having less time for both homework and sleep.Sometimes teens lack sleep because of after-school jobs that are taken on to earn extra money for college, family expenses, or simply for clothes.Physical problems are another factor that can cause students to fall asleep in class. For example, insomnia,which may keep a student up at night, causing exhaustion(疲惫不堪)during class hours, is a serious problem that may require medical attention.Medical evidence also supports the idea that each person has a body clock that helps to decide his or her sleeppattern. Unluckily, these body clocks do not always work according to school timetables.The effects of falling asleep in class can be quite serious. First of all, sleeping in class is not a good way to endear(使受喜爱) yourself to teachers. In addition, it is highly possible that other students may make jokes about those who sleep in class. However, the most harmful effect of sleeping in class is missing out on important points. In the long run, sleepers may end up failing classes.Since teens are probably not going to deal with the problem,falling asleep in class will probably remain an all-too-common occurrence. It will continue until more teens find a way to balance their personal and social lives with school and work, while still finding enough time to sleep.1. ____________2. ____________3. ____________4. ____________5. ____________七、完成句子1.天问一号探测器于5月15日成功着陆火星，标志着中国航天事业的又一历史性成就。

Mrs. Jones has a list of recipes(菜谱) from ancient Greece and Rome. You may make American food, but be sure to give it a special, mythological(神话的) name.

To make students more physically strong.C. To make students more creative in making foods or performing.D. To help students learn about ancient Greek and Roman cultures.(B)By now, most people know they should be eating more vegetables. But are there ways to get more from the vegetables you already eat? A research shows that when it comes to vegetables, it’s not only how much we eat, but also how we prepare them, that decides the vitamins(维生素) and other nutrients(营养物) that enter our body.Many studies show that people who eat lots of vegetables have less heart disease, and eye problems and even cancer. But raw(生的) vegetables are not always best. The researchers found that 198 Germans who eat raw food were short of lycopene(番茄红素), the matter found in tomatoes and other red vegetables. “There is an idea that raw foods are always going to be better,” says Steven K. Clinton, a professor at Ohio State University. “For fruits and vegetables, s ometimes a little bit of cooking can be helpful.”A number decide how the vegetables do good to people’s health before they reach the table, including where and how they were grown and stored before being bought. No single cooking way is best. Some nutrients are easily lost in cooking if they are cooked in different ways.Vitamins C and B are often lost. In January, another report said that boiling was better for carrots than frying(油炸) or serving them raw. Frying was the worst way to cook.What cooked with the vegetables can also be important? When the vegetables are cooked with fat, the diners can get more nutrients. Fat can also make the taste of vegetables better, meaning that people will eat more of them. Putting some other things will make it taste better—a little salt—can make the food taste better.（）28. The people who eat the raw vegetables for a long time will ________.A. have the eyes problemsB. have heart diseaseC. be in need of lycopeneD. hate eating tomatoes（）29. The following decide how the vegetables do good to people EXCEPT ________.A. the place where the vegetables are grownB. the way how the vegetables are storedC. the way how the vegetables are preparedD. the price at which the vegetables are sold（）30. From the last paragraph, we can know ________.A. it’s better to cook vegetables with the fatB. the more fat in the cooking, the fewer vegetables people will eatC. it’s better to cook the veg etables without saltD. the fat will increase the nutrition of the vegetables（C）"BANG!" the door caused a big noise. It was just standing there, with Father standing on one side, and I on the other side.We were both in great anger. "Never set foot in this house again!" stormed Father. With tears in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.The street lights were shining, causing rather sad-feeling. I walked aimlessly.A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.But now... I don't know whether it is because I have grown up or because Dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. He always puts his opinions and rules of behaviour on me. Whenever I do something wrong, he never allows it. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.I walked in the streets, without a place in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As I walked on, there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to accompany me. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on.I thought to myself: "Is Father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?"In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, Dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps. I can't stand his words: "I can't throw you away, let alone these old papers?"All the lights were off except Father's.Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn't know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any pity or any moments of feeling sorry. After an argument he has the habit of appearing silently in my sleep and then helping me under the covers.This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.The light was still on. "Am I wrong?" I whispered, maybe... With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door, tears ran down my face. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist (存在) at all. Love---is second to none.（）31. Which is the best order of the following according to what happened in the passage?a. I opened the door and entered the house.b. Sadly I ran out into the street.c. I reached the place where I lived and saw my house still brightly lit.d. I thought of my father's kindness towards me.e. I walked about in the street without any aim.A. b-e-d-c-aB. b-e-c-d-aC. b-e-a-c-dD. b-e-c-a-d（）32. What can we learn from the passage?A. The father treats his son in an unfair way.B. The father is actually kind to his son.C. The father is neither kind nor rude to his son.D. The father is always finding his son wrong.（）33.This passage is mainly about________.A. How the boy understand his father’s loveB. Where the boy wentC. What made a father angryD. Why the boy left home（D）Most people around the world are right-handed. This also seems to be true in history. In 1799, scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1,500 B.C. to the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are right-handed, so the scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the world’s population is left-handed.Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know that a person’s two hands each have their own jobs. For most people, the hand is used to find things or hold things. The right hand is used to work with things. This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain. The right side of the brain, which makes a person’s hands and eyes work together, controls the left hand. The left-side of the brain, which controls the right hand, is the centre for thinking and doing problems. These findings show that more artists should be left-handed, and studies have found that left-handedness is twice as common among artists as among people in other jobs.No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed instead of left-handed. Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-handed because their main brain is damaged when they are born.
