They can smell food from a long way away.” Said Ben.“We must keep the camp clean,” I said. “Bears might think our rubbish is food.”“Ok, let’s tidy up and move on. And we should make lots of noise, too. If they know where we are, they may not come any closer,” said Joe.“ But If you see a bear,” said Ben, “you mustn’t make any sudden moves or make a sound. And above all, you mustn’t run. No one can run faster in the forest than a bear. And remember, we don’t have a gun to keep us safe!”That night, we went to sleep…or we tried to.The next day, we stopped at eleven o’clock for a break. while the others were resting, I went for a walk in the forest.Suddenly, I saw a baby bear playing with some sticks and stones. He looked so soft and friendly, and Iremember thinking, “If I reach out, I can just touch him.”There was a loud noise behind me.I stood very still. I didn’t even turn my head. There was another loud noise. The baby bear looked up, and ran past me. I turned pale and he ran past me into the woods.I was still for a few minutes. Then slowly I turned round, and I saw the baby bear and his huge mother walking away.I ran back to my friends. I have never run so fast.For the next ten days, every time there was a sudden noise, my blood went cold.1.

Someone who is born today can expect to live about thirty-five years longer than someone who was born in the nineteenth century. It is even thought that in the future more and more people will celebrate their hundredth birthdays. Here are five rules for a healthy life.1 Get off the sofa!Sure, it is comfortable to sit on the sofa and watch TV. But doctors say you should get off the sofa. To keep fit, you have to walk at least 10000 steps every day. In the past, people’s jobs required more physical effort. They often had to walk for miles every day. When farmers were working in the fields, they were keeping fit at the same time . Think about it: Do you get the same amount of exercise today as they did in the past?2 Eat healthy food!It is important to eat food that is fresh and natural, for example , fruit and vegetables. Fast food is not healthy. You should only have it once in a while. Eating too much of the wrong food will harm your health.3 Rest while you can!When we were babies, we slept for much of the night. Teenagers do not need as much sleep as babies, but it is important for you to get about eight hours’ sleep a night. At weekends, you have got more time, so use it not just for your friends , but for rest too.4 Do not worry. Be happy!Many people believe that happiness is important for our general health. Sometimes it is not easy to be a teenager because of the difficulties of school, exams or friendships. If you are worried about something, talk to your parents or your teacher.5 Say no to smoking!Yes, you knew I was going to say this! It is so important. Smoking is not cool. It is dangerous. It harms nearly every part of your body. Think about how your family and friends will feel, and think about what it will do to your health.1、if we want to keep fit, we should__________________A 、sit on the safa and watch TV.B、walk at least 10,000 steps every day.C、work in the fields every day .D、see a doctor every day.2、How long did we sleep when we were babies?A 、much of the nightB、eight hoursC、a nightD、at weekends3、Thanks to better health care, most people can live_____A 、about thirty five years .B、healthier and longerlives.C、in nineteenth century .D、in the furture.4、Sometimes it’s noteasy to be a teenage become of ______A 、not cool but along erows our general health.B、the difficulties of school exams and friendships.C、Both A and C .D、friendships.5、Who do you think the papssage is written for?A 、babies.B、people in the past .C、farmers .D、teenagers.Module6Do as the Romans doWe often say, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” So when you eat Western food, do as __①__ do. Here are some things that you may need to know about eating together in the west.In some Western countries, lunch is usually eaten at ___②____ 1 pm. Dinner is served around 7 pm or even later. In Spain it is __③___ to have lunch at 3 pm and dinner at 10 pm!At the start of a meal, the French say “Bon appetit”, and the Italians say “Buon appetito”.

More and more people, especially the young, prefer to read e-books online. They think e-books are much cheaper than paper books, and sometimes they are even free. What's more, it is more convenient to read e-books. People can read them whenever or wherever they want. However, some people enjoy reading paper books while relaxing in the sunshine. Here are some people's likes and dislikes about them.Julia, a writer I've been using an e-reader for nearly four years. It brings me lotsof convenience. I can save much space with it. I don't need to lookfor information from piles of books as I used to. Clicking the mouse or screen to read makes it easier. It also helps to save time. I can go on with my writing even on the subway while reading.Sam, amanager Nothing is better than the feel and smell of a real book. If Ihad a chance to make a choice, I'd choose a real book — somethingI can give as a gift. However, since I often go to different placeson business, having real books is difficult. That's why I've bought an e-reader.Emma, a nurseWith an e-reader, I am able to read books anywhere and anytime.My cell phone can hold more than 120 books.

But later, we may find that time just seems to fly by. Why does time seem to pass faster as we get older?According to the Daily Mail, our brains degrade as we get older. That decreases the amount of information we can deal with in a single day. "The human mind senses time changing when the perceived(感知到的) images change," Adrian Bejan from Duke University, the US, told the Daily Mail. "The present is different from the past because the mental viewing has changed, not because somebody's clock rings."Infants(幼儿), for example, move their eyes much more often than adults because they're processing(处理) images at a faster rate. They deal with a large amount of information and do many things in a single day.This makes them feellike a single day lasts for a long time. However, as people get older, fewer images are processed in the same amount of time. Therefore, older people receive less information during a day than younger people. This causes things to seem as though they were happening more quickly.Apart from the degradation of our brains, some psychological reasons also make us experience time differently.People may measure time by the number of memorable events that can be recalled(回忆) within a certain period. When we think about our youth, we may remember a life packed with first-time activities, for example, our first-time traveling without our parents, or our first date. We experienced these events so vividly that time then seemed to have passed very slowly. According to David Eagleman of the Baylor College of Medicine in the US, recalling these memories makes us feel like they took forever.Many adults find life is routine and sometimes dull. For this reason, when they look back, they might feel like there are not many exciting things to remember. Therefore, time seems to be moving faster to them.( )26.What does the underlined word "degrade" mean?A. Become better.B. Become worse.C. Remain the same.D. Become smaller.( )27.How do people sense time changing according to Adrian Bejan?A. It depends on how their clocks change.B. It depends on how the views around them change.C. It depends on how often they move their eyes.D. It depends on how the images they perceived change.( )28.What is the purpose of the fifth paragraph?A. To tell us that first-time activities are vivid and memorable.B. To tell us that first-time events can make time pass slowly.C. To tell us that psychological reasons make people sense time differently.D. To tell us that people should measure time by the number of memorable events. ( )29.Why does time seem to pass faster as we get older?A. Because our life will become routine and dull when we grow older.B. Because the degradation of our brains will make it slower to recall memories.C. Because we'll deal with less information in the same amount of time.D. Because we won't have first-time activities when we grow older.( )30.In which part of a magazine can you probably read the text?A. News.B. Sports.C. Health.D. Science.CIt's the end of class. When the bell rings, lots of students quickly take out their cell phones to log on to(登录) their WeChat.Recent surveys show that most students in middle schools have WeChat and some even update the Moments(更新朋友圈) over five times per day."We can learn many new and interesting things on WeChat and then they become popular topics in class," said Andy Liang, 14. "If you do not know about them, you are out of the loop."It is also a great way for students to reduce stress. "When I share these feelings on WeChat, I get many replies from friends in the same situation, which makes me feel better," said Simon Zhang.But parents are worried that WeChat may be a waste of time. "Some messages may even cause danger to kids," they said.Mr. Shen, a professor of education, suggests parents shouldn't worry too much as long as kids are not crazy about WeChat. Maybe it can become a window for parents to understand their children. "If parents can read their children's Moments, they'll know their thoughts, thus having better communication and solutions to some problems,"he said. He also gives some tips to kids.—Never use WeChat in class.—Don't stay on WeChat for more than one hour a day.—Try to talk face to face with people from time to time.—Don't trust all the messages on WeChat.( )31.The underlined part "out of the loop" probably means " ".A. not popularB. not excitedC. unhealthyD. unlucky( )32.WeChat made Simon when he shared his feelings with some friends.A. feel sadB. feel relaxedC. have stressD. become more friendly( )33.According to Mr. Shen, WeChat can .A. make kids get into troubleB. help parents understand their kids betterC. bring trouble to both kids and parentsD. lead to worse communication between parents and kids( )34.How long does Mr. Shen think children should spend on WeChat?A. About two hours a day.B. Five hours a day.C. Less than one hour a day.D. More than one hour a day.( )35.What is the writer's purpose in writing the passage?A. To introduce WeChat to parents.B. To tell parents not to worry about their kids.C. To improve the relationship between parents and kids.D. To show that WeChat can be helpful if it's used properly.阅读下列短文,并用英语回答问题(请注意每小题后面的词数要求)。

外研版英语九年级下册阅读理解、完形填空试题及答案2If you say the world, “communication”, most people think of words and sentences. Although these are very important, we communicate with more than just spoken and written words. We also use body language.We use body language when we are introduced to strangers. Europeans and Americans shake hands. They do this with the right hand—the strongest hand for most people. If our right hand is busy greeting someone, it cannot be holding a gun. So the gesture is saying, “I trust you. Look! I’m not carrying a gun.” If you shake hands with someone, you show that you trust them.In China, when we greet someone, we put the right hand over the left and bow slightly. Indians join their hands and bow their heads in respect. In all of these examples, the hands are busy with the greeting and cannot hold a gun. American youths often greet each other with theAnthony H., a second grader in Palmdale, learned about Operation Smile on TV.

In the northern part, the black bear is actually gray or white in color.Black bears are the smallest of all American bears, changing in leangth from five to six feet, weighing from three hundred to five hundred pounds. Their eye and ears are not as good as their sense of smell.Like all bears, the black bear is timid, clumsy, and rarely dangerous. But if attacked, most can climb trees at great speeds. When angry or frightened, it is a frightening enemy.Black bears feed on leaves, herbs, fruit, insects, fish, and even larger animals. One of the most interesting features of the black bear is its winter sleep. It didn’t sleep in witner.Most black bears live alone, except during the mating season. They prefer to live in caves. Baby bears are born in January or February, and they still stay with their mother until they are fully grown or about one and a half years old. Black bears can live as long as thirty years in the4. dangerous5. insectsSilence isn’t necessarily golden. Sometimes it’s just uncomfortable to find yourself with strangers and nothing to say. Author Debra Fine believes that learning to make “small talk” can be helpful. She explains how to do in her new book, The Fine Art of Small Talk.She visits The Early Show to talk about it. The following are a few of her words of advice: Greet People Warmly! Use Names“Be sure to ask if you don’t remember someone’s name,”Fine says. “And, be prepared to introduce people to each other.” It’s also important to smile and be the first to say hello.Show an Interest! Dig DeeperFine would like everybody to avoid asking questions that just lead to closed answers. “How is your day?” is one. You’ll never know how someone’s day is unless you dig deeper. You could say, “what is going on at work today?” This kind of question will bring a more detailed, thoughtful answer, and you can follow up with another question. You have to actually be interested in the other person to have a good conversation.Prepare for Conversations“Before going anywhere you need to make sure you have two or three things to talk about,”Fine says, “It only takes a couple of minutes to prepare. The worst time to think of what to say is when you actually have to say something. You can talk about current events or what you already know about the person. But you have to be prepared.”Stop Being an AdvisorThere’s a real temptation in the course of conversation to give someone you advice. Never do that. “No one asks for advice,” Fine says. “They just want to be heard. You don’t have to solve people’s problems in your conversations.”( )1. The Fine Art of Small Talk is a ___.A. bookB. talk showC. movieD. play( )2. How many pieces of advice are mentioned in the passage?A. Five.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.( )3. What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “closed answer”?A. The answers no one really cares about.B. No one knows the answers.C. The answers are the only.D. The answers are wrong.( )4. Which of the following is TRUE?A. If you’re the first one to say hello, it can make the other feel warm.B. “How is your day?” is a good question.C. You can talk about anything you like in the conversation.D. Giving the person some advice in the conversation is good.( )5. The best title for the passage is “____”.A. Who Is Debra Fine.B. The Power of Silence.C. What to Talk About in the Show.D. How to Make Small Talk.ADAADWhat will the world look like in the next 50 years? If you want to understand the future, you must know the past. The world has changed a lot in the last 150 years, but we humans are driven by the same basic needs as we were 150 years ago: food and sleep, and the feeling of being respected and loved.Now, what has affected most people around the world in everyday life is the telephone, electricity, radio, television, computer, car and the Internet. Since there is still much to do in these areas, we will still have to work on them at least for the next 150 years.Why should we predict the future? First, because we need to think about what kind of future we would like for ourselves and to pass on to the next generation. Then because we need to know what decisions we need to make today because they will give results in the future.What should we do to make the future great? The winner in life is not the one with the most money when he dies; the winner is the person who sleeps best at night. If you cannot do much for new inventions or new technology, you can do something for the basic needs of people. In order to feel good about yourself and the people around you, show them the love and respect that they need. This will help you to sleep and enjoy a bright future.1. What are the basic needs of humans according to the passage?Food and sleep, and the feeling of being respected and loved.2. How long will we have to work on the telephone, electricity, radio, television, computer, car and the Internet?At least next 150 years.3.

What is the second reason to predict the future?We need to know what decisions we need to make today.5.

That was why the Greeks started the war. The Odyssey was mainly about Odysseus. He was the hero during the Trojan War. He thought of the idea of 6 a Trojan horse.Homer’s Epic mainly recorded the Trojan War and the adventure that happened at sea from the twenty-first century BC to 7 century BC. Most of the stories in Homer’s Epic were oral stories. Homer’s Epic was the greatest written work in Greece. It was the foundation of Greek moral concepts. Some people say Homer’s Epic was mostly about Trojan War, 8 , in fact, only around 60 percent of it 9 about the war. We don’t know why he suddenly stopped writing about the Trojan War, either.

It is said that traffic lights have a long and interesting history.In 1868, the first traffic lights appeared at a crossing in London. The light came from burning a coal gas. Unfortunately, they explored after being used for only 23 days. At that time a man was on duty near the traffic lights and he lost his life in the explosion. Traffic lights weren’t used again until 1914. People started to replace coal gas with electricity.Nowadays in England, in order to make the traffic smoother and reduce pollution, the government encourages people to travel by bus. In some cities, the bus drivers have special remote controls. When they come to crossings, they can control the traffic lights by themselves. The population in the Repblic of San Marino is only about twenty thousand, but there are five thousand vehicles. To everyone’s surprise, there aren’t any traffic lights there. As a result of good road design and scientific methods of managing traffic, the traffic is quite smooth.Now, Moscow is getting ready to set up traffic lights that can speak.

外研版英语九年级下册阅读理解、完形填空试题及答案6Imagine the world without bridges. We wouldn’t get across rivers easily. In fact, we have a long history of using bridges.The first bridges were provided by nature. A tree that fell across a stream or a river simply became a wooden bridge. It was strong enough for a person or two to walk on at a time, but not for too many people. Then people began to make bridges with thick ropes. In China and other places, rope bridges are still used. They’re strong enough for more people to walk on.Later, people built arch bridge with stones. Arch bridges are among the strongest. Some were built more than 1,500 years ago and they are still in use. Even today, people build arch bridges, but usually of steel.Years later, the suspension bridge appeared. It is a modern type of bridge. It’s very common type of bridge. It’s very strong and each of its steel cables can hold thousands of pounds of weight. Probably the most familiar suspension bridge is California’s Golden Gate Bridge, with a main span of 1,280 meters. When it was finished in 1937, it was the world’s longest suspension bridge. In 1964, New York’s Verrazano Narrows Bridge beat it with a span of 1,298 meters. Then, in 1981, the record was broken by England’s Humber Bridge, with a span of 1,410 meters.
