we dislike changeFear of change is___75___new.Over a century ago,people in Paris were unhappy over an unusual addition to their city:the Eiffel Tower.In fact,the citizens were so angry about the plans for the tower that they were against its construction（建造）.As strange as it may seem,their anger was completely___76___.They were given no choice about the huge change that was going to be made,so they became angry.But we get upset over changes evenwhen we do have to a say in the matter.Changes are brought about every day by the decisions we make:which school to attend,which job to take.Voluntary（出于自愿的）changes also make most of us uneasy because we don’t know how those changes will___77___our future.How we can overcome our fear of changePeople have discovered that the key to overcoming the fear of change is to be flexible.When people are flexible,they can___78___new situations more easily.Being flexible is especially important in the21st century as technology makes change occur faster than ever before.Those who were against change,especially with technologyin the workplace,may end up finding themselves out of a job.fact,the change may turn out to be the best thing for you.That new job you got may end up being much better thanyour old one.You may make the best friends of your life in the new city you moved to.___80___,don’t justfocuson how you feel about change.You should learn to accept the change.The change is the reality and it’s up to you todecide whether the change will be a success or a failure.You never know—your next change may be your life’sEiffel

many,the answer is quite simple:You reach for your phone.Five minutes of short videos or funny pictures seem like a p___81___break.If that sounds familiar,a new study has bad news.Reaching for your phone is likely to leave you feeling more bored.The problem isn’t taking a break.The problem is your phone.A research shows using phones can’t help people r___82___from their heavy work.To figure out the r___83___between phones and boredom,the research team installed（安装）an app on the phones of83volunteers to find out how often they used their phones.They alsoasked these volunteers to keep diaries for three days,recording their level ofboredom every hour“Phone breaks were frequent（频繁的）：In the20minutes following eachquestionnaire,the volunteers pickedup their phones52percent of the time.They spent an average of around90secondson it each time,”reports the research team.“The more tired we are,the mostl___84___we are to reach for our phones.While we look to our phones to relieve（减轻）boredom,screen time seemed to i___85___feelings of boredom.The volunteers actually reported higher levels of boredom after having used their smartphones.”The research team pointed out that phone breaks may end up being more tiring than stimulating.In other words,watching the funny videos is very nice,but it’s now w___86___the cost to your brain in effort and concentration.In addition,picking up your phone might remind you that you have a better choice to do something else if you don’t have to finish the tasks immediately.Both your time and effort are easily wasted.What should we do i___87___?Taking a walk is good exercise.Calling someone can make your mood cheerful.Reading a book gives your brain a fresh start.You can do many things like that.Just remember,don’t reach for your phone!D.Answer the questions.It was a few years ago.A friend had sent me restaurant gift card for Christmas and I had picked a sunny Sunday afternoon to use it.It felt good taking my two grown sons and daughter to a nice sit-down restaurant instead of the fast-food places we usually ate at.The meal was delicious and we all had a good time just being together.When the waitress brought the check.I looked down at it.The gift card covered almost all of it.I reached into my wallet to get enough cash to cover the rest.I saw two bills in my wallet.The first would cover the rest of the bill and give the waitress a nice tip.The second bill was much larger so I reached down to pick out the first one.At that moment my mind flashed back to30years ago.I was working as a waiter in a restaurant much like the one we were in now.It was long hours of hard work for low pay.I went home just only making enough to feed my young family.I also remembered how more than once I saw the waitress counting their little tips worrying about how they were going to pay the rent and buy their kids things they needed.I remembered the pain in their eyes and sadness in their faces at the end of the day.I blinked(眨眼)and was back in the present again.My fingers touched the smaller bill in my wallet.I smiled, pushed it back down,and picked out the much larger bill.I folded it around the gift card and covered both of them with the check.As we all got up from the table,I handed them to the hard-working waitress.“You keep the change,”I said with a smile and a happy heart.We are all children of the same earth.Do your best to be kind then.88.Did the writer take his children to the fast-food places they usually ate at on the sunny Sunday afternoon?89.Why didn’t the writer choose the second bill in the first place?90.What made the writer change his mind in the end?91.Why are there always pain and sadness in the waitresses’faces at the end of the day?92.What does the underlined word“them”in paragraph6refer to?93.How do you understand the underlined sentence“We are all children of the same earth.”?VII.Writing(作文）（共20分）94.Write at least60words about the topic“An act of kindness”.(以“一个善意的举动”为题写一篇不少于60个词的短文，标点符号不占格。

But Henry Patterson is busy running a successful online business instead.Patterson, a teenager from England, began to have this idea when he was nine.

The items he sell feature（以…为特色）characters from a book he wrote called The Adventures of Sherb and Pip.Patterson’s early school years were difficult, as he showed great difference from his peers （同辈人）.

He tried very hard to express himself clearly and talk to bigger audience.

I am thankful for the help I received from others.When I was in high school, I took part in the Upward Bound Program. Through Upward Bound, I was able to gain skills and opportunities that have helped me become the man that I am today. So I now often give back to enable kids to have the same 46 at life that I have had.V olunteering is the best way to thank those who helped me on the road to success. I remember asking a counselor（顾问）when I was in Upward Bound how I could repay him. He smiled and said, "Shawn, you can help me by helping others." A sentence so simple, yet so 47 in its meaning.When I got my first volunteer position as a junior counselor at my local Boys and Girls Club, I was eager to be a great role model for kids.

Their interesting design and easy use a51．children of all ages. They are always the best choices as gifts. Most t52．toys, like building blocks, were first made of wood. Today, wooden building blocks are still used, but now there are several other types of building blocks to choose from, like plastic building blocks.Children build all kinds of things that they see in everyday life with building blocks. This gives them the chance to learn the l53．things and life skills.Building blocks can help children p54．their language skills. Most children talk to each other as they build things with these traditional toys. This type of toy also helps develop the skills that children n55．in life. As they begin to join groups playing with building blocks, they learn to take turns, share, and solve problems with others. However, these are not the onlya56．of playing with building blocks.Building blocks can also help develop children’s skills in math and science. They allow children to work according to the steps of scientific discovery, which are first to watch and think, and then to test. Building blocks also come in different shapes, colors and sizes. These types of building blocks encourage children to develop skills in d57．things.Playing with building blocks is both fun and very helpful. Maybe that is the reason why building blocks are still popular today.十一、回答问题58． A little stream ran down from a high mountain far, far away through many villages and forests, until it reached a desert. The stream then thought, “I’ve been through countless difficulties. I should have no problem crossing the desert!” But as she started her journey, she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand. After many tries, she still failed and was very unhappy. “Maybe I can’t reach the ocean in the end,” she said sadly to herself.At this time, a deep voice came, “if a breeze（微风）can cross the desert, so can a river.” It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream replied, “That’s because a breeze can fly, but I cannot.” “That’s because you can’t give up what you are. If you like to do it, and let yourself evaporate（蒸发）into the breeze, it can take you across, and you can reach the ocean,” said the desert.“Give up what I am now and disappear into the breeze? No! No!” The little stre am could not accept this idea.After all, she had never experienced anything like it before.“The breeze can carry the vapor（水蒸气）across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again to continue its course,” explained the desert very patiently.“ And whether you are a river or vapor, your nature never changes,” continued the desert. Hearing this, the little stream rushed into the open arms of the breeze, which carried her to the next stage of her life.The course of our lives is like the experience of the little stream.1. Where did a little stream run from?2. What did the little stream think before she got to the desert?3. What happened to the little stream when she got to the desert?4. The little stream acc epted the desert’s advice at first, didn’t she?5. What does the underlined word“it”in Paragraph 3 refer to?6. Where did the little stream finally arrive at?

Another 【小题4】 is that the guests on these shows have interesting experiences and meet new people.A. dangerousB. followC. successfulD. winnerE. breakOn the other hand, some people think that reality TV is an easy way for them to become famous. However, most 【小题5】 singers, actors or chefs have worked hard all their lives. They are good at their job because of their hard work.

Dogs bury bones. Squirrels gather nuts to last through the winter. Camels store food and water so that they can travel many days across deserts. But do pigs save anything? No, pigs save nothing. So why do we save coins in a piggy bank? Because someone made a mistake.During the Middle Ages（中世纪）, in about the fifteenth century, metal was _________ and seldom used for household wares（家用器具）. Instead, dishes and pots were made of a kind of economical clay called pygg. Whenever housewives could save an extra coin, they dropped it into one of their clay jars. They call this their pygg bank or pyggy bank.Around the eighteenth century, the spelling of pygg changed. The word _______ the same as the word for the animal pig. Over the following 200 to 300 years, people ________ that pygg meant the clay. And the term "pygg jar" gradually changed into pig bank, or piggy bank.In the nineteenth century, when English potters received requests for piggy banks, they misunderstood. They produced jars shaped like a pig. _______, the pigs became popular among customers and delighted children.Another reason for the name "piggy bank" is _________ the idea that the coin given to the piggy bank represent the food fed to a pig by a farmer. It costs the farmer money to feed the pig and he doesn't _______ until the pig is slaughtered（屠宰）for meat, which is known as "breaking the piggy bank."Today, pigs are still one of the most popular forms of coin banks sold in gift shops.【小题1】A．cheap B．expensive C．heavy D．light【小题2】A．looked B．smelt C．sounded D．felt【小题3】A．forgot B．forgave C．remembered D．realized【小题4】A．Importantly B．Suddenly C．Sadly D．Certainly【小题5】A．similar to B．based on C．famous for D．made of【小题6】A．turn it over B．take it away C．get it back D．work it out十二、短文汉语提示填空(★★★★)34. Have you seen the Hollywood movie Sherlock Holmes? Holmes is a character created by British writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. His books were so popular that Holmes soon b【小题1】"the most famous detective in the world." What do you need to be a good detective? The movie Sherlock Holmes will show you.In this movie, this great detective faces a dangerous man, Lord Blackwood. Together with his best friend Dr. Watson, Holmes stops Blackwood's plan to c 【小题2】the world with black "magic".Most of us are not as intelligent as Holmes. But we can also work out mysteries on our own. All we have to do is to follow some simple rules.Rule No. 1: Justice（正义）is the most important.No matter how smart he or she is, the most important quality for a detective is being good. In the movie, Lord Blackwood and Sherlock Holmes are both very intelligent. The d 【小题3】is that Lord Blackwood is a bad man and he does bad things. Holmes can beat him on the side of justice.Rule No. 2: Have sharp eyes.Every bad man tries to cover up what he did. But not all things can be covered up easily. A good detective can discover clues hidden at crime scenes with sharp eyes. For example, Holmes can simply look at a man's footprints and q 【小题4】ind out his personal information like age and habits.Rule No. 3: A good a 【小题5】is a great help.Even though Holmes has knowledge about many s 【小题6】, such as chemistry, botany（植物学）and anatomy（解剖学）, he still needs Dr. Watson's help to solve mysteries. You should also have someone to help you, especially if you don't know as much as Holmes.Rule No. 4: Logic（逻辑）is the key.A good detective never jumps to conclusions. When all the necessary clues are put together, you'd better think carefully. If you can't work it out, don't be a 【小题7】. Just take a deep breath and concentrate on thinking. Logic can help you discover missing clues.十三、阅读回答问题(★★★★)35. Mr. Smith stood before his class of 30 students and was going to hand out the final exam papers. "I know how hard you have all worked to get ready for this test," he said. "And because I know you are all able to understand these questions, I'm ready to offer a B to anyone who would prefer not to take the test."A number of students jumped up to thank the teacher and left the classroom. Mr. Smith looked at the rest of the students and said. "Does anyone else want to get a B? This is your last chance." Two more students decided to go. Seven students stayed. Mr. Smith then handed out the papers. There were only three sentences on the paper: Congratulations! You have received an A in this class. Keep believing yourself.I never had a teacher who gave a test like that, but I think it is a test that any teacher could and should give. Students who do not have confidence in what they have learned are B students at most.The same is true of students in real life. The A students are those who believe in what they are doing because they have learned from both successes and failures. They have learned life's lessons, whether from school education or from events in their lives, and have become better people. Scientists say that by the age of eight, 80 percent of what we believe about ourselves has already been formed. You are a big kid now and you realize that you have some limits.

But the little stream replied, “That’s because a breeze can fly, but I cannot.” “That’s because you can’t give up what you are. If you like to do it, and let yourself evaporate（蒸发）into the breeze, it can take you across, and you can reach the ocean,” said the desert.“Give up what I am now and disappear into the breeze? No! No!” The little stre am could not accept this idea.After all, she had never experienced anything like it before.“The breeze can carry the vapor（水蒸气）across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again to continue its course,” explained the desert very patiently.“ And whether you are a river or vapor, your nature never changes,” continued the desert. Hearing this, the little stream rushed into the open arms of the breeze, which carried her to the next stage of her life.The course of our lives is like the experience of the little stream.1.

Over a century ago, people in Paris were unhappy over an unusual addition to their city: the Eiffel Tower. In fact, the citizens were so angry about the plans for the tower that they were against its construction（建造）.As strange as it may seem, their anger was completely（2）_______. They were given no choice about the huge change that was going to be made, so they became angry. But we get upset over changes even when we do have to a say in the matter. Changes are brought about every day by the decisions we make: which school to attend, which job to take. Voluntary（出于自愿的）changes also make most of us uneasy because we don't know how those changes will（3）_______our future.How we can overcome our fear of changePeople have discovered that the key to overcoming the fear of change is to be flexible. When people are flexible, they can（4）_______new situations more easily. Being flexible is especially important in the 21st century as technology makes change occur faster than ever before. Those who were against change, especially with technology in the workplace, may end up finding themselves out of a job.When change comes, and you have no choice but to（5）_______it. A positive（积极的）attitude helps a lot. In fact, the change may turn out to be the best thing for you.That new job you got may end up being much better than your old one.You may make the best friends of your life in the new city you moved to.（6）_______, don't just focus on how you feel about change.

Five minutes of short videos or funny pictures seem like a（1）p________break.If that sounds familiar， a new study has bad news. Reaching for your phone is likely to leave you feeling more bored. The problem isn't taking a break. The problem is your phone. A research shows using phones can't help people （2）r________ from their heavy work.To figure out the （3）r________between phones and boredom， the research team installed （安装）an app on the phones of 83 volunteers to find out how often they used their phones. They also asked these volunteers to keep diaries for three days， recording their level of boredom every hour "Phone breaks were frequent （频繁的）：In the 20 minutes following each questionnaire， the volunteers picked up their phones 52 percent of the time. They spent an average of around 90 seconds on it each time， " reports the research team. " The more tired we are， the most（4）l________we are to reach for our phones.

In addition， picking up your phone might remind you that you have a better choice to do something else if you don't have to finish the tasks immediately.Both your time and effort are easily wasted.What should we do （7）i________ ？ Taking a walk is good exercise.

Answer thequestions.It was a few years ago.A friend had sent me a restaurant gift card for Christmas and I had picked a sunny Sunday afternoon to use it.It felt good taking my two grown sons and daughter to a nice sit﹣down restaurant instead of the fast﹣food places we usually ateat.The meal was delicious and we all had a good time just being together.When the waitress brought the check. I looked down at it. The gift card covered almost all of it. I reached into my wallet to get enough cash to cover the rest. I saw two bills in my wallet. The first would cover the rest of the bill and give the waitress a nice tip. The second bill was much larger so I reached down to pick out the first one.At that moment my mind flashed back to 30 years ago. I was working as a waiter in a restaurant much like the one we were in now. It was long hours of hard work for low pay. I went home just only making enough to feed my young family. I also remembered how more than once I saw the waitress counting their little tips worrying about how they were going to pay the rent and buy their kids things they needed. I remembered the pain in their eyes and sadness in their faces at the end of theday.I blinked（眨眼）and was back in the present again. My fingers touched the smaller bill inmy wallet. I smiled，pushed it back down， and picked out the much larger bill. I folded it around the gift card and covered both of them with the check. As we all got up from the table，I handed them to the hard﹣working waitress. "You keep the change，" I said with a smile and a happyheart.________.Do your best to be kind then.（1）Did the writer take his children to the fast﹣food places they usually ate at on the sunny Sunday afternoon？________（2）Why didn't the writer choose the second bill in the firstplace？________（3）What made the writer change his mind in theend？________（4）Why are there always pain and sadness in the waitresses' faces at the end of the day？________（5）What does the underlined word "them" in paragraph 6 referto？________（6）How do you understand the underlined sentence"We are all children of the same earth."？________VII.Writing（作文）（共20分）42.

Directions： Read the following passage． Summarize the main idea and the main point （s） of the passage in no more than 60 words． Use your own words as far as possible．Every culture has set rules about how people should act． Patterns of good behavior， or manners， show respect and care for others． Yet the details of how to express respect vary．Greeting people cheerfully is almost always considered polite． But it's more important in some cultures than others． For example， when you enter a store in France， you should always greet the person working there． Other cultures also value greeting people． But of course the greetings vary as people speak different languages．When I was growing up in the United States， I once participated in a performance at my church． Afterward， someone gave me a compliment， but I felt like I had done a bad job． So I tried to refuse the compliment， saying， "No， I didn't do that well．" My mother got my attention and told me that was very rude． Later I learned that refusing a compliment is accepted and even approved of in China．Some of the biggest cultural differences have to do with table manners． In North America，it's polite to eat as quietly as possible． That means chewing with your mouth closed andnot slurping（吃东西时发出的声音）your soup． The same goes for burping（打嗝）． But in parts of Asia slurping shows that you are enjoying your meal． And burping is a sign of being full and content．There are also differences in how people eat across cultures． For example， in North America and Europe people use forks to bring food to their mouths． But in Thailand， afork is only used to push food onto a spoon． In India and the Middle East， people eat with their hands． But eating with the left hand is forbidden． This is because the left hand is considered unclean．Yet there are also similar points across cultures． Saying "please" and "thank you"， for example， is almost always polite． If you show appreciation and try to follow local customs，people will generally respond well． Showing kindness can bring people together， no matter what culture they come from．十二、单词填空34.Few people know about online food delivery apps 10 years ago, but today many would find that it is hard to live w【小题1】 them. In China alone, over 400 million people use such apps. For better or for worse, online food delivery s【小题2】 have changed the way we eat, and they are also having a huge influence on our society.These apps have no doubt bringing us many benefits. They provide jobs for millions of people and help restaurants find more customers. S【小题3】 the apps are very convenient, they also benefit consumers. We can now have meals delivered at any time of day, which is especially important for people who work long hours, as they might not have time to cook. Not only do these apps save time, they also provide us with a wide variety of restaurants to choose from.However, we must not forget the problems of online food delivery. For one thing, they make it even easier to order u【小题4】 food, high in sugar, fat and salt. Food safety is another problem. It can be hard to tell where the food a【小题5】 comes from, and whether the owner is allowed to run a restaurant. As couriers (递送者) need to deliver the orders as quickly as possible, some may pay less attention to traffic rules. These years, there have been a number of terrible traffic accidents because of this. Moreover, the industry is p【小题6】unbelievable amounts of packaging waste. Over a million tons of online food delivery boxes are thrown away every year.There are many good points of online food delivery, but we need to make sure that we make the right c【小题7】 in the long run. We should do our best to limit waste, especially whenit comes to packaging. We also need to think about what we eat and the influence on our health. Next time you want to order in, you should think about whether you really need to. In most cases, it is better to walk over to the supermarket, buy the ingredients you need, and then cook them on your own.十三、回答问题35. On June 28， my parents celebrated 70 years of marriage． Mum and Dad live in Calve． They have been through years of hard work and good times always supporting each other．As a child， I remember my parents working side by side for spring， fall， winter， and summer cleaning or working in the yard， or painting， and wallpapering．My parents bought a house in Eimont． They never believed they'd be able to own their own home， and to them， it was their castle． They worked hard to decorate it and kept it looking beautiful． They taught us to work hard and to enjoy everything we had．Mom likes everything﹣sightseeing， clubs， anything． And everything Dad， even today，can't understand why she always wants to go out! Mom is still active with the Red Hatters women's group and her gardening club． Dad spoils her by taking care of the house， butalso watches a lot of baseball and does jigsaw puzzles．The key to their successful marriage is that they respect each other． With the help of my brother， they also stay current with new technology， Their latest acquisition is an iPad．My brother， who is 67， and I （now 69），have always known we are lucky to have such great parents． They have shown us what love is， what hard work is， and what respect is all about．My daughter and I try to see them almost every weekend when we play cards together and catch up on the week's news．My parents are the glue that holds our whole family together， making holidays and ordinary days special to us all．I know we are lucky to have them both， I even save all of their voice﹣mail messages， just so I'll have their voice to hear when they are not here， But Mom keeps telling us all she's certainly going to live to be 100． So we will have a few more holidays， birthdays， and memories to experience．上海市闵行区2020-2021学年九年级上学期期末（一模）英语试题答案1.
