However, he usually arrived at school wearing old clothes.On the day when it was Ronny's turn to read. He sat very close to me. I watched his fingers move slowly under each letter as "he tried to speak out "Bud the Sub". It sounded more like "Baw Daw Saw" when he said it because of his difficulty with the alphabet (字母).The year passed quickly and Ronny had made some progress but he was still below the level of grade.A few weeks before the school year ended, I held an award(颁奖) ceremony. I had gifts and certificates(证书) for everyone. It took me a while to think about which Ronny fit; I believed the gift could cheer him up. I finally decided on "The Most Progressive Reader". I showed his certificate and a book.A few days later, I saw Ronny reading the book when I went back to the school. His teacher said, "He hasn't put that book down. That's the first book he's ever owned. "Fighting back tears(眼泪) I came near Ronny and asked, "Will you read me your book, Ronny?" He nodded.And then, for the next few minutes, he read to me more smoothly than I'd ever thought. When he finished reading, Ronny closed his book and said, "Good book."At that moment, I knew I should do what an author(作家) had done-care children and make them excellent.（1）The writer found that there was something wrong with Ronny's .A . eyesB . talentC . pronunciationD . fingers（2）The writer praised Ronny at the end of the school year because in the class.A . he tried to do betterB . he could read the alphabet bestC . he was above the level of gradeD . he did as well as the other students（3）The underlined phrase "fighting back (tears)"in the fifth paragraph means .A . beginning to cry silentlyB . turning back to cry loudlyC . being filled with sad tearsD . trying hold not to show the feeling（4）The writer was moved so deeply that she wanted to .A . help more children become successfulB . take care of Ronny all the timeC . teach children in the school as a teacherD . write more novels for children（5）Choose the main idea of this article .A .

Dinosaurs have already disappeared from the earth,but today we still see sharks live in every ocean,especially those with warm water.Most sharks have four to six rows of teeth.When a tooth falls out,another tooth moves in from behind.Their teeth may seem frightening but sharks will not attack you unless you are too close to them or even hurt them.Sharks do not have ears,but they"hear"sounds in the water.Any sound makes the water vibrate.Then sharks sense it.This helps them find food.Sharks use their large eyes to find food,too.Most sharks see best in low light.So they often hunt for food at dawn*,in the evening,or in the middle of the night.Scientists want to learn more about sharks for several reasons.For example,cancer*is common in many animals,including people.However,it is rare in sharks.Scientists want to find out why sharks almost never get cancer.Maybe this information can help people prevent cancer, too.29.According to the text,most sharks live_____________.A.in deep waterB.in warm waterC.in peaceful waterD.in dirty water30.What does the underlined word vibrate mean?A.be pollutedB.be cleanedC.be stoppedD.be moved31.We can learn from the passage that______________________A.sharks are all very largeB.sharks hear with their earsC.sharks have a long historyD.sharks almost never get ill32.This passage introduces___________.A.an animal that is worth further studyB.a way in which animals communicateC.a disease which is common among sharksD.a time when both sharks and dinosaurs livedCIf you have ever been disappointed because you don’t have agood gardener,the clever robot may one day become the helper ofyour indoor plants.The Hexa Plant is a six-legged robot that has been speciallymade to care for the potted*plant that it carries on top of its head.Using light and heat sensors*,the robot has the ability to carry its plant in and out of the daylight.If the houseplant needs more sun,the Hexa will walk into the sunlight;and if the houseplant is getting too hot,the Hexa will go back into the area that stops direct light.The Hexa Plant will even do a little dance when it senses that the plant needs to be watered to warn its owner.The robot was developed by Vincross engineer and founder Sun Tianqi after he saw a dead sunflower sitting in the darkness in a room back in2014.“Plants only receive an action without responding*,”Sun Tianqi wrote in a blog post.“Whether they are being cut,bitten,burned or pulled from the earth,or when they haven’t received enough sunshine,water,or are too hot or cold, they will hold still and take whatever is happening to them.”According to Sun Tianqi,for billions of years,plants have never experienced movement of any kind,not even the simplest movement.In their whole lives,they stick to where they were born. Sun Tianqi continued,“Do they want to break their own settings or have a tendency*towards this?I do not know the answer,but I would love to try to share some of this human tendency and technology with plants.With the help of the robot,plants can experience the move.”The Hexa Plant model robots are not for sale,though Vincross does sell a Hexa robot model. It is said that in the near future the robots can open up a new market to watch over our household plants.33.What can we learn about the Hexa Plant?A.It helps people do some gardening.B.It waters the plants through dancing.C.It helps indoor plants get proper sunlight.D.It carries the potted plant with its hands.34.What does the writer try to show through Paragraph3?A.The way plants spend their whole lives.B.The common way people deal with plants.C.The difference between plants and humans.D.The cause of making indoor plants’helper.35.What does Sun Tianqi try to do using this technology?A.To develop gardening skills.B.To draw people’s attention to plants.C.To make plants experience move.D.To study the living conditions of plants.36.What can be the best title for the passage?A.A New Market for RobotsB.An Indoor Plants’HelperC.An Important Development in GardeningD.The Tendency of Gardening in the FutureDI’d like to share a little story with you about something that happened when I was four.I remember it clearly.Our loving family dog was nearing the end of hislife.My father picked him up and put him in a little bed we had made forhim.Our dog,my friend,whom we had cared for,bit my father when hetried to help him.How could he?Why?I couldn’t understand it.I didn’tlike him anymore.I hadn’t thought about that story for a long time but something that happened last week brought it back to me.I went to speak with a friend.When I knocked on the door,I met in an instant an angry look and a few terrible words.When the door was locked in my face,I stood there shocked,and in a rush,I was reminded of my dog bit my father20years ago or so.What brought that story back was that same feeling of someone who turns his back on you.Both stories taught me something the next day.You see,when I got up in the morning and was told my dog had died,it became clear to me that he must have been in great pain.For him to have bitten a family member,he could not have been himself.Much the same for the other story when I learned that my friend’s wife had just left him.We are all beings of our environments,our opinions and feelings.And all of those things can cause you to say and do things that can’t be understood by those who are not in the same situation with you.If you meet someone either behaving out of character or acting in a way that doesn’t seem to fit the situation,put out your hand and be patient when you think it is least possible for him to do so.You may turn around a story that has a sad ending simply by your actions.37.What is the influence of the story mentioned in Paragraph1?A.It hurt his father’s feeling deeply.B.It has puzzled*the author ever since.C.It left a deep impression*on the writer.D.It made the author dislike dogs.38.Why did the writer’s friend say terrible words to the author?A.He was used to saying terrible words to others.B.He was suffering the pain of losing his wife.C.He was unhappy by such an unexpected visit.D.They’ve argued and hated each other ever since.39.What advice does the writer want to give to us?A.Help those in need.B.Look before you leap.C.Do respect for others.D.Put yourself in others’shoes.40.How do you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph？▲(请用约40词回答)四、词汇运用（每小题1分，共15分）A.用方框中所给单词的适当形式填空。

The answer is surprising． It's not the air we breathe every minute, nor the water we drink every hour; it's the people who we relate to every day． Every day we have connections with a lot of people in different situations． Some bring us happiness and provide us with lovingsupport． Others bring us down and make us feel worthless．I have no doubt that one of the main keys to success is the people we know． It's nice to have people in your life who encourage you to better yourself, and who support you in your effort to make yourself a better person． People whose hearts are big enough to be happy for your success, rather than those who are so proud that they always want to compete with you for success． People who see the potential （潜力） in you, even when you can't see it in yourself． These are the people who you should have on your team and in your life．So if you really long for success, look back at the people who come in and out of your life． Are most of the people you know supportive or unsupportive?

People around you could shape you．D. Influence of natural environment．Since 2005, office workers in Japan have been allowed to wear T-shirts and shorts to work, instead of business suits and ties. Why? The answer is simple. The government is trying to reduce the use of air conditioners.Although air conditioners make our lives easier in hot weather, they can be bad for the environment. The coolers use a great deal of electricity to function and add to the effects of global warming.But it is a vicious (恶性的) cycle. As temperatures rise, there will be more need for air conditioning.Pawel Wargocki, an expert at the Technical University of Denmark, told The New York Times: “The air conditioning causes a huge problem to global climate and energy use.” He added, “More and more air conditioners are used. It’s very dangerous.”We can’t live with air conditioning. But the thing is, we can’t live without it either. Scientific studies have shown that if indoor temperatures are high in hot weather, people will suffer from certain health problems and have a lower productivity.For example, when air conditioners were turned down in Japanese offices, the room temperature rose to 28 or higher. As a result, workers started getting headaches, and feeling sleepy.They couldn’t give all their attention to work and their productivity dropped by 2 percent, which means they did 30 minutes less work each day, according to Shinichi Tanabe, a professor of architecture at Waseda University in Tokyo, Japan.So the best way to balance our comfort with environmental awareness is to change our expectations. Most of the time, it’s not that the room is too hot, but that we are used to itbeing cooler.“The temperature many Americans find most comfortable indoors in summer —21C—feels uncomfortable to most Europeans, who find it too cold.” said Michael Sivak, professor at a University of Michigan, US. He said it is because Europeans care more about the environment and are willing to accept a bit more heat in summer.Also, we can try to change our daily behavior. Open the windows to let air in, for example. Turning on the air conditioner is not the only way to make us feel comfortable.（1）What did the Japanese government do to reduce the use of air conditioners?A.To allow the workers to wear T-shirts to work.B.To stop the workers from using air conditioners.C.To let people accept a bit more heat in summer.D.To ask people to open windows to let air in.（2）The writer probably agrees that ________.A.most people will be sick without air conditionersB.global warming is mainly caused by air conditionersC.people have to be used to living without air conditionersD.we should change our expectations to protect environment（3）We can learn from the passage that ________.A.Japanese office workers are less productive in summerB.Americans care less about environment than EuropeansC.People in Denmark believe air conditioners are dangerousD.Europeans accept a bit cooler than Americans in summer（4）Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A.Protect Environment: Is it time to change business suits?B.Protect Environment: Is it time to focus on temperature?C.Protect Environment: Shall we change our expectations?D.Protect Environment: Shall we stop using air conditioners?During this age of technology, life moves fast and people only focus on what comes next, rather than living in the present． Often their daydreaming is centered on the "next" rather than the "now．"Technology is all about what's next﹣the next innovation （创新）, the next platform or the next device． This is most obvious with the iPhone． The iPhone X has just released, but businessmen and customers are already thinking about the next, newest iPhone． I am already counting the days until I can upgrade my iPhone．Throughout my adolescence （青春期）, almost every single one of my peers have been too wrapped up with the next "great" thing and put too much stress on themselves while losing sense of what is going on now or what they have achieved; it drives me totally crazy． Upon entering high school, I was excited to spend the next four years with my closest friends． Sadly, once I hit my sophomore year （高二）, I began to worry about getting into a good college and what I needed to do for that to happen． By concentrating onwhat's next, I seem to be missing what's great about high school．Most students in high school look at education as a means to an end; something that will set them up for the next step． Due to this, they pay close attention to the teacher in class, not to enrich their knowledge, but to score high on the test, making them stronger candidates （候选人） for college． What is even more annoying is that universities are now forcing high school students to have a clear idea of what they want to do in life． Most colleges have specialized schools, such as business, nursing and education; in most cases, it is very difficult to switch out of or into one of the specialized schools． Therefore, high schoolers do actually have to focus on what's next．When I go to college, all I am thinking about is still what comes next; that is, how to land a great job out of college． Everyone around seems to be like me． Actually, I truly hope that people who are in this very similar situation can figure out a way to make the "now" as important, if not more important, than the "next" in life．Taking all of this into consideration, the concept of what comes next is far too ingrained （根深蒂固的）into important things of life, such as technology and education．If people keep racing from one thing to the next, life will pass them by and in a hurry; no one will be able to look back on what they have experienced or achieved, because life will have become a blur （模糊）．（1）The writer mentions the iPhone in Paragraph 2 to show that________．A. the newest iPhone is always the bestB. young customers like new technologyC. the iPhone X attracts the most attentionD. technology is all about what comes next．（2）What can we learn from the passage？________A. High schoolers are forced to have clear ideas about their future jobs．B. Few students pay close attention to the teacher to score high on tests．C. Thinking too much about the present gives students too much pressure．D. Different activities make the students stronger candidates for the college．．（3）The writer probably agrees that________．A. students now care too much about unimportant things in lifeB. future achievements depend on your plan in your high schoolC. college education usually makes a great difference to most of the peopleD. people should live in the "now" rather than only look ahead to the "next"．（4）Which of the following would he the best title for the passage？________A. Future， in Our EyesB. Now， in a World of NextC. Past， Now and FutureD. Technology， a Key to Future．四、根据中/英文提示填空Mother looks so young that people often________（someone is wrongly thought to be someone else）her for my sister.They ________(期待） we will be able to finish the work in three months.Don't worry!

For years, scientists said "no", or "we don't know". But today this is changing. Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are astronomers. They believe intelligent life exists somewhere in the universe. They also think we will soon contact these beings（人；生物）.Why do Shostak and Barnett think intelligent life exists on other planets? The first reason is time. Scientists believe the universe is about 12 billion years old. "This is long enough for other planets to have intelligent life," say Shostak and Barnett. The second reason is size—the universe is huge."Tools like the Hubble Telescope（哈勃望远镜）have shown that there are at least 100 billion galaxies," says Shostak. "And our galaxy, the Milky Way, has at least 100 billion stars. Some planets going around these stars might be similar to Earth."In the past, it was hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe. But now, powerful telescopes allow scientists to discover smaller planets—the size of Mars or Earth—in other solar systems. These planets might have intelligent life.Have beings from space already visited Earth? "Probably not," says Shostak. "It's a long way away. However, intelligent beings may contact us in other way, such as radio signals（信号）. In fact, they may be trying to communicate with us now, but we don't have the right tools to receive their messages. However, this is changing. By 2025, we could make contact withother life forms in our universe and we might help each other."（1）Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are ______.A.astronomersB.farmersC.singers（2）What is the best title for Paragraph 2?A.The Age and Size of EarthB.Our Galaxy: The Milky WayC.Why Intelligent Life Might Exist（3）Why was it hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe in the past?A.There were not any smaller planets.B.There were not any powerful telescopes.C.The astronomers were not interested in them.（4）Why haven't beings from space visited us yet according to Shostak?A.They're afraid of us.B.It's a long way away.C.They don't know how to use radlo signals.（5）What does the underlined phrase"life forms"in the last paragraph mean?A.Messages.B.Intelligent beings.C.Radio signals.参考答案与试题解析江苏省南通市某校2021-2022学年九年级上学期开学考试英语试题一、单选题1.【答案】D【考点】固定搭配不定冠词形容词的比较级和最高级【解析】此题暂无解析【解答】句意：《流浪世界》是一部125分钟的科幻电影，受到了全世界的高度评价。

A child learns to walk by practicing until he no longerhas to think about how to put one foot in front of the other. An excellent sportsmanpractices until he can play quickly, correctly and without thinking. Educators callit “automaticity “.A child learns to read by sounding out the lettersand finding the meaning of the words. With practice, he stumbles less and less, reading bythe phrase. With automaticity, he doesn’t have to think about the meaning of words,so he can give all his attention to the meaning of the text.It can begin as early as the first grade. In arecent study of children in Illinois schools, Alan Rossman of Northwestern Universityfound that automatic readers in the first grade not only read almost three timesas fast as the others, but also got better results in exams.According to Rossman, the key to automaticity isthe amountof time a child spends reading, not hisIQ. Any child who spends at least 3.5 to 4 hours a week reading books, magazinesor newspapers will probably reach automaticity. It can happen if a child turns offTV just one night for reading at home.You can test yourself by reading something newwhich is suitable for your level. If you read aloud with expression, with a senseof the meaning of the sentences, you probably are an automatic reader. If you readbrokenly, one word at a time, without expression or meaning, you need more practice.（1）”Reading is the key to school success” means that reading______.A . helps school develop fasterB . is a key to a successful schoolC . helpsstudents go to a key schoolD . can improve students’ learning results （2）Children with “automaticity” can read f aster because they______.A . know how to read the wordsB . do not have to think while readingC . read by themselves without any helpD . pay attention to the meaning of the text（3）The underlined word “stumble” in the passage means “______” in Chinese.A . 结结巴巴地读B . 全神贯注地读C . 心不在焉地读D . 声情并茂地读（4）The best title for the passage is “______”.A .

You may have noticedthat I have a line of apple trees running along the fence（栅栏）that separates our two gardens.

And you may also have noticed that my apple trees bend over thefence and seem to look down at your children with interest. It is onlynatural that your children should sometimes seem to return that interest. Andit is quite legal（合法的）for them to show that interest bypicking all the apples that hang over on your side of the fence. But to tellyou the truth, Mr Scott, I am tired of seeingyour children, day after day,destroy the branches of every one of my apple trees.

I know this too is the work of your children,since last night I was woken at midnight by the noise they were making whenclimbing one of my trees, and I drove them away.Yourssincerely,BeckyAldrin（1）What is this?A .
