北京市海淀区2017届九年级上期中复习(6)B篇练习10篇

B—1Reading is a good habit, but the problem is, there's too much to read these days, and too little time to read every word of it. There are hundreds of skills to help you read more in less time. Here are two skills that I think are especially good.Preview-----if it's long and hard. Previewing is especially useful for getting a general idea of heavy reading like long magazine articles and business reports.Here's how to preview.●Read the first two paragraphs and the last two paragraphs carefully.●Then read only the first sentence of the other paragraphs.Previewing doesn't give you all the details. It keeps you from spending time on things you don't really want--or need--to read.Skim-----if it's short and simple. Skimming is a good way to get a general idea of light reading like popular magazines or the sports and entertainment of your daily paper.Here's how to skim.●Get your eyes to move fast. Sweep them across each line.●Pi ck up only a few key words in each line.Everybody skims differently. You and I may not pick up the same words when we skim the same piece, but we'll get a similar idea of what it's all about.51. How many skills are mentioned in this passage?A. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.52. What should we NOT do when we read sports news in a daily paper according to the passage?A. Read the last two paragraphs carefully.B. Get our eyes to move fast.C. Sweep our eyes across each line.D. Pick up only a few key words in each line.53. What is the best title for this passage?A. How to read fasterB. What to readC. When to readD. Why we should read51. B 52. A 53. AB —2Yesterday my son ,daughter and I went to the grocery store. In front of us in line was a little girl with her mother. The little girl was asking her mother for a box of Smarties. The polite way she was asking almost broke the mother’s heart, “I’m sorry, Honey, but we have no money to buy it.”My son was watching that dialogue. By the way, he had been raking(用耙子耙)leaves in our garden to raise himself some money to buy a bike. As he watched the mother and daughter leave the store, he ran to the candy counter（柜台）and bought a box of Smarties with his money.He turned to look at me and I just nodded. He ran out after the little girl and her mother, and he gave them the box. He came back and told me what he told them, “Every kid should have a pack of Smarties because they can make you smart.”I was so excited that I bought a pack of Smarties for my son. I told him that I was proud of him, and that was for his act of generosity（慷慨）because he gave his own Smarties to others. Quickly, he replied, “But you do nice things for people and you never get anything for it.” I explained , “ when you do something nice for someone ,you shouldn’t expect to get anything ,but when you do get something you should be very thankful.”51.

CB—3From Nobody to SomebodyBrian was a funny student. He loved watching comedies (喜剧) best and hoped to become acomedy actor one day.When he heard about the talent show to be held at his school, Briandecided to take part in. He had never acted on stage (舞台) before, and hewas very excited. But some students laughed at him. “You are not funny butsilly,” Ken, one of his classmates, said to his face. “No one will like what you do,” another boy also said to him, loudly.Brian couldn’t understand why they were so unkind to him. For a moment, he thought about giving up the show. But he remembered how much his friends liked his jokes, and also his teachers said he was very funny. So he decided to prepare for the show.Brian did a great job at the talent show. Everyone loved his performance, and he won the first prize! His teachers and friends were proud of him. Even so, Ken told Brian that he was not funny, and that he would never be successful. Brian didn’t understand why Ken said so, but he realized that it had nothing to do with him. He confidently continued to work towards his goal.As the years went on, Brian met more people like Ken. “You’ll do a terrible job,” they said to him. Luckily, most people encouraged him and some helped him to become even funnier. He got a lot of opportunities to perform in movies. He was even invited to appear on television.

When I bought it, I wastold it would bloom（开花）and the sweet smell would fill my office.I had the plant for two months, and every day I looked at it, but thereweren't any flowers or pleasant smell. I was not happy, so I gave theplant to my friend Linda.One day, another friend Mary called and invited me to her office. When I walked in, her jasmine flowers surprised me. I reached out to touch the flowers. Mary cut some and gave them to me. I couldn't help smelling them. Surrounded by the sweet smell of only a handful of these flowers, I suddenly understood something.Mary bought her plant the same time I did. It took a year for her jasmine to bloom. I was so impatient for mine to bloom; regretfully, I gave it away.In a way my life is like the jasmine plant. I need to be patient and let things happen.Last Sunday Linda told me that she was going abroad the next week. Before she left, she returned the plant to me. This time I am going to wait.

Well, to tell you the truth, it is really an eye-open experience to study here. In China, I had English classes five times a week since Grade Five. However, I didn’t know how different textbook English could be from everyday English until I came t o Hotchkiss School, Connecticut. When I first studied English, I was told to say, “I’m fine.” when people say “How are you?” but in the US, I found that people say, “I’m good.” or “I’m tired.” One day, someone greeted me with “What’s up?” It made me confused. I thought for a moment and then smiled because I didn’t know what to say. Since then, I have discovered more and more differences between Chinese and US cultures. I was surprised by how hardworking US students are. In China, schoolwork is almost everyt hing, so we study hard and that’s it. But here, a “good’ student gets good grades, does a lot for the public and plays sports or music. The kids here are so clever, I am starting to feel sorry that I gave up playing the piano at an early age and that I have never thought about sports.52. The writer went to America to ____.A. visit an English classB. study in a schoolC. feel American cultureD. learn to play the piano53.

I think it is easy to make yourown 3D glasses instead of buying them.There are two ways to make 3D glasses. You can decide which way would be easier for you.The first way seems like the cheaper way but the things needed to make the glasses this way may not be things laying around the house. First print out a template (模板) for the glasses at /PDF_files/3dglasses.pdf.After you cut out the template, cut your cellophane (玻璃纸) to fit the holes in the glasses. Make sure you place the red cellophane on the left eye and the blue on the right. You can either stick or tape the cellophane in place. You are now ready to use your glasses.To learn more about why your eyes see different colors, read this article: /sterea/anaglyphs.htm#redcyan.To learn some more cool things about your eyes, check out the games at this link: /chudler/chvision.html.Another way you can make 3D glasses is to find an old pair of sunglasses. Take out the lenses (镜片). Get a piece of clear plastic and place the lenses on it,draw a line around the lens and then cut the new plastic lens out. Place the lens back into the sunglasses frame (框). Color the left lens red with a marker and the right eye blue. You now are ready to watch 3D films.36.When do we need to use 3D glasses?A. When the sun is bright.B. When we cook dinner.C. When we make things.D. When we see some films.37.If we want to know why our eyes see different colors, we can find the information at _______.A. /PDF_files/3dglasses.pdfB. /sterea/anaglyphs.htm#redcyanC. /chudler/chvision.htmlD. /tresearch/XCindex/index.js38.What does the writer think of making our own 3D glasses?A. Easy.B. Hard.C. Interesting.D. Boring.52 — 54 DBAB—7Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true.Communication is a problem for parents an d children of all ages. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here are some advice f or you to bridge the generation gap (代沟).●Don’t argue (争辩) with your parents.Don’t get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.●Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.●Talk about your values.The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!52. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you _______.A. don’t get to them oftenB. write a letter to themC. do n’t speak to them politelyD. express yourself well53.

One day he put the small box to a flowering plant that was growing in a big pot. He didn’t say anything at a ll, but he began to think something bad about the flowers.“I’m going to cut off these flowers. They’re getting old and no longer beautiful. So I’ll cut them off…”The needle（指针）on the machine climbed quickly from zero to 8, then 10, 12, 15. It stopped at 17. The plant was in trouble! Something was worrying it. Was it afraid or sad? The thought of being cut? The flowers bent（弯下）their heads. They suddenly looked old and tired, and Tom felt sorry for them.“No, no!” he cried. “I won’t cut you. You’re my frien ds. I just want you grow and be more beautiful. I’ll take you outside, into the sunshine. You’ll like that, won’t you?”The flowers raised their heads slowly and seemed to smile at him. The needle returned to zero. Tom put away the machine, picked up the plant and walked outside. It was very nice in the garden that morning.All plants enjoy their owner’s love and kindness. They know the sound of their voice. They also seem to understand people’s thinking. So if you have flowers of your own, think about them with love. They will return your kindness in the only way they can: they will grow strong and beautiful.1.

According to the education experts and students themselves, here are the secrets of top students.Study is the first thing. Once the books are open or the computer is on, phone calls are unanswered, TV shows unwatched, snacks unnoticed. Study is business; business comes before everything.Study anywhere or everywhere. Study times are different for different children. Some work late at night when the house is quiet. Others wake early. Still others study as soon as they come home from school. However, all agree that consistency (持之以恒) is needed.Get organized. Don’t waste time looking fo r a pencil or missing paper. Keep everything right where one can put one’s hands on it. Even for a student who doesn’t keep his own study area organized, a bag or a drawer is needed to put things in to save time.Learn how to read. The secret of good reading is to be an active reader—one who continually asks questions that lead to a full understanding of the writer’s message.Use your time best. Even the best students put off their work sometimes. But when that happens, they face it. “If you want to be at the top, make sure to finish the work on time.” says Christi Anderson, a top student at Lyman High School.Take good notes and use them. Reading the text is important, but the teacher is going to test you on what he or she emphasized (强调). That’s what you find in your notes.Another kind of important “secret” of the top students is not so secret at all. For almost all of them, their pa rents’ help is important.34. According to the third paragraph, as students, we should all .A. study late into nightB. study in the early morningC. study as soon as we get homeD. study in our favorite time with consistency35.

Which of the following is true about an active reader?A. Take good notes.B. Ask questions continually.C. Study everywhere.D. Arrange time well.37. According to the writer, the real secret in becoming a top student lies in .A. the good teachersB. the good education expertsC. some basic learning skillsD. the parents’ helpDCBCToday, bicycles are elegantly simple machines that are common around the world. Many people ride bicycles for recreation, whereas others use them as a means of transportation. The first bicycle was invented in Germany in 1818. Because it was made of wood, it wasn’t very strong nor did it have pedals (脚踏板）.Riders moved it by pushing their feet against the ground.In 1839, Kirkpatrick Macmillan, a Scottish blacksmith, invented a much better bicycle. Macmillan’s machine had iron-covered wheels to keep them from getting worn down. He also used foot-operated levers, similar to pedals, so his bicycle could be ridden at a quick pace. It didn’t look much like the modem bicycle, though, because its back wheel was substantially larger than its front wheel. Although Macmillan’s bicycles could be ridden easily, they were never produced in large numbers.In 1861, Frenchman Pierre Michaux and his brother Ernest invented a bicycle with an improved pedal mechanism. They called their bicycle a VELOCIPEDE，but most people called it a “bone shaker” because of the effect of the wood and iron frame. Despite the impolite nickname, the VELOCIPEDE was a hit. After a few years, the Michaux family was making hundreds of the machines annually, mostly for fun-seeking young people.Ten years later, James Starley , an English inventor, made several innovations that revolutionized bicycle design. He made the front wheel many times larger than the back wheel, put a gear on the pedals to make the bicycle more efficient，and lightened the wheels by using wire spokes. Although this bicycle was much lighter and less tiring to ride, it was still clumsy, extremely top-heavy，and ridden mostly for entertainment.It wasn’t until 1874 that the first truly modern bicycle appeared on the scene. Invented by another Englishman, H. J. Lawson, the safety bicycle would look familiar to today’s cyclists. The safety bicycle had equal-sized wheels, which made it easier to ride. Lawson also attached a chain to the pedals to drive the back wheel. By 1893，the safety bicycle had been further improved with air-filled rubber tires, a diamond-shaped frame, and easy braking. With the improvements provided by Lawson; bicycles became extremely popular and useful for transportation. Today, they are built, used, and enjoyed all over the world.31.This passage was most likely written in order to _____.A. compare bicycles used for different purposesB. describe the problems early bicycle makers experiencedC. persuade readers to use bicycles for transportationD. tell readers about the early history of the bicycle32.Macmillan covered the wheels of his bicycle with iron to _____A. add weight to the bicycleB．make the bicycle easier to rideC. allow the wheels to last longerD. let the bicycle be more comfortable33. Which of the following bicycle types was invented by James Starley?34 Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Two hundred years ago，bicycles did not exist.B. The first bicycle could be ridden at a very quick pace.C. The Michaux brothers called their bicy cle a “bone shaker”.D. Macmillan’s machine had wheels with rubber tires.35.The information about bicycles in this passage is arranged according to _____.A. importanceB. timeC. placeD. interest DCBAB。
