Samuel Morse and I, Alfred Vail, sat in our workshop. We were studying how to turn dots (●) and dashes (—) into a message.Morse’s first idea was to tap out numbers-one tap for “1”, a long tap and two short ones for “12”, and so on. Then he made a big list of words and gave their numbers—“342”meant “train” and so on. But I wasn’t so sure this was the best way. His word book was huge. It would take hours to look up codes (代码). Too slow!“Why couldn’t the dots and dashes stand for letters instead?” I shared my better idea.“How could that work?” Morse asked.“Well, for example, two dots could be ‘D’ instead of ‘2’. There are only 26 letters—why not give each one a dot-and-dash code? That way, words could be tapped out directly, letter by letter. Imagine the time saved!”Morse snorted (哼了一声), really unhappy after all of his work on the word list. Just to try it, I wrote down the letters and gave each letter a tap code. Then I tapped out a message, and Morse deciphered (破译) it. Quickly!He read out my message: “To tell the truth, I think this saves much time.” He nodded. “Yes, I see your point. Not bad.”But I’d noticed something else about our code. “That message had a lot of T’s,” I said. “The code for a T is dash-dash dot…I’ll bet I could have done that even faster if T didn’t take so long to tap.”Ten minutes later I was in the local newspaper office. With the help of a printer, I wassoon back with a list of letters in order of how often they are used in English.“Let it be so! It makes good sense to use the shortest codes for the most common letters.I see E is the favourite, so a single dot for E and a dash for T. To start, a dot-dash for A．” Morse said, patting me heartily on the back. “You impress me! Vail, you’re a genius (天才). ”I smiled. I wouldn’t say so out loud, but I had to agree with him.31．In Morse Code, the word “TEA” should be ________.A．— ● ● —B．● ● — —C．● — — ●D．● — ● —32．From the story, we can learn that Vail was ________.A．practical and loyal B．organized but proudC．confident and creative D．careful but doubtful33．Which can be the best title for the story?A．The Father of Morse Code B．The Small Secret of Morse CodeC．Always Follow Your Dreams D．Two Heads Are Better than OneThe British are famous for lots of things: Shakespeare, tea, Big Ben, the changeable weather and poor dancing skills. But when it comes to food, one of their most famous dishes is, without doubt, fish and chips.The best place to go for your fish and chips is a fish and chips shop. The people who work there are often the owners of the shops, usually a husband and a wife, with part-time help from others. One of the most famous fish and chips shops is Harry Ramsden ‘s, which is based in the north of England.Ordering fish and chips can be difficult for a tourist in Britain. For a start, you’ll probably be in an area of Britain that has few tourists, with locals who are not used to speaking to foreigners. Just smile politely and say,“A portion of fish and chips to take away, please. “ When you see them with a vinegar（醋）bottle, quickly shout “Just a bit, please”. So they don’t drown（浸泡）your chips in vinegar. If you see them wrapping（包裹）your fish and chips in newspaper, don’t be surprised. It’s nothing special.So, why are fish and chips so popular in Britain? People have been trying to answer this question for a long time. After all, fish and chips are eaten by everyone in Britain, from ladiesin fur coats to workers in blue overalls. Some say it’s the smell of delicious fried fish and potatoes. Others say it’s the taste — the mix of fried fish, fried potatoes, vinegar and salt. Some say it’s the comforting feeling that you get from carrying that bag of warm food home on a cold winter day. And others say it’s simply because a meal of fish and chips offers the most useful way of filling you up for such little money.The strange thing about fish and chips is that the British in general don’t like seafood. For them, it’s something alien. They don’t like its shape （too many heads and eyes）, its smell （too fishy）, all the bones （too difficult to eat）and the funny-looking arms and legs （too strange）. This probably explains why fried fish is so popular. Since the fish has been covered in batter （面糊）and fried, it looks nothing like anything that ever lived in the sea. So, are you having some fish and chips?34．In Britain, owners of fish and chips shops usually ________.A．put no salt on the chips B．wrap the food in newspaperC．chat with foreign travelers D．add a little vinegar to the chips 35．What can we learn from the passage?A．Fish and chips in Britain are a strange thing in general.B．A meal of fish and chips is a little bit expensive in Britain.C．Fish and chips are more than a light snack to British people.D．Harry Ramsden’s is popular in Britain except in the north of England.36．The writing style of this passage is a bit ________.A．serious B．old-fashioned C．romantic D．relaxed 37．What can most possibly be the writer’s purpose?A．To recommend famous fish and chips shops in Britain.B．To look back on the history of fish and chips in Britain.C．To introduce fish and chips to foreign tourists in Britain.D．To discuss what makes fish and chips popular in Britain.四、根据汉语提示填空40．Never （误认为）knowledge for wisdom. One helps you make a living, the other helps you make a life.41．Many of my classmates are interested in （传统的）Chinese culture, especially Wuxi Opera in our hometown.五、用所给单词的正确形式填空六、阅读填表先通读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容，在文章后表格的空格内填入一个最恰当的单词。

As I 5 older, I remembered my father and I listened to many basketball games on the radio. I always fell asleep 6 the game was over. When I woke up in the morning, the score sheet (计分表) with the 7 score on it would be lying ne xt to me. I’ll always remember that.On cold mornings my father would drive his bread truck by the house. I used to ride on the floor of that bread truck as he delivered (分送) the bread to the stores. The 8 and the warmth from the bread made me hungry a nd kept me warm. I’ll always remember that.My father would attend all my games. One night before an important game my father told me 9 that he wouldn’t be able to watch the game because he had to deliver the bread and it was a three-hour 10 from his route. The next day as the game time drew near, I thought about my dad. I happened to look across the field and 11 saw his bread truck pulling into the stadium. He tried to make the game. I’ll always remember that.Years later I became a teacher. I’ll never forget the voice on the phone early one morningtelling me dad had just been killed in a traffic accident. I could hear my heart beat in my ears.I 12 up the phone and went back to my bedroom. After that nothing was very important to me. One day I was on the playground when a little boy walked up to me and grabbed my hand. His hand held mine the 13 way I used to hold my father’s by the last two fingers. At that moment I found my 14 in life again. You see even though my father was gone, he left something with me. He left me his smile, spirit and touch. My purpose was to use those gifts as he did.

She stood up and smiled, without making any sound. The American teacher looked at himself and didn’t see anything funny. So he asked her the question again. The girl just smiled but said nothing. Theteacher was angry. He didn’t know that the girl smiled to cover her embarrassment（尴尬）because she wasn’t able to answer the question.In a dining room in Beijing, an Englishman was careless and dropped a plate. The Chinese who had seen this began to laugh. The Englishman felt uncomfortable and even got angry. “They are laughing at me,” he thought. In fact the Chinese laughed not at the Englishman or his bad luck—whether he is a foreigner or a Chinese. The smile or laughter has several feelings: don’t take it so seriously; laugh it off, it’s nothing; such things can happen to any of us.15．The Chinese girl smiled in an American classroom because ________________.

Almost half of our energy comes from oil. We use it to run our cars and factories and to heat our homes, offices and schools. Many everyday things are made from oil. Your shirt may have oil in the material. The soap you wash your hands with might also be made from oil. Your favorite plastic toy is made from oil.Oil is hard to find, because it is trapped deep under the earth. Once the only way people knew there was oil someplace if it leaked（渗漏）out of the ground. Today, however, we have many ways of finding oil. One tool measures（测量）the pull of gravity. Places where gravity is weaker are more likely to have oil. Another tool is sound waves（声波）. Sound waves travel through different kinds of rocks at different speeds. We can use them to find the rocks that have oil in them.We need a lot of oil, and we are using up the oil wells we know about. Soon we must findnew ways of looking for this “black gold”.18．Which of the following isn’t the way to help find oil?A．Sound waves travel through different kinds of rocks at different speeds.B．People measure the pull of gravity to know if there is oil.C．Sound waves tell us where the oil has leaked out of the ground.D．People know there is oil if it leaks out of the ground.19．Which of the following does the passage lead you to believe?A．Oil was firstly found by measuring gravity.B．Many things are made from oil.C．We will never run out of oil.D．Our lives would not be different if we didn’t have oil.20．The main idea of the whole story is that ________________.A．many things are made from oilB．we must find new ways of looking for oilC．people spend a lot of time looking for oilD．oil is important for us but hard to findLong long ago, there lived two girls named Emily and Tina. Both of them had long black hair and blue eyes. One day while they were playing in the back yard (庭院), Emily heard a tinkling (叮当) sound. She jumped up. “Listen,” she told her twin. They listened. The noise came again.This time Tina heard it. She sat up. “It came from over there,” She whispered, looking at the zinnias (鱼尾菊) far away. They came near to find it out. Then something flew out, making the same tinkling sound they had heard before. The children looked at one another. “Was it a bee?” asked Tina. “I don’t think so,” replied Emily. “Do bees make a sound like bells?” “Let’s call it the Tinkle Bee anyway,” said Tina. Emily nodded, listening with a little difficulty. What had made that noise?The next day, Emily and Tina brought their cookies outside. Tina took her plate by the zinnias. Suddenly she caught something. “Emily!” she called. “I’ve got the Tinkle Bee!” Emily rushed over. They sat down on the grass. Tina opened her hand very carefully. There was that sound! Something was shining in Tina’s hand. They smiled. Then Emily cried, “It’s a fairy (仙女)!” Tina looked down at it in her hand. It looked like a girl. Atinygirl with wings! Tina dropped itbefore she noticed that a wing was torn (撕裂). The little fairy could not fly away so she took a piece of grass out of the ground and sat on it.Emily and Tina were surprised at what they saw. The fairy turned to Emily and said, “Hello, I am Marabella.” Then she said again, “Marabella the Fairy.” Emily smiled. “I’m Emily,” she said. Tina said, “I’m Tina. Are you really a fairy?” “Oh, yes!” replied Marabella. “I’ve always been a fairy.”21．Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “tiny” in this passage?A．Weak. B．Nice.

D．Sick. 22．How did the sound come out?A．A bee behind the zinnias made the sound.B．It came out from the fairy’s flying.C．It came out when the fairy shouted for help.D．The bell by the zinnias rang.23．What does the passage mainly tell us?A．Emily and Tina found a tinkling sound when they were playing in the yard.B．Emily and Tina were very interested in the tinkling sound.C．How a fairy by the zinnias was saved by the twins.D．The process of Emily and Tina’s finding a fairy.Astronauts, people who fly into space, need special training. First they go to Houston, Texas. That is the home of the Johnson Space Centre. There they are tested to see how strong and smart they are.One of the first tests is for the heart. The people walk or run, then the space doctors see how fast their hearts are beating.Another important test is performed. In this test the person must curl（蜷曲）his body up in a ball. When he is in that position, he is put into a round cloth bag. The doctors give him no idea how long he will have to stay in the bag. If a spaceship broke down in space, the astronauts would get into bags like this. Then they would have to wait and curl up in darkness, until help could arrive. You can see that an astronaut must not be afraid of tight space or darkness.After the tests, only the best people are chosen to start astronaut training in a training centre.The astronauts in training learn many other things. They learn how to jump out of a moving airplane. They learn to how to blow up a lifeboat and get into it while they are in the ocean. The astronauts also have to learn how to get lifted out of the ocean by helicopter（直升机）. That may look fun, but it can be dangerous.After they finish training, the astronauts continue to work. They stay in good shape by running and doing exercise. They read about their special jobs. In that way they can learn new facts about space travel.Then the big day comes. The astronaut is told to go to work on a flight into space. The crew members（全体船员）get to know each other first. Then they can learn which job each will do. 24．The astronauts don’t know how long they will stay in the bag in the test because________________.A．the doctors need to know how strong they areB．the astronauts need to show how smart they areC．good astronauts mustn’t be afraid of darkness o r tight spaceD．nobody knows when help will come if the spaceship breaks down25．The astronauts don’t learn how to ________________ in the training centre.A．walk or run in space B．jump out of the moving plane C．blow up a lifeboat D．get lifted out of water by helicopter 26．Which is the correct order according to the passage?a. Doctors do tests on the astronauts.b. The astronauts go to the Space Centre.c. The astronauts learn new facts about space travel.d. The best people are chosen for training.e. The astronauts go to work on a flight into space.A．a, b, c, d, e B．d, a, e, b, c C．b, a, d, c, e D．c, d, e, b, a 27．Which of the following is NOT true?A．After the tests, only the best people are chosen to start astronaut training in a training centre.B．The crew members get to know each other after the tests.C．One of the first tests is for the heart.D．An astronaut must not be afraid of tight space or darkness.四、根据句意填空根据句意和汉语注释，写出单词的正确形式。

The Qilian Mountains isn’t long but high.BWhen you buy fresh-cut flowers, do you think about where they came from? You might think they were grown somewhere nearby. The reality, though, is that the cut flower trade is increasingly International. Today, tahnks to airplanes and high-tech cooling systems, even the most delicate flower could be exported and sold thousands of kilometres away from where it was grown.The Netherlands handles about 60 percent of the world’s cut flowers. And its auction houses (拍卖行) are very large-Aalsmeer, near Amsterdam, is auction house in the sennse that Tokyo is a city, or Everest a mountain. About 120 soccer fields would fill its main building. Nineteen million flowers are sold here on an average day.The Netherlands is also a world leader in developing new flower varieties. Dutch companies and the government invest a great amount of money in flower research. Their scientists look for ways to lengthen a flower’s vase life, to strengthen flowers to prevent them from being damaged while travelling, and also to strengthen the natural fragrance of the flowers.There are also many other places with a better climate for growing flowers, and the climate of Ecuador is almost perfect. With predictable rainy periods and 12 hours of sunlight each day. Ecuador’s roses are famous for their large heads and long, straight stems (茎). Every year, Ecuador sells about 500 million flowers to the U.S. alone. The industry has brought employment opportunities and a stronger economy to the country. “My family has TV now. There are radios.”says Yolanda Quishpe, 20, who picked roses for four years.To others, the increasingly International nature of the flower trade is very bad news. In recent years local growers in the U.S. faced huge competition from international flower companies, and many lost their businesses. Lina Hale, an independent rose grower said her father had predicted the situation in the 1980s. “I see a train coming down the track,” he warned her, “and it’s coming straight towards us.”49.

How to keep flowers fresh during transportation.51. What does the author want to show through Yolanda Quishpe’s words?A. Flowers from Ecuador are beautiful.B. The flower trade in Ecuador does good to the local.C. Ecuador could grow even more flowers.D. Rose-picking is a very popular job in Ecuador.52. What Lina Hale’s father said suggested that _____.A. he thought trains were a new way to deliver flowers.B. he was excited to see the train.C. he was sure customers wouldn’t want flowersD. he knew his business would be influencedCA new way of education that integrates (融合) online and offlines learning has become a “new common”in basic education, as technology is quickly changing and updating the future form of schools worldwide.“Classes that are digitalized(数字化) and integrated are playing an increasingly important role in the field of education, which also suggests the integrated teaching model is quickly becoming a new type,” said Gao Han, vice-president of ClassIn Interactive Class.Gao said that during the COVID-19 pandemic, the basic education area just moved from offline to online, where ClassIn has helped to reproduce offline scenes to online as much as possible.“But a more important purpose is that we can make use of our new technologies to develop students’ ability to solve different problems in the future,” Gao noted.Gao shared the opinions during the 2020 Future School Ecology Conference, where EEO, the parent company of ClassIn, announced that it worked together with Beijing 101 Middle School to donate a ClassIn X smart classroom to Liangshan Minzu Middle School in Southwest China’s Sichuan province.Set up in 2014, EEO’s ClassIn is the world’s first online interactive classroom product.During the COVID-19 outbreak this year, ClassIn has helped over 10,000 offline education organizations to move from offline to online.___①The company has started the ClassIn X smart classroom recently, which hopes to provide simple but powerful online and offline integrated teaching solutions to the education area.②According to Xiong Yongchang, head of Beijing 101 Middle School, there are barriers(障碍) for social resources to enter schools.③“With the integrated mode(模式), learning and teaching methods become flexible(灵活的), and the ways schools are organized also are more flexible than in the past,” Xiong said.④“It is not just about taking a class and doing homework online. It is important whether they can make the platform a common part of student life,” he added.53. The underlined word reproduce in Paragraph 3 probably means _____.A. 生产B. 重温C. 繁殖D. 重现54.

Some changes to the school learning.B. The development of the form of schools.C. The popularity of ClassIn Interactive Class.D. An introduction to a new way of education.D(an extract from a detective story) ...That evening Holmes again wore different clothes, and a large, black hat. But it was not just the clothes that were different. He changed his face, his hair—everything. He was a different man.We walked together to Serpentine Avenue. Outside the house there were a lot of people who were smoking, laughing and talking. Holmes and I walked up and down in front of the house.“You see,” said Holmes to me, “I don’t think she wants her new husband to see the photograph. But where is it? At her bank? No.Such a woman likes to keep important things themselves. I’m sure it’s in her house.”“But the King’s men tried to find it!” I said.“Yes, but they didn’t know where to look for it!” said Holmes.“But how will you know?” I asked.“She’ll show me. She’ll have to.”Just then Irene’s taxi arrived. One of the men in the street ran to open the door, than another man pushed him. Other men were also pushing and shouting, and a fight began. Irene was in the middle of it, but Sherlock Holmes ran to help her. Then suddenly he fell to the ground, with blood running down his face. Irene hurried to her front door, but she looked back. “How kind of him to help me! Is the poor man hurt?” she called.“He’s dead,” cried some voices. “No, he’s only hurt,” cried others. “Bring him into the sitting-room,”she said.Some people carried Holmes into the house. I waited outside the window and watched. I saw how beautiful Irene was. Then Holmes put up his hand, and I threw the smoke-stick into the room. Immediately the people in the street and in the house all began to shout ‘Fire!’very loudly. The house was full of smoke. I walked away, and ten minutes later Holmes came to meet me.“Well done, Watson,” he said. “Have you got me photograph?” I asked.“I know where it is. She showed me.” he answered. “But why did she show you?”“It’s easy.” he said, and laughed. “You saw all those people in the street? I paid them to help us. It wasn’t a real fight and the blood wasn’t real. When people shout ‘Fire!’, a woman runs to the most important thing in her house, her baby, her gold, or ... a photograph. Irene ran to find her photograph, which is in a cupboard in the sitting-room. I saw it. But I did not take it. Tomorrow we will go to her house with the King. We’ll go very early, before she gets up. The King himself can take the photograph from the cupboard. And then we’ll go.”57.

On Friday, at a news conference in Beijing, the spokesman said that teachers in legal (合法的) schools own teaching ability. Teachers teach different subjects and this makes them different. They also expressed the hope that the try of a PE teacher as a head teacher would be understood and accepted by more parents.That is the correct opinion. All teachers must pass exams and interviews before getting a teaching job. Different teachers are good at different subjects. Head teachers not only teach their own subjects, but also lead other teachers to work as a team and keep classes running smoothly.The school clearly feels that the PE teacher who has taught many years has the necessary ability of being a head teacher.At the news conference, the spokesman also said that more attention will be paid to PE lessons, and the subject will be given as much importance as Chinese language or math. In the examinations for high schools, the points for PE lessons will rise to be the same as the so-called main subjects like Chinese language, math, and English.It is a good move to pay more attention to PE as it is important for children’s health. However, if the policymakers(决策者) increase its points to the same as Chinese language and math, they should do so step by step in order to make parents accept it.The high school entrance examination will make those students with more potential (潜力) for higher education in the future. Thus, PE is not only important, but also basic to future health. And its importance can also be shown by increasing more PE classes in school.阅读以上信息，用恰当的单词完成下面的表格，每空一词。

Others are popular for just a short time. One such American expression is “Where’s the beef?” It is used when something is not as good as it is said to be. In the early 1980s “Where’s the beef?” was one of themost popular expressions in the United States. It seemed as if everyone was using it at the time.Beef, of course, is the meat from a cow, and food is more popular in America than a hamburger made from beef. In the 1960s a businessman named Ray began building small restaurants that sold hamburgers at a low price. Ray called this “McDonald’s”. Ray became one of the richest businessmen at last in America.Other business people watched his success. Some of them opened their own hamburger restaurants. One company(公司) called “Wendy’s” said its hamburgers were bigger than those sold by McDonald’s or anyone else. The Wendy’s Company began to use the expression “Where’s the beef?” to make people know that Wendy’s hamburgers were the biggest. The Wendy’s television advertisement(广告) showed three old women eating hamburgers. The bread that covered the meat was very big, but inside there was only a bit of meat. One of the women said she would not eat a hamburger wi th such a little piece of beef. “Where’s the beef?” she shouted in a funny way. The advertisement for Wendy’s hamburger restaurants was a success. As we said, it seemed everyone began using the expression “Where’s the beef?”1．The expression “Where’s the beef?” is used when.A．someone can’t find the beef at allB．someone isn’t satisfied with the beefC．something is better than it is said to beD．something is not as good as it is said to be2．“Where’s the beef?” was one of the most popular expressions in ________ in the early 1980s.A．Britain B．America C．India D．Australia3．The Wendy’s Company used the expression “Where’s the beef?” in order to.A．show Wendy’s hamburgers were the biggest.B．make people know where they could find the beefC．let people notice the bread that covered the meat was bigD．compare its hamburgers with those sold by McDonald’s4．This passage mainly tells us .A．two famous companies B．a rich businessmanC．a popular expression D．a television advertisementB14、Do you use emoji very often? It's said that emoji is the fastest growing language in history. Five billion emojis are sent every day just on some social media, such as Wechat and Facebook.They're appearing in some surprising places too. One court ( 法庭) judge in England used a smiley face emoji in a document ( 文件, 文献) to make it easy to explain the court's decision to children. It's not surprising that there's a day to celebrate emojis, but what do you know about its organizers, the website Emojipedia?The company Unicode actually creates the computer code that gives us emojis, but Emojipediais where you can learn exactly what each emoji means and how to use it. Most of us probably know and use the most popular emojis, like the classic smiley face, heart or the smiling face with tears of laughter. But if you want to grow your emoji vocabulary, you can use Emojipedia to find out new ways to speak emoji.Unicode adds new emojis all the time. They might take time to be shown on all platforms and phones, but you will see them immediately on Emojipedia. An important improvement to the emoji list, which had 2, 823 emojis after its 2018 update, is to make the emojis more various. The code for each emoji is the same, but different platforms, like Wechat or Facebook, design their emojis in different ways. When Emojipedia was deciding on which day to hold World Emoji Day, only Apple was using a calendar emoji with a date on, 17 July. So, they decided to celebrate World Emoji Day on 17 July too.If you want to send someone a message using emoji to celebrate World Emoji Day, Emojipedia has plenty to choose from, including six colors of raising hand emojis, five party emojis and two kinds of fireworks. You can even choose a world globe that shows the part of the world you live in. Whichever emojis you choose to celebrate, we wish you Happy World Emoji Day!1．Why did a court judge use a smiley face emoji in a document?A．To surprise children. B．To play a joke on children.C．To attract children to study the law.

In the first forty days a boy had been with him. But after forty days without a fish, the boy’s parents had told him that the old man was now salao, and ordered the boy to join another boat, which caught three good fish the first week. It made the boy sad to see the old man come in each day with his boat empty. The sail looked like the flag of failure(失败)forever.The old man was thin with deep wrinkles(皱纹)in the back of his neck. His face was terribly brown because of the strong sunlight on the sea every day and his hands had the deep scars(伤疤) from dealing with heavy fish on the lines. But none of these scars were fresh. Everything about him was old except his eyes and they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful. “Santiago,” the boy said to him as they climbed the bank from the sea.“I could go with you again. We’ve made some money.” The old man had taught the boy to fish and the boy loved him. “No,” the old man said. “You’re with a lucky boat. Stay with them.”“But remember how you went eighty—four days without fish and then we caught big ones every day for three weeks. ”“I remember,” the old man said. “It was papa who made me leave. I am a boy and I must follow him.”“I know,”the old man said. “It is quite normal(正常的).”“He hasn’t much faith(信心).”“No,” the old man said. “But we have.Haven’t we?”“Yes,” the boy said. “Can I offer you a beer?”“Why not?” the old man said “Between fishermen.”1．The underlined word “salao” in the first paragraph probably means ________.A．lonely B．unlucky C．dishonest D．stubborn（固执的）2．The old man refused the boy to go fishing with him again because____.A．he wanted to fish by himself B．he could really understand the b oy’s parentsC．the boy asked for some money D．the boy had already learnt how to fish3．From the story we can know that __________.A．the boy was worried about the old man’s healthB．the boy’s parents believed in the old manC．everyone laughed at the old ma n’s bad luckD．the old man was always full of hopF18、Safe Travel AbroadPreparing to go traveling abroad can be really stressful, especially if you don’t know what to expect.

If you don't have the necessary paperwork, you might be refused entry.

2010-2023历年江苏省无锡市东林中学九年级上学期期末考试英语试卷（带解析）第1卷一.参考题库(共20题)1.Oil is so important that it is sometimes called “black gold”. Almost half of our energy comes from oil. We use it to run our cars and factories and to heat our homes, offices and schools. Many everyday things are made from oil. Your shirt may have oil in the material. The soap you wash your hands with might also be made from oil. Your favorite plastic toy is made from oil.Oil is hard to find, because it is trapped deep under the earth. Once the only way people knew there was oil someplace if it leaked（渗漏）out of the ground. Today, however, we have many ways of finding oil. One tool measures（测量）the pull of gravity. Places where gravity is weaker are more likely to have oil. Another tool is sound waves（声波）. Sound waves travel through different kinds of rocks at different speeds. We can use them to find the rocks that have oil in them.We need a lot of oil, and we are using up the oil wells we know about. Soon we must find new ways of look ing for this “black gold”.【小题1】Which of the following isn’t the way to help find oil?A．Sound waves travel through different kinds of rocks at different speeds. B．People measure the pull of gravity to know if there is oil.C．Sound waves tell us where the oil has leaked out of the ground.D．People know there is oil if it leaks out of the ground.【小题2】Which of the following does the passage lead you to believe?A．Oil was firstly found by measuring gravity.B．Many things are made from oil.C．We will never run out of oil.D．Our lives would not be different if we didn’t have oil.【小题3】The main idea of the whole story is that ________________.A．many things are made from oilB．we must find new ways of looking for oilC．people spend a lot of time looking for oilD．oil is important for us but hard to find2.假设TVGuide外文版将刊登文章介绍湖南电视台热播的电视节目“爸爸去哪儿”(Dad, Where Are WeGoing?)，上周五你看过一期。

But how perfect do you think your school is? Imagine you could design(设计) your ideal(理想的) school. What would it be like? We wanted to find out what teenagers around the world thought. Here is some designing from four children of different countries.My dream school would have an Olympic-size swimming pool, two football pitches and a golf course. It would also have a cinema,a gym,a restaurant and a shopping centre. My school has none of these and I think there should be more enjoyable things for pupils to do while they are studying.________Ma,ChinaMy dream school would have an Olympic-size swimming pool, two football pitches and a golf course.

If that day was a Friday or a Monday, we would have a long weekend every week.What fun! I also think school should start later, at about 10 o’clock, and finish earlier. We spend a lot of time at school doing nothing at all. I’m sure we could learn just as much in fewer hours._______Richard, USAI think it would be great to have a day off every week,as well as the weekend.

D．A scientist.4．Which one is true according to the poem?A．The writer can help people put out fires.B．The writer is living his dreams and lucky.C．Our dream will often pursue us actively.D．Everyone can make his dream come true.C15、Have you ever had a science class that you look forward to? It doesn’t happen oft en. But when you have a teacher like Mrs. Rheineck, it’s more than a science class. It’s a science class where learning is easy and fun. There is no getting down to a huge textbook or listening to a teacher about something you don’t care about.My experien ce with Mrs. Rheineck didn’t start with science class, but with her as my tutor（导师，家庭教师）. I wasalways a weak reader and wasn’t getting any better. My parents told me I needed to be tutored.One day after school, I went into the library with my mom for my first tutoring time. I had no idea who was tutoring me. My mom practically had to pull me into the library. The first thing we did was to play a game to get to know each other and get rid of the awkwardness (笨拙，尴尬). We didn’t even play a reading game.We a lso went around the library and I got to pick out a book I wanted to read. She didn’t make me read a boring textbook about something I didn’t care about. I didn’t even pick a book. I picked out a magazine about remote control cars. I thought to myself, how bad could it be? I got to read about remote control cars. She told me even though I was reading a magazine, I was still reading. After the first magazine, she picked out a book she liked. I would read achapter(章) and then she would read a chapter to me, this way I didn’t have to read for long periods of time.As I got better and faster at reading, I was able to read two chapters in the same amount of time, which used to take me to read one chapter.Reading is one of the most important things in high school and college to be successful. If it wasn’t for her, I would not be the reader I am today and I thank her for that.1．Why was the writer tutored by Mrs. Rheineck?A．Because the writer was too shy to talk with others.B．Because the writer found science easy and fun.C．Because the writer liked her science class.D．Because the writer couldn’t read books quickly.2．It can be inferred from the third paragraph that __________.A．the writer went to the library to play a gameB．the writer was unhappy to be tutoredC．the writer knew Mrs. Rheineck very wellD．the writer was awkward to read in the library3．At the library, the writer __________.A．chose any book he was interested inB．played a reading game with Mrs. RheineckC．was asked to read one chapter after anotherD．had to read textbooks rather than magazinesD16、Recently the “China dream” has been the subject of a public topic. Although it is quite common for Chinese peo ple to dream of an empowered or a prosperous(繁荣) China, most people also have their own dreams. Throughout China’sthousands of years of history, these “China dreams” have always existed. Do you have a “China dream”? I brought up this topic with several young Chinese students with higher U.S. educational backgrounds. Unsurprisingly, they all had their own heartfelt hopes and dreams for their native country.Fred Wang, an MBA candidate in the U.S. said, “I dream of equal chance for the young in China. Equa lity means all young people can____fairly, based on the rule-of-law no matter whether they are rich or poor.”Yujie Zhao, another MBA candidate in California said, “I dream of a happy family with an affordable home. I dream of having the best education for my children so they will not lose at the starting line, and I dream of being able to take good care of my parents after they retire(退休).” She said, “It seems like all my dreams are about family, but it is so true for most Chinese young dreamers today.”Yi qiong Zhang, an MBA graduate from the US shared her dreams. “I have a dream which I have been holding for many years, that is after working hard for about 20 to 25 years, I can have enough money to build and manage a small bookstore or a flower shop. Besides working hard, I am able to enjoy life: to play the piano, to hike and to enjoy atwo-month-long vacation every year. This may be a common dream among young Chinese students.”There is no doubt that all of these young students have their own “China dream”. They all love China, they all love chasing their dreams. Beautiful “China Dream” requires hard work. Everyone should work hard to make their dream come true.1．Which is right about the three young Chinese students?A．They receive higher education in China.B．They have their own hopes and dreams for China.C．They receive education of all levels in America.D．They have their own hopes and dreams for America.2．What does the word “compete” in the second paragraph mean?A．对待B．完成C．竞争D．成功3．Yujie Zhao hopes that ___________.A．all young people can have equal opportunitiesB．she can have a happy family with a big houseC．her children can receive the best education in AmericaD．she can look after her parents well when they are old4．Which one is NOT Y iqiong Zhang’s dream?A．Working hard for about 20 to 25 years.B．Managing a small bookstore or a flower shop.C．Playing the piano and hiking in her free time.D．Having a two-month holiday every year.5．From the passage we can learn that ____________.A．“China Dream” is very difficult to come true.B．“China Dream” does need everyone’s hard work.C．“China Dream” is a subject we need to study in China.D．“China Dream” is only a dream about the development of our country.E17、Spring is coming . The flowers will start blossoming (开花)and the trees will be filled with colors. It’s time of the year for people to plant trees. Planting trees is a good way to protect our environment. But most of us don’t have a place to plant trees. So what can we do for protecting the environment? We can make a difference from the others. For example, we can think about a way to make people cut down fewer trees. As we know, paper is made from trees. If we use less paper, we can save a lot of trees. Then we may have a problem that how to use less paper. Let me tell you my ideas.Reducing Our Paper WasteEvery day we just use the paper and we don’t think about where the paper comes from.Let us think about wasting a piece of paper is like wasting a tree. We can start with reducing the amount of paper products that we use. This could be done by such a simple way as using e-mail instead of writing notes. ReusingWe could reuse paper that is cleanon one side for drafts, notes andeven photocopies. As students, wecould reuse paper by doing ourresearch online or at librariesrather than buying lots of writtenpaper. Sharing books or buying aused textbook for school isanother way of reusing.RecycleWe should consider recycling notebookpaper, newspapers, magazines and coloredpaper. We can buy paper towels, tissues,and toilet paper that have been made fromrecycled paper. Don’t throw away thewasted newspapers or books which are notuseful to you.1．People can protect the environment by doing the following things except ______. A．planting trees B．reusing paperC．drinking less water D．cutting down less trees2．We can reduce our paper waste by______.A．sending e-mail B．writing letters C．sending cards D．using paper bag 3．______isn’t a way for you to reuse paper.A．Doing research online B．Buying lots of written paper C．Sharing books D．Buying a used textbook4．______can be recycled to make paper towels, tissues and toilet paper.A．Colored paper B．NewspapersC．Magazines D．All of the above5．From the passage we know that .A．we can reuse paper for drafts, notes and even photocopiesB．the paper is made from clothes and treesC．four ideas are mentioned here to save paper.D．we should cut down more trees to make more paperF18、阅读图表，从每题所给的A 、B、C三个选项中，选出最佳答案回答问题或完成句子1．（小题1）What can you know from the poster for the festival?A．There is going to be a food festival on April 16.B．It will take place on the playground of No. 2 Middle School.C．It aims to raise some money for the Project Hope.2．（小题2）What time will the food Festival be over?A．4 hours.

The help of others is a good 35 to help us pull through.I write for a big newspaper, and I wanted to 36 a story about parachute jumping（跳伞）. To make it a realistic as well as exciting story, I decided that I had to make a jump myself 37 . Unluckily, I’m not good at any sport, let alone（更不用说）parachute jumping. My friend Mr. Smith was willing to give me a 38 . He took me to a ground school. The first day’s 39 included several hours of instruction but not my first drop from an airplane. For this, I had to wait until the following morning.The next morning, I was taken to the airfield. There, a heavy parachute was put on my back. Then I was asked to make my way to a small plane which had just stopped slowly on the runway. Once on board, the plane was soon 40 . I began to feel nervous. As we reached one thousand meters, Harry, my teacher, hooked（钩）a 41 from my parachute to a steel（钢制品）ring inside the plane. The line was to pull my parachute 42 after I jumped.“Get ready, Henry,” Harry said. I moved ca refully to the door. I wanted to cry, “NO, no, no!” But no word came.“Jump!” Harry called loudly. “Jump!”Away from the plane, and down, down I fell, arms stretched. It worked! All at once I was very happy.

As the teacher walked into the classroom, he heard a low voice, “Here’s the teacher. I’m sure this bor ing fellow(家伙)is going to talk about how to use commas(逗号).” It was a boy’s voice and the teacher knew who he was.However, the teacher didn’t get angry. He said nothing about it, but really began to talk about how to use commas. And then he wrote the following sentence on the blackboard, “Nick says the teacher is a boring fellow.”The class laughed and Nick’s face turned red.“Now,”said the teacher, “I’ll tell you the importance of commas.”He put two commas in the sentence, and then read, “Nick, says the teacher, is a boring fellow.”The whole class laughed again. Nick felt very surprised first, then his face much redder. Finally he couldn’t help laughing with the other students, too.45. What subject did the teacher teach the students?A. Math.B. English.C. Music.D. Science.46. What kind of boy was Nick like?A. A tall boy.B. A healthy boy.C. A funny boy.D. A small boy.47. I think Nick liked to have ___________lessons.A. boringB. badC. noD. interestingBSome teenagers think that newspapers are boring and only for adul ts. But that’s not true. There are many interesting stories in the paper. You just need to make clear what you are looking at. “I spend about half an hour reading newspapers every day,” said 15-year-old Gao Ming from Beijing. “I’m interested in things happening at school.” School news is just one kind of news story in newspapers. There’s also world news: from international p roblems to pop stars.Read the newspaper carefully, we’ll find different types of articles on the pages: News stories —these stories are about events. Reporters try to show all points of a story to help readers understand what happened. Reporters try to speak to as many people as possible. They also use pictures and numbers to show the readers that the stories are true. The newspaper Teenagers has lots of news stories on the news page and front page. When we read them, we learn more about the facts, not the writers’ ideas.Opinion writing — opinion writing is usually about something happening right now. But it isn’t just facts. Here w riters add their own opinions to the news. Writers pick only the facts that help back up their ideas. They make readers believe that they a re telling the truth. This is usually the kind of story that gets people thinking. Go to “Speak Out” on Page Two for an example of opinion writing in Teenagers.Advertisement —Don’t get happy too early when you read them. Those sweet words and lovely pictures are just ways to get us interested in their products! People have to pay to put advertisements in newspapers!48. The underlined sentence means that the readers ___________.A. should understand interesting news storiesB. ought to know which kind of things to readC. need to look at the school news firstD. must know the contents of all the news49. In the writer’s opinion, we’d better be ___________ advertisements in newspapers.A. interested inB. againstC. worried aboutD. careful of50. This passage mainly discusses how___________.A. reporters write different kinds of newsB. teenagers get interested in newspapersC. readers can read newspapers in better waysD. readers can’t read different news in newspapersDisney world was built with children in mind. However, without proper planning, your dream visit to Disney World could become an endless problem. A few tips can help both you and your children enjoy the visit.Disney World needs a great deal of walking, and unless(除非)you arrive during the off-season, the lines are often quite long. That’s going to make your children tired and angry. So make sure the kids have comfortable shoes and bring a stroller(婴儿车)if you have a small child. Bring along some snacks such as fruit or biscuits for times when they get angry. As for waits in line, it helps to have a few small toys to keep your children busy.Disney World’s parks all have rides for young children. They also have rides children should not go on—usually because they are not safe. For situations in which adults want to go on a fast ride such as Space Mountain or the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, Di sney has a “child swap” system that allows your group to keep in line together—when you reach the ride, half of the group can take it while the rest stay with the children; then the groups exchange places. Think about each ride carefully and choose those you feel are best for your children.Besides, nothing is more important than safety inside the parks. Children can easily become lost am ong the crowded and finding them again may be a tough thing. So be careful to keep your children nearby and always watch their location.51. If a child visits Disney World during the holidays,___________.A. he can go on rides that he likesB. he can’t visit all the parksC. he may wait in line for a long timeD. he isn’t likely to have a comfortable lunch52. The underlined word “swap” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to___________.A. lineB. exc hangeC. stayD. care53. Where can we most probably find this passage?A. In a research paper.B. In a school textbook.C. In a travel magazine.D. In a personal diary.DNo one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world, but the number may be over 450 million. The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada.In the United Kingdom, about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not just something that happens to other people. As we get older, many of us will become less mobile (可动的) , hard of hearing or have failing eyesight.Disablement can take many forms and happen at any time of life. Some people are born with disabilities. Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases. The longer time goes on, the worse they become. Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have disability in the form of a mental illness. All are affected by people’s attitude(态度) t owards them.Disabled people face many physical barriers(障碍). Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends, imagine what would you do if you could not get up steps, or on to buses and trains. What would you do if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic? But there are other barriers: prejudice(偏见)can be even harder to break down and ignorance (无知) represents by far the greatest barrier of all. It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully understand what the disabled go through, so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person(个人) and their ability, not their disability, which counts.54. The first paragraph points out that ___________.A. it is possible to get an exact number of the world’s disabled peopleB. there are many disabled people in the worldC. the number of disabled people in India is the greatestD.

The whole society should pay more attention to the barriers faced by the disabled people.C. Even the able-bodied may lose some of their body functions when they get older.D. There is still prejudice against the disabled which results mainly from ignorance.57. It can be concluded from the passage that ___________.A. we should try our best to prevent disablementB. we must take a proper attitude towards the disabledC. the able-bodied people will never fully understand the disabledD. both physical and mental barriers are hard to break down四、词汇运用（本大题共 8 分，每小题 1 分）(A)根据句意和中文意思，写出单词的正确形式。
