You will find nothing special about this old wall if you just look at it. But for the students in my class, it is a special wall. Take a good look at it, and you will get to know the real feelings and thoughts of us, the 9th graders.In the middle of the wall, there is a big “VICTORY”. It was written in pencil. I guess it must have been written by someone who got a good mark in an exam.A little higher above the formulas, there is a poem. It only has two sentences. It reads: All those sweet memories have disappeared. Like tears dropping in the heavy rain.Oh! It must have been written at the end of the last term in middle school. Classmates had to leave school and good friends had to part. What a sad poem!If you “explore” the wall more carefully, you will find many other interesting things, like a crying face, or a happy face, and other patterns(图案). There are still some patterns and letters that I can’t understand, but they all show the feeling of the students who drew them.For years, the wall has witnessed(目睹) all the things that have happened in the classroom. I don’t know how it will be next year, two years from now, or even ten years from now. But I hope more smiling faces will be drawn on it.（）1.

He learnt his acting skills and playedfemale roles. Singing, dancing, and acting are the three main parts of thetraditional Chinese opera.

After many years of effort he enabled(使得) the Dan to havean important place in Beijing opera, with a clear-cut form for new comers to follow and develop. In his 50-year stage life, he used new acting skills and made lots of good operas.In July 1937, the Japanese army occupied(占领) Beijing. The officer of the army told Mei to perform for them and promised to give him a reward. Mei refused at the risk(风险) of his life and from then on he did not appear on stage during the war. His decision to give up made him poor until the war ended in 1945.Mei Lanfang was the first artist to introduce Beijing opera to foreign countries.

The professor (a teacher at a college) had said they could bring any books or notes during the test.Right after they came into the classroom. The professor handed out the papers. There were only five questions on it.Three hours passed. Then the professor began to collect the papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was nervous expression. The professor watched the worried faces before him, and then asked, “How many of you have completed all five questions?” No hand was raised. “How many of you have answered four?” Still no hands. “Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly in their seats. “One, then? Certainly somebody has finished one.” But the class kept silent. The professor said, “That is exactly what I expected. I just want to make you know clearly that even though you have completed four years of engineering. There are still many things about the subject you don't know. These questions you could not answer are common in everyday practice.” Then, smiling, he added, “You will all pass this course, your education has just begun.”The years have obscured the name of this professor, but not the lesson he taught.（）16.

But some of them have some wrong ideas about it.A plate of chicken is a good meal before games because it has much energy.In fact, the best meal before games should have carbohydrates(碳水化合物). Foods like potatoes, bread, bananas are rich in it, but chicken and meat are not. Carbohydrates are the best and most easily used form of energy. The energy that you get for today's game is from what you ate yesterday!The best time to exercise is early in the morning.No. Morning is a good time to exercise, but it may not be suitable for you. If an afternoon or evening period suits you, and you enjoy the feeling of getting healthier, you can choose any time to exercise. There is no fixed time for you to exercise.If you drink water when you exercise, you'll get headaches and feel tired.The fact is that you must have some water during breaks when you exercise. And after exercising, you must have enough water. If you don't drink enough water, then you'll probably get headaches and feel tired.Exercising the same body part every day is the fastest way to improve strength.False. Exercising the same body part every day is the fastest way to cause problems. Toimprovestrength, you want to work your muscles(肌肉) hard, but then you need to give those muscles a day of rest. Too much exercise can cause serious problems to muscles.Girls who do strength training will make their muscles big.Wrong. We usually connect those big muscles with bodybuilders(健美运动员)but girls don't have enough of male hormone(雄性激素) to make their muscles big like men. Strength training is a good way to make their muscles strong for girls.（）21. You had better eat _____ before games.A. bananasB. chickenC. meatD. beef（）22.

Exercising the same body part every day is the fastest way to improve strength.（）24. The writer advises you to _____.A. take exercise only in the morningB. make your muscles small through exerciseC. drink enough water after exercisingD. become a bodybuilder by strength training（）25 Which of the following would be the best title for the article?A. Results of sports and exercise.B. Proper time for sports and exercise.C. Reasons for sports and exercise.D. False ideas about sports and exercise.FAs space science develops, man has learned more and more about space. Space is not only amazing but also dangerous. While working in space, spacemen are facing danger as well as success.Scientists have found out that the radiation（辐射）is the greatest danger to spacemen in space. When spacemen are working in space, they are in danger of the radiation from the sun and other stars, which is bad for their health. The harm of the radiation won’t be found until their children even grandchildren are born. Some special medicine may work a little, but no really effective medicine has been found so far.Space rubbish is also thought to be a great danger to spacemen. It’s reported that there were 9,000 man-made things flying in space. About 30% of these are satellites, 10% are spaceships, and the rest are space rubbish. An explosion（爆炸）in space in 1999 made a cloud of 300,000 fragments,each at least 4mm in size. A small piece of these even knocked a spaceship window and caused some damage（损坏）.Scientists are watching and reporting any possible danger all the time. They are working to deal with space rubbish. Although space is really dangerous, it interests many people on the earth. In the near future, it may become possible for people to spend a few days in a space hotel. We may even choose to leave the earth and live in space in a few years. So we should do something to help improve the space environment.（）26. ______ shows the man-made things in space in the correct way.A. B. C. D.（）27. The radiation from the sun and other stars is ______ to spacemen.A. goodB. helpfulC. usefulD. harmful（）28. The underlined word “fragments” means “______”.A. 碎片B. 泡沫C. 烟雾D. 飞碟（）29. The passage talks about _________ kinds of danger in space.A. twoB. threeC. fourD. five（）30. Which of the following is TRUE?A. Scientists have found out ways to solve any problem in space.B. Every one of us can have a travel to space in ten years.C. The harm of the radiation may be found in the spacemen’s children.D. Space is really dangerous, so it doesn’t interest anyone on the earth.三、单词拼写（每小题1分，共15分）根据文章内容和首字母提示，写出单词正确形式Happiness is for everyone.
