When I arrived in the US, I felt very sad because life in the US was different from life in my country. My first day of school was at Takoma Park Middle School in March last year. I was very nervous in that morning and I didn’t want to get up. When I went to my first class, I didn’t know what to do because I didn’t know what the teacher said. But there were many people who spoke the same language as me, while some of them were laughing at me, because they came before me and they understood the language better than me.But there were three girls who helped me. Their names are Maryori, Jezabel and Beverly. As the days passed, I had some new friends and Beverly became my best friend. She always helped me with my study.Three months later, the school year ended and I had to come to Blair High School. On my first day of school at Blair, I felt it was different from my first day in middle school because it was a beginning of a new school year and there were many new students. I felt better because I knew that I wa sn’t the only new student.That day I met new friends. For some of them it was their first time at school in the US, so I tried to help them because I knew how new students feel when they go to a new school.【1】How did the writer feel when he went to school on the first day in the US?A．A little moved.B．A little afraid.C．Very nervous.D．Very excited.【2】The writer didn’t know what to do in his class because .A．he didn’t understand the teacher’s wordsB．he couldn’t see the blackboard clearlyC．no one spoke the same language as him and couldn’t help himD．no one noticed him and told him what he should do【3】Three good girls gave a helping hand to him when he was .A．in his own countryB．in Takoma Park Middle SchoolC．in Blair High SchoolD．laughed at by some teachers【4】When the writer came to another new school, he felt better because .A．he knew the language better than beforeB．he knew the customs better than before.C．he had more friends than beforeD．he knew he wasn’t the only new student【5】Why did the write try to help his new classmates?A．Because they came from the same country.B．Because he knew how new students feel when they go to a new school.C．Because he wanted to set a good example to others.D．Because the teachers asked him to do.2.You may have heard of the famous saying, “East or west, home is the best.”What does the word “home” mean to you? How do you say the word in French? In Chines e? In your language? Although people usually know what the word means, it sometimes has no exact translation. It’s not surprising, because the idea of home is “ different from country to country and from person to person”. A home is more than a roof and fo ur walls. It’s the cooking ,eating, talking, playing and sleeping that go on inside. And at home you usually feel safe and relaxed.Homes look different in different countries. They also have different things inside. For example, in cold northern Europe, t here’s a fire in the living room or kitchen and all the chairs face it, In the south, where the sun shines a lot and it’s more important to keep the heat out, there are small windows and cool stone floors.We asked some people about their homes.How often do people move house in your country?“ In my country many people don’t stay in one place for a very long time. They often move every ten years or so.”------Cheryl, Boston, USAWhat are the features of homes in your country?“ In Britain, even in town, there’s always a garden. We have separate bedrooms and living rooms. But we don’t often have balconies. The weather isn’t warm enough!”------Pat, Exeter, England【1】The word “home” sometimes has no exact translation because .A．people can’t find this word in the dictionaryB．no one knows what it isC．it may have different meaning in different people’s eyesD．people can’t understand each other very well【2】According to the passage, at home, you can do everything except .A．making friends B．cooking and eatingC．playing and talking D．sleeping and relaxing【3】Why is it important to keep the heat out of houses in the southern Europe?A．Because they want to breathe fresh air outside.B．Because there is a fire in the living room.C．Because they wear heavy clothes all day long.D．Because the sun there shines a lot.【4】From the third paragraph, what kind of homes have depends on .A．whether they are rich or notB．the climate they haveC．how old they areD．whether they live in the city or countryside【5】Which one of the following sentences is TRUE?A．People in Britain seldom have balconies because it’s so hot outside.B．Some Americans move house several times during their lifetime.C．Homes look the same in different countries.D．Houses in northern Europe have big windows and cool stone floors.A．Three.B．Four.C．Five.D．Six.【2】When will the lecture be?A．On December 21.B．On December 22.C．On December 23.D．On December 24.【3】How long will be the lecture last?A．An hour.B．90 minutes.C．Half an hour.D．120 minutes.【4】 Where will be students go to listen to the lecture?A．In their classroom.B．At the gate of their school.C．In the school hall.D．On the playground of their school.【5】 The passage is probably a(n) .A．ad B．poster C．report D．notice4.Calvin and Hobbes is an American strip（连环漫画）by Bill Watterson.

南雅中学九上开学考试英语试题(解析版)
2019-2020-1南雅中学初三上入学考试试卷英语II.知识运用第一节语法填空。
从A、B、C三个选项中选择最佳答案填空。
1.【答案】A【解析】【详解】句意：——今天气温只有10摄氏度。
——是的。
今年乌鲁木齐的天气真奇怪！考查感叹句。
分析语境可知，答句是感叹句。
根据句意和空后“strange the weather is”可知，这里用how 引导的感叹句，修饰形容词strange“奇怪的”，所以用“How+形容词+主谓！”的结构。
故选A。
2.【答案】B【解析】【详解】句意：——你会请谁帮你完成工作，露西还是莉莉？——莉莉。
她更细心。
考查比较级。
careful形容词原级；more careful形容词比较级；the most careful形容词最高级。
根据前文“Lucy or Lily”，可知是两者比较，又横线前much是修饰比较级的词，表程度，可知此处填形容词比较级，故选B。
3.【答案】B【解析】【详解】句意：当电话铃响时我正在看电视。
考查动词时态。
根据时间状语“when the telephone rang”可知电话铃响的时间“我”正在看电视，所以用过去进行时，过去进行时的结构为was/were+动词-ing，主语是单数，故选B。
4.【答案】C【解析】【详解】句意：下个月假期一开始后，我们就将去一个有趣的地方。
考查动词时态。
as soon as连接的时间状语，遵循“主将从现”原则，即主句一般将来时，从句用一般现在时。
由于the holiday是第三人称单数，故谓语动词用三单形式，故选C。
5.【答案】C【解析】【详解】句意：——你能告诉我今天报纸上有什么特别的吗？——对不起，没有什么特别的。
考查不定代词的用法。
形容词修饰不定代词，形容词要后置，排除选项A和B；something一般用于肯定句或以can/could/would等开头的表示一种较肯定的意味或提出申请的疑问句，根据句意可知，问句是一个表示提出申请的句子，所以第一空可以用something special；第二空根据答句的“Sorry”可知，今天报纸上没有什么特别的内容“nothing special”。

I liked school but I felt bored.And then I started the fourth grade. My teacher, Mrs. Chen, was a young woman who was good at writing, art and music. Her class was very interesting. With her help, I started Fun Club with some boys in my class. I also wrote a book called Through the Forest. And lots of my classmates liked it.However, I was surprised when fifty years later I got a letter about a reunion (聚会). A few days later, we had a reunion at Mrs. Chen's home. Reconnecting with Mrs. Chen was a journey back in time. Fifty years have passed, but my teacher still remembers every student. She even doesn't forget the class bully (欺负) — a boy used to hit me with snowballs on my way to school. Lots of teachers thought bullying was nothing serious at that time, but Mrs. Chen didn't agree. She put a stop to it at once when she found out about it.Now, in my mid-fifties, I appreciate the gifts Mrs. Chen has given me even more. It's never too late to say thanks to this fantastic teacher.

Papaderos held up his hand and stilled the room and looked at me for a long time, asking with his eyes if I was serious and seeing from my eyes that I was.“I will answer your question.”Taking his wallet out of his hip pocket, he fished into a leather billfold and brought out a very small round mirror, about the size of a quarter. And what he said went like this:“When I was a small child, during the war, we were very poor and we lived in a remote village. One day, on the road, I found the broken pieces of a mirror. A German motorcycle had been wrecked in that place.I tried to find all the pieces and put them together, but it was not possible, so I kept only the largest piece. This one, and, by scratching it on a stone, I made it round. I began to play with it as a toy and became fascinated by the fact that I could reflect light into dark places where the sun would never shine—in deep holes and crevices（裂缝）and dark closets. It became a game for me to get light into the most inaccessible places I could find.I kept the little mirror, and, as I went about my growing up, I would take it out in idle moments and continue the challenge of the game. As I became a man, I grew to understand that this was not just a child’s game but a metaphor for what I might do with my life. I came to understand that I am not the light or the source of light. But light—truth, understanding, knowledge—is there, and it will shine in many dark places only if I reflect it.I am a fragment（碎片）of a mirror whose whole design and shape I do not know. Nevertheless, with what I have I can reflect light into the dark places of this world—into the black places in the hearts of men—and change some things in some people. Perhaps others may see and do likewise. This is what I am about. This is the meaning of my life.”（1）On hearing the author’s question, Dr. Papaderos __________ at first.ughed at his foolishnessB.wasn’t sure of the answerC.doubted his seriousnessD.wasn’t interested at all（2）Why did Dr. Papaderos like the small round mirror so much as a child?A.Because he was too poor to afford other toys.B.Because it could shine the places where the sun couldn’t reach.C.Because he believed it would bring good luck to him.D.Because it told him a lot about what life really meant to him.（3）The underlined “metaphor” in the 7th paragraph most probably means _____.A.symbolB.sourceC.lightD.purpose（4）Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A.A Special Game in the ChildhoodB.A Broken Piece of MirrorC.Dr. Papaderos’ ExperienceD.The Meaning of Life四、补全短文5选4Many people say that they are working too many hours. They don't have enough time to relax or to stay with their family.Work hours are different from one country to another. In France, people spend about 1,646 hours a year at work. In Japan, however, people work about 2,159 hours a year. That means a Japanese worker works 513 more hours a year than a French worker.Why do people work so many hours? Some people work extra hours because they want to make more money. However, many companies don't pay overtime. Their workers don't get more pay for more work. Some people think it's their duty to work more hours. Some are afraid of losing their jobs if they don't work more hours.Many people say that their vacations are too short. In France, people get five weeks of paid vacation a year. In Germany, they get four to six weeks, and in the United States, two weeks. One study shows fewer than half of workers used all their vacation days. In Great Britain, there is a saying, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull（迟钝的）boy." If that is true, there must be a lot of dull people in the world.（1）A Japanese worker works ______ more hours a year than a French one.A.513B.1,646C.2,159（2）The word "extra" in Paragraph 3 means ______.A.正常的B.额外的C.有用的（3）People in ______ get only two weeks of paid vacation a year.A.FranceB.GermanyC.the United States（4）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.No companies offer vacations to their workers.B.Many people say they have enough time to relax.C.Not all companies pay their workers for more work.（5）What can we infer（推断）from the passage?A.Many workers have to work long hours.B.Many people have vacations long enough.C.Work hours are the same around the world.五、回答问题Eating out is more popular in Britain today than it has ever been. It is reported that British people spend more time eating out than cooking for themselves and eating at home. It seems that many British people are becoming more and more interested in how good their food tastes, and also how healthy it is.However, eating out can also be expensive, so British people do not eat out every night. When having a date with friends, or having a birthday party, many people like to go to a restaurant, and people also often eat in a restaurant before going to the cinema or the theatre.As in all cultures, there are many rules of manners about eating. The knife and fork should be used in the correct way. It is also impolite to speak with your mouth full when you are eating.Most British cities have a large collection of food as well as British food, from the very cheap to the very expensive-French, Italian, Indian, Chinese, Thai, Japanese and many, many more.When people are too tired to cook after work, they often get a "take away". This means that they order from a take-out restaurant by telephone, and then go to get it. Many take-out restaurants also send it to your house. All you have to do is open the door, pay and eat!（1）When do British people often eat in a restaurant?A.After celebrating a birthday.B.Before watching a film.C.When they feel tired.D.If they want to have natural food.（2）From the fourth paragraph, we can learn ______.A.British dishes are very expensiveB.Japanese dishes are the most expensiveC.British people like foreign foodD.French food is the most popular（3）The "take away" is the food ______.A.you order and take out of the restaurantB.that is left when you are eating in a restaurantC.you order but don't need to pay at onceD.that is sold and ordered only on the phone（4）What is the best title for the passage?A.British Restaurant CultureB.British Table MannersC.The Best Restaurants in BritainD.The Best Food in Britain六、语篇翻译The world is not hungry, but it is thirsty. It seems strange that nearly 3/4 of the earth is covered with water while we say we are short of water. Why? Because about 97% of water on the earth is sea water which we can't drink or use for watering plants directly（直接地） . Man can only drink and use the 3%—the water that comes from rivers and lakes. And we can't even use all of that, because some of it has been polluted.Now more water is needed. The problem is: Can we avoid（避免）a serious water shortage later on? First, we should all learn how to save water. Secondly, we should find out the ways to reuse it. Scientists have always been making studies in the field. Today, in most large cities, water is used only once and then runs to the sea or rivers. But it can be used again. Even if every large city reused its water, still there would not be enough. What could people turn to next?The sea seems to have the best answer. There is a lot of water in the sea. All that needs to be done is to get the salt out of the sea water. This is expensive, but it's already used in many parts of the world. Scientists are trying to find a cheaper way of doing it. So you see, if we can find a way out, we'll be in no danger of drying up.（1）The world is thirsty because ______.A.3/4 of the earth is covered with waterB.we have enough sea water to use directlyC.we haven't used all the water in rivers and lakesD.about 97% of water on the earth can't be drunk or used for watering plants directly（2）Which of the following is true?A.3% of water on the earth is from rivers and lakes.B.75% of water on the earth is the sea.C.97% of the earth is covered with water.D.3% of water on the earth is sea water.（3）From the passage we learn ______.A.if every city reuses its water, we'll be in no danger of drying upB.man can only drink and use about 25% of water on the earthC.today in most large cities, water is used only onceD.water can be used only once（4）To avoid the serious water shortage, the most important thing is ______.A.to save water and try to make good use of the water in rivers and lakesB.not to pollute water and keep all rivers and lakes cleanC.to make dirty water clean and then reuse itD.to try to find a cheaper way to get the salt out of the sea water（5）The name of the passage would be ______.A.The Sea WaterB.How to Save WaterC.The Thirsty WorldD.The Polluted Water七、填写适当的句子补全对话通读下面的对话, 根据上下文补全对话内容。

How did people stay cool during the summer in ancient times? The days are getting hotter now. In modern times, we can enjoy cold drinks in an air-conditioned (有空调的) room to stay cool. In ancient times, however, people had their own ways.As early as the Zhou Dynasty, there was a special department(部门) called the "ice administration". People who worked there wouldcollect ice blocks(冰块) in winter and store them in an ice house. When summer came, people could take the ice blocks home and use themto make their rooms cooler.The ice could also be used to make cold drinks. The "binghan"(冰鉴) was a type of ancient fridge. It was a big box made of ceramic (陶),wood or metal (金属)filled with ice. People would put drinks inside, close the lid(盖子),and the drinks would become cold after a while.When it's too hot, you might find it difficult to fall asleep. In ancient times, there was a kind of pillow made of porcelain(瓷器).It felt pleasantly cool. It is said that Emperor Qianlong(1711-99) ofthe Qing Dynasty liked these pillows. Ancient people also wove(编织) reeds(芦苇) or bamboo into bed mats (垫子)to sleep on. Some peoplestill use these mats today.【小题1】How do people keep away from heat nowadays according to the first paragraph?____________________【小题2】How did people have the special department "ice administration"?____________________【小题3】Was "binghan" a big box made of ice to make cold drinks?____________________【小题4】Why did Emperor Qianlong like the pillow made of porcelain? ____________________【小题5】What did ancient people wove into bed mats to have a better sleep in summer?____________________六、语篇翻译18. 1.骑自行车正在全世界变得越来越流行.
