Arrange the time betterAs a SOHO, you needn’t work in a certain period of time. If you need a very quiet environment, try to work at midnight.5. Use other ways to make yourself betterIf the noise is too loud and strong, then take a rest! Listen to music, watch films, or walk outside, do something else. Start your work when it’s quiet and you have enough energy.71. The writer’s house is located in a quieter place in the city without any noises around.72. The visits of the salesmen make the writer worried.73. The writer prefers some public places to get interesting things for his stories.74. College libraries are usually quieter than public libraries.75. In order to work better, the writer was sure to put on earphones while working at home.76.

There is a much greater sense of history here than there is at home.The one thing I’m not crazy about is the food. They eat so differently here! First of all, they eat lots of bread and meat, but not many vegetables. Also, they drink a lot of beer. I was surprised to see fifteen-year-old kids drinking beer with huge cups, right in the square! My favorite foods here are the apple-juice soda and the huge soft biscuits. But they don’t like these.People here dress well, and everyone seems confident and beautiful.

Obama gives his seven and ten-year-old daughters just a dollar a week each for the jobs they do. They help to do housework such as setting the table, washing dishes, and c 92 their play areas and bedrooms.Some people question if it is r 93 to give children allowances in this way.

Choose the best answer ( 7分)Miss Bailey taught me English in Junior school. She cycled to school, and then when entering the school gate, she would give her bicycle to anyone of us to park it for her. It was a privilege(特别恩典) when Miss Bailey gave her bicycle to you. One day Shankar stood at the gate; Shankar was a hunchback(驼背的人).We laughed and said, “Move out of the way, Shankar! Miss Bailey is going to enter!” Miss Bailey drove in and we all rushed to offer our hands to her. But Miss Bailey looked past us all. “Will you park it for me?”she asked. W e looked back to see who it was and were surprised to see it was towards Shankar. “I don’t think so, Miss Bailey!” stammered(结结巴巴地说) Shankar. “Why? You lazy fellow!”said Miss Bailey playfully. “You don’t want to help your teacher, do you?”“Of course I wa nt to, Miss Bailey!” whispered Shankar. “But I might drop your cycle!” “If you drop it, you pick it up!”said the teacher with a smile.With that she gave her cycle to Shankar and didn’t look to see how he’d manage. Pretending she had confidence in his abilities, Miss Bailey turned and walked to class. We watched Shankar as he held her bike. We held our breath as we thought it was going to fall. Dinesh rushed to help. “Leave it!” Shankar said, and we all stopped. It seemed that his hump(驼背) disappeared as he drew himself up to his full height, and then with growing confidence, he pushed Miss Bailey’s cycle to the parking lot.

Shane, who was listening quietly, said, “I know _____88_____.”“People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life-like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?” Shane said, “Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don’t have to stay as ___89__as human beings.”So remember, if a dog was the teacher, you would learn things like:When loved ones come home, always run to meet them.lRun, ____90____, and play daily.lLet people touch you.lOn hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a big tree.lWhen you are happy, dance around.lNever pretend to be something you’re not.lWhen someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle(轻触)them.lLove people and don’t remember the wrong things they do ____91____ you.( )85.

Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（14分）More and more Japanese teenagers read novels on mobile phones（手机）, n___92____ on the paper.The phone novels are usually written by first-time writers-usually in their tens or twenties. Several novels have been turned into real books. Love Sky, a story a____93____ a boy with cancer, has sold more than 1.3 million books and has been made into a f____94_____.Many of the phone novels are influenced by comic(漫画) books because comic books are very popular in Japan. So phone novels are heavy in dialogue and have r____95____ short paragraphs. Large empty spaces between sentences are used to mean that the characters are thinking.A mobile phone novel website, Maho i-Land which started several years ago, now has six million members and a million novels on the site.However, some t____96_____ writers are angry about phone novels. They c____97____ that phone novels are short of scene(缺少情景) and character development.Koichiro Tomioka, a professor at Kanto Gakuin University, said it was a new w____98____ for writers to become known.He said, “It’s interesting. The problem is: can this new type of writer keep on writing books as a professional writer?”E. Answer the questions ( 14分)Nowadays there is less and less contact(联络) between the old and the young. There are mainly four reasons for this, including the breakdown of the big family, working parents with little time to take care of their child, families that have moved away, and smaller flats with no room for grandparents. But the results are the same - increasing numbers of children without grandparents and old people who have no contact with children, more old people who are lonely and feel useless, and more and more families with young children who need more love and care. It’s a big problem in many countries.Now intergenerational(代际交流) programmes, designed to bring the old and the young together, are growing popular all over the world. There are successful examples of such programmes. There are schemes(方案) which involve older people visiting families who are having problems, maybe looking after the children for a while to give the tired mother a break. Or “adopt a grandparent” schemes in which children write letters or visit a lonely old person in their area. One successful scheme in London pairs(使结对) young volunteer with old people who are losing their sight. The young people help with practical things such as reading newspapers, reading bank statements and helping with shopping, and the older people can pass on their knowledge and experience to their young visitors. For example, a retired judge may be paired with a teenager who wants to study law.If older people can understand and accept the youth of today, and so do the youth, there will be less conflict(矛盾) in the world.99. Is there more and more contact between the old and the young?100. How many reasons are mentioned(提到) for this situation?101. Many old people feel lonely and useless, don’t they?102. What is designed to bring the old and the young together?103. Where does the successful scheme pair young volunteers with old people who are losing their sight?104. If you take part in the “adopt a grandparent” scheme, will you pass on your experience or visit a lonely old person?105. Why are intergenerational programmes growing popular all over the world?Ⅸ. Writing (作文): (共18分)106. Write a passage of at least 60 words on the topic “I need…”. ( 以“我需要……”为题写一篇不少于60个词的短文符号不占格。

【答案】2009年上海市中考英语试题
2009年上海市中考英语试题参考答案和听力材料1〜30(略）31. A【解析】考査固定搭配。
have a look at= look at，类似用法还有have a swim, take a walk 等，都是兼类词的用法，这些词既可作动词又可作名词。
故选A。
难度适中。
32. D【解析】本题考查介词。
在确指的某一天或星期几，包括在这一天的早、中、晚时，用介词on，故选D。
本题易。
33. C【解析】本题考查代词的用法。
句意为：游览期间外国游客问了我许多有关中国文化的问题。
所填代词作asked的宾语，故用宾格me。
难度适中。
34. C【解析】由句中的two hats可排除all和none，它们都表示多者中的数量；由looks 的第三人称单数形式决定本题选C。
因neither作主语时谓语动词用第三人称单数形式，而both用复数形式；Do you have another one?更加印证了前文指的两顶帽子都不合适。
故选C。
本题稍难。
35. B【解析】本题考査感叹句。
感叹句分为两大类：一是what感叹名词，二是how感叹形容词或副词。
本题brave为形容词，故选B。
难度适中。
36. D【解析】此处考査few, a few, little, a little的用法。
因此空修饰Chinese(汉语），为不可数名词，故排除A、C，因空前有only ,表示"仅会一点"，故选D。
难度适中。
37. B【解析】本题考查形容词的比较等级。
由后面的than可知此处用比较级，又因much 修饰比较级，故选B。
难度适中。
38. C【解析】本题考査词性。
因taste为系动词，所以后接形容词，而A、B、D都是副词，故排除。
本题易。
39. A【解析】本题考査主从复合句的时态。
语法规定：当主从复合句的谓语动词都发生在将来时，主句用一般将来时，从句用一般现在时。
此处主句用了一般将来时态，显然从句要用一般现在时。
故选A。

Your parentswill save a lot of money,”said a family friend when I was fiveyears old. Double eyelids, which almost every Caucasian(白种人)has, are rare among Northeast Asians. Only 25% of South Koreans（韩国）are born with double eyelids.I never quite understood how having double eyelids saved myparents money until that summer when I came back to Seoul. The moment I arrived in the city, I noticed cosmetic surgery clinics（整容诊所）everywhere, along with billboards（街上大型广告牌）featuring South Korean women who had Western characteristics—tall, thin, with a milky complexion（肤色）, long legs, nice big eyes, and the perfectly-angled nose. I figured out that South Korean beauty meant looking as “white” or Caucasian as possible.South Korea is known to have the highest ratio(比例) of cosmetic surgeons to citizens worldwide. It is very common for girls to get eyelid surgery as high school graduation presents. What made South Koreans fall so madly in love with cosmetic surgery?Cosmetic surgery has some kind of magical appeal（吸引力）to them—the promise of beauty. Women are often convinced（深信不疑）that suffering and sacrificing（牺牲）is necessary and worthy in order to be beautiful. And this suffering is not for nothing. It is believed that beauty leads to attracting a better-looking partner, which then leads to better-looking children and a better lifestyle.This beauty ideal（期望）is not a trend（时尚）, but a very real standard that is growing deeper within South Korean society. Appearance is starting to play a bigger role in the workplace to the extent that men are also resort to（求助于）cosmetic surgery.

Can it arrive within two days?M: Sure, no problem.Question: Where does this conversation probably take place?4.W: My brother is thinking of eating out with us Saturday night. Any suggestions?

How about you?M: I go to the gym everyday. It helps me deal with stress.Question: What are the two speakers talking about?When I was 12, my parents moved out of London to a small village in Oxford. I was the only Asian girl in my school, and I suddenly felt a bit lonely. Luckily, I had a brilliant art teacher who encouraged me to go to art college.However, on the day of my college interview in Bath, I woke up late. I left the house wearing two odd shoes and didn't notice that my bottle of chocolate milk had poured all over the painting in my bag. Then when I finally got to the station, I got on the wrong train. Who knows, if I had gone to Bath that day, I might have become a professional artist. But I went to Swenden instead. I told the woman next to me on the train about what had happened, and she suddenly cried with laughter. It turned out she was a producer of a comedy program on the radio. To cut a long story short, I got an invitation a week later to attend an interview for the show, and the rest, as they say, is history. I am very lucky my life has been full of happy accidents. Now I am in charge of a very popular TV comedy program.11. Why did the speaker feel lonely in her new school?12. Where did the speaker plan to go for her college interview?13. What incident had changed her fate?14-16Today, I will make a speech on zoos. Many people think zoos are cruel, and have no place in the modern world. It is my own opinion that zoos, although not perfect, do have a useful function.Firstly, zoos are places of education. Zoos can help children to appreciate nature. Further more, research into animal behavior is done in zoos, and has increased on knowledges of zoology, genetics and even psycology. Above all, zoos can protect the future of many species of animal. Many species today are in danger of extinction, and thanks to zoos, they have a chance of survival.Opponents of zoos say that they are cruel. First of all, they argue, zoos can not recreate the environment in which animals live and because of this, animals are bored and depressed. Secondly, animals have frequent contact with human visitors. Which can be stressful?However, in my opinion, most zoos have improved recently. It is now quite rare to see animals in cages, and most zoos try hard to recreate the environment in which different animals live.In conclusion, although zoos are not perfect environment for animals, I believe that they have more advantages than disadvantages. In an ideal world, zoos would not be necessary. But as long as man hunts animals for profit and destroy their environments, zoos are essential.14: What is the most important function of zoos according to the speaker?15: Why are some people against zoos?16: What does the speaker think of zoos?W: Good morning, I'd like to rent a family car, please.M: Yes, man, for how long?W: Em, 14 days.M: Where do you want to leave the car?W: Can I leave it at the downtown office?M: Sure, may I see your driver's license?W: I have an international driver's license.M: Fine, thank you.W: Now, do you want a personal accident insurance?M: Yes, please.W: Right, can you sign your name here?M: There you go!W: How do you want to pay?M: Cash please.21-24M: In England today, are schools mixed, or single sex?W: Well, there are both. 50 years ago, all schools used to be single sex. I mean, girls only or boys only. Then in the 1970s, many schools changed and became mixed.M: Do parents still prefer mixed schools?W: No, things have changed. Today, many parents, especially parents of girls, think their children get a better education in single sex schools.M: Why do girls do better at single sex schools?W: Because girls learn to be more self-confident and less worried about their appearance.M: What about boys?W: Well, today many parents of boys want to send them to mixed schools. They think that the girls will be a positive influence on boys.M: So generally speaking, who does better at mixed schools?W: Oh, the girls. They get better exam results than boys.。
