Many students jumped up to 33 the teacher and left the classroom. The teacher looked at the 34 students and said, ―Does anyone else want to get a B? This is your last 35 . ‖ Two more students decided to go.

第一节，阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。

A

My problems started after I went to a boarding school. I was only 14, and at first I missed my family a lot. I often called them and cried on the phone. But after two weeks, I found I enjoyed being with my classmates at school.

I had many friends who were boys. I thought of them as my best friends – but only friends. I never guessed my friendships with boys would become a problem.

Then, three months later, my friends told me that some teachers and girls said I was hanging out with boys all day long in order to get attention from them. Seven months after that, the head teacher Mr. Wang asked the class to choose some students to join the Student Union. I thought I could win for I was doing well in school. I’d already won prizes for the best math and English exams. A week later, the list came out and it didn’t include me. I was sad.

Mr. Wang came to me and said, ―Don’t be sad. I know you’re excellent! Maybe you’re a little distant from the girls in our class. They don’t know much about you, so some of them didn’t choose you. It doesn’t matter. Do your best to get along well with everyone and I think you’ll make it next time.‖

46. What was the writer’s problem when she first entered the boarding school? A. She didn’t like her new school.

B. She didn’t get along well with her classmates. C. She missed her family very much. D. She didn’t like her new teacher.

47. Many of the writer’s friends in her new school were _______.

九年级英语期中试卷 第 4 页 共 12 页

A. teachers B. boys C. girls D. women 48. Why did the writer fail to join the Student Union?

A. Her teachers didn’t like her. B. She was a poor student. C. Some girls didn’t choose her. D. She likes showing off herself. 49. The underlined word ―distant‖ means ―______‖ in Chinese.

A. 疏远的 B. 有进取心的 C. 热心的 D. 无理的 50. Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage? A. The writer won prizes for the best science and English exams.

B. The writer didn’t realize that her friendships with boys would cause problems. C. The writer was sad because she failed to join the Student Union. D. The teacher thought she was an excellent student.

B

Every morning my father buys a copy of newspaper on his way to work. Every day I open my books in class and start my lessons. Every evening my mother looks through magazines at home. And every night, I look at the posters with photos of David Beckham and Lady Gaga on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep. Can we imagine life without paper or print（印刷）?

Paper was first created about 2,000 years ago, and has been made from silk, cotton, bamboo, and, since the 19th century, from wood. People learned to write words on paper to make a book. But in those days, books could only be produced one at a time by hand. As a result, they were expensive and rare(稀有). And because there weren't many books, few people learned to read.

Then printing was invented in China. The first printed books were made by putting ink on a wooden block and holding the paper against it. When printing was developed greatly at the beginning of the 11th century, books could be produced more quickly and cheaply. As a result, more people learned to read. After that, knowledge and ideas spread quickly, in a way that can be compared with the invention of the Internet in the 20th century.

But will books be needed in the future? Today information can be received online, downloaded from the Internet rather than found in books, and information can be kept on CD-ROMs or machines such as MP3 players. These machines are smaller and lighter than books so that they can be carried very easily.

Computers are already used in classrooms, and newspapers and magazines can already be read online. So will books be replaced(替换) by computers one day? No, I don't think the David Beckham poster on my bedroom wall will ever be replaced by a computer two meters high! You can see fewer and fewer people in the library. But I don't know if that will come true.

51. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. The first printed books were made by holding the paper before it.

九年级英语期中试卷 第 5 页 共 12 页

B. Books have been produced more quickly and cheaply since the 19th century C. Paper has been made from silk, cotton and wood since 2,000 years ago. D. Before the 11th century, books were not easy to be produced. 52. The underlined word spread means ______. A. blow about

B. pick up

C. give up

D. care about

53. It can be inferred(推断) from the text that _______.

A. the writer thinks it’s necessary for the computers to replace the books. B. all the people will use computers instead of books. C. the writer is sure books will disappear some day

D. the writer thinks it’s difficult to tell if computers will replace the books 54. ________ are NOT mentioned in the passage. A. The development of printing

B. The inventor of printing

C. The country where printing was invented D. Ways of printing 55. What’s the best title of the passage?

A. Can Books Be Replaced by Computers? B. Books are less useful than computers C. Printing is important D. Printing has developed quickly

第二节：在日常生活中，我们总会遇到大大小小的意外，学会一定的自救和急救时非常有必要的。请仔细阅读第56—60题中所描述的救护方法，从A到F的六幅图片中，选出符合题意的最佳选项，其中一项为多余选项。

56. When a person is bitten by an animal, wash the wound with cold running water first. Then get an injection in the hospital as soon as possible to be sure you are fine.

57. When a person is burnt, wash and cool the area of the skin under the cold area for a while. Then put a piece of dry clean cloth over the burn. If the person is badly burnt, take him/ her to the doctor.

58. When a person stops breathing, do your best to start his/her breathing at once, using a mouth to mouth way is very useful. The person must be laid on his/ her back, take the air in and then breath out.

59. If a person is hurt by something sharp, clean it and put a piece of clean cloth round the cut. Keep on pressing the hurt until it stops bleeding.

60. When there is a fire, it’s very dangerous to take the lifts, because the lift is easily broken down.

They are called the moral vegetable gardens. Children go there to buy what they want. Each time they only need some one-Euro coins because the vegetables there are cheap.

These gardens are built between buildings or on the top of the buildings. In the

gardens, some fresh vegetables are grown by adults but some vegetables are just bought from the market and are stuck in the soil. There are no people selling vegetables. There is only a board with price beside each kind of vegetable, so children can get the vegetables they want by themselves and put the money in the box there. It's just like the fare box on the bus where people put money when getting on the bus. It's said that the vegetables there haven't been lost so far.

By buying vegetables in this kind of gardens, on the one hand, children can learn

more about how vegetables are grown and be more interested in nature. On the other hand, this can teach children to be honest from the young age, so it's not hard to understand why German products are famous for its high quality.
