三、阅读理解 (共3题；共24分)

22. （10分）阅读理解

Katie 82

When I was a teenager, I was more responsible than today's teenagers. After school, I had to do lots of jobs at home. My parents were really angry when I didn't do my chores. Today's teenagers are

lazier. They come home from school and then play computer games for the rest of the day.

Sarah 45

Young people nowadays aren't better or worse than young people in the past. Teenagers today have the same problems that we did. They're worried about finding their own identity(身份) and their own place in the world. I once read this quotation: “Children nowadays just love the easy life. They're bad mannered, have no respect for authority or for older people, and they make their teachers mad.” Do you know who said that? It was Socrates（苏格拉底）. He lived about 2,400 years ago.

Patty 52

In the media, they always say that teenagers have easy life. They say they're lazy and irresponsible. But I work with young people and lots of them are responsible and hard-working. I also meet teenagers who are opposite. Isn't it the same with adults? Perhaps teenagers have more money now. And they have lots of modern gadgets like MP3 players. But those things don't always make life easier or make you happier!

Ned 23

Who says teenagers have an easy life? Exams are harder now than in the past. It's more difficult to get a job so your marks need to be higher. The media make us worry about our appearance nowadays too; so a lot of teenagers aren't happy. They think they should be taller or thinner, like the people they see on TV. Maybe the problems are different from the past. But that doesn't make life easier. It's probably the opposite!

（1）Who thinks teenagers nowadays have a harder life than teenagers in the past?

A . Katie

B . Sarah

C . Patty

D . Ned

（2）What does the underline word “opposite” mean in Paragraph 3?

A . irresponsible and lazy

B . responsible and hard-working

C . lazy and responsible

D . hard-working and irresponsible

（3）What's the meaning of “quotation” in Paragraph 2 ?

A . 报价单

B . 谚语

C . 引用语

D . 成语

（4）Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A . Katie thinks she was less responsible than today’s teenagers.

B . Sarah thinks teenagers today have the same problems that they did.

C . Patty thinks young people today are lazy and irresponsible..

D . Ned thinks teenagers have an easy life.

（5）The best title is ___________.

A . What is life like for teenagers today?

B . How was life for teenagers in the past?

C . What do teenagers today do?

D . Is life easier for teenagers today?

23. （8分） It's good to make mistakes, and here is why.

First of all, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things. It's always good to try new things because when you are trying new things you are growing. If you never try anything new, how can you improve? How can you make yourself stronger? The simple answer is “You can't.” Look around you. With very few exceptions(例外), either everything you see in your world or every single detail of every single thing is the result of someone trying something new．

Another good thing about mistakes is this: When you are making mistakes, you are learning．Consider this: Edison failed 10,000 times before he perfected the light bulb. When asked how it felt to fail that many times, he said that he hadn't failed 10,000 times, but rather had learned 10,000 things that didn't work．

Finally, when you make a mistake you are much closer to success. Why? Because when all is said and done, you will have tried some numbers of things before you succeed．Every time you make a mistake, you eliminate one of those things and are one step closer. But this all doesn't mean that you should go ahead without considering the consequences(后果) of a mistake. However, when you try something new you have to be willing to set some reasonable limits（限度） so that in the event that it doesn't work out the way you want it to, you will be in a normal place to try again．

We all have limited time and money so don't blow them all on one problem. Realize that it probably won't be perfect the first time and deal with these resources(资源) properly so you can learn, make corrections, and try it again．If you accept and use your mistakes in this way ,you can make great progress in your business and your career．

There is an old saying that goes, “If you're not making mistakes, you're not trying hard enough.”

So go ahead and make mistakes. And learn. And grow. And succeed．

（1）From the second paragraph, we can know that _______．

A . mistakes are unnecessary for development

B . we are afraid of trying new thing

C . it's common for people to make mistakes

D . mistakes are better than not trying

（2）The underlined word “eliminate” means _______．

A . study

B . remove

C . accept

D . solve

（3）According to the article, one thing you should pay attention to about making mistakes is_____．

A . not making the same mistakes

B . accepting the punishment willingly

C . taking consequences into consideration

D . trying things out one by one

（4）What would the writer probably suggest we say to ourselves when we make a mistake?

A . Never mind, I can always try again

B . I'd better stay out of trouble．

C . Ok! Now I can learn something．

D . Look at this mess. Anyone would be sad．

24. （6分） In choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair-weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities(品质) of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability(可靠).

Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person's place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.

At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults(过错) in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me.

Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.

There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially

like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experiences and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor, too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.

When I meet someone who is reliable, honest and understanding, I know I've found a friend!

（1）Which of the following qualities the writer thinks is the most important in choosing a friend?

A . Understanding.

B . Honesty

C . Reliability.

D . A sense of humor.

（2）If you have fair-weather friends, __________.

A . you will become rich

B . you can be sure that you get real friends

C . you will be refused when you get into trouble

D . they will give you all that they have when you need help

（3）This passage mainly discusses _________.

A . the qualities of a friend

B . how to get along with friends

C . the importance of having a friend

D . the importance of the qualities of a friend

2019九年级英语上期中考试题(有答案)

A A few years ago, I worked at a church(教堂) and since my son was home schooling, he went with me to the church every day. Most mornings, we’d stop at a local convenience store, getting a chocolate drink for him and a cup of coffee for me. The clerk at the store we chose to visit refreshed our lives each day, and so we returned again and again. She had found her own way of enjoying life and her job. I’m not even sure that she was realizing that her energy put a smile on the face of each customer. When a customer brought cookies to the counter, any other clerk could have asked: “Would you like some milk with those cookies? ”Instead, she inquired,“Would you like a lottery ticket(彩票) with those cookies?” She might have asked me if I wanted a donut with my coffee. But instead, she asked: “Would you like some batteries(电池) with that coffee?” Yes, life is what you make of it. This clerk’s method of dealing with what some think is a boring job, and with the customers she met daily, made the hours in her day more enjoyable. In doing that, she also refreshed the lives of others and made them laugh. Sometimes, if my day at the church had been particularly tiring, we’d stop at that store before heading home. We’d giggle (咯咯笑) as we left the store, the clerk’s words echoing (回响) behind us. “Would you like some shampoo with that soda?” 16. What did the writer do a few years ago? A. She was a teacher in a school. B. She was an office worker. C. She was a doctor in a hospital. D. She was a worker at a church. 17. When did the writer and her son usually stop at the local store? A. In the morning B. At noon C. In the afternoon D. In the evening. 18. Why did the writer and her son usually stop at the local store? A. Because the drinks were delicious there. B. Because the food was cheap there C. Because they felt happy there D. Because there was only store 19.what was the clerk like? A. She was serious.

But those programs －though some remain popular －increasingly occupy fringe times slots on foreign networks. Instead, a growing number of shows produced by local broadcasters are on the air at the best times. The shift counters longstanding assumptions that TV shows produced in the United States would continue to overshadow locally produced shows from Singapore to Sicily. The changes are coming at a time when the influence of the United States on international affairs has annoyed friends and foes alike, and some people are expressing relief that at least on television American culture is no longer quite the force it once was. “There has always been a concern that the image of the world would be shaped too much by American culture,” said Dr. Jo Groebek, director general of the European Institu te for the Media, a non-profit group. Given the choice, he adds, foreign viewers often prefer homegrown shows that better reflect local tastes, cultures and historical events. Unlike in the United States, commercial broadcasting in most regions of the world －including Asia, Europe, and a lesser extent Latin America, which has a long history of commercial TV －is a relatively recent development. A majority of broadcasters in many countries were either state-owned or state-subsidized for much of the last century. Governments began to relax their control in the 1980’s by privatizing national broadcasters and granting licenses to dozens of new commercial networks. The rise of cable and satellite pay-television increased the spectrum of channels. Relatively inexperienced and often financed on a shoestring, these new commercial stations needed hours of programming fast. The cheapest and easiest way to fill airtime was to buy shows from American studios, and the bidding wars for popular shows were fierce. The big American studios took advantage of that demand by raising prices and forcing foreign broadcasters to buy less popular programs if they wanted access to the best-selling shows and movies. “The studio priced themselves out of prime time,” said Harry Evans Sloan, chairman of SBS Broadcasting, a Pan-European broadcaster. Mr. Sloan estimates that over the last decade, the price of American programs has increased fivefold even as the international ratings for these shows have declined. American broadcasters are still the biggest buyers of American-made television shows, accounting for 90% of the $25 billion in 2001 sales. But international sales which totaled $2.5 billion last year often make the difference between a profit and a loss on show. As the pace of foreign sales slows －the market is now growing at 5% a year, down from the double-digit growth of the 1990’s －studio executives are rethinking production costs. 6. Which of the following best characterizes the image embodied in American shows? A. Self-contradictory B. Prejudice-free C. Culture-loaded D. Audience-targeted 7. The intervention of governments in the 1980’s resulted in __________ . A. the patenting of domination shows and movies B. the emergence of new commercial networks C. the promotion of cable and satellite pay-television D. the intense competition coming from the outside 8. The phrase “on a shoestring” (Para. 6) most probably means __________. A. in need of capital B. after a fashion C. on second thoughts D. in the interests of themselves 9. The main reason why American dramas and sitcoms are driven out of prime time is that ____. A. they lose competitiveness B. they are not market-oriented C. they are too much priced D. they fall short of audience expectations 10. American studio producers will give thought to production costs __________. A. if they have no access to popular shows B. because their endeavors come to no avail C. since bidding wars are no longer fierce D. as international sales pace slows down Passage Three How shops can exploit people's herd mentality to increase sales 1. A TRIP to the supermarket may not seem like an exercise in psychological warfare—but it is. Shopkeepers know that filling a store with the aroma of freshly baked bread makes people feel hungry and persuades them to buy more food than they had intended. Stocking the most expensive products at eye level makes them sell faster than cheaper but less visible competitors. Now researchers are investigating how “swarm intelligence” (th at is，how ants，bees or any social animal，including humans，behave in a crowd) can be used to influence what people buy. 2. At a recent conference on the simulation of adaptive behaviour in Rome，Zeeshan-ul-hassan Usmani，a computer scientist from the Florida Institute of Technology，described a new way to increase impulse buying using this phenomenon. Supermarkets already encourage shoppers to buy things they did not realise they wanted: for instance，by placing everyday items such as milk and eggs at the back of the store，forcing shoppers to walk past other tempting goods to reach them. Mr Usmani and Ronaldo Menezes，also of the Florida Institute of Technology, set out to enhance this tendency to buy more by playing on the herd instinct. The idea is that, if a certain product is seen to be popular, shoppers are likely to choose it too. The challenge is to keep customers informed about what others are buying. 3. Enter smart-cart technology. In Mr Usmani's supermarket every product has a radio frequency identification tag, a sort of barcode that uses radio waves to transmit information，and every trolley has a scanner that reads this information and relays it to a central computer. As a customer walks past a shelf of goods, a screen on the shelf tells him how many people currently in the shop have chosen that particular product. If the number is high, he is more likely to select it too.
