九年级英语 2023.11 （时间：90分钟 满分：110分） 一、阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Tim: Can you tell me how to find some books in the library? Mary: Sure. You see all these little drawers around the walls? Tim: Yes. Mary: These drawers contain cards describing every book in our library. Together they constitute (构成) the library’s “card catalog (目录)”. You can see that each drawer runs from one part of the alphabet (字母) to another. For example, this drawer goes from SCA to SCM. Tim: So if I’m looking for a book called A History of Western Society, I’d just look under “A”. Mary: No. You’d look under “W”. The articles “a” and “the” don’t include in our alphabetization, and cards are generally omitted (省略) for very common words and phrases such as “history of”, “introduction of”, “adventures of” and so on. Tim: What if I don’t know the title of the book? Mary: Then you can look under the writer’s name. Tim: Could you give me an example? Mary: If you want to find a book by your professor, William Smith. You’d look under SMITH and then William. Since that’s a very common name, you may have to go through several “William Smith” until you find the one who writes the book on the subject you are interested in. Tim: OK. I have a try. Thank you very much. Mary: You are welcome 1. How many ways to find books are mentioned in the passage? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 2. Which alphabet will you use to find the book The adventures of Dingding? A. T. B. A. C. O. D. D. 3. If you don’t know the title of the book what can you do to find the book in the library? A. Look for information on the Internet. B. Ask the teachers or classmates for help. C. You can look under the writer’s name. D. You can look under the professor’s name. B In the village of Liuke in China, houses are built with dark bricks and red windows. They stand quietly among tall and green trees. Many tourists have come to Liuke village to enjoy its natural beauty and rich culture. “This is just beautiful,” says Zhao Mingzhuo, a tourist from east China’s Zhejiang Province. “The kids get to enjoy the fields here, the old enjoy the quiet environment, and the young people can go camping. It’s quite a good experience here.” Liuke is one of the ancient villages that lie beside the Wanquan River in Hainan. The Wanquan River is 163 kilometres long and flows through an area of more than 3,600 square kilometres. A classic Chinese folk song sings in praise of the clear water of the river. And in recent years the Wanquan River has become a calling card for Hainan, thanks to its rich stories and history. In the old days, when villagers needed to travel to other villages, they had to pass by this village. Gradually, the village became a stopover (中转站), so it got its name, Liuke. In recent years, the local government has worked hard to attract tourists to the village. Many sightseeing programs have been set up. Now the village has not only attracted tourists, but also helped villagers stay. In this way, the village can develop more quickly. 4. What attracts tourists to the village of Liuke? A. The Wanquan River. B. The rapid developments. C. The houses with different colours. D. The natural beauty and rich culture. 5. How do most people probably know about the Wanquan River? A. By the village of Liuke. B. By the local government. C. By the folk song. D. By tourists’ introductions. 6. Where can you probably read the passage? A. A travel magazine. B. A diary. C. A story book. D. A report. 7. What’s the best title of this passage? A. A good experience in Like B. An ancient village—Liuke C. A sightseeing programme in Like D. Wanquan River—a calling card for Hainan C It seems that the Earth is in a season of volcanic eruptions (火山喷发) recently. Mauna Loa, the biggest active volcano in the world, erupted in Hawaii on 27 November, 2022, and lasted for two weeks, firing out lava (熔岩) 60 meters high in the air. Indonesia’s Mount Semeru erupted on 4 December. Volcanoes in Mexico and Guatemala also erupted. Nearly 2,000 people living nearby moved out of the area. The volcanoes mentioned above have one thing in common: they are all located in the Ring of Fire, or the Circum-Pacific Belt (环太平洋). This is a 40,000-kilometre path along the Pacific Ocean. Seventy-five percent of the Earth’s volcanoes are located along this path. Ninety percent of the Earth’s earthquakes also happen there. Volcanic eruptions and earthquakes in the Ring of Fire are caused by the active movement of tectonic plates (地壳板块). The plates push against each other and cause the rocks to melt and become magma (岩浆). When too much magma gathers underground, it needs to find a way out, releasing lava at temperatures of 800℃ to 1,000℃. Some volcanic eruptions are explosive (爆炸性的) and others are not. This depends on the magma. If magma is thin and runny, gases in it can get out easily. Then the magma just flows out slowly, giving people enough time to go away. If magma is thick and sticky, gases can not escape easily. Pressure builds up until the gases escape violently and explode. This type of eruption can be dangerous. The ash (灰) that erupts into the sky can suffocate plants, animals, and humans. 8. How many areas are mentioned to prove that “the Earth is in a season of volcanic eruptions”? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 9. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The similarity of the volcanoes. B. The number of the earth’s volcanoes. C The reasons of the volcanic eruptions. D. The information about the Pacific Ocean. 10. What does the underlined word “violently” in the last paragraph mean in English? A. Slowly. B. Strongly. C. Easily. D. Gently. 11. What can we know according to the text? A. All volcanoes are located in the Ring of Fire. B. Volcanoes only erupt in November or December. C. Volcanic eruptions have no effect on people living nearby. D. The movement of tectonic plates may cause some natural disasters. D When holding a party, people usually want to invite some friends and relatives. But do you know how to write a party invitation? Writing a party invitation is an art. There are some important things when you prepare an invitation. In fact, it’s easier to write an invitation than you think. It just takes some practice. ____12____ It’s strange to receive an invitation without knowing the host (主人).

The story took place during World War I. Hanny, an engineer, goes back to England from south Africa. During his return, he fights bravely against the German spy in order to prevent the secret data from being stolen by the enemy. In the end, Hanny succeeds in sending the data to the British government safely. This story shows us how brave Hanny is in the fight, which teaches us no matter how dangerous it is, the safety and the benefit of our motherland must be put ahead of anything. We should learn from him. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
