I looked to the east—the sky was becoming grey. I got out of the car, went through a gate and walked along a dark path. There was nothing to see, but I knew it was there. After about a mile, a stranger appeared beside the path. “Am I going the right way?” I asked.

Suddenly, the rain stopped and the clouds cleared. The sun rose behind me and shone on the rocks. Far below me, the ground fell away and down to a river. I was looking across one of the wonders of the natural world—the Grand Canyon. I looked down to the Colorado River, a silver stream nearly one mile below me. If you put the two tallest buildings in the world on top of each other at the bottom of the canyon, they still would not reach the top. Then I looked across to the other side of the canyon. It was about fifteen miles away, maybe more. Finally, I looked to my left and to my right, and on both sides the canyon went far away for more than 200 miles. The Grand Canyon was not just big.

Someone who is born today can expect to live about thirty-five years longer than someone who was born in the nineteenth century. (A) In the future more and more people will celebrate their hundredth birthdays. Here are five rules for a healthy life. It’s comfortable to sit on the sofa and watch TV. But doctors say you should get off the sofa. To keep fit, you have to walk at least 10, 000 steps every day. In the past, people’s job requires more physical effort. They often had to walk for miles every day. When farmers were working in the fields, they were keeping fit at the same time. Think about it: Do you get the same amount of exercise today as they did in the past? It is important to eat food that is fresh and natural, for example, fruit and vegetables. Eating too much of the wrong food will harm your health. （B）快餐是不健康的。You should only have it once in a while. When we were babies, we slept for much of the night. Teenagers do not need as much sleep as babies, but it is important for you to get about eight hours’ sleep a night. At weekends, you have got more time, so use it not just for your friends, but for rest too. Many people believe that happiness is important for our general health. Sometimes it is not easy to be a teenager because of the difficulties of school exams or friendships. If you are worried about something, talk to your parents or your teacher. Smoking is not cool. It’s dangerous. It harms nearly every part of your body. Think about how your family and friends will feel, and think about what it will do to your health. 46. 请从文中找出所给句子的同义句： Sitting on the sofa and watching TV are comfortable ___________________________________ 47. 请将文中（A）句翻译成汉语。 ___________________________________ 48. 请将文中（B）句翻译成英语。 ___________________________________ 49. 文中划线“it”指代什么? ___________________________________ 50. Why is it sometimes difficult to be a teenager? ___________________________________ 【答案】46. It’s comfortable to sit on the sofa and watch TV. 47. 将来会有越来越多的人将庆祝他们的百岁生日。 48. Fast food is not healthy. 49. Smoking. 50. Because of the difficulties of school exams or friendships. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何保持健康的五个建议。 【46题详解】 根据“It’s comfortable to sit on the sofa and watch TV.”可知，坐在沙发上看电视是非常舒服的，与题干句子“坐在沙发上看电视是很舒服的。”同义。故填It’s comfortable to sit on the sofa and watch TV. 【47题详解】 分析句子可知，本句为一般将来时的陈述句，翻译为“……会有……”。In the future翻译为“将来”；more and more people翻译为“越来越多的人”；will celebrate翻译为“将庆祝”；their hundredth birthday翻译为“他们的百岁生日。”故填“将来会有越来越多的人将庆祝他们的百岁生日。” 【48题详解】 分析句子可知，本句为一般现在时的陈述句。“快餐”翻译为fast food，作主语，位于句首，首字母要大写；主语fast food为不可数名词，因此谓语动词“是”翻译为is；“不健康”翻译为形容词healthy。故填Fast food is not healthy. 【49题详解】 根据“Smoking is not cool.”可知这一段主要说明抽烟并不酷，也列举了抽烟的危害，因此此处的it指代“抽烟”smoking。故填Smoking。 【50题详解】 根据“Sometimes it is not easy to be a teenager because of the difficulties of school exams or friendships.”可知，因为学校的考试或交友方面的难题，作为一名青少年有时实属不易。故填Because of the difficulties of school exams or friendships. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 九年级(上)英语开学考测试题 一、完形填空（每小题2分） A Norman Bethune is one of China’s most famous heroes, but he wasn’t Chinese — he was Canadian.
