2024-2025学年度第一学期期中考试卷 九年级英语 (时间:90 分钟 分值:100分) 一、阅读理解。(40分) A In developed countries in the world, some have a large population. For example, there are about 56 million people in the United Kingdom. This is a large population for such a small country. But there are few people in large parts of the country. Most of the population is crowded into the big cities and industrial areas. About 90% of the people live in cities and towns. Only about 10% live in the countryside. Today very few people— less than 2% of the people are farmers and farm workers. England has the most people in the United Kingdom. About 46 million live in England. Of these, about 14 million people live in London and the southeast. London is now a city of about 7 million people. Most of Scotland's population live in the middle part. The mountains in the north and the south have a very small popu- lation. Less than 3 million people live in Wales. There are only about one and a half million people in Northern Ireland, and one third around the big industrial city of Belfast. ( )1. The United Kingdom .

Many new things have appeared in our daily life. These make our life more convenient and make our communications more flexible. For example, computers are very important to modern life. Some people hardly go to the shop in their spare time but they buy things on the Internet instead. Because they think the price of different kinds of clothes or liv- ing things is lower than that in shopping centers and huge markets. What's more, their qualities are the same. At the same time, people can watch movies by the Internet instead of going to the cinema. People living or working in different places can see and talk with each other by computers, too. Some people are glad about these new ways of shopping and communicating. Another example, computers can help us improve our reading a lot. Some people needn't read books made of paper. Instead, they read them on small pocket computers because the computers can keep many different books in them at the same time. They don't need to turn lots of pages and paper is saved as well. More and more electronic books are being used. ( )6. From the second paragraph we can know that computers are used for .

The population growth has caused many problems such as the traffic problem. Every country has different methods to solve this problem. For example, in London, traffic has become a main prob- lem because of a large population. The government has decided to have a bike revolution(革命) in order to solve this problem. It has planned to provide 6,000 bikes and encourage local people to ride bikes. Although there are not enough bikes, an official said that they would take some measures to deal with such a shortage. Local people can get these bikes at special docking stations(停靠站). More than 12,450 keys have already be handed out to the local people, but only 6,000 keys can be used now. The cost you need to pay is low. One key costs 3, and you can spend 1 one hour using the bike. The official from the government said they also had to face a lot of problems. For example, perhaps some bikes can be stolen. But they would try their best to solve all the problems in order to make the bike revolution successful. ( )11.

People can get these bikes at special docking stations. C. People need to pay 4 for the key of the bike. D. The official from the government said none of the bikes is stolen. ( )15. The passage can tell us . A. the different means of transportation in London B. how the docking stations were built in London C. some different ways to solve the problem D. the bike revolution in London D Education is very important for the development of China. 16 China has the largest population in the world and most of them live in the countryside. 17 Especially in areas far from big cities, they can't afford to send their children to school. 18 Project Hope is aimed at solving this problem so that every child of school age can receive a regular education. Project Hope mainly depends on the contributions of the kind-hearted people and overseas Chinese who care about the development of China's education. The given money will be handed out by Project Hope council(委员会) to the countryside to help the children who can't afford the education. Maybe one hundred yuan is not much for you. 19 Project Hope is a good way to improve the education in poor areas, but it isn't enough. 20 So I suggest that all the people pay more attention to the problem and make a contribution to help improve the educational level of the country. 根据材料内容,从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项,使短文意思通顺,内容完整。 A. But one hundred yuan will help such a child finish his primary education. B. Many children have to stop going to school. C. So far, only a small part of the children have benefited(受益) from it. D.
