2024-2025学年第二学期第一次学情调研 九年级英语试题 （全卷共140分，时间90分钟） 一、选择填空（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分） 1. The main ________ of the cities along the Grand Canal (大运河) is history and culture. A. attraction B. pollution C. invention D. situation 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：大运河沿岸城市最吸引人的地方是历史和文化。 考查名词辨析。attraction有吸引力的特征；pollution污染；invention发明；situation情况。根据“the Grand Canal (大运河) is history and culture.”可知，是指大运河沿岸城市的历史和文化很吸引人，故选A。 2. — Which hobby do you think ________ less time, painting or reading? — It's hard to say. It depends. A. takes off B. takes up C. takes out D. takes in 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你认为哪一种爱好占用的时间更少，绘画还是阅读？——这很难说。视情况而定。 考查动词短语。take off起飞；take up占用，占据；take out取出，除去；take in吸收。根据“less time”可知，应该是占用时间，故选B。 3. It's important for us ___________ good manners. A. having B. have C. to have D. had 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：良好的举止对我们来说重要。 考查非谓语动词。It's important for sb. to do sth.表示“做某事对某人来说重要”。it为形式主语，真正的主语为后面的不定式。故答案选C。 【点睛】在it固定句型中，除了要知道it用作形式主语，不定式作真正主语外，还要掌握sb.前面介词for/of的用法。在“It is + adj. + for sb. to do sth.”与“It is + adj. + of sb. to do sth.”两个句型中，介词用for还是of应根据作表语的形容词的词义特点和说话人的侧重而定。当形容词是说明不定式的特性时，要用介词for，也就是说不定式（短语）与形容词在逻辑上存在“主语和表语”的关系。例如：It's important for us to stay healthy. （保持身体健康对我们来说很重要。） (本句子中的important说明的是to stay healthy的特性，即句子侧重的是说“To stay healthy is important.”) 注意：与介词for搭配的往往是表示事物的特性的形容词，如important、necessary、difficult、easy、hard、possible等。 当形容词是说明不定式的逻辑主语的特性时，要用of，也就是说不定式的逻辑主语sb.和形容词在逻辑上存在“主语和表语”的关系。例如：It's kind of you to help me.（你帮助我真是太好了。）（句中的kind是用来说明you的特征，即句子侧重说得是“You are kind.”） 4. —Have you decided _______ to Xi’ an? —Yes. I’ll go there by train. It’s much cheaper than by plane. A. when to go B. where to go C. how to go D. who to go 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你决定怎么去西安了吗？——是的。我将乘火车去那里。这比坐飞机便宜多了。 考查特殊疑问词。when to go什么时候去；where to go去哪里；how to go如何去；who to go和谁去。根据答句“I’ll go there by train.”可知，问句是询问交通方式。故选C。 5. China's high-speed railways _____ from 9,000 to 29,000 kilometres in the past few years. A. are growing B. were growing C. will grow D. have grown 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：中国的高速铁路在过去几年中由9000千米增加到29000千米。 考查动词时态。A. are growing 现在进行时；B. were growing 过去进行时；C. will grow 一般将来时；D. have grown 现在完成时。“in the last/past +一段时间”用于现在完成时态的句子中。由“in the past few years”可知此处应用现在完成时态。故选D。 6. The possibility that there is life on other planets has always encouraged scientists to _______ the outer space. A. invitation B. explore C. order D. advice 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：其他星球上存在生命的可能性一直激励着科学家们去探索外太空。 考查名词和动词辨析。invitation邀请，名词；explore探索，动词；order命令，动词；advice建议，名词。根据“the outer space”可知，“探索外太空” 是非常常见的表达，符合“其他星球上存在生命的可能性一直鼓励着科学家去探索外太空”这一语境。故选B。 7. Hello, Joe. I didn't _________ to see you today. I thought you were away on holiday. A. want B. prepare C. expect D. agree 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：你好，乔。我没预料到今天会看到你。我以为你出去度假了。 考查动词辨析。want 想要；prepare 准备；expect 预料，预计；agree 同意。由“I thought you were away on holiday.”可知问句表示“没有想到会见到你”。expect符合句意。故选C。 8. I learnt to swim when I was six. I ___________ by my mother. A. am taught B. was taught C. will be taught D. have taught 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：我六岁时学习游泳，是我妈妈教我的。 考查动词时态及语态。A. am taught 一般现在时的被动语态；B. was taught 一般过去时的被动语态；C. will be taught 一般将来时的被动语态；D. have taught 现在完成时的主动语态。由“when I was six”可知要用过去时态，主语为I，是teach动作的接受者，因此谓语应用过去式的被动语态。故答案选B。 【点睛】被动语态的构成为“be + 过去分词”。在不同的时态中，过去分词保持不变，而be动词随着时态有不同的变化。初中英语教材中主要出现了五种时态的被动语态及带有情态动词的被动语态。 (1) 一般现在时被动语态的构成：助动词am/is/are + 动词的过去分词. English is spoken in many countries. (2) 一般过去时被动语态的构成：助动词was/were + 动词的过去分词. Was this novel written by his father? (3) 一般将来时被动语态的构成：will/is (are) going to + be + 动词的过去分词. The baby will be taken good care of in the hospital. (4) 现在完成时被动语态的构成：助动词have/has + been + 动词的过去分词. Has his work been finished? (5) 现在进行时被动语态的构成：am/is/are + being + 动词的过去分词. The problem is being discussed by the students. (6)带有情态动词的被动语态的 构成：情态动词 + be + 动词的过去分词. Your composition must be handed in tomorrow. 9. —Does Aunt Jane enjoy ____________? —Yes, She has three dogs, two cats, four birds, and some goldfish in her house. A. keeping pets B. collecting dolls C. visiting the zoo D. working on the farm 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——简阿姨喜欢养宠物吗？ ——是的。她家里有三只狗、两只猫、四只鸟和一些金鱼。 考查上下文语境。A. keeping pets 养宠物；B. collecting dolls 收集布娃娃；C. visiting the zoo 参观动物园；D. working on the farm 农场工作。根据答语可知，简阿姨家里有很多宠物，因此问句应该提问“简阿姨喜欢养宠物吗？”故选A。 10. —Sorry, ___________. What do you mean by saying "look out"? —I asked you "to be careful", not "to look outside". A. I can't hear you B. I can't see clearly C. I don't notice you D. I don't follow you 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——抱歉，我没有明白你的意思。你说“look out”是什么意思？——我是让你“小心”，不是让你“看外面”。 考查情景交际。I can't hear you 听不到你说什么；I can't see clearly 我看不清楚；I don't notice you 我没注意到你；I don't follow you 我没有明白你的意思。根据答语的意思可知，问句表示没有理解“look out”的意思。故答案选D。 二、完形填空（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分） Mr. Wu is an English teacher.

I'm clever at high flying exercises. I jump from spaceships and as I fall, I turn, dive, circle and dance until I softly land as close as I can to the finishing line. Robot competitions in the 23rd century are truly a popular sport. Fans from all over China watch their hand-held TVs when a competition comes on. Last time I took part in the 78th Olympics and I won the silver medal for my performance. This year I was very proud to be chosen again. I wanted to meet robots from other countries and explore ideas about our sport. However, my programmer fell ill the week before we were leaving. It was very painful for her and I felt very scared. I didn't feel so confident that I would win. The day of the competition was rather cold for my legs and my special oil began to freeze. I stopped for a moment (which I shouldn't) before I jumped from the starting place on a little spaceship, then I began my performance. At the correct moment I tried to open my parachute (降落伞) but there was a problem. It only opened a little. I began to fall faster and faster so that I could not turn, dive, circle or dance. My heart stopped beating as I landed heavily on a mountain covered with snow. This is why I am writing to you from my hospital bed with two broken legs and a weak head. I did not win anything at the Olympics after all. I need the factory to build me two new legs and an even bigger head. Then I will be able to compete once more. Let's hope for greater success in the next Olympics! 29 Wei Hua finished _________ in the 78th Olympics high flying sport. A. first B. second C. third D. fourth 30.

How is Wei Hua feeling now? A. Full of hope. B. Unsure about himself. C. Heart-broken. D. Satisfied with his result this year. 【答案】29. B 30. A 31. C 32. A 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。短文叙述了23世纪的机器人Wei Hua两次参加机器人比赛的情况。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“Last time I took part in the 78th Olympics and I won the silver medal for my performance.”提示Wei Hua在第78届奥运会中获得了银牌，即第二名。故答案选B。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中句子“However, my programmer fell ill the week before we were leaving. It was very painful for her and I felt very scared.”可知在动身前程序员生病，才导致机器人感到不自信，故选A。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中句子“cold for my legs...my special oil began to freeze...open my parachute (降落伞) but there was a problem.”可知导致比赛失利的原因有腿部发凉、专用油凝结和降落伞故障三方面。故选C。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。短文最后一句“Let's hope for greater success in the next Olympics!” 可知Wei Hua现在充满希望。故选A。 C Mr. Scott talked about colours all the time. "What a honey-yellow morning it is!" he said to his wife. His wife planted fruit and vegetables in their garden, but Mr. Scott was more interested in the leafy plants, the bushes, and even the grass that grew in the garden. "So many kinds of green," he said to her after watering all the plants. "I counted at least twenty shades of green!" "Well done, dear," Mrs. Scott said. "Now would you please count twenty dollars and go to the supermarket for some ingredients (配料)? I want to make lunch!" With a smile on his face, Mr. Scott left at once. He enjoyed trips to the supermarket because of all the colourful cans and boxes in it. Fruit and vegetables, too, shone in their bright skins. There was never just one colour: carrots were orange, but also had bits of yellow and brown in them. Bananas were yellow and black; apples hid oranges and purples inside their reds. Mr. Scott would walk through the supermarket and enjoy all the colours around him. "I wish there was a store full of colours that I could spend all my time in." he sighed. He bought everything on his wife's list and came home. When he walked into the house, Mrs. Scott noticed the sad look on his face. "What's wrong?" she asked him. "It looks like you had fun at the store. I can see that you picked out the best things." "I did have fun in the store. So much that I wish I could have spent more time there. It's so full of colours! " Mr. Scott said. "I see," Mrs. Scott said. "Well, cheer up, because I'm going to cook a nice lunch for us!" The next day Mr. Scott was on his usual morning walk through the neighbourhood, saying hello to everyone, enjoying the colours of the trees and flowers. It was another day of colours! "Good morning, Mr. Brown," he called out to one of his neighbours. He liked Mr. Brown very much, because, well, you guessed it: his name was a colour! "Mr. Scott! Just the person I wanted to see!" Mr. Brown replied. "My wife and I are moving out of this town, and I need someone to take over my shop. You are the perfect person for the job because it's a paint shop! I need someone who knows its colours. Would you be interested?" Mr. Scott was mad with excitement. "I will take it over right away!" Mr. Brown was relieved when he left town, because he knew his paint shop was in good hands. Sure enough, Mr. Scott kept the paint shop open for twenty more years and got to talk about colours all day, every day. 33. Why did Mr. Scott come home from the supermarket sadly? A. He hated shopping in the supermarket. B. He didn't enjoy the colours in the supermarket. C. He didn't have enough money to buy everything on his wife's list. D. He liked the colours in the supermarket so much that he didn't want to leave. 34. Why did Mr. Scott like Mr. Brown very much? A. They were neighbours. B. Mr Brown had a paint shop. C. They shared the same hobby. D. Mr Brown's name was a colour. 35. What does the underlined word "relieved" mean? A. 宽慰 B. 不舍 C. 犹豫 D. 烦恼 36. What's the best title for this passage? A. A colourful paint shop B. A colour lover C. A friendly neighbour D. A happy couple 【答案】33. D 34. D 35. A 36. B 【解析】 【分析】文章叙述了酷爱各种色彩的Scott先生的故事。生活中各种树木、花草、蔬菜、超市陈列的物品的颜色都是他深深痴迷的，甚至以颜色为姓氏的人都使他身心愉悦。最终Scott先生如愿以偿，接手了Brown先生的油漆店，经营了20多年，每天都可以谈论着各种颜色。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段至第六段推测可知，他回家不开心的原因是不想离开超市里面的五颜六色的物品。故答案选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第四段未句“He liked.…colour!”可知他喜欢Brown先生的原因是他的姓就是一种颜色，brown意思是“褐色的”。故答案选D。 【35题详解】 词句猜测题。画线单词下文“…because he knew his paint shop was in good hands.”（因为他知道他的油漆店落到了可靠的人手里）提示该词意为“宽慰”。故答案选A。 【36题详解】 最佳标题题。短文所有的故事都是围绕着Scott先生酷爱各种颜色来进行，故B项“一个热爱色彩的人”最适合作短文标题。故答案为B。 【点睛】这是一篇记叙文，主人公斯科特先生酷爱各种色彩，短文介绍了有关他的几件趣事。考查的题型是阅读理解。题目设置有细节理解题、推理判断题、词句猜测题，和最佳标题题。做题时，应先通读短文了解大意，根据题目所问锁定文章相关段落或语句，结合选项作答。例如第3小题是考查词义猜测题。根据下文中的句子“…because he knew his paint shop was in good hands.”可知，当布朗先生知道他的油漆店落到了可靠的人手里，油漆店经营得很好时，他感到非常宽慰，故答案为A。再如第4小题标题归纳题也是阅读理解中常见的一个题型，一般针对某一语段或某一语篇的主题标题或目的设题。短文开头提到“Mr. Scott talked about colours all the time” 然后紧紧围绕着Scott先生酷爱各种颜色来进行介绍。符合用“热爱色彩的人”作为文章的标题。 D Language shows the environment where we live. We name the things around. Usually, the important things own many specific names, while the less important things only have some general names. So in one culture, people may have a large vocabulary to describe a certain object, while in another culture, such vocabulary is small. For instance, the Chinese have many words for “rice” and for “family members”. The British use many different expressions for “rain”. Kids growing up on a farm may be able to offer ten different words for plow, a farming tool. In some cultures, there is an amazingly large vocabulary to describe a certain thing. Eskimos have about 100 words for snow. For them, snow is so important to life that each of its forms and conditions has to own a name. They divide snow into four main categories, such as snow lying on the ground, snow floating in the sky, snow piling up, and snow piles. These different kinds of snow will tell them different weather conditions. It’s the same with the Arabians, whose life depends much on camels. In the Arabic language, according to camels’ appearance, characters, drinking behaviours, and the roles they play, there are hundreds of different words for the camel and all of its parts. Snow and camel are far less important in English-speaking cultures, and the single words “snow” and “camel” can usually satisfy their needs. When the needs become more specific, however, they can make up longer phrases to meet the needs: “corn snow”, “flying snow”, “big camel”, “funny camel”, etc. As we can see, there is a 4 between the words and the ideas of that culture. So it’s not hard to understand that each culture passes on its ideas and thoughts through word. 37. What does Paragraph 2 serve as? A. Opinions. B. Examples. C. Conclusions. D. Reasons. 38. From the passage, we know that the Eskimos live in very ________ places. A. cold B. dry C. hot D. wet 39. In English-speaking cultures, how do people show more specific meanings of single words like “snow” and “camel”? A. By inventing new words. B. By using other sentences. C. By making up longer phrases. D. By translating from another language. 40. Which word is the most suitable here? A. difference B. connection C. change D. distance 【答案】37. B 38. A 39. C 40. B 【解析】 【分析】本文主要说了语言反映了我们的生活，词与文化是相关的，通过文字传递思想。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。第二段举出例子，所以第二段的作用是举例子，故选B。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Eskimos have about 100 words for snow.”可知，爱斯基摩人有大约100个表示“雪”的单词，所以他们住在很冷的地方，故选A。 39题详解】 细节理解题。根据“When the needs become more specific, however, they can make up longer phrases to meet the needs”可知，当需求变得更具体时，他们可以用更长的短语来满足需求，故选C。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据“So it’s not hard to understand that each culture passes on its ideas and thoughts through word.”可知，不难理解，每种文化都是通过文字来传递自己的思想和思想，所以文字和思想之间有联系，故选B。 B）阅读短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Life is full of unexpected (始料不及的) moments.

It is still popular nowadays. Figure painting Starting from the Han dynasty, artists made people as the main subject of their painting. These paintings are called figure paintings. Gu Kaizhi(345—409) became famous for his figure paintings during the Jin dynasty. He used fine brushes to outline the people in black. Then he filled them with colour. This detailed, realistic style of painting was known as gongbi. The use of gongbi style resulted in more lifelike figure paintings. Wu Daozi(680—759)was known as the Sage of Painting for his unique painting style. He was very good at painting human figures and created special techniques for painting clothes that seemed to flow with the light wind. Landscape painting Between the Tang and Song dynasties, landscape painting became popular. Artists did ink wash painting with a brush and ink. Many landscape painters were scholar artists. They liked to express themselves through painting. Instead of painting what they saw, they painted the landscapes from their imagination. They also added poems to their paintings. Modern Chinese painters have inherited（继承）the long tradition of Chinese painting and brought this form of art to the world. Zhang Daqian (1899—1983) is regarded as “the Picasso of China” and Wu Guanzhong (1919—2010) was the first Chinese painter whose works were shown at the British Museum. 注：每题答案不超过5个词。 61.

Detailed and realistic. 63. Painting from their imagination. 64. Four. 65. The Chinese Traditional Painting. 【解析】 【分析】文章大意：本文主要介绍了中国的绘画以及各自画派的代表人物。 【61题详解】 根据“Starting from the Han dynasty, artists made people as the main subject of their painting. These paintings are called figure paintings.”从汉代开始，画家就把人作为绘画的主体。这些画被称为人物画。可知，人物画的主要主题是以人作为绘画的主体。故填People. 【62题详解】 根据“This detailed, realistic style of painting was known as gongbi. The use of gongbi style resulted in more lifelike figure paintings.”这种细致、写实的绘画风格被称为工笔。可知，工笔画的特点是细致、写实。故填Detailed and realistic. 【63题详解】 根据“Instead of painting what they saw, they painted the landscapes from their imagination.” 他们不是画他们所看到的，而是画他们想象中的风景。可知，风景画家更喜欢在想象中作画。故填Painting from their imagination. 【64题详解】 根据“Gu Kaizhi(345—409) became famous for his figure paintings during the Jin dynasty.” 顾恺之（345− 409）在晋朝以他的人物画而闻名。“Wu Daozi(680—759)was known as the Sage of Painting for his unique painting style.”吴道子（680− 759）以其独特的绘画风格被誉为“画圣”。以及“Zhang Daqian (1899—1983) is regarded as “the Picasso of China” and Wu Guanzhong (1919—2010) was the first Chinese painter whose works were shown at the British Museum.”张大千（1899− 1983）被誉为“中国的毕加索”，吴冠中（1919− 2010）是第一个在大英博物馆展出作品的中国画家。可知，文中一共提到了4名中国著名画家。故填Four. 【65题详解】 最佳标题题。根据“The Chinese have a long tradition of art, and painting is one of the major art forms. It is still popular nowadays.”中国有悠久的艺术传统，绘画是主要的艺术形式之一。现在它仍然很流行。结合文章内容可知，本文主要介绍了中国的绘画以及各自画派的代表人物。故填The Chinese Traditional Painting. 六、书面表述（满分20分） 66. 近期你校开展了丰富的延时服务课程并鼓励学生参与志愿服务。某报社想了解这方面的情况。假如你是李华，请你根据以下提示写一封英文邮件进行简单介绍。 延时服务 参加各种各样的课程，比如音乐、篮球等；……（你的情况） 志愿服务 帮助他人解决问题；……（举例说明） 你的收获 提升能力，更加自信；……（补充1—2点） 注意事项：1．词数90左右；2．文中不得出现真实的地名、校名。 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 Dear Editor, I’m Li Hua, a middle school student.

Rabbits look cute, but when they enter in large numbers, it’s a problem. In Australia, rabbits have crowded into the land. They eat the plants that farmers grow. They eat the plants other animals need to eat, so other animals find it hard to live. Daniel These days I’m reading Moby Dick. It’s considered to be the “Great American Novel”, or one of the greatest novels of all time. The story takes place on a whaling ship that sails the seas to find Moby Dick, a very large whale. Simon Well, I love detective stories. Last month I read The Stolen Letter. The writer brings me into the story of his characters’ lives. He also introduces a sense of mystery in the story. It keeps me interested until the very end of the story. 26. What are Amy, Daniel and Simon talking about? A. Listening. B. Speaking. C. Reading. D. Writing. 27. The rabbits in the book Rabbits in Australia _______. A. are very cute B. are in small numbers C. cause a problem D. find it hard to live in Australia 28. What do we know about the book The Stolen Letter? A. It’s set in Australia. B. It’s about the writer’s life. C. Its story happens on a ship. D. There’s a sense of mystery in it. B My name is Wei Hua and I'm a sporting robot of the 23rd century. I'm clever at high flying exercises. I jump from spaceships and as I fall, I turn, dive, circle and dance until I softly land as close as I can to the finishing line. Robot competitions in the 23rd century are truly a popular sport. Fans from all over China watch their hand-held TVs when a competition comes on. Last time I took part in the 78th Olympics and I won the silver medal for my performance. This year I was very proud to be chosen again. I wanted to meet robots from other countries and explore ideas about our sport. However, my programmer fell ill the week before we were leaving. It was very painful for her and I felt very scared. I didn't feel so confident that I would win. The day of the competition was rather cold for my legs and my special oil began to freeze. I stopped for a moment (which I shouldn't) before I jumped from the starting place on a little spaceship, then I began my performance. At the correct moment I tried to open my parachute (降落伞) but there was a problem. It only opened a little. I began to fall faster and faster so that I could not turn, dive, circle or dance. My heart stopped beating as I landed heavily on a mountain covered with snow. This is why I am writing to you from my hospital bed with two broken legs and a weak head. I did not win anything at the Olympics after all. I need the factory to build me two new legs and an even bigger head. Then I will be able to compete once more. Let's hope for greater success in the next Olympics! 29. Wei Hua finished _________ in the 78th Olympics high flying sport. A. first B. second C. third D. fourth 30. Why didn't Wei Hua feel so confident about himself before this year's game? A. His programmer was sick. B. He had a great pain in his leg. C. He himself fell ill before they were leaving. D. He couldn't meet robots from other countries. 31. According to Paragraph 3, how many reasons led to Wei Hua's failure in the competition? A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four. 32. How is Wei Hua feeling now? A. Full of hope. B. Unsure about himself. C. Heart-broken. D. Satisfied with his result this year. C Mr. Scott talked about colours all the time. "What a honey-yellow morning it is!" he said to his wife. His wife planted fruit and vegetables in their garden, but Mr. Scott was more interested in the leafy plants, the bushes, and even the grass that grew in the garden. "So many kinds of green," he said to her after watering all the plants. "I counted at least twenty shades of green!" "Well done dear," Mrs. Scott said. "Now would you please count twenty dollars and go to the supermarket for some ingredients (配料)? I want to make lunch!" With a smile on his face, Mr. Scott left at once. He enjoyed trips to the supermarket because of all the colourful cans and boxes in it. Fruit and vegetables, too, shone in their bright skins. There was never just one colour: carrots were orange, but also had bits of yellow and brown in them. Bananas were yellow and black; apples hid oranges and purples inside their reds. Mr. Scott would walk through the supermarket and enjoy all the colours around him. "I wish there was a store full of colours that I could spend all my time in." he sighed. He bought everything on his wife's list and came home. When he walked into the house, Mrs. Scott noticed the sad look on his face. "What's wrong?" she asked him. "It looks like you had fun at the store. I can see that you picked out the best things." "I did have fun in the store. So much that I wish I could have spent more time there. It's so full of colours! " Mr. Scott said. "I see," Mrs. Scott said. "Well, cheer up, because I'm going to cook a nice lunch for us!" The next day Mr. Scott was on his usual morning walk through the neighbourhood, saying hello to everyone, enjoying the colours of the trees and flowers. It was another day of colours! "Good morning, Mr. Brown," he called out to one of his neighbours. He liked Mr. Brown very much, because, well, you guessed it: his name was a colour! "Mr. Scott! Just the person I wanted to see!" Mr. Brown replied. "My wife and I are moving out of this town, and I need someone to take over my shop. You are the perfect person for the job because it's a paint shop! I need someone who knows its colours. Would you be interested?" Mr. Scott was mad with excitement. "I will take it over right away!" Mr. Brown was relieved when he left town, because he knew his paint shop was in good hands. Sure enough, Mr. Scott kept the paint shop open for twenty more years and got to talk about colours all day, every day. 33. Why did Mr. Scott come home from the supermarket sadly? A. He hated shopping in the supermarket. B. He didn't enjoy the colours in the supermarket. C. He didn't have enough money to buy everything on his wife's list. D. He liked the colours in the supermarket so much that he didn't want to leave. 34. Why did Mr. Scott like Mr. Brown very much? A. They were neighbours. B. Mr Brown had a paint shop. C. They shared the same hobby. D. Mr Brown's name was a colour. 35. What does the underlined word "relieved" mean? A. 宽慰 B. 不舍 C. 犹豫 D. 烦恼 36. What's the best title for this passage? A. A colourful paint shop B. A colour lover C A friendly neighbour D. A happy couple D Language shows the environment where we live. We name the things around. Usually, the important things own many specific names, while the less important things only have some general names. So in one culture, people may have a large vocabulary to describe a certain object, while in another culture, such vocabulary is small. For instance, the Chinese have many words for “rice” and for “family members”. The British use many different expressions for “rain”. Kids growing up on a farm may be able to offer ten different words for plow, a farming tool. In some cultures, there is an amazingly large vocabulary to describe a certain thing. Eskimos have about 100 words for snow. For them, snow is so important to life that each of its forms and conditions has to own a name. They divide snow into four main categories, such as snow lying on the ground, snow floating in the sky, snow piling up, and snow piles. These different kinds of snow will tell them different weather conditions. It’s the same with the Arabians, whose life depends much on camels. In the Arabic language, according to camels’ appearance, characters, drinking behaviours, and the roles they play, there are hundreds of different words for the camel and all of its parts. Snow and camel are far less important in English-speaking cultures, and the single words “snow” and “camel” can usually satisfy their needs. When the needs become more specific, however, they can make up longer phrases to meet the needs: “corn snow”, “flying snow”, “big camel”, “funny camel”, etc. As we can see, there is a 4 between the words and the ideas of that culture. So it’s not hard to understand that each culture passes on its ideas and thoughts through word. 37. What does Paragraph 2 serve as? A. Opinions. B. Examples. C. Conclusions. D. Reasons. 38. From the passage, we know that the Eskimos live in very ________ places. A. cold B. dry C. hot D. wet 39. In English-speaking cultures, how do people show more specific meanings of single words like “snow” and “camel”? A. By inventing new words. B. By using other sentences. C. By making up longer phrases. D. By translating from another language. 40. Which word is the most suitable here? A. difference B. connection C. change D. distance B）阅读短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Life is full of unexpected (始料不及的) moments. Whether these moments are surprising or challenging. we all need to face them bravely. ____41____ Here are four simple ways.
