Amy, a third-grader with cerebral palsy (大脑性瘫痪), felt a sharp pain inside, but she said nothing. It wasn’t as if he were the only one. It seemed that ever since Amy started the third grade, someone teased her every single day. The teasing made Amy feel lonely. Back home at the dinner table that evening, Amy was quiet. Her mother knew that things were not going well at school. So she tried to lift her spirits. “The newspaper is running a Christmas-Wish Competition,” she smiled. “Why not write to Santa Claus?” Out came the pencil and paper and Amy went to work on her letter. She wrote: Dear Santa Claus, My name is Amy. I am 9 years old. I have a problem at school. Can you help me, Santa? Kids laugh at me because of the way I walk and run and talk. I have cerebral palsy. I just want one day where no one laughs at me. Love, Amy Mum sent the letter to the paper. The next morning Amy’s story was on the front page. Readers were moved by the brave little girl who asked for such a simple gift—kindness. Letters, calls and hugs poured in. At school, teachers held special classes about respect.

C What can you do with nuts? A scientist named George Washington Carver answered that question, over and over again. When Carver was born in 1864, he was a slave (奴隶) on a farm in Missouri. Later, he got freedom. As a teenager, he worked on a farm and managed to finish high school. At the age of 30, he became the first black student at the college in Iowa. In 1896, he became the first black teacher working at another college in Iowa. Several years later, he took a job at a college in Alabama, where he worked until his death in 1943. Carver studied agriculture, the science of farming. His research made huge improvements in farming in the southern United States. Carver studied peanuts. He knew that the south couldn’t grow just cotton. Planting cotton year after year made the soil useless. Carver learned that if farmers planted cotton one year and peanuts the next, the soil would keep healthy. To encourage this practice Carver thought of new uses for the peanut. Would you like to try peanut and raisin ice cream? How about using peanuts as a kind of material to make shampoo? Perhaps you would prefer to bake with peanut flour. Glue? Paper? The list goes on and on. Carver helped farmers and fellow scientists freely with his ideas. Carver’s life could be used as our example. 9. Which U.S. state was George Washington Carver born in 1864 as a slave? A In Alabama. B. In Iowa. C. In Missouri. D. In Georgia. 10. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a use for peanuts that Carver developed? A. Ice cream. B. Shampoo. C. Glue. D. Fuel. 11. Why did Carver encourage farmers to plant peanuts after cotton? A. To increase peanut production. B. To keep the soil healthy. C. To reduce the cost of farming. D. To create more jobs in the south. 12. What can be inferred about Carver’s character from the passage? A. He only paid attention to his health. B. He was unselfish and would like to help others. C. He was mostly interested in personal fame. D. He was traditional and didn’t like to change. D In the state of Qin, there was a man called Shang Yang. He was a statesman (政治家) and worked out many reforms (改革) for the state, like paying more attention to farming and giving rewards (报酬) to soldiers who were successful during the war. But these reforms were not easily carried out (执行) at first. Most people didn’t trust Shang Yang. In order to solve this problem, Shang Yang came up with an idea. He put a thin wooden pole (柱子) at the south gate of the Qin capital. Many people came to see him and the pole. Then, in front of the crowd, Shang Yang said loudly, “The man who takes this pole to the north gate will get 10 gold pieces (金币).” It was a simple job and the reward was so large. However some time passed and no one stepped forward. They all thought Shang Yang was making a joke. Hearing no answer, Shang Yang stepped forward and said, “The reward now goes to 50 gold pieces.” This reward was unbelievably large. Finally, a man from the crowd came forward. He put the pole on his shoulders and walked to the north gate. True to his word, Shang Yang gave the man 50 gold pieces. After that, the people of Qin were all talking about what Shang Yang did about the pole. They believed he was a man of his word. So when Shang Yang began carrying out his reforms, the people followed him. Under these great reforms, Qin grew stronger and stronger. At last, Qin made all the seven states into one empire (帝国). 13. What’s the problem when Shang Yang wanted to begin his reforms? A. People doubted Shang Yang. B. People supported Shang Yang. C. People believed Shang Yang. D. People disliked Shang Yang. 14. How much gold did the man finally receive for carrying the pole? A. 10 pieces. B. 30 pieces. C. 50 pieces. D. 100 pieces. 15. Why did Shang Yang choose such a simple task and a high reward? A. To show off his wealth. B. To make people question him. C. To make people believe him. D. To make jokes with the people. 16. What is the main idea of the whole passage? A. Shang Yang invented new farming tools. B. Shang Yang won people’s trust and made Qin strong. C The Qin people didn’t believe Shang Yang at all. D. Gold was the most valuable thing in Qin Dynasty.

Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends on ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier. The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future—for example, getting into college or getting a good job—that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives. Another secret of living a happy life is to be active and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people like dancing or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems and only think about the activity. Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes. 41. What did the Greek thinker Aristotle say about happiness? ______________________________ 42. What will you be unable to enjoy if you spend too much time thinking about the future? ______________________________ 43. How will many people feel when they spend their time helping others according to the study? ______________________________ 44. Which way of keeping happy would you prefer? Try to explain in at least 30 words. ______________________________ 五、书面表达(满分20分) 45. 同学们好，《中学生英语报》的学生生活栏目正在征集学生有关个人生活学习方面的文稿，请大家以“My life”或“My study”为题，向报社投稿。词数：80左右。要点如下： 1．确定主题。 2．分享跟主题相关的事件。 3．阐述跟主题相关的观点。 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 九年级英语试卷 考试时间：90分钟 试卷满分：90分 考生注意：所有试题必须在答题卡指定区域内作答，在本试卷上作答无效 一、阅读理解(共20小题，每小题2分;满分40分) (一)阅读下面语言材料，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A 【1~4题答案】 【答案】1.
