Now plastic has been found in another unlikely place:on the backs of hermit crabs(寄居馔).According to a study published in February,hermit crabs are using plastic litter as shells. Zuzanna Jagiello is a biologist at the University of Warsaw,in Poland.She's the study's lead author.Jagiello said,"For me,a hermit crab in a plastic shell could be an icon of our times.They don't have homes,so they usc rubbish."Human activity has had a major influence on the environment.Hermit crabs using plastic waste as shells is one example of that impact. Hermit crabs are small,soft-bodied crabs that live near oceans.To protect themselves from predators(捕食者)，the crabs typically wear seashells that have been left behind by dead sea snails ()But according to February's study,at least 386 hermit crabs have been documented wearing rubbish.Of the world's 16 species of hermit crabs that live on land,10 have been seen wearing trash.Nearly nine out of every ten of those crabs were wearing plastic waste,such as bottle caps. Jagiello says that she and her team first learned about hermit crabs wearing rubbish when they noticed photos of them posted online.They decided to learn more by going on research.For their study,the researchers scanned the Internet for photos of hermit crabs wearing rubbish.They found photos from all over the world.Some had been taken by scientists.Some had been taken by nature photographers.Many had been taken by people who were just curious. Why are hermit crabs choosing litter instead of snail shells?Scientists have guesses.The number of some sea snails is going down.Hermit crabs could be turning to litter because they can't find enough seashells.It's also possible that crabs are choosing plastic because it's light and easy to carry,or they're drawn to its flashy colors. Scientists agree that plastic pollution harms wildlife and habitats in many ways.But it isn't clear that the crabs are in any danger. 29.What's the purpose of writing the first paragraph? A.To describe water pollution. B.To tell us that plastic is everywhere. C.To show plastic waste is harmful to us. D.To lead us to think about the topic of the text. 30.What does the fourth paragraph mainly tell us?Hermit crabs A.find their new homes B.have a small,soft body C.usually wear seashells D.can protect themselves 31.What are the possible reasons for hermit crabs using plastic according to the passage? 1 There are more sea snails than before. 2Plastic has bright colours that the crabs like. 3 Plastic is light and easy for the crabs to carry. Other animals that want to eat the crabs are afraid of plastic. A.①② B.②③ C.③④ D.①③ 32.What's the best title for the passage? A.Plastic pollution in deep oceans B.Tips for protecting hermit crabs C.Creative crabs wearing rubbish D.Our influence on the environment 九年级英语期中试卷第5页（共12页) Q Libraries help us earn,and gyms keep us strong.But did you know buildings can also change how we fecl every day?Good architecture(建筑设t计)shapes not just our mood,but who we grow to be.For example,rooms with lower ceilings help us focus ()-great for studying or doing homework.Rooms with higher ceilings make us more creative,like when we draw pictures or write stories.Adding nature to buildings,such as plants by windows or small gardens on roofs,is good for both our body and mind. A study from Germany's Heidelberg University found that kids who grow up in the countryside,close to trees and fields,have fewer mental health problems than those in busy cities. Take Vancouver(温哥华)，Canada:this city is surrounded by mountains and the occan.It plans buildings carefully so tall ones don't block views of the sca or hills.People there can always see green trees and blue water from their windows,which makes them feel happy and calm. Boring buildings,however,can make us feel sad.The Guardian tells about a study in New York:people walked faster past gray,glass buildings near a big supermarket.Their faces looked 密 tired,and they didn't smile.But when they reached lively streets with colorful shops and small parks,their mood got better-they walked slower and even talked to strangers. To make buildings friendlier,designers should avoid too many straight lines and flat walls. 封 These make cities look like big,dull boxes and stop sunlight from making pretty shadows,like the patterns leaves make on the ground.Instead,architects can use colors to create different feelings. Bright colors like yellow and orange make us feel energetic,like a sunny day at the park.Calm 线 colors like blue and green help us relax,like sitting by a quiet lake,says Forbes magazine. Influences on Daily Life Hospitals:Patients in dark rooms use more medicine and feel more stressed.But those in 内 bright rooms with big windows get better faster--sometimes even 20%quicker! Schools:Small,crowded classrooms with no plants can slow kids'brain development by 25%. Big,bright rooms with trees outside help students learn better and remember more. 不 Homes:Living near busy roads with tall,gray buildings may make family arguments ( at night go up by 9%.But neighborhoods with small parks or gardens have happier families. So,next time you walk outside,look around.Notice the buildings that make you smile-the 要 ones with colors,plants,or windows looking at trees.A little bit of nature and a lot of heart in architecture are the best gifts for our minds and bodies! 答 33.Which of the following can help us focus according to the passage? A.Rooms with higher ceilings. B.Rooms with lower ceilings. C.Colorful shops and small parks. D.Straight lines and flat walls. 题 34.What do we know about Vancouver from the passage? A.It has many gray glass buildings. B.It is full of busy streets and supermarkets. C.It designs buildings to let people see nature easily. D.It has more mental health problems than the countryside. 35.Which of the following best describes the passage's structure () A.Question→Answer→Reasons→Warnings→Details→Conclusion B.Study→Results→Experiences→Examples→Influences→Conclusion C.Topic→Examples-→Problems→Methods→Influences→Conclusion D.Story→Problems→Study→Differences→Suggestions→Conclusion 九年级英语期中试卷第6页（共12页） 36.What is the main idea of the passage? A.To talk about the countryside and the city life. B.To tell stories about different buildings in cities. C.To advise people to work as architects in future. D.To explain how buildings influence our feelings. 0 On the first day of school,our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know.I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my 学校 shoulder.I turned around to find a wrinkled,littleold lady with a smile.She said.H handsome! My name is Rose.I'm cighty-seven years old.Can I give you a hug?" 密 I laughed and warmly responded,"Of course you may!"She gave me a giant hug."Why are you in college at such a young,innocent(幼稚的)agc?I asked.. 封 She jokingly replied,"I'm here to meet a rich husband,get married,have a couple of 班级 children,and then retire and travel." 线 "No,seriously?"I asked.I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age. 内 "I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!"she told me. After class we walked to the Student Union building and shared chocolate milkshake.We 姓名 不 became instant friends.Every day of the next three months we would leave class together and talk nonstop.I was always attracted listening to this"time machine"as she shared her wisdom and experience with me. 要 Over the course of the year,Rose became a campus icon(校园偶像)and she easily made friends wherever she went.She loved to dress up and enjoyed the attention from other students. 答 She was living it up. 考试 At the end of the term,we invited Rose to speak at a student gathering.I'll never forget what 证号 食 she taught us."We do not stop playing because we are old;we grow old because we stop playing. There are only four secrets to staying young,being happy,and achieving success.You have to laugh and find humour every day.You've got to have a dream.When you lose your dreams,you die.There are so many people walking around who are dead,and they don't even know it,"she said. "There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up.Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or ability,"she added."But growing up requires finding chances in 座位号 charge.Have no regrets ()The elderly usually don't have regrets for what we did,but rather for things we did not do." She ended her speech by courageously singing The Rose.She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily life. At the year's end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years.We'd always keep her in mind because it is the wonderful woman who taught us by example that it's never too late to be all you can possibly be. 37.Why did Rose go to college according to the passage?
