外研版初中英语九年级下册M3单元练习题 (考试时间90分钟，满分120分) 一、阅读理解（共4篇，20小题；每题2分，满分40分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Lily was sitting at her desk, finishing her homework as the evening grew dark. Her mum walked in with a cup of warm milk and asked, "Honey, how's your homework going?" "Almost done, Mum," Lily replied. She then looked up and wondered aloud, "Do you think our lives are much better now than they were decades ago?" "Definitely," her mum nodded. "People have more money, and the average lifespan is much longer than before." "That's right," Lily agreed. "We've made great progress in medical science, so we don't have to be afraid of common illnesses anymore. But it seems like people don't exercise as much as their parents did." Her mum smiled, "You're right. More families have their own cars now, so fewer people choose to walk or ride bikes for short trips." "Some elders say life in the past was simpler and healthier," her mum added. "More wealth doesn't always mean better health. Just think about it — as the number of cars increases, air pollution gets worse, sometimes even twice as bad." Lily then asked, "What about work? Do people work as hard as those who lived fifty years ago?" "Harder sometimes," her mum answered. "Nowadays, people rarely say they have enough free time. Why not go chat with Grandma Wang next door? She's in her eighties and has witnessed all the big changes in life over the years." "That's a great idea. I'll go talk to her right away," Lily said. "Remember to speak loudly," her mum reminded her. "Her hearing isn't as good as it used to be." 1. What did Lily and her mum mainly talk about? A. Lily's homework progress B. The changes in life between past and present C. The importance of doing exercise D. Grandma Wang's life story 2. According to Lily's mum, why do people exercise less now? A. They are too busy with their work B. They prefer watching TV at home C. More families have private cars D. There are fewer places to exercise 3. What does Lily's mum think about wealth and health? A. More wealth always brings better health B. More wealth doesn't necessarily mean better health C. Wealth has nothing to do with health D. Health is more important than wealth 4. Why did Lily's mum suggest she talk to Grandma Wang? A. Because Grandma Wang is lonely and needs someone to talk to B. Because Grandma Wang has experienced many life changes C. Because Grandma Wang is good at telling stories D. Because Grandma Wang can help Lily with her homework 5. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. People in the past lived longer than people now B. Medical science was more advanced in the past C. People now have more free time than before D. Grandma Wang has poor hearing B Grandma Wang is 82 years old and has lived in Tianjin her entire life. When Lily asked her about the differences between life today and in the past, she shared her memories with a smile. "In my time, our family lived in a small, crowded house. There were no electric lights — we used candles every night after sunset. My dad worked as a delivery man. No matter how cold it was in winter or how hot in summer, he had to work twelve hours a day to support the family. My mum was a village girl before she married my dad. She was a gentle and caring mother who never had a job outside the home. We had six children in the family, and taking care of us was a full-time job that kept her busy all day long." "Family meals back then were very simple. Meat was a luxury — we could only eat it a few times a year. I never got the chance to go to school. It wasn't just because my family couldn't pay for the fees, but also because girls weren't encouraged to get an education at that time." "Now everything is different. Families are much smaller now — most couples only have one child. The role of women has changed a lot too. My daughter is so lucky. She got a good education and has a great job even after she got married. I'm happy to see her living a busy and fulfilling life, but sometimes I feel a bit lonely because she can't visit me as often as I wish." "Transportation is so much easier now. When I was young, I walked everywhere, or sometimes I rode a bike if I was lucky. Now you can take a bus or the subway to any part of the city. Young people can even fly to other countries for a trip. The only thing I don't like is the heavy traffic. It's really dangerous and difficult to cross the road these days." "We didn't have a TV when I was a kid. Now I love watching TV in my free time. There are so many interesting programmes, like traditional operas and old movies. But some of the modern shows are too loud and noisy for me." "All in all, I think life is better today. We eat more delicious food and we live much longer lives." 6. Where has Grandma Wang lived all her life? A. In Beijing B. In Tianjin C. In a village D. In a small town 7. What was Grandma Wang's father's job? A. A postman B. A farmer C. A delivery man D. A teacher 8. Why didn't Grandma Wang go to school when she was young? A. Because she was too busy helping her mother B. Because her family was poor and girls weren't encouraged to study C. Because there were no schools near her home D. Because she didn't like studying 9. What does Grandma Wang think about the transportation now? A. It's easier but there's too much traffic B. It's more difficult than in the past C. It's as convenient as in the past D. It's faster but more expensive 10. What is Grandma Wang's overall opinion about life now? A. Life is worse than in the past B. Life is better than in the past C. Life is the same as in the past D. Life is simpler than in the past C Over the past century, life has changed more than we can imagine. From the way we live to the way we work, every aspect of our daily lives has been transformed. One of the most obvious changes is in housing. In the past, most families lived in small, crowded houses with no modern facilities. Now, we live in spacious apartments or houses with running water, electric lights and air conditioners. People have more privacy and a more comfortable living environment. Another big change is in women's roles. In the past, women were expected to stay at home and take care of their families. They had few chances to get an education or find a job outside. Now, women have the same rights as men. They can go to school, pursue their careers, and make their own choices in life. Transportation has also improved a lot. In the old days, people mainly traveled on foot or by bike. Long-distance travel was slow and tiring. Now, we have buses, subways, high-speed trains and planes. We can travel to any place in the world quickly and comfortably. However, the increase in the number of cars has also caused serious problems like traffic jams and air pollution. Food is another area that has changed greatly. In the past, people could only eat what was available locally, and meat was a rare treat. Now, we have a wide variety of food to choose from. We can eat fresh fruit and vegetables from all over the world at any time of the year. 11. What is the most obvious change mentioned in the passage? A. Changes in housing B. Changes in women's roles C. Changes in transportation D. Changes in food 12. What was women's main role in the past? A. To go to school and get an education B. To work outside and support the family C. To stay at home and take care of the family D. To travel around the world 13. What problem has been caused by the increase in cars? A. People have less free time B. Traffic jams and air pollution C. People exercise less than before D. Long-distance travel becomes slow 14. Which of the following is TRUE about food in the past? A. People had a wide variety of food to choose from B. Meat was something people could eat every day C. People could only eat locally produced food D. People could eat fresh fruit from all over the world 15. What is the main idea of this passage? A. The changes in women's roles over the past century B. The development of transportation in the past century C. The great changes in life over the past century D. The differences in food between past and present D As society develops, people are debating whether life today is better than in the past. Some people think that modern life is more convenient and comfortable, while others believe that life in the past was simpler and healthier. Those who support modern life point out that we have better medical care. We can cure many diseases that were fatal in the past, and people's life expectancy has increased greatly. We also have more advanced technology. With the invention of the internet, we can communicate with people all over the world in seconds. We can shop online, watch movies at home, and work from anywhere. On the other hand, people who prefer life in the past argue that modern life is more stressful. People work longer hours and have less time to relax and spend with their families. They also say that the environment is much worse now. Air pollution, water pollution and noise pollution are all serious problems. In the past, the air was clean, the water was clear, and people could enjoy the beauty of nature. In fact, both past and present life have their own advantages and disadvantages. The key is to learn from the past and make the most of the present. We should enjoy the convenience of modern life while taking steps to protect the environment and reduce stress. In this way, we can create a better future for ourselves and for the next generation. 16. What are people debating about? A. Whether modern technology is good or bad B. Whether life today is better than in the past C. Whether women should work outside or stay at home D. Whether transportation has improved or not 17. Why do some people support modern life? A. Because it is simpler and healthier B. Because it is more stressful C. Because it has better medical care and advanced technology D. Because the environment is better 18. What do people who prefer past life think of modern life? A. It is more convenient and comfortable B. It is more stressful and the environment is worse C. It has longer working hours and more free time D. It has better medical care and technology 19. What is the key to creating a better future? A. To forget the past and focus on the present B. To reject modern life and go back to the past C. To learn from the past and make the most of the present D. To work longer hours and earn more money 20. What is the main idea of this passage? A. The advantages of modern life B. The disadvantages of past life C. The debate about life in the past and present D. The importance of protecting the environment 二、短文还原（7选5；每题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Life has changed a lot over the past few decades. 21. ______ They have more money and live longer than their parents did.

In the past, people lived in small and crowded houses. Food was simple and meat was a luxury. Most people traveled on foot or by bike, and there were few chances for girls to get an education. But now, we live in spacious and bright apartments with all kinds of modern facilities. We have a wide variety of food to choose from, and meat has become a regular part of our meals. Transportation is more convenient — we can take buses, subways or even planes to travel around. What’s more, women now have the same rights as men and can pursue their own careers freely. These changes have brought us a better life. We should treasure what we have and work harder to make the future even better. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
