外研版初中英语九年级上册M10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,共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 Lucy: Dad, I need your help with my English homework. Our teacher asked us to pick a country we want to visit, imagine being there, and write a letter to our family. I’ve chosen Canada. How should I start? Dad: That’s a great choice! I went to Canada two years ago and took lots of photos. They might give you some ideas. Look at this one—it’s the CN Tower in Toronto. It’s one of the tallest towers in the world. Lucy: Wow, it looks amazing! How tall is it? Dad: It’s 553 metres high. And this photo is of Niagara Falls. It’s on the border between Canada and the US. The waterfalls are really spectacular. Lucy: Is it one of the most famous natural wonders in the world? Dad: Yes, millions of tourists visit it every year. And here are some photos of my Canadian friends. They are farmers who grow wheat and corn. They also keep some cows and sell fresh milk. Do you know that many Canadians have European ancestors? Lucy: Yes! Most of them come from Britain and France. That’s why both English and French are official languages there. Did you write a travel diary when you were in Canada? Dad: Sure, you can read it to get more details. Lucy: Perfect! By the way, what didn’t you like about Canada? Dad: The weather! It was so cold when I was there in January. I had to wear a thick coat, a scarf and gloves every day. My fingers were almost frozen! Lucy: Hahaha, that sounds terrible but funny! Dad: It wasn’t funny at that time! 1. What country has Lucy chosen for her homework? A. Australia B. Canada C. The US D. Britain 2. How tall is the CN Tower according to Lucy’s dad? A. 348 metres B. 553 metres C. 2,600 kilometres D. 3.6 kilometres 3. Where is Niagara Falls located? A. In the centre of Canada B. On the border between Canada and the US C. Near Toronto D. In Europe 4. Why are English and French both official languages in Canada? A. Because Canada is close to the US and Britain B. Because the weather in Canada is cold C. Because many Canadians come from Britain and France D. Because Canada has many natural wonders 5. What didn’t Lucy’s dad like about Canada? A. The food B. The people C. The weather D. The scenery B Dear Grandma and Grandpa, I’m writing this letter to you from the beautiful city of Vancouver in Canada. Right now, we’re staying in a small hotel near Stanley Park. On the first day, we walked around the park and I was shocked by how big it is—it covers an area of over 400 hectares! The park has lots of tall trees, beautiful lakes and lovely gardens. It’s like a green oasis in the busy city. Stanley Park is a favourite place for both locals and tourists. Canadians have a close relationship with nature. They love outdoor activities like hiking, camping and skiing. In winter, many people go to the Rocky Mountains to ski. The mountains are covered with snow and the skiing there is fantastic. The foods that Canadians like most are poutine and maple syrup. Poutine is made of French fries, cheese curds and gravy. It’s very delicious but a bit high in calories. Maple syrup is a special product of Canada. It’s used to make pancakes, waffles and other sweet food. Although it is July, it’s not too hot here because Vancouver is near the sea. The temperature is around 20 degrees Celsius during the day. There are lots of seagulls flying over the sea and boats sailing on the water. We also saw some whales when we took a boat tour yesterday. They were jumping out of the water and it was an unforgettable sight. Canadians speak English and French, but they have their own slang words. For example, when they say “eh” at the end of a sentence, they are asking for agreement. When they say “double-double”, they mean a coffee with two creams and two sugars. On the third day, we went cycling along the sea coast. The bike that I rented was a bit small, but I still enjoyed the ride. The wind was blowing gently and the sea view was amazing. Tomorrow morning, we are taking a train to Montreal and then flying back home. It has been an amazing trip. Love, Lucy 6. Where is Lucy staying now? A. In a hotel near Stanley Park B. In the centre of Montreal C. Near the Rocky Mountains D. On a boat 7. How large is Stanley Park? A. Over 400 hectares B. 553 hectares C. 348 hectares D. 2,600 hectares 8. What is poutine made of? A. Wheat and corn B. French fries, cheese curds and gravy C. Pancakes and maple syrup D. Fresh milk and beef 9. What did Lucy see during the boat tour? A. Seagulls B. Boats C. Whales D. Lakes 10. What does “double-double” mean in Canadian slang? A. A bike with two wheels B. A coffee with two creams and two sugars C. A trip to two cities D. A park with two lakes C Australia is a large country located in the southern hemisphere. It is the sixth largest country in the world by area. Australia is famous for its unique wildlife, such as kangaroos, koalas and emus. These animals can’t be found in most other countries. The geography of Australia is very diverse. There are vast deserts in the centre of the country, such as the Great Victoria Desert. There are also beautiful beaches along the coast, and the Great Barrier Reef is one of the most famous natural wonders in the world. Ayers Rock, also known as Uluru, is another famous landmark. It is a large rock in the centre of Australia and it changes colour at different times of the day. The population of Australia is about 26 million. Most Australians live in the coastal areas because the climate there is more comfortable. The middle of the country is too dry and hot for people to live in. Many Australians have British or European ancestors, so English is the official language. Australians love sports. Australian football is the most popular sport in the country. Cricket and swimming are also very popular. Because Australia is surrounded by the sea, surfing is a favourite activity for many people. 11. Where is Australia located? A. In the northern hemisphere B. In the southern hemisphere C. In Europe D. In Asia 12. What is Australia famous for? A. Its large population B. Its long rivers C. Its unique wildlife D.

Which of the following is NOT a famous landmark in Australia? A. Ayers Rock B. The Great Barrier Reef C. The CN Tower D. The Great Victoria Desert D Travelling is a great way to learn about different cultures and see new places. When you travel to a foreign country, there are some things you should keep in mind to make your trip more enjoyable. First, you should learn a few basic words and phrases of the local language. This will help you communicate with local people and show your respect for their culture. For example, you can learn how to say “hello”, “thank you” and “goodbye”. Second, you should know about the local customs. Different countries have different customs. For example, in some countries, it is polite to bow when you meet someone, while in others, people shake hands. You should also know about the local food and eating habits. Some foods that are common in your country may not be available in other countries. Third, you should prepare for the weather. The weather in different countries can be very different. For example, Australia is in the southern hemisphere, so its seasons are opposite to those in the northern hemisphere. When it is winter in China, it is summer in Australia. You should pack the right clothes for your trip. Finally, you should keep a travel diary. Writing down your experiences and feelings will help you remember your trip better. You can also take photos to record the beautiful scenery and interesting things you see. 16. What is a great way to learn about different cultures? A. Reading books B. Watching TV C. Travelling D.

We took a boat tour close to the falls and got wet all over. We also tried some local food, like poutine and maple syrup pancakes. They were very delicious. Canadians are very friendly and they helped us when we got lost. It was an unforgettable trip. I hope to go to Canada again someday. 需要我帮你把这份试卷的问题和答案拆分成两个独立的文档吗? 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 $
