Here are some easy ways to help you. First, find a straight, long stick. Plant it upright in the ground. Then put a rock on the ground to mark the tip (尖端) of the stick’s shadow. And wait 15-20 minutes. Mark the new location of the tip of the stick’s shadow with another rock. Draw a line between the rocks. Since the sun moves west across the sky, the shadow’s new location will be further east. So mark a “W” on the first location and an “E” on the new one. Put your left foot on “W” and your right one on “E” . Then your front will be north. Secret language of trees Sometimes plants can tell the directions. To us who live in the Northern Hemisphere, the sun is usually in the southern part of the sky. That means leaves will be thicker on the southern side of a tree. And the tops of trees almost always grow towards the south. If you happen to see a stump (树桩) check its growth ring pattern. The tree rings will be thicker on the northern side but thinner on the southern side. Finding the North Star The North Star can show you where true north is in the Northern Hemisphere. This is one of the quickest ways to look for directions at night. First you need to find the Big Dipper, which is the key to finding the North Star. The Big Dipper looks like a spoon made up of seven stars. The end of the “spoon” is made up of 2 stars. Draw a line between them and extend (延长) it to a similarly bright star at the location about 5 times the distance (距离) of these two stars away. That’s the North Star. When you’re facing it, you’re facing true north. 102. ________ ____103____ ____104____ ____105____ ____106____ 108. ________ 109. ________ 110. ________ 五、书面表达（计 15 分） 111. 你校英文杂志New Magazine针对在当前社会，我们更应该“求人”还是“求己”这一现象，征稿同学们对此的看法。部分同学就此展开了激烈的讨论。请以此话题写一篇短文，向杂志社投稿，谈谈你的看法。 要求： 1. 简述该情况； 2. 陈述图表中不同观点及理由； 3. 表述你的观点及两点理由(须与图中不同)。 注意： 1. 需全面反映图表信息，但不能完全照抄； 2. 文中不能出现真实的学校和姓名； 3. 词数：100左右。 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 成都教科院附属学校（成都天府实验学校）九年级上 综合测评（半期）英语试卷 （考试时间：120 分钟 试卷满分：150 分） A 卷（共 100 分） 第一部分 听力（共 30 小题，计 30 分） 一、听句子，根据所听到的内容选择正确答语。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 A.

Can you see them?” Mr. Jones said, “Yes, I can.” He drove the car slowly near the woman and said to her, “Can we help you?” “No, thank you,” the woman said, but she did not stop running. “My husband and I always run home after the film, and the last one washes the dishes at home!” 听短文，根据短文内容完成图表中所缺信息。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 The ____22____ of Police in London In 1700 There used to be no policemen.

Today there are policemen everywhere, but in 1700 there was no policeman in London at all. A few old men used to protect the city streets at night, and they were not paid very much. About 300 years ago, London started to get bigger. The city was very dirty and many people were poor. There were some thieves who stole money in the streets. So people had to stay in their homes as much as possible. In 1750, Henry Fielding started to pay a group of people to stop thieves. They were like policemen and were called “Bow Street Runners” because they worked near Bow Street. Fifty years later, there were 120 Bow Street Runners, but London had become very big and needed more policemen. So, in 1829, the first London Police Force was started with 3,000 people. Most of the men worked on foot, but a few rode horses. Today, London police are quite well paid and only a few policemen still ride horses. Perhaps the London Police Force’s achievement is to meet changing conditions and provide excellent police service. The two main reasons for the Force’s development were the increase of population and the progress of science and technology. 第二部分 基础知识及运用（共 30 小题，计 40 分） 六、选择填空。 (共15小题，计20分） A. 从以下各题的 A、B、C 三个选项中选择正确答案。（共 10 小题，每小题 1 分；计 10 分） 27.

During the exam, ________ you are, ________ mistakes you’ll make. A. the more careful; the less B. the more careful; the fewer C. the more careless; the less 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：在考试中，你越努力，你犯错误就越少。 考查形容词比较级。careful仔细的，认真的，形容词。careless粗心的，形容词。less较少的，形容词，little的比较级，修饰不可数名词；fewer较少的，形容词，few的比较级，修饰可数名词复数形式。the+比较级+主语+谓语，the+比较级+主语+谓语。表示“越……，就越……”。根据题干中mistakes“错误”，名词复数形式可知，fewer符合第二个空格。故选B。 35. ________ exciting news that Starbucks has brought its first international Starbucks Roastery and Reserve Tasting Room to Shanghai recently!

She had a cough, heart trouble and great pains in her head when she stayed at the places covered with Wi-Fi signals. Rachel has tried many ways to keep away from Wi-Fi signals. In the past six months, she either slept in her car or in a tent which she had put up in woodland or in the fields. She has even tried sleeping in a shed (棚). Being completely tired, Rachel had no choice but to give up her job and moved 370 kilometers away from her home to run away from Wi-Fi signals, but failed. Because of the hard life, she got a stomach problem. She is now living in a small house in rural (乡下的) Wales. There are far fewer Wi-Fi signals. However, the house, which belongs to one of her friends, will be sold to others, so she has to move again soon. Rachel is planning to move to a more rural area. She is also planning to buy a camper van (野营车) so that she can drive away from Wi-Fi signals whenever she is feeling uncomfortable. As she has no job and no income, she has to raise money online. She is hoping to raise 15,000 pounds. So far, she has raised over 1,600 pounds. She still has a long way to go. 67. Rachel didn’t suffer from the problem ________ when she was allergic.

I’ve never heard of it.”可知，紫璇没听说过躲避球，所以想让小明简单介绍一下，give a short introduction“简单介绍”。故填introduction。 【79题详解】 根据“The members that get hit must leave the game. The team with the most players left on the court...”及常识可知，在躲避球比赛中，留在球场上球员最多的队伍获胜，win“获胜”，句子是一般现在时，主语是第三人称单数，动词用三单形式。故填wins。 【80题详解】 根据“Our competing team was a three-time No.1 and was...for strong attacks (攻击).”可知，对手以强大的攻击力而闻名，be famous/known for“因……而闻名”。故填famous/known。 【81题详解】 根据“many of our important players failed,...me.”可知，此处指包括“我”，including“包括”符合语境。故填including。 【82题详解】 根据“For a first-time..., you had already done a good job.”及上文内容可知，此处指第一次参加比赛的选手，player“选手”符合语境，a后跟名词单数。故填player。 【83题详解】 根据“our teammates...knocked out a number of the players in the other team”可知，队友成功地淘汰了对方队伍中的许多球员，successfully“成功地”符合语境，修饰动词。故填successfully。 【84题详解】 根据“knocked out a number of the players in the other team”可知，淘汰了对方队伍中的许多球员，所以对方在球场上剩下的队员更少，fewer“更少的”符合语境，修饰可数名词复数。故填fewer。 【85题详解】 根据“to win, we don’t need to simply knock out the other team.

Give it all possible care and bring the pot to me next year. I’ll check your pots and the winner will become my successor.” The boys carried the seeds (种子) home and planted them.

Some of their plants even developed flowers. The next year, all the other boys came back and showed the results of their efforts. The poor boy sat alone there ____92____ any plant in his pot.

Is it a good thing or a bad thing? ____97____ That’s because the word “smart” has many meanings. For example, someone could say you look smart. That means they like what you are wearing. Or if a friend says something that hurts your feelings, you can say you are smarting from the hurtful words. ____98____ So when your friends get good grades at school, we can call them “smart”.

F 【解析】 【导语】本文围绕“smart”一词，全面探讨了其不同含义、常见用法以及在不同场景下所代表的聪明类型。 【97题详解】 根据“That’s because the word ‘smart’ has many meanings.”可知，此处解释了“smart”这个词有很多意思，所以前面应该说答案不简单，选项C“答案并不像你想的那么简单。”符合，故选C。 【98题详解】 根据“So when your friends get good grades at school, we can call them ‘smart’.”可知，此处解释了“smart”的一种常见意思，选项E“但是“smart”最常见的意思是聪明。”符合，故选E。 【99题详解】 根据“Being smart, however, goes beyond (超越) the classroom.”可知，此处表示聪明不仅仅局限于课堂，还有其他方面的表现，选项B“人们可以在不同的方面表现出聪明。”符合，故选B。 【100题详解】 根据“Sometimes people who are very educated are not so smart when it comes to life skills and people skills.”可知，此处表示受过很多教育的人在生活技能和人际交往技能方面并不一定聪明，选项D“然而，书读得多并不代表一切。”符合，故选D。 【101题详解】 根据“Street-smart people may not have read many books, but they have something valuable, too. — the ability to use their experience in many different situations.”可知，此处解释了“street smart”的人的特点，即他们能很好地利用经验处理实际问题，选项F“也就是说，他们擅长处理实际问题。”符合，故选F。 B. 完成图表。（共 5 小题；每小题 1 分，计 5 分） 根据短文内容，完成图表中所缺信息。 If you’re lost in the wild without a compass guiding you, don’t worry! Here are some easy ways to help you. First, find a straight, long stick. Plant it upright in the ground. Then put a rock on the ground to mark the tip (尖端) of the stick’s shadow. And wait 15-20 minutes. Mark the new location of the tip of the stick’s shadow with another rock. Draw a line between the rocks. Since the sun moves west across the sky, the shadow’s new location will be further east. So mark a “W” on the first location and an “E” on the new one. Put your left foot on “W” and your right one on “E” . Then your front will be north. Secret language of trees Sometimes plants can tell the directions. To us who live in the Northern Hemisphere, the sun is usually in the southern part of the sky. That means leaves will be thicker on the southern side of a tree. And the tops of trees almost always grow towards the south. If you happen to see a stump (树桩) check its growth ring pattern. The tree rings will be thicker on the northern side but thinner on the southern side. Finding the North Star The North Star can show you where true north is in the Northern Hemisphere. This is one of the quickest ways to look for directions at night. First you need to find the Big Dipper, which is the key to finding the North Star. The Big Dipper looks like a spoon made up of seven stars. The end of the “spoon” is made up of 2 stars. Draw a line between them and extend (延长) it to a similarly bright star at the location about 5 times the distance (距离) of these two stars away. That’s the North Star. When you’re facing it, you’re facing true north. 102. ________ ____103____ ____104____ ____105____ ____106____ 108. ________ 109. ________ 110. ________ 【答案】102. the opposite direction 103. 上 (E)；下 (W)；左 (N)；右 (S) 104. growth/growing situations 105. Connect 106. until##till 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了在野外没有指南针时辨别方向的三种方法：影子棒法、利用树木判断方向法和寻找北极星法。 【102题详解】 根据“Since the sun moves west across the sky, the shadow’s new location will be further east”可知，太阳向西移动，影子会朝相反方向移动。故填the opposite direction。 【103题详解】 根据“mark a ‘W’ on the first location and an ‘E’ on the new one”“Put your left foot on ‘W’ and your right one on ‘E’. Then your front will be north”可知，影子新位置对应的是东，下方对应西，左方对应北，右方对应南。故填：上 (E)；下 (W)； 左 (N)； 右 (S)。 【104题详解】 根据“looking at trees’ leaves…tops…seeing stumps”可知，这些是树木的生长情况。故填growth/growing situations。 【105题详解】 根据“Draw a line between them”可知，是将“勺子”末端的两颗星用线连接起来。故填Connect。 【106题详解】 根据“extend it to a similarly bright star at the location about 5 times the distance of these two stars away”可知，是延长线直到找到亮度相似的星星。故填until/till。 五、书面表达（计 15 分） 111. 你校英文杂志New Magazine针对在当前社会，我们更应该“求人”还是“求己”这一现象，征稿同学们对此的看法。部分同学就此展开了激烈的讨论。请以此话题写一篇短文，向杂志社投稿，谈谈你的看法。 要求： 1. 简述该情况； 2. 陈述图表中不同观点及理由； 3. 表述你的观点及两点理由(须与图中不同)。 注意： 1. 需全面反映图表信息，但不能完全照抄； 2. 文中不能出现真实的学校和姓名； 3. 词数：100左右。 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Recently, a heated discussion has been held in our school magazine regarding whether it is better to rely on ourselves or ask others for help when facing problems. Some students, the “Pros”, think it’s better to handle issues independently. They believe this builds character and self-confidence. However, the “Cons” argue that seeking help is wiser, as others may offer valuable advice and support we haven’t thought of. In my opinion, while self-reliance is important, we shouldn’t hesitate to seek help when needed. Firstly, asking for help can save time and effort. Secondly, it can enhance our relationships with others. Therefore, we should balance self-reliance and seeking help. 【解析】 【详解】[总体分析] ①题材：本文是一篇材料作文； ②时态：一般现在时； ③提示：写作要点已给出，考生注意不要遗漏要点，并适当添加细节，突出重点。 [写作步骤] 第一步，介绍讨论情况以及正反两方的观点和理由； 第二步，介绍自己的看法和理由。 [亮点词汇] ①rely on依赖 ②seeking help寻求帮助 ③hesitate犹豫 [高分句型] However, the “Cons” argue that seeking help is wiser, as others may offer valuable advice and support we haven’t thought of.（宾语从句和原因状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $第八期，一听句子，根据所听到的内容选择正确答语，每小题读两遍。One, how does jack learn english?
