He walked freely in the park just as we had planned he would, and ran after the deer and the rabbits whenever he felt like it; but he never did learn how to kill for himself. You can’t teach old lions new tricks. He lived on deer mostly, and slept on a sofa in our living room—I wouldn’t have him inside our bedroom, no matter how often Bertie asked. You know, I have to draw the line somewhere. Bertie’s leg was never cured. When it was bad, he often needed a stick, or me, or the lion to lean on. It pained him a lot, especially on cold and wet days, and he never slept well. On Sundays the three of us would walk around the park together, and Bertie would sit on the top of Wood Hill with his arm around the lion’s neck and I would fly kites. You know, I’ve always loved kites. And the lion liked to break them into pieces. The lion never showed any interest in running away, and even if he’d wanted to, the park wall was too high for an old lion to jump over. Wherever Bertie went, he wanted to go too. And if ever Bertie went out in the car, then he'd sit by me in the kitchen, and watch me with those great amber eyes, listening all the while for the sound of Bertie’s car coming up the path to the front of the house. The lion was getting older. And he became weak in his legs and could see very little. He spent his last days sleeping at Bertie’s feet. When he died, we buried（埋葬）him at the bottom of the hill. Bertie wanted it that way so he could always see the place from the kitchen window. I suggested Bertie plant a tree in case he forgot where the lion was. “I will, but he should get more than a tree.” Bertie said. Bertie was sad for weeks, months after the lion died. There was nothing I could do to cheer him or even comfort him. He would sit for hours in his room, or go off on long walks by himself. He seemed so sad inside himself, so distant. Try as I did, I could not reach him. （Adapted from The Butterfly Lion） 24. What did Bertie’s wife mean by saying “I have to draw the line somewhere”? A. She would like the lion to sit by her. B. She didn’t expect Bertie to keep the lion. C. She didn’t allow the lion to enter their bedroom. D. She wanted to stop the lion walking freely in the park. 25. What can be inferred from the story? A. Bertie’s leg was badly hurt by the lion. B. The lion wanted to leave Bertie’s family. C. Bertie’s wife would plant a tree for the lion. D. Bertie loved the lion more than his wife did. 26. The story is mainly about ________. A. Bertie and his wife-the owners of the lion B. tricks that Bertie and his wife taught the lion C. the habits that the lion formed in Bertie’s family D. the last days the lion spent with Bertie and his wife C It was dark and I was standing in front of a stranger’s house in an unfamiliar street. The little bird waiting inside the house would be my first test as a volunteer wildlife rescuer (救助者). A kind-looking man led me inside to see my first patient. I would have to look confident, like I’d done this kind of thing many times before. I lifted the edge of the shoe box very slightly to see a bird standing on very thin legs. The bird seemed very aghast, so I decided not to catch it by hand but just move the whole shoe box into my rescue box. I hadn’t seen this species (物种) of bird before, so I searched the Internet for its information: a rufous fantail, so called because of its red-brown tail feathers that, when fully open, spread out into a neat little “fan”. I phoned the bird specialist of the rescue group. She told me this species hunts insects on the wing and keeping it longer than overnight would only do it harm. I waited until dusk the next day, which would provide the cover of darkness, to set it free. I held the bird up as high as I could to give it a good lift off and open the flap. The little bird flew off quickly into the darkness. My first successful rescue was not just a second chance for the bird. Five months earlier, I received a cancer diagnosis (诊断) and I was now at the point where I wasn’t planning my days around hospital visits. For me, it was making room in my life for wildlife rescue. I’d been interested in animals ever since I was a young girl but had always thought that I’d missed that boat. But I heard about a local wildlife rescue group that was looking for volunteers, and was holding a two-day intensive (强化的) course in wildlife rescue. I had a free weekend. The only thing stopping me was a lack (缺乏) of confidence. I generally didn’t put my hand up for tasks that I might fail in, especially in public. But the wildlife rescue organization was willing to take a chance on me, then I could find the courage to take on the responsibility of this role. And one day, there was a small bird picked up by an elderly man who’d looked out of his front window after hearing bird calls. It was in a box waiting just for me. 27. What does the underlined word “aghast” mean in this story? A. quiet B. bored C. excited D. scared 28. What can we infer from the passage? A. The rescue was a change in direction for the writer. B. The rescue mainly helps these birds to search for food. C. The writer would like to be a rescuer when she was young. D. The writer felt hopeless after receiving the cancer diagnosis. 29. Which can be the best title of the story? A. Just for Me B. A Second Chance C. A Kind Girl D. A Successful Rescue D The end of the year is drawing near, and winter is in full activity. The season brings along with its strong winds and snow — an environment that’s never comfortable to be in. This unpleasant and even frightening part of winter can be often seen in literature. In Shakespeare’s King Lear (1606), the king has given away his kingdom and been driven out by his two ungrateful daughters. He is out in the winter cold, suffering (遭受痛苦) things that are usually saved for the poorest and most unlucky human beings. The winter is bad enough for Lear, but being driven out by his family is worse. A song from another Shakespeare’s play, As You Like It (1599), is fitting for this poor old man’s situation: “Blow, blow, thou winter wind/Thou art not so unkind/As man’s ingratitude (忘恩负义)”. Here, winter is used to bring out the ugliness of inhumanity (无人性). There aren’t many things that are worse than winter, according to Shakespeare. Once winter became less of a danger to human beings, it became more positive in literary works. Since Charles Dickens, the representation of the season in literature often has something to do with happy Christmas celebrations. The cold of the winter weather provides a contrast (对比) to the fun going on indoors. Dickens’ A Christmas Carol (1843) was the start of this, but Christmas is still a common, cheery element (元素) in stories that feature winter scenes today. Consider the joy felt by Harry Potter and his friends in J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (1997) as they sit down for their festive meal： “Harry had never in all his life had such a Christmas dinner. A hundred fat, roast turkeys; mountains of roast and boiled potatoes; platters of chipolatas; tureens of buttered peas, silver boats of thick, rich gravy and cranberry sauce.” It is almost as much a pleasure to read about the meal as it might have been to eat it. Although winter still isn’t the most cheerful season in novels and poems, it’s safe to say that writers have surely “warmed up” since Shakespeare’s days. 30. What can we learn from Shakespeare’s works? A. Winter is compared with the ugly side of humanity. B. Shakespeare didn’t like winter for its bad weather. C. It’s in winter when King Lear drove his two daughters off. D. King Lear was forced to give away his kingdom in a cold winter. 31. The author mentions Charles Dickens in the passage because _________. A. a lot of his works are related to winter B he started a new way of representing winter C. he is the most popular author of winter stories D. his works make people feel cheerful in winter 32. The example of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone is used mainly to show _________. A. Christmas is still a symbol of joy in modern stories B. traditional Christmas food makes the winter cheery C. it’s a pleasure to read Christmas-related books in winter D. winter has become the happiest season in literary works 33. The author’s main purpose in writing this article is to _________. A. recommend some winter stories in literature B explain what winter is like in literary works C. describe certain customs that are related to winter D. tell us why winter is described as unpleasant in literature 五、词汇6' 34. The fire that swept through Wang Fuk Court is ________ (probable) the most serious one in Hong Kong’s recent history. 35. The deadly fire took 128 lives and over 200 were reported ________ (miss). 36. To carry the trapped to ________ (safe), firefighters worked tirelessly during the 43-hour battle with the blaze. 37. Shortly afterwards, the government played an active ________ (角色) in carrying out the disaster relief operations. 38. Besides, thanks to a number of ________ (女演员们的) efforts, an official fund has received HK$500 million in public donations. 39. What a lesson! Preventing fires in daily practice is much more important than we might ________ (料想). 六、动词填空8' 40. ________ (wound) with a gun, the policeman kept running after the kidnapper across half of the town. 41. The old door ________ (not shut) easily and it needs repairing. 42. The homeless man was last seen ________ (bleed) a lot on Christmas Eve. 43.

Before that, 3D printing wasn’t so important. Now, however, industries have begun using additive manufacturing. 3D printing in fashion More and more people have begun using 3D printing in industries such as food and fashion. However, there has not been an active market for 3D-printed shoes for years. The possibilities with shoes may be endless. There are risks in the fashion and shoe industries when considering a long-term move to 3D printing. This would mean a change of design and production methods with a huge cost of buying new machines and materials. It is a risk without certain profit (收益), but the future of 3D-printed shoes is unbelievable because these shoes are recyclable (可回收的). It is unusual and it is a business risk. But it could be part of saving the planet from the thousands of shoes that end up in landfills (垃圾填埋场) every year. 3D printing in food Even more excellent is 3D-printed food. Beginning with a paste (糊状物) and then the printer produces shapes and designs from a computer. This process is not easy, but restaurants and food companies are still trying out the technology. At Columbia University, researchers have begun using lasers (激光) to cook the food as it prints, opening up the world of cooking. Once, they produced a piece of cheesecake in 30 minutes. While the researchers believe the technology will continue to grow and gain interest, it is currently much too expensive for people to use regularly. 48. How was 3D printing before 1986? ________________________________ 49. What industries have used 3D printing according to the passage? ________________________________ 50. Why can 3D-printed shoes save the planet? ________________________________ 51. How did the researchers open up the world of cooking? ________________________________ 52. What do you think of the future of 3D printing? ________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 无锡市大桥实验A Test For 9A Units 7 & 8 一、听力（略） 二、单项选择10' 1.

You can’t teach old lions new tricks. He lived on deer mostly, and slept on a sofa in our living room—I wouldn’t have him inside our bedroom, no matter how often Bertie asked. You know, I have to draw the line somewhere. Bertie’s leg was never cured. When it was bad, he often needed a stick, or me, or the lion to lean on. It pained him a lot, especially on cold and wet days, and he never slept well. On Sundays the three of us would walk around the park together, and Bertie would sit on the top of Wood Hill with his arm around the lion’s neck and I would fly kites. You know, I’ve always loved kites. And the lion liked to break them into pieces. The lion never showed any interest in running away, and even if he’d wanted to, the park wall was too high for an old lion to jump over. Wherever Bertie went, he wanted to go too. And if ever Bertie went out in the car, then he'd sit by me in the kitchen, and watch me with those great amber eyes, listening all the while for the sound of Bertie’s car coming up the path to the front of the house. The lion was getting older. And he became weak in his legs and could see very little. He spent his last days sleeping at Bertie’s feet. When he died, we buried（埋葬）him at the bottom of the hill. Bertie wanted it that way so he could always see the place from the kitchen window. I suggested Bertie plant a tree in case he forgot where the lion was. “I will, but he should get more than a tree.” Bertie said. Bertie was sad for weeks, months after the lion died. There was nothing I could do to cheer him or even comfort him. He would sit for hours in his room, or go off on long walks by himself. He seemed so sad inside himself, so distant. Try as I did, I could not reach him. （Adapted from The Butterfly Lion） 24. What did Bertie’s wife mean by saying “I have to draw the line somewhere”? A. She would like the lion to sit by her. B. She didn’t expect Bertie to keep the lion. C. She didn’t allow the lion to enter their bedroom. D. She wanted to stop the lion walking freely in the park. 25. What can be inferred from the story? A. Bertie’s leg was badly hurt by the lion. B. The lion wanted to leave Bertie’s family. C. Bertie’s wife would plant a tree for the lion. D. Bertie loved the lion more than his wife did. 26. The story is mainly about ________. A. Bertie and his wife-the owners of the lion B. tricks that Bertie and his wife taught the lion C. the habits that the lion formed in Bertie’s family D. the last days the lion spent with Bertie and his wife 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了一个老夫妇和他们的宠物狮子——白色王子的故事。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据“I wouldn’t have him inside our bedroom, no matter how often Bertie asked. You know, I have to draw the line somewhere.”（我不会让他进我们的卧室，不管伯蒂问了多少次。你知道，我总得有个底线。）可推知，此句的意思是我的底线是不允许狮子进入卧室，故选C。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Bertie was sad for weeks, months after the lion died. There was nothing I could do to cheer him or even comfort him. He would sit for hours in his room, or go off on long walks by himself. He seemed so sad inside himself, so distant. Try as I did, I could not reach him.”（狮子死后，伯蒂伤心了好几个星期，好几个月。我无法让他高兴起来，甚至无法安慰他。他会在自己的房间里一坐就是几个小时，或者一个人出去散步。他的内心是那么封闭，那么疏远。尽管我努力了，还是帮不上他。）可推知，伯蒂对狮子的爱胜过妻子对狮子的爱，故选D。 【26题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“The lion was getting older. And he became weak in his legs and could see very little. He spent his last days sleeping at Bertie’s feet. When he died, we buried（埋葬）him at the bottom of the hill.”（狮子越来越老了。他的双腿发软，几乎什么也看不见。他最后的日子都睡在伯蒂的脚边。他死后，我们把他埋在了山脚下。）及结合全文，可知本文主要介绍了狮子和伯蒂以及他的妻子度过的最后的日子，故选D。 C It was dark and I was standing in front of a stranger’s house in an unfamiliar street. The little bird waiting inside the house would be my first test as a volunteer wildlife rescuer (救助者). A kind-looking man led me inside to see my first patient. I would have to look confident, like I’d done this kind of thing many times before. I lifted the edge of the shoe box very slightly to see a bird standing on very thin legs. The bird seemed very aghast, so I decided not to catch it by hand but just move the whole shoe box into my rescue box. I hadn’t seen this species (物种) of bird before, so I searched the Internet for its information: a rufous fantail, so called because of its red-brown tail feathers that, when fully open, spread out into a neat little “fan”. I phoned the bird specialist of the rescue group. She told me this species hunts insects on the wing and keeping it longer than overnight would only do it harm. I waited until dusk the next day which would provide the cover of darkness, to set it free. I held the bird up as high as I could to give it a good lift off and open the flap. The little bird flew off quickly into the darkness. My first successful rescue was not just a second chance for the bird. Five months earlier, I received a cancer diagnosis (诊断) and I was now at the point where I wasn’t planning my days around hospital visits. For me, it was making room in my life for wildlife rescue. I’d been interested in animals ever since I was a young girl but had always thought that I’d missed that boat. But I heard about a local wildlife rescue group that was looking for volunteers, and was holding a two-day intensive (强化的) course in wildlife rescue. I had a free weekend. The only thing stopping me was a lack (缺乏) of confidence. I generally didn’t put my hand up for tasks that I might fail in, especially in public. But the wildlife rescue organization was willing to take a chance on me, then I could find the courage to take on the responsibility of this role. And one day, there was a small bird picked up by an elderly man who’d looked out of his front window after hearing bird calls. It was in a box waiting just for me. 27. What does the underlined word “aghast” mean in this story? A. quiet B. bored C. excited D. scared 28. What can we infer from the passage? A. The rescue was a change in direction for the writer. B. The rescue mainly helps these birds to search for food. C. The writer would like to be a rescuer when she was young. D. The writer felt hopeless after receiving the cancer diagnosis. 29. Which can be the best title of the story? A. Just for Me B. A Second Chance C. A Kind Girl D. A Successful Rescue 【答案】27. D 28. A 29. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者作为一名野生动物救助者，成功放飞一只鸟，不仅是给了鸟重获生命的权力，也是给自己一次重拾信心的机会。 【27题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“so I decided not to catch it by hand but just move the whole shoe box into my rescue box.”可知，小鸟看起来很害怕，所以作者决定不用手抓住它，而是把整个鞋盒搬到救援箱里，所以划线单词与scared同义，故选D。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据“My first successful rescue was not just a second chance for the bird. Five months earlier, I received a cancer diagnosis (诊断) and I was now at the point where I wasn’t planning my days around hospital visits.”可知，作者第一次成功救助不仅仅是给了这只鸟机会，也是给了自己坚强活下去的机会，所以这次救助对于作者来说是一个重大的改变，故选A。 【29题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文可知，作者第一次成功救助了一只鸟，这样的经历让作者明白，不但是给了鸟的二次机会，也是给予自己的二次机会，让作者勇敢地活下去，所以B选项“第二次机会”最能符合本文的主题，故选B。 D The end of the year is drawing near, and winter is in full activity. The season brings along with its strong winds and snow — an environment that’s never comfortable to be in. This unpleasant and even frightening part of winter can be often seen in literature. In Shakespeare’s King Lear (1606), the king has given away his kingdom and been driven out by his two ungrateful daughters. He is out in the winter cold, suffering (遭受痛苦) things that are usually saved for the poorest and most unlucky human beings. The winter is bad enough for Lear, but being driven out by his family is worse. A song from another Shakespeare’s play, As You Like It (1599), is fitting for this poor old man’s situation: “Blow, blow, thou winter wind/Thou art not so unkind/As man’s ingratitude (忘恩负义)”. Here, winter is used to bring out the ugliness of inhumanity (无人性). There aren’t many things that are worse than winter, according to Shakespeare. Once winter became less of a danger to human beings, it became more positive in literary works. Since Charles Dickens, the representation of the season in literature often has something to do with happy Christmas celebrations. The cold of the winter weather provides a contrast (对比) to the fun going on indoors. Dickens’ A Christmas Carol (1843) was the start of this, but Christmas is still a common, cheery element (元素) in stories that feature winter scenes today. Consider the joy felt by Harry Potter and his friends in J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (1997) as they sit down for their festive meal： “Harry had never in all his life had such a Christmas dinner. A hundred fat, roast turkeys; mountains of roast and boiled potatoes; platters of chipolatas; tureens of buttered peas, silver boats of thick, rich gravy and cranberry sauce.” It is almost as much a pleasure to read about the meal as it might have been to eat it. Although winter still isn’t the most cheerful season in novels and poems, it’s safe to say that writers have surely “warmed up” since Shakespeare’s days. 30. What can we learn from Shakespeare’s works? A. Winter is compared with the ugly side of humanity. B. Shakespeare didn’t like winter for its bad weather. C. It’s in winter when King Lear drove his two daughters off. D. King Lear was forced to give away his kingdom in a cold winter. 31. The author mentions Charles Dickens in the passage because _________. A. a lot of his works are related to winter B. he started a new way of representing winter C. he is the most popular author of winter stories D. his works make people feel cheerful in winter 32. The example of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone is used mainly to show _________. A. Christmas is still a symbol of joy in modern stories B. traditional Christmas food makes the winter cheery C. it’s a pleasure to read Christmas-related books in winter D. winter has become the happiest season in literary works 33. The author’s main purpose in writing this article is to _________. A. recommend some winter stories in literature B. explain what winter is like in literary works C. describe certain customs that are related to winter D. tell us why winter is described as unpleasant in literature 【答案】30. A 31. B 32. A 33. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要向我们描述了文学作品中的冬天是什么样子的，以及在不同文学作品中冬天的含义。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Here, winter is used to bring out the ugliness of inhumanity.”可知，在莎士比亚的作品中，冬天被比作人类丑陋的一面。故选A。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Since Charles Dickens, the representation of the season in literature often has something to do with happy Christmas celebrations.”可推断出，文章提到查尔斯·狄更斯，是因为在他之前的作品对冬天的描述都是残忍的不好的，自他以后，对冬天的描述变得不一样了。故选B。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据“but Christmas is still a common, cheery element (元素) in stories that feature winter scenes today. Consider the joy felt by Harry Potter...”可知，作者用《哈利波特与魔法石》的例子主要是用来说明，圣诞节仍是现代故事中欢乐的象征。故选A。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要向我们描述了文学作品中的冬天是什么样子的，以及在不同文学作品中冬天的含义。由此推断出作者写这篇文章的目的是：阐述文学作品中的冬天是什么样子。故选B。 五、词汇6' 34.

Before that, 3D printing wasn’t so important. Now, however, industries have begun using additive manufacturing. 3D printing in fashion More and more people have begun using 3D printing in industries such as food and fashion. However, there has not been an active market for 3D-printed shoes for years. The possibilities with shoes may be endless. There are risks in the fashion and shoe industries when considering a long-term move to 3D printing. This would mean a change of design and production methods with a huge cost of buying new machines and materials. It is a risk without certain profit (收益), but the future of 3D-printed shoes is unbelievable because these shoes are recyclable (可回收的). It is unusual and it is a business risk. But it could be part of saving the planet from the thousands of shoes that end up in landfills (垃圾填埋场) every year. 3D printing in food Even more excellent is 3D-printed food. Beginning with a paste (糊状物) and then the printer produces shapes and designs from a computer. This process is not easy, but restaurants and food companies are still trying out the technology. At Columbia University, researchers have begun using lasers (激光) to cook the food as it prints, opening up the world of cooking. Once, they produced a piece of cheesecake in 30 minutes. While the researchers believe the technology will continue to grow and gain interest, it is currently much too expensive for people to use regularly. 48. How was 3D printing before 1986? ________________________________ 49. What industries have used 3D printing according to the passage? ________________________________ 50. Why can 3D-printed shoes save the planet? ________________________________ 51 How did the researchers open up the world of cooking? ________________________________ 52. What do you think of the future of 3D printing? ________________________________ 【答案】48. It wasn’t so important./It was not important./It hadn’t been in use. 49. Food and fashion. 50.
