浙江省台州市黄岩实验中学2019届九年级下学期英语第一次月考英语试卷(含听力音频)

阅读理解

    Technology is everywhere. We see it any place we go and, in fact, almost all of us carry some piece of technology with us every time we leave the house. What I always forget, though, is just how useful and powerful technology can be when we want to help others.

    There is not a single room in my house that does not have some electronic devices (设备)lying around in it. Whenever I am at home, I am almost always using at least one electronic device. If you walked into my living room on any given day, you would find that, first, I have the television on. At the same time, I usually have my laptop resting on my knee, or I will be using my mobile phone. Even when I'm not at home I am always using my phone, and at work or in cafés, I sit down and connect to the local wireless network on my laptop.

    I must say that I waste a lot of time on the computer and the time I spend on it could be much better spent if I were to take up a little online volunteering.

    The technology we carry about everywhere can have a great power to do good for the world and to help others and recently I discovered just how much online volunteering there is to do in the world. From using your language skills to do translations, to developing and managing projects and helping with IT work, there is so much that so many people can do to help people in their own countries and across the world. The United Nations, in fact, has a huge page with "Volunteers Recruited" on its website.

    This work can support the poor and help charities who cannot pay for staff members. Many organizations only require you to work an hour a week﹣some even less. And the support provided by online volunteers can really help make a difference to those in need.

(1)、From Paragraph 2, we can know that the writer          .
A、is a computer engineer B、works in a café C、uses technology a lot D、likes modern music
(2)、The underlined word" Recruited" in Paragraph 4 means"          ".
A、Ordered B、Visited C、Wanted D、Warned
(3)、In the writer's opinion, people should spend more time             with technology.
A、working on computer programs B、keeping the Internet safe C、inventing electronic products D、helping people in need
(4)、What can be the best title for the passage?
A、Online Volunteering B、Internet Organizations C、Website Design D、Online Translation

You may have a house robot that can do housework for you. But is it so smart?Met Laura,a robot in the National Library in Madrid. Spain,copying out the old books and writings in its collection. See Aurora,a headless dog-sized robot used to keep birds and other animals away at an Alaskan airport. Watch another 1. 8 meter-tall legless robot called EveR6,waving its arms to guide musicians through a performance. 

Those robots above require artificial intelligence(AD)(人工智能). AI is a computer system(系统)that can understand languages,make decisions and solve problems. AI can be taught skills using a process called machine learning. Humans give AI information such as books,photos or videos to train it. The more information it studies, the better it can do its job. 

_________ For example, when you watch TV,Al is watching you. It'll know what your favorite is and suggest similar ones. In hospitals,AI is very good at suggesting treatments and can even invent new medicines. To cut down food waste,some schools introduce online systems for the students to choose meals ahead of time. In cities, AI is used to watch out for cars that make black smoke. It works together with the police and transportation teams to stop them and keep the air clean. Al can help us fight climate(气候)change by finding clever ways to reduce energy use. 

Some people worry that AI will take away a large number of jobs and also fear that AI could develop out of our control and bring danger to humans. However,AI is expected to be a more powerful production tool that will help humans achieve more in less time. It is believed that the flying car will be made to offer an easier way out of the morning traffic jam(交通堵塞). Humans imagine AI might even use a way to solve the problems of our energy needs completely. Anyway,there is still long journey for humans and AI.

阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

Some people have sensitive (敏感的) feet or skin. Others may have a hard time laughing at their own mistakes. Perhaps you live with someone like this. But can you imagine living with a sensitive plant?

 Now, imagine that your hand is a green plant stem(茎) and each of your fingers is a leaf. Use your other hand to touch your leaf fingers. One at a time, close each leaf finger. until you have made a fist. Quickly drop your hand down to your leg. Wait a little while, and then slowly bring your hand back to its original(原来的) position.

 It's just this kind of behavior that has made the sensitive plant get its name. Brush your fingers gently across the leaves of the sensitive plant, and the leaves at once fold up(合拢) like tiny green fingers. The stems drop down as if ready to fall off the plant. About ten minutes later, the leaves open again, and the stems rise again! Sensitive plants are easy to grow inside your house. They simply need to get plenty of water and sunlight. But touching the plant too often can cause the plant to lose its leaves. A sensitive plant that loses many of its leaves may become unhealthy.

 Imagine the fun you can have: introducing a friend to your plant! Have your friend stand close to the plant to tell it jokes. Touch your plant with a finger, and watch your friend's reaction when the plant seems to drop down slowly to say"no". Be sure to tell your friend the true cause of the plant's behavior later, though. You don't want your friend to become overly sensitive about his jokes!
