山东省聊城市莘县2019届九年级英语第二次模拟考试试卷（含听力音频）

阅读理解

    What will life in the future be like? Will it be much better than it is now? And what will we be able to do in 10, 20 or 30 years' time?

    Genetic engineering (基因工程)may help us make the perfect human. Babies may grow up to play basketball like Yao Ming or look like Cecilia Cheung. Also, we may be able to bring the dead back to life. Maybe people will be able to meet and talk with their dead family members.

    Over the next 20 to 50 years, it will become harder to tell the difference between humans and machines. Perhaps we will be able to make copies of ourselves, so we will appear to be alive long after we are dead. People may be able to find ways of putting the life of a person into a new body.

    Nanobots(纳米机器人)will be important. We will use them when we are sick. For example, when we have a stomachache, we will swallow (吞下) a nanobot and it will travel through our stomach, taking a video of what's happening there. The video will help the doctor cure us.

    In the future, computers may have their feelings. They may be able to think better than us. We may be more and more interested in computers and the internet, spending all our time in front of computers. Perhaps we will forget our real needs. Perhaps we will become super couch potatoes weighing 250 kg!

（1）、What is the main idea of the second paragraph?
A、What genetic engineering is. B、Why we use genetic engineering. C、How to bring the dead back to life. D、How genetic engineering can help humans.

      Have you ever had the strange feeling that you were being watched? You turned around and, sure enough, someone was looking right at you!
      Parapsychologists (灵学家) say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking at them. To research whether such a “sixth sense” really exists, Robert Baker, a psychologist (心理学家) at the University of Kentucky, did two experiments.
    In the first one, Baker sat behind unknowing people in public places and stared at the backs of their heads for 5 to 15 minutes. The subjects（受试者）were eating, drinking, reading, studying, watching TV, or working at a computer. Baker made sure that the people could not tell that he was sitting behind them during those periods. Later, when he questioned the subjects, almost all of them said they had no sense that someone was staring at them.
      For the second experiment, Baker told the subjects that they would be stared at from time to time from behind in a laboratory setting. The people had to write down when they felt they were being stared at and when they weren't. Baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they weren't.
    Baker concludes that people do not have the ability to sense when they're being stared at. If people doubt the outcome of his two experiments, said Baker, “I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for themselves.”

Spring is coming . The flowers will start blossoming (开花)and the trees will be filled with colors. It's time of the year for people to plant trees. Planting trees is a good way to protect our environment. But most of us don't have a place to plant trees. So what can we do for protecting the environment? We can make a difference from the others. For example, we can think about a way to make people cut down fewer trees. As we know, paper is made from trees. If we use less paper, we can save a lot of trees. Then we may have a problem that how to use less paper. Let me tell you my ideas.
Reducing Our Paper Waste
Every day we just use the paper and we don't think about where the paper comes from.Let us think about wasting a piece of paper is like wasting a tree. We can start with reducing the amount of paper products that we use. This could be done by such a simple way as using e-mail instead of writing notes.		Reusing

We could reuse paper that is clean on one side for drafts, notes and even photocopies. As students, we could reuse paper by doing our research online or at libraries rather than buying lots of written paper. Sharing books or buying a used textbook for school is another way of reusing.		Recycle
We should consider recycling notebook paper, newspapers, magazines and colored paper. We can buy paper towels, tissues, and toilet paper that have been made from recycled paper. Don't throw away the wasted newspapers or books which are not useful to you.

    A desert is a very dry land where there is hardly any rain. In the day, it can be so hot that you could fry an egg on the ground. But during the night it is sometimes so cold that water would turn into ice.
    Many deserts are covered in sand. But some have mountains, rocks, or lakes that have dried up in the heat. The Great American Desert has cliffs（悬崖）that have been made into amazing and beautiful shapes by the wind. The Sahara Desert in Africa is mostly sand. The Australian Desert has red sand.
    Sometimes it does not rain for a whole year in the desert. But there is water deep under the ground and some plants have roots that go very deep to find it. Other plants have roots that spread out a long way so they can suck up the rain as soon as it falls. One desert plant is the cactus, which has long, spreading roots. The cactus stores water inside its hard skin. This skin protects it from heat and cold. Camels are a bit like cactus plants! They store water too—inside their bodies. They have special fur which protects them from the sun during the day and keeps them warm at night.
    Some other animals live in deserts, too. They have to be very good at seeing and hearing because most of them only come out at night. This is why many desert animals have extra big eyes or ears. A desert fox has bigger ears than a normal fox. A gerbil has huge eyes, so that it can see at night. It stays cool in the day by staying underground, like most desert animals.
    Some people live in the desert but they always make their homes near an oasis. An oasis is where water comes from an underground river. Near an oasis, people can grow lots of plants and keep animals.
    Life is hard in the desert, for people, animals and plants. But desert people like to live there.

    People already know a lot about animals. However, there are still some things about animals that may surprise you. Here are some facts about animals you probably didn't know.

    Cows do have best friends and feel stressed when they are separated. Scientists have found that cows are very social animals and a cow always makes friends with other cows. When a cow is with its friends, it feels relaxed, compared with when it is alone.

    During breeding season, a male penguin (企鹅) will offer a small stone to a female penguin as a gift. If she takes it, they will become partners. When the female penguin lays an egg, she and her partner may carry it on their feet, because some penguins don't build nests (鸟巢).

    Crocodiles (鳄鱼) swallow (吞) stones. Crocodiles always swallow their food instead of eating it like other animals. They swallow stones which break the food into very small pieces in their stomachs. These stones may stay in their stomachs all their lives.

    Elephants use plants to treat pain or other illness. Scientists once found a pregnant (怀孕的) elephant in Africa who ate a kind of plant which was not part of her normal food. Four days later, she gave birth to a baby elephant. The same plant was used by the local pregnant women.

Nowadays, "toilet revolution" is a thing in China.China is investing seven billion yuan in the project.The money is spent building or upgrading (改进) toilets in 30,000 villages.

Experts have agreed that a "toilet revolution" is very important.Better toilets mean healthier lives and better living standards.Better toilets can also help encourage tourism and improve the economy.

"Toilet revolution" was started in 2015.Chinese president Xi Jinping then called for improvement to toilets across China.The government has invested more than 1.6 billion yuan in the project since then.Nearly 70,000 toilets have been built or upgraded.By the end of 2017, 45 percent of rural residents (居民) had been using standard toilets.In 2013, that number was only 36 percent.

In cities popular with tourists, more expensive toilets have been built.These toilets have ATMs, Wi­Fi and recharging (充电) stations for mobile phones.Some toilets, meanwhile, have been expanded (扩大). Now, they have special cubicles (隔间) for the disabled and adults with young children.

China, in fact, is not alone in focusing on toilets.According to Bill Gates' foundation, forty percent of the world's population doesn't have flush toilets.UNICEF (联合国儿童基金会) says at least 1.2 million young children die of diarrhea each year.Contact with human waste is the main cause.Gates says toilets of the future will be able to save 800 lives every day.
