北京市海淀区2019届九年级下学期英语5月期中考试试卷

阅读理解

    My name is Jackson. I'm a great reader with good memory. I remember almost everything I read. But I don't like to speak in class. When Mr.

Knoll announced an oral book report, the idea of going up and having my classmates staring at me while I talked filled me with anxiety.

    As for the date, if the book report was due in two weeks, I would do it right then. Mr. Knoll, though, gave us a month to get the report ready, so I thought I had plenty of time.

    Finally, I chose Fire-Hunter by Jim Kjelgaard. It looked really interesting. I read the first few pages and then I set it aside. I wasn't worried. I had plenty of time. Then the book got buried in the clutter(杂物) in my room.

    Before I knew it, the date of the book report was a week away. Some kids had already finished. I was in a panic. I raced home and found the book. Trembling(颤抖),I turned to the back and discovered there were 218 pages! I read like crazy.

    The last day came. When Mr. Knoll called on me to give my report, I still had eighty pages to go.

    The class looked sorry for me when I pulled myself forward. They could see my fear.

    "My book is Fire-Hunter, by Jim Kjelgaard," I began slowly. Then I started to tell the story and the class seemed interested. To my surprise, I discovered I was enjoying myself. However, I had no idea how the book ended. I really didn't know what came over me. I made up the rest of the story on the spot.

    The class loved it, and applauded as I finished.

    At break time, Mr. Knoll called me over. "You know, Jackson, I don't really remember the book ending that way."

    I gulped(倒吸气).

    "You told a pretty good story," he continued. "The assignment was an oral book report. You did a great job on the oral part."

    "Uh, thanks," I said.

    "When you actually finish Fire-Hunter, please come to me and give me the book report.

    "Yes, I definitely will," I said. I knew I would never make that mistake again.

(1)、How long did Mr. Knoll give students to prepare the book report?

(2)、We know from the passage that ______.

It's 6:00 p. m. Kate's family are having dinner. There is rice, eggs, salads, strawberries and some vegetables like tomatoes, onions and carrots on the table. But Kate doesn't like vegetables. She doesn't want to eat them and puts her bowl away.

" Kate," says her father.

" Where are my hamburgers?" asks Kate.

" Don't think about them. We need to eat healthily," says Mom.

" How about some ice- cream, then?" asks Kate.

" Kate," Dad calls her name again. He thinks the dinner is nice.

 Kate takes a bite(咬一口) of the tomato and quickly spits(吐出) it back into the bowl.

" Kate! Room! Now!" says Dad. He doesn't like her bad eating habits.

 Kate runs to her room and cries, but she soon stops. Usually, her parents will get her some other food she likes if she doesn't eat dinner. So she waits(等待).

 At about 7:00 p. m., Mom tries to get Kate to eat some vegetables, but she says no.

 At 9:00 p. m., Kate wants to eat something, but her parents still don't give her anything to eat.

 At 10:00 p. m., Kate goes to the kitchen and sees some vegetables on the table. They don't look so bad. And you know what? They don't taste so bad, either.

 Kate learns that she should eat healthy food and live a healthy life.

Sharing our school lives

Students from different countries share what their school day is like.

Every morning, I get to school at about 7:15am. After meeting with my friends, we go to our classes. All my classes are 1 hour and 15 minutes long. Between classes, we have a 5-minute break. After the first class, I go to homeroom(年级大教室) for 30 minutes. Then, it's time for a break! I eat a snack and talk with friends. At 10, I walk to my next class. Then there is the third class and lunch. At 12:30,I have the last class, and then I take the bus home with my friends Amy.

My day starts with my debate practice(辩论练习) at home because I am on my school debate team. The first class starts at 9:45 am. Every kid can choose(选择) four to six subjects, like math and music. The children go to different classrooms for the different subjects. In different classes, we can meet different friends in different classrooms. It is great! Our classes in school end at 3:15 pm. Then I go back home. But you also can go to clubs like drama club(戏剧社) if you like.

※The science of hunger

If you've ever been "hungry" — that is so hungry that it makes you angry — you'll be happy to learn that scientists have begun studying the causes of this unpleasant condition and recommending(推荐) fixes. 

Researchers from the University of North Carolina asked some people of hunger to write a story about either their feelings or their daily lives while others not. After a stress(精神压力) experiment, it turned out that people who had written stories about feelings (and were therefore focused on these feelings) felt less stressed or angry, even if they were hungry. 

The main point: Realising how you feel reduces the chance that hunger will influence your feelings. Mindfulness training can help with that. Of course, if you're hungry, eating also helps. 

※A photo a day keeps the doctor away

Taking a photograph each day and sharing it online is a popular hobby. To find out how this habit influences health, British scientists did research by interviewing the creators of online photo journals. They discovered that daily photography improved interviewees' lives in several ways: It made them consider the present, it pushed them to go for walks to get their photos, and it gave them chances to communicate with folks who share their interests. Moreover, it may help some fight against loneliness. 

"I'll stop and take a photograph of this insect sitting on my computer or something. Just taking a moment is very good and beautiful I think, " one participant says.
