广东省汕头市龙湖实验中学2020届九年级上学期英语第一次阶段测试试卷

阅读理解

    Technology is everywhere. In fact, almost all of us carry a certain 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).Whenever I am at home, I am almost always using at least one electronic device. If you walk into my living room on any given day, you will find that, first, I have the television on. At the same time, I usually have my laptop resting on my knee, or I am using my mobile phone. Even when I'm not at home, I am always using my phone, and at work or in cafes, 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.

    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、uses technology a lot B、works in a cafe C、is a computer engineer D、likes modern music
(2)、The underlined word "Recruited" probably means _____ in Chinese in Paragraph 4.
A、预订 B、招募 C、安排 D、警告
(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)、Which of the following is true?
A、The writer is always too busy to help others. B、There is a single room in the writer's house that has some electronic devices. C、The writer can make use of some time to take up a little online volunteering. D、Many organizations only require volunteers to work an hour a day.
(5)、What can be the best title for the passage?
A、Technology. B、Internet Organizations. C、Online Volunteering. D、Online Translation.

    Both seasonal flu, a disease like a very bad cold, and much larger pandemics, like the one caused by H7N9(禽流感) in 2013, are the result of a race between the flu virus  and the immune system which can protect people from illness. Here's how it works.

    Viruses, which cause pandemics, have two important proteins "haemagglutinin(H) and neuraminidase(N).H helps the virus go into a cell .N helps new virus break out of that cell .They are parts of a virus that may be known and dealt with by the immune system

    A flu virus attacks a host cell in order to reproduce itself. But the virus created out of it is quite different now. The virus's genetic material is copied with low fidelity. That difference produces virus which immune system does not always know and deal with immediately. Each year's seasonal virus is therefore a little bit different, and thus requires an updated vaccine to prevent people from getting that disease.

    Pandemics viruses have bigger changes in this process .Many hosts' defences are unprepared for such big changes, which happen three or four times a century .The 1918 pandemics was caused by viruses carrying H1 and N1.Anotber two pandemics in 1957 and 1968 were caused by viruses carrying H2and H3 together with N2.They are numbered by scientists. Much of this change goes on outside humans. A flu is usually from sick binds. Sometimes a bird-flu appears with materiel that enable it to spread among people .The H7N9 is recently worrying scientists in the health center.

    The flu virus sometimes jumps directly from a bird(often a chicken) to a person, but more usually passes through a pig The cells in bird and human are built differently, It means us that the virus needs different sets of material to attack them .Pig cells have features of both so that it can act as a platform in which the virus can fit from one to the other .Even after it has made humans ill, a virus cannot go ca to cause a pandemic unless it also gets the ability to pus easily between people, Luckily, this is something H7N9 has yet to do.

    The unknown world's mystery

    The sea is the biggest unknown part of our world. It covers about seventy-one percent of the earth. There is still much to be discovered about this huge part of water. If the waters of the ocean could be removed, the sea floor with its wide valleys(峡谷), tail mountains and long rivers in the sea would be a special sight.

    Tourism under the deep blue sea

    From tourist submarines(潜艇) to underwater dining, undersea tourism is making a big splash.

    Tourists can now explore(探索) the world under the sea without ever getting wet.

    Tourist submarines

    The popularity of submarine tours has grown fast during these years. Now, submarine tours have been on in more than 20 places worldwide, including the waters around Okinawa and Taiwan's Green Island. The submarines carry nearly 2 million tourists each year. Large windows give passengers special views as the submarines explore colorful coral reefs and sunken ships. Most one-hour tours cost about $ 80.

    Underwater dining

    For a more fantastic experience, tourists can enjoy fine dining under the sea. In 2016 the Hilton Maldives Resort & Spa opened the world's first underwater restaurant, Ithaa. Tourists walk down a staircase into the restaurant, which rests 35 feet in the Indian Ocean. You can have a great ocean view. But this excellent view doesn't come cheap. The dinner costs about $ 400 per person. Be sure to book it early, too, The restaurant seats only 14 people.
