牛津上海(本地版)五四制初中英语九年级下册Module 2 Unit 5 A story by Mark Twain单元测试卷(含听力材料)
When the Titanic was built, she was the largest ship in the world. It had taken 50,000 men two years to build her. She was 269 metres long and as high as an eleven storey building. She was huge! In fact, the word "titanic" is often used to describe something which is "very powerful, strong, important or large".
It was built because of increased tourists travel between North America and Europe. The Titanic was like a floating palace. Everything about her was beautiful and comfortable. She was also impossible to sink or that's what everyone thought.
The Titanic left Southampton on the south coast of England for New York on 10 April, 1912. She stopped first in France and then in Ireland before setting off across the Atlantic Ocean. There were 1,632 passengers on board; 907 crew members(船员) looked after them.
Four days after leaving Southampton, the Titanic's captain received not one but four icebergs(冰山) warnings.
Icebergs are very dangerous for ships- only 10% of an iceberg can be seen above the water. But the water was clear and the captain decided to continue without reducing the ship's speed. At 11:40 p.m. the ship hit an iceberg, which cut a hole about 100 metres long underwater. The passengers were not told, but the Titanic could not survive this terrible damage.
It was dark and freezing cold. The ship was filled with water. There was no time to waste. Women and children were told to climb into the ship's lifeboats. But there were not enough lifeboats for all the passengers. Finally, at 2:20 a.m. the Titanic sank to the bottom of the sea. 916 passengers and 673 crew members died in the icy water.
On my weekly math exam, I made a big mistake. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}Even worse, in front of all my classmates he criticized(批评) me! I was angry.

He was so kind that I was deeply moved. My anger went away.
But it wasn't the end. He called me again and gave me some papers that afternoon. They are especially designed for me. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}
In my heart I had nothing left to say, only thanks and sorry. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}I should thank him for he was such a good teacher.
A. He told me to finish them and take it seriously. B. My math teacher wasn't satisfied. C. Because I once misunderstood him. D. I was asked to the office after that class. E. Then he asked again whether I had any problems. |
