内蒙古包头市青山区2020届九年级上学期英语第二次月考试卷

阅读短文,掌握大意,然后从每小题后的A,B,C,D四个选项中,选出一个最佳选项。

    Look around when you're on a subway. What's the most popular time-killing activity? In China, many people play on their cell phones. But in other countries, many people enjoy reading. Chinese people read an average (平均) of 4.5 books during 2015, according to a recent survey. While a US citizen reads 21 a year and a Japanese reads 17, according to UNESCO (联合国教科文组织).

    Reading books builds a bridge between our life and the unknown world. In many foreign countries, people read at any time. Even backpackers enjoy reading books when they're on a break at the beach, or relaxing from swimming.

    In most US middle schools, teachers give students a reading list every few weeks. Most books are easy to read like youth novels. Some schools then hold competitions by asking students details of a book.

    Good reading habits lead you to a lifelong love of books.

    In order to encourage people to read more, China's planning to develop the habit of reading in its law. Although this has both good and bad sides, it can be seen as a way to develop one's reading habits. What can we do to foster good reading habits?

    Read in short periods. Ten minutes on the way to and from school, 10 minutes waiting for friends, 15 minutes before going to sleep. That totals 45 minutes per day, about five hours per week.

    Make your own reading list. Your list can be the best-selling books on famous websites like The New York Times or Dangdang. com, or books your teachers suggest.

    Talk about your reading with your family or friends.

(1)、How many books do Americans read a year?
A、4.5. B、17. C、21. D、10.   
(2)、How do some schools in the US have competitions?
A、By reading more books. B、By telling details of a book. C、By telling exciting stories. D、By reading long time.
(3)、In which country are people developing reading habits by making laws?
A、China. B、The US. C、UNESCO. D、Japan.
(4)、Which of the following is NOT right?
A、Reading can open your eyes to know about the unknown world. B、You can enjoy reading at any time. C、You don't have to read books that your teachers recommend. D、You're supposed to read in short periods.

Anne and Joseph are talking about an interesting question. Why do some people change their names? There can be many reasons. Hanna changed her name to Anne because she thought it would be easier for people to remember. On the other hand , Joseph is thinking about changing his name to an unusual name because he wants to be different. 

People have a lot of reasons for changing their names. Film stars, singers, sportsmen and some famous people often  change their names because they want names that are not ordinary, or that have special sound. They chose the "new names " for themselves instead of the names their parents gave them when they were born. 

Some people have another reason for changing their names. They have moved to a new country and want to use a name that is usual there. For example, Li Kaiming changed his name to Ken Lee when he moved to the United States. He uses the name Ken athis job and at school. But with his family and Chinese friends, he uses Li Kaiming. For some people, using different names makes life easier in their new country. 

In many countries , a woman changes her family name to her husband's after she got married. But today, many women are keeping their own family name and not using their husband's. Sometimes, women use their own names in some situations and their husbands' in other situations. And some use both their own names and their husbands'.

July 17, 2022 was the ninth World Emoji Day. This holiday is to celebrate all the emojis and it's a big day for emoji-lovers. The founder(创始人) of Emojipedia, Jeremy Burge created it in 2014.

The first emojis came out in the late 1990s on mobile phones. They are some small symbols showing ideas or feelings, but today emojis are a useful communication tool. There are over 3,000 thousand different emojis. Five billion emojis are sent every day just on some social medias, such as WeChat. They're appearing in some surprising places too. One court judge in England even used a smiley face emoji in a document to make it easy to explain the court's decision to children.

Now new emojis are invented every year and added on Emojipedia, including A Yellow Face with Three Hearts in 2018, A Face with Medical Mask in 2020, Hearts on Fire in 2021 and A Shaking Face last year. If you want to send someone a message using emoji, check Emojipedia for more. And you can find out what each emoji means and how to use it.

People like emojis because they can show feelings, and are quick and easy to use. With a smiling or sad face added to a message or text, your reader can "see" your facial expression while reading your words. In the Internet Age, emojis help us better understand something, communicate faster, and even may help build successful relationships.

But not everyone thinks the use of emojis is a good thing. Jonathan Jones, a reporter said that the success of emojis is "a step back for humans", hurting people's ability to use languages. But for now, maybe it's best that we just enjoy using them.

A serious earthquake can be a terrible experience, and it is easy to forget safety rules in disorder(混乱). Fortunately, most earthquake safety rules are common sense, but if you forget everything, remember the following instructions: drop, cover, and hold on. Also, most of earthquake deaths happen after the earthquake, so remember that the danger does not end when the shaking does!

If you stay indoors during an earthquake, move away from unsupported areas and windows. Try to get into a doorway or another area of the building which is held up by strong beams(梁). Stay under a table or a desk only if it is very strong. Do not rush to lifts, because it is far safer to stay where you are. Cover your head with your arms around it and curl(蜷缩) into a ball, and wait for the shaking to stop. 

If you stay outdoors during an earthquake, move to an open area. Don't move to buildings, electric poles or other objects which may fall and hurt you during an earthquake. Protect your head and stay low to the ground till the shaking ends and it is safe to move. 

After an earthquake, many buildings are less strong, although they appear safe. If you stay indoors, move people from the building quickly and help the disabled or people who get hurt. Once outdoors, move away from the building so that if it falls down, you will not be hurt. Wait till public safety officials tell you that it is safe to stay indoors. By planning ahead and keeping calm during an earthquake, you can greatly increase your chances of survival without getting hurt.
