广东省东莞中堂六校2016-2017学年九年级下学期英语第二次模拟试题

阅读短文,从每小题所给的四个选项中,选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。

We are excited when we reach our goals, and at that moment we laugh, clap, even are over the moon. Without doubt, good results make us joyful. However, we can not always get what we want and be the winner all the time. Some people can't help doubting, "Are our efforts in vain?"

    The answer is "No". We should remember that we are not only measured by how many goals we've reached, but also by how we've acted, which means the process(过程)is also important.

Here is an example. Fruit is delicious. It takes trees a long time to bear it. In the process of growing, trees have to suffer from bad weather, insect bites and also intentional destruction(故意破坏) from human beings. So it is with us. Our life is like a journey. At the beginning, we set a destination(目标), dreaming of it every night, but we should never forget that we spend most of our time on the journey. Unfortunately, many people only complain about the failure and then give up hope. In fact, it is failure that teaches us to be brave and stand on our own feet.

    I myself deeply believe that only those who have experienced a lot can own the highly-valued character; only those who have taken a lot of adventures can have the chance to succeed. As the saying goes, "No pains, no gains." We are still young, still full of energy, so why are we afraid of failure and why do we hesitate(犹豫) to take an adventure?

    Young men, let's forget results, leave out pains, and just look forward and don't miss any chance on the journey!

(1)、Reaching our goals will make us ________.

A、laugh at others B、be over the moon C、asset another goal D、forget our efforts
(2)、What does the underlined phrase "in vain" mean in Chinese?

A、值得 B、益处 C、高效 D、徒劳
(3)、The writer gives an example of fruit in order to say _________.

A、fruit is delicious B、people can also suffer a lot in life            C、it's hard for a tree to bear fruit D、we should grow trees to get good fruit
(4)、Only those who __________ will get the good character.

A、have gone through a lot B、work very hard C、believe that things will be better and better D、believe in themselves
(5)、What's the best title for this passage ?

A、Stand on Our Own Feet B、Process Is Also Important   C、Don't Doubt Yourself D、Failure Is the Mother Of Success

AI could make it less necessary to learn a foreign language. That's good news for travelers, but bad news for soulful connection. Travel has long been one of the reasons for study unless people start to feel AI tools offer a good enough service. 

Some are worried that apps are turning language learning into a weakening need. Douglas Hofstadter, a writer, has argued that something important will disappear when people talk through machines. He describes giving a not so fluent (流畅的) speech in Chinese, which required a lot of work but offered a great sense of achievement in the end. Who would show off taking a plane to the top of Mount Everest? 

  ★  They don't take the weakening as a big deal. Most people do not move abroad or have the kind of continual contact with a foreign culture that requires them to put in the effort to become fluent. Nor do most people learn languages for the purpose of developing themselves or training their brains. On their holiday, they just want a beer or pizza. 

As AI translation becomes a more popular labor-saving tool, people will divide into two groups, just as the above. There will be those who want to challenge their minds, put themselves in other cultures or force their thinking into new ways. This group will take on language learning, often aided by technology. Others will look at learning a new language with a mix of admiration and confusion, as they might say with extreme sports (极限运动): "Good for you, if that's your thing, but a bit painful for my taste."

However, a focus on the learner alone misses the basically social nature of language. It is a bit like discussing the advantages of close relationship to heart health but turning a blind eye to the inner value of those bonds themselves. When you try to ask directions in broken Japanese or make a joke in simple German, you are making direct communication with someone. And when you speak a language well enough to tell a story with perfect timing or put stress on an argument, that connection is till deeper.

Mr. King was the manager (经理) of a hotel. One weekend all the hotels in the city were full because there was an important meeting. On Friday night, three men came into the hotel and asked for rooms. Mr. King said there were no rooms ready because of the meeting. The men were unhappy.

Mr. King wanted to help them. He remembered that Room 418, a very small room, was empty. He asked them if they would share a room. The three men said they would. Mr. King said the room would be thirty dollars: ten for each one. Each man gave him the money and then went up to the room.

Mr. King soon began to feel sorry. "Thirty dollars is a lot to ask as price for that small room," he thought. He called his assistant(服务员) over and said, "Here is five dollars. Take it to the men in Room 418. I asked too much for their room. "

The assistant took the money. While he was on the way there, he started to think, "How can three men divide(分)five dollars? I'll give them each only one dollar and keep the two dollars for myself. The men will be happy to get something back, and Mr. King will never know. " So the assistant returned one dollar to each man.

Each man had at first paid ten dollars. After the assistant returned them one dollar each, each had paid nine. There were three men, $ 9 ×3 = $ 27. The assistant kept $ 2. $ 27 + $ 2 = $ 29. Where is the missing dollar?

It may surprise you to know that at every Olympic Games, some sports are added and others taken away. For example, did you know that tug- of- war was once an Olympic sport? It was dropped long ago though. In London2012, women's boxing was added. In Rio 2016, golf and rugby sevens were included. Baseball and softball were dropped after Beijing 2008. but returned for Tokyo 2020. Another sport that got approyed for Tokyo 2020 was climbing. One sport that isn't on the list of Olympic Games, is trampoline dodgeball(蹦床躲避球). Both climbing and trampoline dodgeball are popular with teens. That's because you don't need to invest in lots of expensive equinment. The following is more related information about them.

Dodgeball is a team game in which players throw balls at each other. The objective is to beat the opposing team's players by hitting them with a ball, catching a ball( the thrower is out), or forcing a player out of the court. In trampoline dodgeball, the game is the same but takes place on a court made out of trampolines. The court has a bouncy floor and high bouncy walls. It's surrounded by nets to catch the balls. The action is fast and fun, and you'll always have a soft landing if you fall!

When might trampoline dodgeball be an Olympic sport? Nobody knows! New sports must fulfil many strict rules before they're accepted. For example, trampoline dodgeball will need to have one set of rules that everyone follows. This includes playing in the same- sized court using the same type of ball.
