山西省太原市明德中学2020年九年级英语中考摸底考试试卷
That was the end of the term. When we were studying something about DNA, Mr. Kwak, the science teacher, told us to prepare for a debate (辩论). I was a little worried. We found we were against a group which was filled with native English-speaking students, while there was only one American boy in our group. However, we didn't dread the challenge. Our topic was "Should college accept students based on their DNA traits(特征)?" We opposed this thought.
I took the role of Q&A. When I went back to the dormitory, I asked for help from an experienced debater in college. He taught me how to express ideas, search for information on different websites and list the points.
After a week's preparation, I stood on the stage with a well-thought plan in my mind. Then I noticed that the hope of our group, the American boy, was sick that day. His position of first speaker was empty. I had to take his position and plan my materials and data again. Before the debate, I kept asking myself what if I couldn't understand what they were saying, and what if they included some idioms(惯用语) that I didn't even know. I was even nervous. But when I stood in front of the whole class, I saw trust and encouragement from my group members. I started to cool down. I fluently stated our opinions and asked questions. When our opponents(对手) had their opening speech, I wrote down some points to retort(反驳) them. Although Mr. Kwak didn't tell me who won the debate, I believe I have already learned a lot. Never lose confidence and you will surely win.
Rock climbing(攀岩)did not become a sport until in the late 19th century. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}
While rock climbing may still be necessary for mountain climbing, most people just climb low mountains for fun.
If you have ever done rock climbing, you will know that it is not a very easy sport. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} What most people don't know is that rock climbing is one of the sports that depend on your body and mind(意志).
To climb successfully, one must use wonderful skills. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Another important rule is that your arms only hold you close to the rock face while your legs are pushing you up. The closer you are to the rock face, the easier it is to climb.
{#blank#}4{#/blank#} Once you start to learn how to climb, you'll find more fun. People who like games such as chess playing or problem—solving may love rock climbing, because they are nearly the same in the way of thinking. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Anyone who enjoys a difficult game and loves the outdoors should think of taking rock climbing as a new hobby.
