江苏省无锡江南中学2016届九年级上学期英语期中考试试卷

根据短文理解,选择正确答案。

    A beautiful and very successful actress played the lead role in a new musical show. Her home was in the countryside, but she did not want to go back there every night, so she bought an expensive house in the centre of the city, she got some beautiful furniture(家具) and had a man to paint the rooms in new colours.

    It was very difficult to get tickets for her show, because everybody wanted to see it. So she decided to give the painter two of the best seats. She hoped that this would make him work better for her. He took the tickets without saying anything, and she heard no more about them until the end of the month, when she got the painter's bill (帐单). At the bottom of it were these words: “Four hours watching Miss Hall sing and dance : 3 pounds,” with this note: “ After 5 p.m. I get 15 shillings (先令) an hour instead of 10 shillings.”

When he got there, he found the school was in2 condition and there were only 12students.3 of the kids were too shy to look at him. As time went by, Gu4 realized that they were lonely because their parents mostly worked in big cities. The headmaster of the school told him that they had to5 not only children's studies and lives, but also their mental state(精神状态), helping them learn to dream and be more confident.

One day, while Gu was playing the guitar during lunch break in his room, he noticed that the children who6 behind the door were staring at his guitar. At that moment, Gu felt like he was making a connection with the children through music, so the idea to teach7 guitar and music came to him. "I know the8 of music. Although I don 't know children very well, music can build a mutual (互相的) understanding and trust between us,"Gu said.

The school's headmaster and teachers tried hard to borrow guitars9 the children could learn music. "To my surprise, the children learn very quickly. They have changed a lot so far. It is the old10 that brings new life to Haiga Primary school," Gu said.

This spring,the most eye—catching movie might be YOLO(《热辣滚烫》). By March 18,it had made around 3. 5 billion yuan at the box office,reported Paper. 

Directed by 41-year-old Jia Ling,the movie tells the story of a woman tired of the world,finding herself and learning to love life through boxing(拳击). The name of YOLO is short for the movie's main idea—you only live once. 

Jia Ling has tried many different roles in her life,including crosstalk(相声) and sketch(小品) performer,variety show(综艺节目) guest and actress. The movie Hi,Mom 2019(《你好,李焕英》) is the first one Jia directed in her life. 

Jia didn't study directing at university. It makes her feel freer in film making because she doesn't need to follow a fixed style. To everyone's surprise,Hi,Mom 2019 made her the world's highest—grossing(票房最高的) woman director before 2023. 

Before making YOLO,Jia was often seen as an overweight comedian(喜剧演员). She often made jokes about herself to make people laugh. For this movie,Jia lost more than 50 kg which made it hard to imagine that this is the same Jia we once knew. Some people online said even her voice became softer,and they called this a"rebirth"for Jia. She has proved through her actions that if you want to be successful,you need to try your best. 

In Jia's eyes,her change in identity(身份) and look is her way of saying true to herself. "It's hard to predict one's life. I'm just following my heart but not looking for changes in purpose. Movies are now the best way to show myself,so I put all my energy into them. "Jia told Xinhua. 

"In fact,Jia didn't change. She's just being more herself. She shows us through her actions. "said talk show host Chen Luyu.
