浙江省衢州市菁才中学2016届九年级上学期英语期末考试试卷

阅读下列短文,从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。

    It takes a lot of skills and hard work to set a world record in pumpkin-carving(雕刻南瓜). Steve Clarke, a sixth-grade teacher from Pennsylvania, is a famous carver(雕刻师). Clarke has set many world records for carving pumpkins quickly. When he competes, he must cut our two eyes, two eyebrows, a nose, a mouth, and two ears as fast as possible. But Clarke knows something else about pumpkin-carving. It's easier to get a record than to keep it.

    He took the title in 2000 when he carved a pumpkin face in 74.8 seconds. That time was 19 seconds faster than what Jerry had set. From then on, Clarke broke his own records five times. In 2006, he set his best time in Florida. His winning time was 24.03 seconds!

    The only problem is that someone finally beat that mark. On October 7, 2010, David set the new record with 20.1 seconds. Clarke was not able to break that record this year, but he has planned to break the record. After Halloween, he will go to local pumpkin farms to practise designs and new skills.

    Clarke is popular because of his super pumpkin-carving skills. In 1999, he carved more than 30 pumpkins at the Halloween party for then vice-president Al Gore.

When I was 16 years old, I made my first visit to the US. It wasn't the first time I had been 1 . Like most English children, I learnt French 2  school and I had often been to France. So I was used to speaking a foreign language to people who didn't understand 3 . When I went to America, I was really looking forward to 4  a nice and easy holiday. I hoped there were not any 5  problems. How 6 . I was! The misunderstanding began at the airport. I was 7  a public telephone to give my American friend Daisy a call and tell her that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking like being lost and asked 8  he could help me or not. "Yes, "I said. "I want to give my friend a ring. ""Well, that's 9 . " he said. " Are you getting married? But aren't you a little bit too 10 ?"" Who is talking about marriage?"I replied. "I 11  want to give my friend a ring to tell her I've arrived. Can you tell me 12  the phone box is?""Oh!" he said, "there is a phone downstairs. "
