天津市南开区2016年九年级上学期英语期末考试试卷

阅读短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

    Some of the greatest problems we face today are the destruction (破坏) of our environment. Brown clouds, polluted water, endangered wild animals.., these problems seem so huge.

    So my family does what we can. We take cloth bags to stores instead of using plastic bags. We walk where we don't have to drive...

    But does it do any good? When I am the only one in line at the market with cloth bags, am I doing any good? Does my walking to stores make any real difference to the world?

    I recently learned something about flamingos (火烈鸟) which like to get together in groups of a thousand or more. Every year, when the time comes for migration (迁徙), a few of them first takeoff from the lake. But none of the others seem to notice, so the small group returns.

    However, the next day they try again. This time few more fly along with them, but most of them still pay no attention, so they return again. They try for several times. Every time a few more birds join in but, since the thousands of others still take no notice, the great migration plan is once more stopped.

    Then one day something changes. The same small group of birds once again starts flying and a small number more join in just as before, then more. Finally, they all take flight and the migration really begins.

    What a spectacular sight it must be—thousands of flamingos taking off into the sky at once!

    A few can make a difference. Even if you're the one to take the first step, and continue trying, others will someday take notice and together we will solve even our greatest problems.

    Tara: Nicole, I have a problem.

    Nicole: What kind of problem?

    Tara: I have a job interview tomorrow, and I heard that the boss will ask to see my Facebook profile. I'm not comfortable with that.

    Nicole: That's illegal in some countries, like Canada. Can you refuse?

    Tara: I want to, but I'm afraid that if I do, I won't get the job!

    Nicole: I guess I see the boss's point. Looking at a candidate'sFacebook page will tell him a lot about the person's life and personality.

    Tara: That's true. Most of my life is on Facebook. My profile could tell him about my hobbies, my interests and what my friends think of me. I find the idea of showing a boss that much personal information disturbing.

    Nicole: Companies run background checks on possible employees all the time. And this is just another way for him to see if you're trustworthy. Besides, I've seen your Facebook page, and you don't have anything to hide.

    Tara: Maybe not, but my friends might still post things on my Facebook page that make me look bad.

    Nicole: I think the boss will probably realize the differences between your posts and your friends' posts.

    Tara: He might, but I'm also worried that something the boss sees on Facebook could be misleading. For example, I wore a really crazy costume to my friend's party last week. I wouldn't want him to think I always do strange things like that.

    Nicole: Yeah, but I don't think the boss would assume that one picture shows how you always act. I'm sure he'll be pretty cautious about drawing conclusions too quickly based on Facebook.

 根据材料内容,从下面四个选项中(A-D)选出能填入文中空缺处(1-4)的最佳选项,使文章意思通畅、内容完整;并回答第5题。

Disney's princess (迪士尼公主) stories are famous around the world. You probably know some of them, like Snow White, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty. 

The Disney princesses are very beautiful. Princes (王子) fall in love with them at first sight. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

But one problem about these princesses is that they usually cannot protect (保护) themselves. They need help from others. This is the old image (形象) of Disney's princesses. 

Years ago,Disney made 10 new rules. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Surprisingly, no rule talks about having a "beautiful face". Instead the rules are about good characteristics (特征) like honesty (诚实), loyalty (忠诚) and never giving up. 

Princesses need to grow up. When they meet problems, they need to protect themselves. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}

For example, Elsa and Anna fight against the bad prince in Frozen (《冰雪奇缘》). They need to believe in themselves and their friends. Mulan shows courage (勇气) to fight in the army. Beauty cannot help them. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} In the real world, these are the rules you need to follow. 

A. They also need to find ways to get away from bad people. 

B. But a strong heart can. 

C. In the end, they will have a happy life together. 

D. To be a princess you must follow these rules. 

In which part of the newspaper can we find this passage? {#blank#}5{#/blank#}

A. Movie.     B. Science.     C. Sports.     D. Food.

Once upon a time there was a happy paper doll that had no face. His whole body was perfectly cut out and painted, except for his face. However, he had a pencil so he could choose whatever face he wanted to have. How lucky! He then spent all day asking everyone he met, "What's a perfect face like?"

" One with a big beak (鸟嘴)." answered the birds.

" No. Not one with a beak," said the trees. " The perfect face is full of leaves."

" Forget the beak and the leaves," said the flowers. " If you want a perfect face, you fill it with colors."

The doll followed their advice. However, it turned out that nobody liked it. And now he couldn't erase it! " I only wanted a face that everyone would like," he cried. "And now look, what a disaster (灾难)!"

A small cloud heard his cries and came to him, " I think I can help you. As I'm a cloud, I can make any face you like. What do you think about me changing faces until there's one that you like? I'm sure we can fix you a little bit."

The doll again felt hopeful. The cloud made all kinds of faces for him. But none of them was perfect enough.

"Never mind," said the doll. " you've been a great friend." He gave her a big hug and the cloud smiled from ear to ear, happy at having helped. Just then the doll cried excitedly, " That's it! That's the face I want! It's a perfect face!"

"Which one?" asked the cloud. "But I haven't done anything."

"Yes, yes you have! It's that face you make when I hug you!"

The cloud finally realized that he was talking about her big smile. And together they took the pencil and drew the paper doll a big smile, ten times better than beaks, colors and leaves. And that face was indeed the only one that everyone liked because it had the secret ingredient (成分) for perfect faces: a big smile that could never be erased.
