江苏省常州市第五中学2011年九年级英语单选竞赛题

根据短文内容的理解,选择正确答案。

    I didn't think I had a passion(激情). I would sit in front of the TV all day, thinking about nothing but the next show. It was not long ago that I first learned how important having a passion is to life.

    That day I went with my mum to drive my sister to the gym. I was bored. Then, as my mum stopped at a red light, someone on the side of the road caught my eye(吸引我的世界). It was a man dressed in rags (衣衫褴褛). He was homeless. That didn't interest me, for I had seen many like him before.

    But in some ways he was different. This man was not sitting down with a sad expression(表情). He had a radio in his hand and was dancing happily to the music. The radio seemed to be the most precious(珍贵) thing he had.

    "Mum, why does that man have a radio even thought(尽管) he's homeless?" I asked.

    "He bought it," she replied. I was still unable to understand.

    "But if he's homeless, why doesn't he use the money to buy food or clothes? He wasted it on something he doesn't need."

    "Well, Sarah, sometimes food and clothes aren't the most important things. We need happiness, too."

    The man must care too much about music to buy a radio instead of food clothes. I soon realized(意识到) that happiness is the key to life. Without it, there's nothing to look forward to.

    Since then I've never gone a day without thinking of what's truly important. A home, a meal, clothes—these things are only part of the picture. What's often forgotten is that we all need a pleasure, a light in a dark day. We all need a passion.

(1)、How would Sarah spend her days long ago?
A、She watched TV all day. B、She used to read a lot. C、She did nothing but thinking. D、She was always sleeping.
(2)、Who caught Sarah's eye when her mum stopped the car at a red light?
A、A man dressed in rags. B、A man dressed in new clothes. C、A man sitting down with a sad expression. D、A man singing happily to the music.
(3)、Why was the man different?
A、He wore new clothes. B、He was sitting with a sad expression. C、He was homeless. D、He lived an active life though he was very poor.
(4)、What did Sarah do after she understood the fact?
A、She thought all day without doing anything. B、She bought a radio just like the man's. C、She had a passion with everything from then on. D、She always danced to the music on the radio.
(5)、What can we learn from the passage?
A、Sometimes food and clothes are the most important things in our life. B、Happiness is the key to life and it is what we are looking forward to. C、Music is more important than food or clothes. D、Money is the most important thing for a person.

Plants are more than just pretty to look at. They give us fruits, vegetables and food we eat. Some plants even provide materials for medicine or building things. But do you know that plants can do something even more amazing? They can make our homes, schools and workplaces much healthier. we spend a large part of our day indoors. Unluckily, the air inside buildings can often be full of chemicals(化学物质)from many things around us. This poor ap quality(质量) can make us feel sick,causing sore eyes and throats, and even making it hard for us to breathe. When the air inside buildings gets really bad, people even call them"sick buildings". 

The good news is that plants are like nature's little superheroes. They have a magic power fighting against bad air. Plants breathe in carbon dioxide( CO2) and breathe out oxyen ( 02) which we humans need to live. They can also add moisture to the air if it's too dry, making it more comfortable for us to breathe. 

    ▲    Scientists have discovered that plants have the ability to take in harmful chemicals, making the air around us safer to breathe. They set up a completely closed building called "bio-home" for experiments. Before they added plants, the air inside was full of chemicals and people found it hard to breathe. But after they added plants, the air got much cleaner and it became easier to breathe. To make the air inside even better, the scientists used different kinds of plants. After a while, the building wasn't a"sick building"any more. People could go inside without feeling unwell. 

So you see, plants are fantastic! They are not only beautiful to look at, but they also provide us with food, help create materials and play an important role in our health. They make our indoor environments cleaner and healthier, making us feel better. Next time you see a plant, remember all the amazing things it can do for us!
