陕西西安七十中2017届九年级上英语第二次月考试卷

根据短文内容,选择最佳答案。

    April will bring a new product– the Apple Watch into the market. Last week, the watch was firstly introduced by Tim Cook, Apple's CEO. The price of the watch is from $349 to $1,099, depending on its size and whether it is a sports or regular one. Apple engineers and designers have put in a lot of thought and hard work into creating this small screen on your wrist. The sensor(传感器)on the screen not only finds your finger, but also knows the difference between when you are tapping(轻触), and when you are pressing harder.

    The watch also has haptic feedback(触觉反馈). You can send personal messages to your friend —such as drawing a star or a special sign with your fingers, or tapping the watch, say 3 times, and your friend will receive those taps on their wrist.

    Besides telling the time, the watch will use 'Bluetooth' to connect with your iPhone and show calls or text messages that come in.

    According to Tim Cook, the watch may open up a whole new area of applications(应用) that we had never thought of. Some car factories like BMW have developed an app that allows its car owners to open their cars with the watch. A 'Hotels' app may allow you to open the door to your hotel room without worrying about losing the smart-card. And finally, even at the airport—passengers may be able to simply wave their wrist to check into their flight.

    The biggest use of the watch, however, is as your personal fitness coach. The watch can show your pulse (heartbeat) using a sensor at the bottom of the watch. It also has the same sensor as your iPhone, so it knows when you are moving, and also how much you are walking or running. It will remind you if you have been sitting for too long without taking exercise.

(1)、We can learn from the passage that the Apple Watch.
A、is designed by Tim Cook B、was brought into the market last week C、sells at different prices for different colors D、will come into the market this coming April..

    Do you look like your name? Scientists say there's a good chance you do.

This comes from a new study published in a magazine. Researchers from Israel found that our given names may have something to do with our facial (面部的) appearances.

    Lead writer Yonat Zwebner of a university, along with her team, did eight different experiments (实验) in Israel and France. The different experiments were set up to answer two main questions: whether people can correctly guess a person's name based only on a photo of a face and what is behind this matching effect.

    During the experiments, researchers asked students to look at photos of people's faces and guess each person's name from a list of four choices. They correctly guessed the right name 38 percent of the time, which was better than the 25 percent of a random (随机的) guess.

    What's more, when the faces the students looked at came from within their own country, they were able to best match the faces to the names. French students were better at matching only French names and faces while Israeli students were better at matching only Hebrew names and Israeli faces.

    Researchers believe it is possible that people change their appearances without paying attention to it, to match their names. One study especially backed up this idea, showing that a hairstyle, something that can be changed by people easily, was enough to guide others in correctly guessing their names.

    “Earlier research has shown there are cultural stereotypes (偏见) carried by names, including how someone should look. For example, people are more likely to imagine a person named Bob to have a rounder face than a person named Tim. We believe these stereotypes can, over time, influence people's facial appearances,” Zwebner said.

    The results of the experiments may even make parents think twice when choosing a name for their children.

    “If a name can influence appearance, it can influence many other things. This research opens an important direction that may suggest how parents should consider better the names for their children,” said Zwebner, who recently had a baby herself.

    “As parents, it was really difficult for us to name our 12-day-old daughter as we know the meanings of names.”

 Answer the questions.

The ISS is as tall as a nine﹣story building and weighs 186,900 kilograms. It's about the size of two football fields and flies about 400 kilometers above our heads at 28,970 kilometers per hour. It goes around Earth once every 90 minutes. 

If you watch the sky for about an hour after the sun goes down,you may see some "moving stars". But they are not really stars. They are man﹣made satellites. And the biggest of all is the International Space Station (ISS). From May to July is the best season to watch the ISS flying over the earth. And people can see it with their eyes during the time. 

The scientists want to live on the ISS. They think that the best way to learn more about space is to live there. 

When the space station is finished,it will be like a city in space. People will stay and study there with many of the thing they have at home. Laboratories,living rooms and power stations are being built. The ISS is the most ambitious(雄心勃勃的)

Scientists hope that the ISS will be a stepping stone(跳板) for future space exploration. "The ISS will be more useful some day. The ISS will help us understand the human body better,explore space and study the earth. It can help us make life on the earth better. " said Kathryn Clark

Sixteen countries are part of the space program:the US,Russia,Canada,Brazil,and 11 European countries. 

China isn't an ISS country,but it has helped with some of the experiments. In 2003,China sent some rice up to the ISS to find out what space would do to it. 

After it's finished,more than 90 percent of the world's population is able to see the Space Station. So keep looking up,and maybe you'll see it getting bigger. 

 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的 A 、B 、C 和 D 项中,选出最佳选项。

Swifts(雨燕) live mostly in the air. These small birds are among the fastest animals on Earth. In fact, swifts can go two or three days without touching the ground! To get used to life in the sky, swifts use their speed and the saliva(唾液)in their mouths. 

Swifts can fly faster than 100 miles per hour. That's because their wings are like boomerangs (飞行器). This shape of the wings helps them to fly much faster. They can also move one wing faster than the other, which allows them to make sharp turns without slowing down. Making fast, sharp turns helps swifts catching flying bugs to eat. 

The saliva helps swifts catch bugs to feed their young. It is sticky, like glue. Swifts often fly into clouds of bugs such as mosquitoes and open their wide mouths to catch as many insects as they can. The bird collects insects in its mouth gradually and holds the insects in a sticky ball of saliva. One food ball can contain nearly 1, 000 bugs. 

Swifts also use their saliva as glue to build their nests. The birds catch feathers in the air and stick the feathers together to build a strong nest on the side of a building. Swifts' short feet are not good for walking or standing on land for long. But their sharp claws allow them to stick to rocks and walls so they can take a brief rest before returning their lives in the sky.
