浙江省义乌市绣湖中学2024-2025学年九年级上学期9月月考英语试卷

 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D) 中选出最佳选项。

①Does a lake on fire sound impossible ? If you think that water can't burn, you need to learn more about pollution.

②Let's go and see Bellandur Lake in the city of Bengaluru in India. Bengaluru is the center for many heavy industries. Electrical and electronic goods, computer parts and parts for planes and space rockets are produced there. Much of the waste from these and a large amount of the wastewater from local people run into the lake.

③These harmful mixed things have led the lake to become covered with a thick white foam(泡沫) that looks like snow when seen from far away. When the level of the water rises, the foam does too and covers nearby areas, even roads. When a fire breaks out on the lake, it is both frightening and dangerous. People who live or work near the lake also get seriously il l because of the pollution.

④The fire has drawn a great deal of attention recently, but burning lakes are nothing new. Pollution mainly happens in developing countries like India today. In the past, it mainly took place in Europe and America. Cuyahoga River, a river in America, had caught fire at least 13 times. The fire that caused the most attention was in 1969 when oil- covered areas on the river were set on fire by sparks(火花) from a passing train. The fire reached a height of over five floors and burned for about half an hour. By that time, people in America were more aware of its dangers and wanted to change.

⑤As a result, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was founded in 1970 and the Clean Water Act (1972) was put into use. This Act required all rivers throughout America be clean enough to safely allow swimmers and fish to pass through by 1983. Due to these efforts, the Cuyahoga River has never had another fire and over 60 different species of fish live in the river.

⑥If history is a guide, will it be possible for people in India to bring an end to the pollution by changing the laws in their country, too? Like many nations, it's necessary to raise awareness of environmental protection among the general public. All of us must act!

(1)、According to the passage, lakes can catch fire mainly because of ____.
A、the rise of water level B、sparks set by a passing train C、fire from nearby woods D、pollution from heavy industries
(2)、The example of Cuyahoga River in Paragraphs 4&5 is used to ____ to solve the problem.
A、show one possible way B、describe another serious fire C、bring Environmental result D、show the worldwide pollution
(3)、The underlined words " its dangers" refer to " the dangers of ____".
A、sparks B、pollution C、foam D、snow
(4)、The structure (结构) of the passage might be ____.
A、 B、 C、 D、
举一反三

    Beautysleep is a real thing, researches have shown that people who have enough sleeplook more attractive (有魅力的) to others.

    A few badnights are enough to make a person look especially "more ugly", theirsleep experiments show.

    Theresearchers asked 25 university students to join in their sleep experiment.They were asked to get a good night's sleep for two nights.

    A weeklater, they were asked to sleep for only four hour every night for two nightsin a row. The researchers took make—up free (素颜) photos of the volunteers afterboth the good and the bad sleep.

    Next, theyasked 122 strangers to have a look at the photos and judge (评价) them on attractiveness, health,and sleepiness, as well as asking them: "How much would you like to makefriends with this person in the picture?"

    Thestrangers were good at judging whether the person they were looking at wastired, and if he was sleepy, his attractiveness score would be low.

    Thestrangers also said they wouldn't want tosocialize with the tiredstudents. The researchers say this is natural for people. An unhealthy-lookingface makes people run away. In other words, people don't want to hang aroundwith people who might be ill.

    Dr Brewer,an expert at the University of Liverpool said: "Judgment of attractivenessis often unconscious (无意识的), but we all do it, and we are able to judge on even somethingsmall like whether someone looks tired or unhealthy. This study is a goodreminder of how important sleep is to us."
