浙江省杭州市余杭区2024-2025学年九年级上学期期中英语试题
Last December, I was looking for a beautiful mountain resort (度假胜地) for my holiday. A friend suggested Zermat. The name alone was enough to interest me at once, so I did some research, bought a ticket, and soon found myself on a plane to Switzerland.
Located in the south of the country, Zermat is known for its mountainous scenery. The town sits at the foot of the Matterhorn, one of the most famous mountains in the Alps. As my train moved towards Zermat, I couldn't wait to see with my own eyes the shape of the great Matterhorn.
I come from the busy city of Bangkok, and it was fascinating to find myself in a small town with fewer than 6,000 people. Throughout the year, Zermatt's population increases very much with tourists. The town, which is famous for its outdoor activities, invites people to come to ski, hike, climb... anything, as long as they don't bring their car.
Before I got there, I found out that I wouldn't be able to rent (租) a car. In fact, cars that use traditional oil are not allowed inside the town. That's because the people of Zermatt are so proud of their view of the great Matterhorn that they don't want it blocked by air pollution from cars. So visitors like me usually arrive in Zermat by train.
I quite enjoyed being "car-free" and exploring the place on foot. I used one of the town's electric taxis when I wanted to travel a bit further. I also took an electric bus once. But nothing was more fun than exploring the area in an old-fashioned horse-drawn carriage (四轮马车). I was happy to exchange the polluted skies of downtown Bangkok for the clean, clear mountain air. And until I experienced the peace and quiet in Zermatt, I didn't realise how much traffic noise I hear every day. The town's electric cars were practically silent.

DO IT YOURSELF SCIENCESCIENCE IIUSTRATHD Build a mini solar desalination plant. It's a beautiful day, so, let's get outside and do some science. Here's an amazing experiment (实验) that uses solar energy. You will need: ◎A large bowl ◎A tall glass ◎Some salt ◎A stone ◎Some plastic wrap (包装膜) Steps: ◎Put the water into the large bowl. Put the salt in the water. ◎Put the glass in the middle of the bowl. The top of the glass must be above the water. ◎Put the plastic wrap over the bowl and the glass. Put a stone on top of the plastic wrap. ◎Put the bowl outside in the sun. What will happen? The water will get hot and then become gas. The salt will stay in the bowl, and the gas will rise and hit the plastic wrap. Then it will become water again and fall into the glass. If you take the plastic wrap off the bowl, you'll see water in the glass. If you taste the water, you'll find that there isn't any salt in it. |
