四川省成都市外国语学校2018届九年级下学期英语一诊考试试卷
Read the passage carefully and answer the questions according what you've read.
The Book Thief was written by the Australian author Markus Zusak and it has been his most popular work. Published (出版) in 2005, it has become an international bestseller and been translated into several languages. In 2013, it was adapted into a film of the same name.
Are you wondering who the“book thief”is? It was Liesel Meminger, a 12-year-old girl living in Germany during World War II. While the Nazis were creating horrors (恐怖) all around, Liesel came across something that she couldn't give up: books. She stole books that belonged to the mayor's (市长的) wife, as well as books that the Nazis wanted to destroy.
A Jewish man named Max inspired Liesel's love for books. Liesel's family hides Max in their house. He developed a close relationship with Liesel and taught her to read in secret. Soon, Liesel realized the power of words. She not only stole books, but also wrote her own stories.
“It is not the kind of story that has you crying one moment and laughing the next,” as The Guardian reported. Instead, the sadness of Liesel's story interests you. It makes you realize that such kinds of things have happened to many other people. And it makes you think a lot.

Dear editor, I live in a beautiful city . Many visitors come to my city. there are so many colourful peacocks(孔雀)here. The peacocks mostly live on the grassland of Dongfeng Square. They are given food freely by visitors. They usually throw food to them, and don't think about at all whether the food is right or not. Some of the peacocks became ill, some even died after eating the bad food given by the visitors. I'm sure most of the visitors who throw food to the peacocks really like the birds, but don't realize that they may be doing them harm. The visitors should be told that what have done is very harmful to the birds, and this kind of thing must be stopped from happening. Perhaps we can build some small shops beside Dongfeng Square to sell peacock food. For us every person, it's our duty to give more love to these beautiful birds and to look after them carefully. Yours, Sun Yan |
