山东省德州市宁津县2019届九年级下学期英语第二次模拟考试试卷(含听力音频)

阅读理解

    In 2011, when British photographer David J. Slater was visiting a park in Indonesia, his camera was taken away by a group of black monkeys. The result was hundreds of monkey selfies(自拍照). The best ones show a female monkey smiling toothily for the camera. Slater then sold the photos and they became popular on the Internet.

    Nobody knew they would create a copyright battle some years later.

Last month, Wikimedia Commons put the monkey selfies online under a collection of free photos without Slater's permission. Slater asked the website to take them down since he owns the copyright.

    However, Wikimedia Foundation-the organization behind Wikimedia Commons-refused Slater's request. They said that according to US copyright law, whoever pushes the button on the camera owns the copyright to the photo. It was the monkeys but not Slater that pushed the button. What's more, monkeys don't own copyright. "US copyright law says that works that come from a non-human source(血统)can't ask for copyright, " said Katherine Maher, Chief Communications Officer of Wikimedia.

    Slater argues that the pictures belong to him as they were taken from his camera. He said he bought the cameras, he spent a lot of money to travel to Indonesia, and it was his carelessness that allowed the monkeys to take his cameras away. All these have made him the author of the picture, no matter who pushed the button. In a sense(在某种意义上), the monkeys could be regarded as his assistant, Slater said.

    As of now(到目前为止), there has been no result in the Monkey Selfie case. Who do you think will win this interesting battle?

(1)、What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A、Some monkeys grabbed Slater's camera. B、Slater took photos of the monkeys and sold them. C、The photos taken by Slater became popular on the Internet. D、Some monkeys took photos and sold them on the Internet.

阅读下列材料,然后从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳选项。

One night, when I was eight, my mother gently asked me a question I would never forget. “Cindy, my company wants to promote (升职) me but needs me to work in Brazil. This is like your teacher telling you that you've done well and allowing you to skip (跳) a grade, but you'll have to leave your friends. Would you say yes to your teacher?” She gave me a hug and asked me to think about it. I was lost in thought. The question kept me wondering for the rest of the night. I had said “yes” but for the first time, I realized the difficult decisions adults had to make.

     For almost four years, my mother would call us from Brazil every day. Every evening I'd eagerly wait for the phone to ring and then tell her everything happened during the day. A phone call, however, could never take her place and it was difficult not to feel lonely at times.

During my fourth-grade Christmas break, we flew to Rio to visit her. Looking at her large empty apartment,   ▲  It was then I started to understand the difficult choices she had to make. She needed to think about both family and work. Faced with difficult decisions, she used to tell me, you wouldn't know whether you make the right choice, but you could always make the best out of the situation, with a positive attitude.

     Back home, I reminded myself that what my mother could do, I could, too. If she managed to live in Rio all by herself, I, too, could learn to be independent. I learn how to take care of myself and set high but achievable goals.

My mother is now back with us. But I will never forget what the experience has really taught me. I've learned a lot because of this separation. There are lots of difficult decisions that we have to face in our life. We need to have a positive attitude no matter what happens.

①Almost everyone has a question or two about living in space. What is life really like in space? And what do astronauts do there?

②Astronauts living in space have the same hygiene needs as people do on Earth. They wash their hair, brush their teeth and go to the bathroom as well when they wake up. However, because of micro-gravity (微重力), astronauts take care of themselves in different ways. For example, they use a kind of special tool to wash their hair and use leg restraints (腿部固定装置) to set themselves when they use the washing room. 

③Astronauts eat three meals a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner. Some food can be eaten in the natural form, such as fruit. There are no fridges in space, so space food must be kept in a good way to avoid going bad. 

④Besides morning routine (常规) and eating in space, astronauts also need to do many tasks, such as checking the machines, updating (更新) computer information and so on. At the same time, the control center on Earth sends messages to the astronauts through voice or email to help them in their daily routines. 

⑤What's more, living in space is not just all work and no play. A popular way of relaxation is looking out of the window. And they can also enjoy themselves by watching movies, reading books, playing cards and talking to their families during their free time.

Chinese tennis player Zheng Qinwen has made Olympic history. She became the first Chinese player to win an Olympic tennis singles gold medal on August 3rd, 2024. Now she is known as "Queen Wen" online. 

The 21-year-old tennis star was born in a sports family in Shi Yan, China. When she was a child, she liked exercising. When she went out with her father, she always walked or ran instead of taking the bus. She said, "Walking and running are good exercise. They make me healthy. And I can attend(参加) the Olympics when I'm older. "At the age of eight, her father took her to Beijing to watch the Olympics, she showed great interest in tennis. After getting back, she left home and began to train tennis in Wu Han. "My father, I didn't see him for more than one year because during my childhood I didn't have much time to spend with the family together. " Zheng Qinwen shared. 

One of her biggest inspiration(激励) was tennis legend Li Na. Li Na became the first Chinese player to win Grand Slam Singles title(大满贯单打冠军) in 2011. Zheng told the Tennis Channel how important it was for her. "Li Na won her first Grand Slam and I started thinking, ‘Oh, Asian (亚洲) players can also do something good in tennis. ' And then I think that she put a little seed(种子) in my heart that I also want to do it. I want to be like her, even better. " She was also inspired by one of the greatest tennis players Roger Federer, playing at the 2008 Beijing Games. 

Zheng made her first WTA(国际女子网球协会) debut in 2021. She broke into(闯进)the top 100 in 2022. Since then, she has made a Grand Slam final and ranked(排名) as high as No. 7 in the world. And with her winning at the Olympic, more and more Chinese begin to play tennis. 

 阅读以下材料,然后从下面方框中所给的 A、B、C、D、E五个选项中选出符合各部分信息的问句(其中一项为多余选项),完成第小题。

GREAT KIDS                     Love for the elderly

Seven-year-old Maggie Kuznia is a book lover. She finds joy in sharing the stories she reads. Every week, she visits the elderly at Good Samaritan Society with several books. There she has made a lot of new friends who wait eagerly for her story-telling.

Q: {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

A: On a snowy day, my mother brought me along to work at Good Samaritan Society. My mom reminded me to bring toys. However, I brought some books because I had different plans. I wanted to read stories to cheer the elderly up.

Q: {#blank#}2{#/blank#}

A: I'd say making a lot of new friends. The elderly are devoted (忠诚的) listeners, and some of them are always ready to help me when I come across unfamiliar (不熟悉的) words. 

Q: {#blank#}3{#/blank#}

A: I want to tell them to do something they enjoy, such as dancing, singing and so on. I always get support from my mother. Every week, I visit the elderly and often visit each one for over an hour with my mom checking on me to make sure I'm not overstaying my welcome. 

EDITOR'S (编者) NOTE

{#blank#}4{#/blank#}

First, know about what the elderly need and offer help to improve their lives. By doing so, we may know what steps we can take towards that goal.

People may think that big things should be done to help others. However, many forget that helping others begins with small things. Small things can make a big difference. 

Let's take Maggie for example. Her goal was very simple, just to care for the elderly by reading stories. So she did. For the elderly, she brightened their day.

Share your ideas with a parent so that you can get help from them. No matter what act you do and how small it is, the elderly's world will be full of love and laughters.


A. How can you care for the elderly? 

B. What's the best part about what you do?

C. What do you like doing in your spare time? 

D. What would you tell other kids to care for the elderly?

E. How did you get the idea of reading stories to the elderly? 

请结合第一节内容,回答下面问题。(请用约20词回答)
