新目标(Go for it)版初中英语九年级Unit 3 检测卷

阅读理解

    In our daily life, direct questions are usually used to ask for information we do not know. Direct questions are either yes/no questions such as "Are you married?" or information questions such as "Where do you live?".

    It's OK to ask your friends or someone you know well direct questions. But they can seem abrupt and impolite at times, especially when you are asking a stranger. For example, if you come up to someone and ask "What time is it?" or "Can you move?", he/she may refuse to help you. It is certainly correct to ask questions in this way, but it's very common to make these kinds of questions more polite by adding "Excuse me" or "Pardon me" to begin your questions. "Excuse me, when does the bus leave?" or "Pardon me, may I sit here?" sounds more polite.

    It's also possible to use "can" in more informal (非正式的) situations. In the past, "can" was not used when asking for something, but only to refer to abilities. In the United Kingdom, Cambridge University publishes (出版) English teaching materials with the phrase "Can you lend me" "Can I have", etc. In the United States, this form is still considered to be incorrect, especially for written English, and "May I have" is preferred. Questions with "can" are made more polite by using "could": "Pardon me, could you help me?"

     "Would" can also be used to make questions more polite. "Would you let me borrow your pencil?" is also polite.

    Another way of making direct questions more polite is to add "please" at the end of the questions. We can say "Could you help me, please?" "Please" should not appear at the beginning of the questions.

(1)、The underlined word "abrupt" means "__________" in Chinese.

(2)、According to the passage, the writer thinks ___________.
A、we shouldn't ask direct questions in daily life B、it's OK to ask strangers direct questions C、it's not enough to ask questions correctly D、we must know someone well before asking questions

A、"can" was only used to ask for abilities before B、people in America like using "can" better C、questions with "can" are more polite in written English D、questions with "can" are also polite in informal situations
(4)、Which of the following is WRONG?
A、Yes/No questions are also direct questions. B、Questions with "please" at the beginning are more polite. C、Questions with "would" at the beginning are more polite. D、"Excuse me" can be used at the beginning of questions.

As you start a new term, you might feel a bit worried or nervous. These feelings aren't fun to have. But would your favourite superhero have these same feelings?

Scientists have been studying what they call the "Batman Effect (效 应)" in children. They've found that if kids pretend (假装) to be a strong person — such as a superhero like Batman — they won't feel so nervous and will be able to focus(集中) on their work.

For example, if you feel nervous during an exam, try to imagine that you are Batman. You may find that you can remove the stress from this situation and feel more confident. This can help you fight off bad feelings and focus on your task, just like a superhero would. Pretending to be powerful makes us feel powerful, and that goes on to how we act in real life.

But you don't have to believe in superheroes for this to work. Anyone you admire (仰慕) can encourage you to get through hard times, or remind you of how you should act in certain situations. Movie stars, famous painters, even our own parents — anyone can be our "Batman".

As for me, I would like to choose Mr Rogers, He was a TV host who was always kind, helpful and patient when dealing with other people. I try to act the same way towards other people just like Mr Rogers.

 阅 读 A、B、C、D四篇材料,从每小题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。

What do you think is an important social skill? I think it's being polite. It can help you make friends, show respect and achieve success. Here are some tips to help you be polite. 

Greet people politely. You can be polite by offering a proper greeting. When first meeting or greeting someone, give him a warm smile. It shows that you are in good spirits and are happy to see him. Also, shake hands to show respect. 

Make small talks. Instead of jumping right into business. You can make small talks first. Talk about their lunch or their day. Listen carefully and pay attention to what they are saying to you. Show them you're interested by asking questions. 

Congratulate other people on their success. When others do well, offer them your praise. If you meet a friend who has recently graduated, won a match, or got a new job, congratulate him. 

Avoid uncomfortable topics. Some topics can make people uncomfortable. You might hurt other people's feelings if you talk about them. Try to keep your conversation in the pleasant areas. 

Make eye contact (接触). When in conversation with someone, look them in the eye when you're speaking. Keeping eye contact shows that you are paying attention. However, don't stare at people all the time. 

 阅读下列材料,从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中,选出最佳选项。

Now there are more than 180 museums in Chengdu. Last year, the city's museums held over 2, 700 learning activities. They were very popular with students. More than 1, 380, 000 children took part in them. 

On May 18 this year, Chengdu Museum and SPGS International School Chengdu held an activity together to Celebrate International Museum Day. More than 20 students of the school, who come from different countries, took part in it. 

During the activity, the students visited the exhibition (展览会) on the city's history and culture. They also learned more about the exhibits through special lessons. They even made imitations (仿制品) of the exhibits there. Maia Santana Fong, a girl from Cuba, was one of them. She sat quietly before a small rhino sculpture (犀牛雕塑) and carefully colored it with bright paint. It was an imitation of a stone rhino nearly 2, 000 years ago. 

"I find the activity very interesting. The museum trip helped me get a better feel for the rich Chinese culture, " said Maia Santana Fong. 

In the past, students usually learned about the exhibits through pictures and videos in classrooms. But now they can see them with their own eyes at the museum. It helps students study China's history and culture better. 

Ran Jing, director of the museum's social education department, said, "The activity was just like a bridge between the school and the museum, between Chinese people and people from other countries, by telling China's stories through the exhibition. "
