浙江省宁波市鄞州区七校联考2021届九年级上学期英语期中考试试卷

阅读下面材料,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

    Paper cups, plastic bags and old newspapers. There are so many single-use things (一次性物品) that we throw away after using only once.

    According to news website Quartz, we are now living in a "throw-away society". Single-use has become a natural way of life and can be seen almost everywhere.

    Every day, we see new memes (表情包), stories and Internet slang (网络俚语) on social media. With so many of them coming out all the time, the lifespan (寿命) of each becomes short - they become "single-use online products". This also means social media users are always searching for the next big thing.

    You may feel frustrated (沮丧) when trying to keep up with these memes and slang, but you just cannot help but keep scrolling(滚屏). It is endless - no matter it's WeChat Moments (朋友圈), Sina Weibo or Facebook.

    While you read single-use content (内容) online, you also produce it. Since 2017, WeChat Moments (朋友圈) has allowed users to make only the last three days of their posts viewable (可见的). As a result, more and more people don't take their posts seriously.

    Since it doesn't take too much time and energy to communicate anymore, we now even have disposable (用后即扔的) friendships, according to a story in Fast Company.

    A single-use way of life may give you quick pleasure. But the pleasure may not last for long because there is no deep thought behind it. Maybe we need to slow down and enjoy a more thoughtful way of life.

(1)、According to the passage, we can always find new memes and slang in the following places except ____________.
A、WeChat Moments B、Textbooks C、Sina Weibo D、Facebook
(2)、Where can we best put "But the idea of single-use is about more than just plastic and paper."?
A、 B、 C、 D、
(3)、Why does the writer mention "WeChat Moments' three days viewable" in Paragraph 5?
A、To show that WeChat take all the users' privacy (隐私) seriously. B、To explain the reason why the lifespan of memes and slang becomes short. C、To teach WeChat users how to post something meaningful on their Moments. D、To prove that we are producing single-use things when we read them online.
(4)、What is the writer's opinion of single-use way of life?
A、As long as singe-use way of life gives us pleasure, we should enjoy it. B、Single-use life will be helpful to our relationship with others. C、We need to think twice and lead a more thoughtful way of life. D、Single-use life is a natural way of life and we should get used to it.
(5)、The writer would probably talk about __________ if he continues to write this passage.
A、the disadvantages of singe-use way of life B、the reasons that cause singe-use way of life C、the ways to avoid singe-use way of life D、different opinions about singe-use way of life.
举一反三
阅读下面材料,从各题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。

If you live in a place where most people speak the language you are learning, you may use the language for several hours each day. So, it may become a part of your "inner speech". In other words, you start thinking in that language. Your mind stops trying to translate ( 翻译) things from your native language into the second language. But most learners live in places where English is not the main language. This may be true for you. You may not have many chances to practice English. You may even be self-taught. 

When you speak, your speech might be slower than you would like. This is because your mind is still translating from your first language, which can also sound unnatural. English, like every other language, has its own sentence patterns. 

The good news is that thinking in English can bring you a huge step closer to proficient speakers! It is not very difficult, but it does work hard and practice. On today's Education Tips, we will share some exercises that can help. 

Think in individual(单独的)words

Most experts note that it's best to start small. So, a good first step is to think in individual words. Look around you. What do you see? In your head, try to name each object in your mind. 

Describe unknown words

If you're looking at your house and you see your garage, but you can't think of the name in English, you can say, "It's the place where I put my car. " Or you can say, "It's next to my house. I keep things there. "

      ▲        

For example, if you are sitting in a park, you can tell yourself things like, "It's such a beautiful day" and "People are playing sports with their friends". Once this becomes easy, you can move on to more difficult sentences. 

 阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

Do you like summer holiday?In Australia, summer holiday is from late December to early February. Students have to finish their homework. They should read some English books and write reports. They also seed to do science projects with their classmates. They often go to special classes to learn swimming, singing and cooking. And they really like to go to the beach to camp with their parents. 

Summer holiday in the US is very long, from early June to around late August. Teachers will give summer homework. But if students don't do it, it's OK. There are many classes and camps. They can be about sports, or outdoor survival skills (户外生存技巧). Some students also go camping with friends or family. Some students will try to make money by doing the housework. Some will do voluntary work like helping the elderly or the poor for free. 

In France summer holiday usually goes from mid﹣June to the end of August. But the first day is different for everyone because of the day of the last exam. French students don't have any homework or classes. They spend the holiday having fun. Some students like traveling around the world. They see nature in Africa. They visit America to learn English. They go to China. Other students have fun in France. They camp on the beach, see friends watch movies, go swimming and have barbecue (烧烤)

Gift giving is an important practice that can show a number of different meanings. Here are some gift giving traditions from a few different countries. 

In Zimbabwe

In Zimbabwe, it is common to ask for a gift straightly. When a gift has been bought even without asking for it, the worst thing you can do is to refuse(拒绝) the offering, even if the giving family is poor.

In Japan

The Japanese show a great importance of the act of gift giving. For example, people don't like uncovered (裸露的) money. So whether you're sending money as a gift or just leaving a tip (小费), put your money in an envelope (信封). 

◆ In India

As people think left hands are unclean in Indian culture, acts such as touching, passing money, or giving gifts must be done with your right hand.

◆ In Russia

Vodka (伏特加酒) might seem a perfect gift for a Russian, but in fact, a lot of them would see it as an unimaginative (缺乏想象力的) gift. Many even think the idea is terrible. 

◆ In Ireland

Don't be astonished if your gift is refused a couple of times in Ireland. This tradition comes from a time when they didn't have enough potatoes to eat in the 1840s, and because of this, the receivers are making sure that you can really part from the thing that you are offering. 

 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。

On a summer day in 1948, a Swiss man named George de Mestral took his dog for a walk in the mountains. When they came home, George discovered that he and his dog were both covered with burrs (带芒刺的小果实). 

As an engineer, George naturally began to wonder how the burrs stuck (刺入) to his dog and his clothes. Then he looked at them carefully. He found that the burrs had little hooks (钩子), which allowed them to catch on to things like clothes. George realized that he could use this finding to create a new way to fasten (扣紧) things. 

It is a very long journey from the first idea to the final product. It was easy to find materials that could stick together, but finding materials that would continue to do so after years of use was difficult. George tested a very large number of different materials and production methods. After years of research and work, he invented what is known today as Velcro. In 1955, George started Velcro Industries to turn his idea into a product. In a few years, the product became popular around the world. 

Today Velcro is used everywhere. It's used in backpacks, jackets, wallets, children's toys, etc. It even turns up in places you wouldn't expect. For example, Velcro has been used by NASA for astronauts' space suits. The product was also used to hold the heart together during the very first artificial heart transplant (人工心脏移植).
