安徽省蚌埠市2016届四校九年级上学期英语期中考试试卷

根据短文理解,选择正确答案。

    “Cool” is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings. “Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost everything.

    When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say. “It's cool.” You May think, “He's so cool,” when you see your favorite football player.

    We all maximize(扩大)the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words, such as “new” or “surprising”. Here's an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her student to write about the waterfall(瀑布) they had visited. On the student's paper was just the one sentence, “It's so cool.” Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.

    But the story also shows a scarcity(缺乏)of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility(可信度).Can you think of many other words that make your life as colorful as the word “cool”? I can. And I think they are also very cool.

(1)、We know that the word “cool” has had ________.

A、only one meaning B、no meaning C、many different meanings D、the same meaning
(2)、In the passage, the word “express” means “_______”.

A、see B、show C、know D、feel

 "Have you ever heard that it's impossible to fold a piece of paper more than seven times? Actually, it is just a popular myth. 

The myth refers to folding a piece of paper in half many times in any direction. The paper is folded in half. Try it for yourself with a piece of notebook paper. ____ But when you make the fifth and sixth folds, you'll notice that it's increasingly hard to fold the paper. Why does it happen? Because the number of the layers (层) of paper doubles with each fold. For example, after the sixth fold, you're left with 64 layers of paper. If you have strong hands, you may be able to make that seventh fold. If you start with a piece of paper that is 0.01 centimeters thick, it'll be as thick as a notebook after seven folds. And it would seem impossible to make more folds. At this point, you may be thinking that the paper-folding myth doesn't sound much like a myth.

However, in 2002, a high school student named Britney Gallivan proved the idea wrong. Britney successfully folded a 1.20-meter-long roll of toilet paper 12 times (note that she used single-direction folding). She also developed a math rule. This is convenient. It allows you to find out the maximum (最大的) number of possible folds based on paper thickness, paper length, and direction of folding.

Since Britney's success, many people have managed to fold a single piece of paper more than 7 times. Students even folded a piece of toilet paper a total of thirteen times. The toilet paper they used was about 4,000 meters long!
