广东省深圳实验中学2024-2025九年级上学期英语期中试卷

 阅读下列短文,从下面每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

Do you ever feel like there's not enough time in the day? That time is somehow racing away from you, and it is impossible to fit everything in. But then. you step outside into the countryside and suddenly everything seems slower, more relaxed, like time has somehow changed. It's not just you-recent research showed nature can control our sense of time.

Richardo Correia, the researcher at the University of Finland, found that being in nature may change how we experience time and perhaps, even give us the sense of time abundance(充裕). Correia compared people's experiences of time when they performed different types of tasks in cities and natural environments. It showed that people reported a sense of expanded time when they were in nature compared to when they were in cities. For example, a walk through the countryside felt longer than a city walk of the same distance.

It's not just our sense of time in the moment which appears to be changed by the natural world, and it's alsoour sense of the past and future. Earlier research shows that spending time in nature helps to move our focus from44the immediate(目前的) moment towards our future needs. So rather than focusing on the stress of the demands(需求)on our time, nature helps us to see the bigger picture. This can help us focus on what's important so that we meet our long-term goals. This is partly because spending time in nature appears to make us less impulsive(冲动的),enabling us to think more about future benefits instead of wanting immediate ones.

(1)、How might you feel when you walk in the countryside?
A、Everything remains the same. B、Time is racing away from you. C、There are less hours in the day. D、Things seem to go at a slower speed.
(2)、In what way did Correia carry out the research?
A、By doing online surveys. B、By interviewing experts. C、By making comparisons. D、By reviewing earlier studies.
(3)、What does the underlined word "expanded" probably mean?
A、Real B、Lost C、Passing D、Increased
(4)、How does nature help with our sense of the future?
A、By meeting our needs. B、By changing our focus. C、By showing us pictures. D、By reminding us of the past.
(5)、Which is the best title for the passage?
A、What time brings us. B、Where time has gone C、Why we lose sense of time in nature. D、How nature changes our sense of time.

Have you ever wondered what an American high school is really like? This article will describe a typical (典型的) high school and its students.

A typical American high school has several large buildings and enough space for about 1,500 students. Every student is given a locker. When students first arrive at school, they go straight to their lockers to put away or get their textbooks and to hang up their outdoor clothes. As American textbooks are expensive, students would rather loan (租借) than buy them. Students must pay back if they lost any of them.

American students have different types of school transport. They usually take a yellow school bus or walk to school if they live close enough. Sometimes their parents drive them to school.

When they turn 16 years of age, most take a free driving class at school for one term. If students' exam passing grades in the class and also pass their state driver's exam, they can begin driving themselves to school.

Each day, students take six or seven classes. They must take science, math, English and social studies. They can choose art, homemaking, fashion design and other classes. In some schools students are required to take one or more of the following special classes: health education, physical education or foreign language studies. Students move to different classrooms for each subject. This is because cache teacher has their own classroom. There is a five-minute break between classes, to give the students the time to hurry to their next class.

The regular school day usually ends early in the afternoon. After school more than half of the students take part in after-school activities. These activities include sports, specially football, basketball, baseball and soccer or clubs, such as yearbook, speech, school newspaper, photograph or student government.

I was ten years old when my mother died. Ten years old on that very day, my mother organized a party for me at the hospital. She made sure everyone there brought me presents. 

Nurse Ms. Louise gave me a fountain pen. "Now you can write beautiful stories, Katie," She said. Then the twins in the same room gave me a pink diary. A little too cute for me. I mean, I read Stephen King, the novelist and wanted to write like him. There was one box they held out till the end. It was a large box, carefully wrapped (包裹) with exquisite paper and ribbons. "Who's it from?" I asked. 

"It's you," Mama mouthed, hard breathing, but she smiled a very small smile at me. I read her lips. She meant it was a present for me. 

"Of course, it is," I said happily. 

I took off the paper carefully. It was a beautiful box made of heavy cardboard. Then I opened it slowly and...

"It's empty," I said. "Is this a joke?" I turned to ask Mama, but she was gone, no breath. 

"Mama!" I cried. I screamed. 

I cried steadily for a week at night, and for about a year, I stopped writing and reading. I felt empty and angry. 

One night, I woke up remembering how she had said, "It's you." Not, "It's for you," just "It's you." Mama had been a writer herself. She didn't use words carelessly. But, why? 

I took the box out and opened it. It was as empty as the day I had put it away. 

 "It's you," I whispered to the box. Suddenly I knew. 

I was the box, solid and strong, maybe even beautiful on the outside. But I had to fill up the box to make it all it could be. I had to fill me up as well. 

Then ____. The first thing I put on paper was about that birthday. I kept it in the box, and pretty soon that box was overflowing with stories. And poems. And memories. 

And so was I.

① In October, someone in South Carolina won $1.5 billion. The nearly impossible odds(概率) of winning were 1 in 302.5 million! Many people probably wish they'd been the lucky ones happily accepting the prize.

②It's not hard to imagine the things one could do with this money, but experiences of several lottery(抽奖) winners show that this money probably wouldn't make everyone happy. The sudden big money can change a person's life in unexpected and sometimes unpleasant ways. Take William Post, for example, who had only $2.46 in the bank when he won $16.2 million in a New York lottery in 1998. Within 3 months. he was poor again because of careless spending. He wasn't as happy as he felt before winning the prize.

③Then there was Callie Rogers, a British teenager from a common family, won $3 million in 2003. She went shopping every day, bought expensive clothes and bought her family and friends the same lavish gifts. After six years, Callie lost all her money and realized that money didn't make her happy. In fact, she became worried that people were friendly with her only to get her money.

④Lottery winners are not the only ones who can end up unhappy. People who get big money for some other reasons, e. g. receiving money from others, are also at risk. They may not know how to do with money and do not ask others for advice. They waste money on things they don't need and give away too much money to friends and relatives.

⑤ Researchers found that people are happy when they are able to pay for their basic needs, such as food, clothes, a safe place to live, and health care. People are also happy when they give reasonable(合理的) amounts of money to charities. Giving makes them feel as if they' re making a difference. Lavish things, such as expensive clothes and cars, only make people happy for a moment.

⑥People can hope and wish to suddenly come into lots of money to improve their lives, but perhaps there are better ways to find happiness.
