The elder was called Simon and the younger Victor. They loved each other very much, and always took care of each other. Every day they worked from morning until night, getting as much grain （谷物）as possible from their fields.One late autumn evening, after their work in the fields was done, Simon said to his wife, “Victor got married last month. He has to support his family. I think I should put a bag of rice in his barn（谷仓）.”“Oh, that’s a good idea,” said his wife. So, late that night Simon took a bag of rice to Victor’s barn. But the next day, he found something strange! He still had the same number of bags in his barn!Simon decided to take another bag of rice to his brother’s barn that night. But the next morning, he found the same number of bags in his barn again! “This is very strange,” he thought. That night he tried again. He carried a large bag of rice and walked down the road to his younger brother’s house. In the bright moonlight, he could see another person coming down the road. He was carrying something on his shoulder, too. “Younger Brother!” Simon cried, “What are you doing?” “Your family is larger than mine. I thought you needed more rice.” said Victor. The two brothers quickly knew what the strange thing was. They laughed about what had happened. “It is good to have a brother like you,” they both said. And they lived happily ever after.5. What work did the two brothers do every day?A. They grew grain.B. They fed chickens.C. They sold vegetables.D. They built houses.6. When Simon wanted to give rice to his brother, his wife _______.A. hid all the riceB. agreed with himC. wanted to give moreD. became angry7.

Love between family members was valuable.CTests can be stressful. But don’t worry! You’re not alone! Tests have been stressing people out for thousands of years. Here’s one man’s story about test stress.During the Tang Dynasty（朝代）there was a poor man named Meng Jiao. He loved studying and writing poems. Though his hard work helped him become a talented poet, he needed to make more money. He decided to take the Ke Ju exams. The exams were open for anyone to take. Whoever passed could get an official（官方的）job.Meng Jiao studied hard for the tests. He took them several times. Each time, he failed. But Meng Jiao never gaveup. He studied harder and harder. He took the tests over and over again.Finally, when he was 46 years old, Meng Jiao passed the test! He was so happy! He put on new clothes. He tied on red flowers to celebrate. Then he rode on a horse through Chang’an City.During his ride, Meng Jiao wrote a poem. In English, it reads, “Horseback riding swiftly（迅速地）through the spring breeze（微风）, while seeing all the flowers of Chang’an in one day.”Meng Jiao’s poem tells about his feelings on that exciting day. His words describe the feeling of enjoying the flowers and Chang’an City in a day.The poem became famous. But people said it would be impossible to really enjoy everything in one day. This led to the phrase（成语）“seeing flowers while riding a horse swiftly.” It describes giving something a quick look without noticing the details（细节）.9. Meng Jiao decided to take the Ke Ju exams because he _______.A. needed to make more moneyB. wanted to write poemsC. wanted to enjoy the flowersD. had to deal with the stress10. The third paragraph（段落）tells us _______.A. stress is bad for studyB. we should give up when we failC. it was not easy to pass the Ke Ju examsD. Meng Jiao was so clever that he succeeded11. Meng Jiao’s poem on horseback expressed _______.A. the beauty of Chang’an CityB. his excitement after his successC. his stress from the Ke Ju examsD. the difficulty he had during his study12. Which of the following comes from the story?A.鸟语花香B. 五花杀马C. 走马观花D. 落花流水DMany people dream of traveling into outer space. However, spending too much time in space may cause health problems. That’s why astronauts shouldn’t spend more than six months on the International Space Station（ISS）at a time.Muscle（肌肉）and bone loss（骨质损失）. In a weightless environment, astronauts don’t need to use their muscles to support themselves. So their muscles start shrinking（萎缩）. To keep their muscles strong, astronauts need to exercise for about two hours each day on the ISS.Sleep disorder（紊乱）. In space, the sun rises every 90 minutes. It is hard for astronauts to get used to thislight-dark cycle（循环）when they sleep. Also, they need to sleep in a sleeping bag that is fixed to a wall. It is uncomfortable. Now astronauts have individual（单独的）sleeping pods（睡眠舱）that help shut out some of the light. Still, studies have found that most astronauts only sleep about six hours each night, even though they should have eight and a half hours.Brain changes. Scientists have found that the position of the brain changes during spaceflight. This can influence how the brain deals with how we see, stay balanced（平衡）and move around. That’s why some astronauts can’t control their movement and balance after returning to Earth. Scientists have also found that astronauts may get used to this change after going on more spaceflights. But they still need to do more research.13. When astronauts don’t use their muscles in space, _______.A. they should eat much meatB. their muscles start shrinkingC. they need to exercise all dayD. they can’t support themselves14. Astronauts can’t sleep well mainly because of _______.A. the weightB. the temperatureC. the lightD. the air15.

After the teacher handed out the exam paper, he left the room and never came back. A student collected in the papers when the exam ended.“That test was not only a test of knowledge, but also a test of moral (道德). We wanted to show students how important honesty is,” said Cai Wenguo, the school’s headmaster. The school says no cheating(作弊) happened in the test. Next year, it wants 80％of its exams to be without teachers. But students have different ideas.“I was happy and excited during the exam because my teachers trusted me,” said Lang Yudan, a 13-year-old girl in Class 11.“Schools must trust students a lot not to use invigilators（监考人). But I think it is too early. Some students will cheat if there are no invigilators. And the students will not be able to ask for help when needed.” said Hua Sha.“I don’t like having invigilators in exams. When they walk around the classroom, they make me nervous. I would get higher marks without them in the room because I would feel more relaxed.” Liu Qingxi said.“I think it’s very important to have invigilators in exams. Many students want to check their answers with each other after they have finished papers. And they can also keep the classroom in order when something unusual happens. They may make me nervous, but I still think we need them.” Shang Guanyuan said.Not using invigilators may be a good idea. But before using it, schools must tell students the importance of honesty and try to find ways to solve something unusual in exams.1.

Every year, there is a special day for people around the world to celebrate the importance of good and healthy sleep-World Sleep Day.Sleep is like food for the brain. 1People of different ages need different amounts（数量）of sleep. According to the National Sleep Foundation（国家睡眠基金会）in the US, adults should get seven to eight hours of sleep a night.Teenagers need nine to ten hours. 23 The China Youth and Children Research Center said that about 80 percent of middle school students don't get enough sleep.

It's a fun time for kids to get red envelopes (红包). In China, the color red means happiness and luck. So people give red envelopes to send their best wishes. People do the same when they come to a birthday party of a relative or an elderly person, or visit someone who has just given birth to baby.It's believed that the tradition of giving red envelopes dates back (追溯到) to the Qing Dynasty. The elder could thread (串成串) coins with red or colorful strings. They thought this kind of coins could protect their children from sickness and death. Later, people used red envelopes instead of the red strings.Now, giving and receiving red envelopes are very common to every Chinese. It's more like a way to communicate with others. When you give a red envelope, just as what everyone else does, you feel a part of the circle. But this tradition also has its downsides. Most young people, who have just started their careers, can't afford to give a lot of money. Xiao Jun, who has just found a job recently, said, "I feel stressed about the custom. At present I don't have enough money. Of course you can choose not to give envelopes. But you may gradually (渐渐地) find yourself out of some social activities.Some people are calling for a change to the tradition. They argue that we don't have to give money to show our good wishes. In the UK and the US, people often just give pretty cards to the person they want to bless (祝福). Close friends give gifts, but the gifts are usually things that are not very expensive. In this way, people can get on with each other easily and happily.根据短文内容回答下列问题（每小题答案不超过6个词）1. What does the color red mean?_______________________________________________________________________________2. What did the elder think could protect their children from sickness and death in the past? _________________________________________________________________________ ______3. How do the Chinese communicate with others now according to the passage?_________________________________________________________________________ ______4. What does Xiao Jun think of the custom?_________________________________________________________________________ ______5. What things do people often just give to the person they want to bless in the UK and the US?六、单词拼写（本题共计1小题，总分5分）23.（5分）根据句意和提示写出单词，完成句子。

Like many proud parents, Rochelle and Dale, Rain’s parents, sent him off to school with a big wave. Feeling himself no longer a little kid, Rain found it quite embarrassing.

He was shocked to find that his dad was waving him off, dressed as an American football player, complete with a ball and helmet. For the rest of the school year, Dale waved goodbye dressed in different costumes. One day he was a king, the next a cook, the following Wonder Woman.Amazingly, Dale only spent $50 on all of the costumes. He got most of them from the family fancy-dress collection and then several friends and neighbors were happy to help.Most of Rain’s classmates looked forward to seeing what Dale would be wearing every day.

The two sides of Ma Mian Qun are pleated (起褶的), and there is a smooth part in the middle, commonly known as “Ma Mian”.Why is it called “Ma Mian”? In fact, “Ma Mian” is a kind of structure (结构) used for protection in the city wall system.

According to Han customs, women usually wore red skirts during celebrations of festivals. In the Qing dynasty, blue was also common and popular, paired with black and yellow.Ma Mian Qun has different kinds of patterns with different meanings. For example, dragon and phoenix patterns show the love between a man and a woman or a beautiful marriage. Peony(牡丹) is a symbol of wealth and honor.Recently, Ma Mian Qun has become a popular form of skirt for Hanfu fans. More and more modern fashion designers (设计师) find ideas from Ma Mian Qun. For example, some get ideas from the patterns. Some combine (结合) the styles of Ma Mian Qun with T-shirts or blouses, which are more suitable for everyday wear.

Not only can you save a lot of time, but also go green!A cooler colorThe common paint on a white building reflects (反射) 80 to 90% of the sunlight that shines on it. The rest of the light warms the nearby area. But a new Whiter Paint is made of chemicals that better reflect UV rays. This paint reflects up to 98% of the sunlight.“The heat is reflected into deep space,” says Xiulin Ruan, who led the Purdue University team that created the paint.“The paint can keep our cities cooler.” The team says it also has a lightweight paint for airplanes, cars, and even spaceships.Stopping firesAlertCalifornia is the public-safety program at the University of California San Diego. It uses AI to predict wildfires. The AI finds smoke and other early signs of fire, using more than 1,000 cameras in forests across the state. It warns people through text messages.

Cosmic radiation (宇宙辐射) creates these pretty lights in the North and South Pole areas. It seems that cosmic radiation is a beautiful gift from space. But for some people, it can be dangerous.A 53-year-old fight attendant in South Korea, who spent about 1,022 hours flying each year, passed away due to cancer. A South Korean court connected his death to great exposure (暴露) to cosmic radiation. During his career, nearly half of his flights crossed the areas in and around the North Pole, where cosmic radiation is extremely strong.① Cosmic radiation from space is hitting Earth nonstop, coming from both the sun and other stars in the Milky Way.① Earth’s magnetic field (磁场) and atmosphere (大气层) protect us from most cosmic radiation. The magnetic field is strongest near the equator and weakest at the poles. People living at higher latitudes (纬度), like in Heilongjiang province, are exposed to a little bit more cosmic radiation than those living at lower latitudes, like in Hainan province. Also, when you go higher in an airplane, the thin atmosphere increases exposure to cosmic radiation.① For flight attendants crossing polar areas and for astronauts in space, cosmic radiation can create health risks. NASA reported that the radiation exposure faced by astronauts spending six months in space is the same as having 1,000 chest X-rays.① However, what makes cosmic radiation dangerous also makes it useful. The light speed and energy of cosmic radiation have provided wonderful ideas for treating tumors (肿瘤). Scientists can now produce man-made radiation similar to cosmic radiation. Compared to the present ways of treating tumors, it can kill tumors better with less damage to healthy parts of the body around them.34．The death of the flight attendant is believed to have something to do with ________.A．long flight hours B．lower latitudesC．strong cosmic radiation D．a family history of cancer35．The sentence “Luckily, our planet is well-protected.” should be put in ________.A．①B．①C．①D．①36．Astronauts are exposed to more cosmic radiation because ________.a. they are closer to the sun and starsb. they are at higher latitudes in spacec. space suit cannot prevent cosmic radiationd. there is not much atmosphere protecting themA．ac B．bc C．ad D．cd37．What can we learn from the last paragraph?A．Cosmic radiation is very dangerous.B．People can produce cosmic radiation.C．Earth is filled with cosmic radiation.D．Cosmic radiation helps fight cancer.On Sept. 7, famous Chinese archaeologist (考古学家) Fan Jinshi, 85, was awarded by UNESCO for her contribution (贡献) to the protection of the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang.Called the “daughter of Dunhuang”, her story with the caves started 60 years ago. In 1963, Fan, then a 25-year-old Peking University graduate, had the chance to work at the Mogao Caves, a place she had wanted to explore for a long time.“Seeing Dunhuang for the first time was breathtaking. But only when truly staying here did I realize that inside the caves is a world of divine beauty while outside is a land of blowing sand and yellow earth,” Fan told Gansu Daily.Back in those days, the Mogao Caves were almost completely cut off from the world. Fan and her coworkers had to live in mud houses and drink salty water. They stayed inside the Caves to copy murals (壁画) and do whatever they could to protect and restore them.In 2011 after 40 years of hard work, a report on 10 Mogao Caves by Fan’s team was finally published. It was known as China's first professional report on cave archaeology.As time passed. Fan found a serious problem. The increasing number of tourists visiting Dunhuang might harm the caves, causing the murals inside to fade. Something needed to be done to preserve Dunhuang’s heritage.In the late 1980s, Fan stumbled upon computer technology by chance. She realized that this might preserve the Mogao Caves forever. After over 30 years of exploration, the Dunhuang Academy built a digital database to protect cultural relics (文物) there, allowing Dunhuang’s art to live forever and to step out of the caves to meet the world.“In my whole life, I’ve only done one thing: protect and promote the world culturalheritage of the Mogao Caves,” she told People’s Daily. “My heart belongs to Dunhuang.”38．What can we learn about Fan from the passage?A．She is a woman of great determination (决心).B．Her health was affected by her hard work.C．She began her work at the Mogao Caves at 83.D．She studied archaeology at Nanjing University.39．What was Fan’s first impression (印象) of Dunhuang?A．It was an amazing place.B．The environment was terrible.C．It was in great need of protection.D．The working conditions were better than expected.40．What pushed Fan to set up a digital database for the Mogao Caves?A．Her interest in computer technology.B．Her dream of spreading Chinese culture.C．The increasing risk of harm to the caves.D．The need to publish the professional report.41．What does Fan think of her work in Dunhuang?A．It has won her great respect.B．It has been her lifelong career.C．It has influenced many young people.D．It has helped with cultural exchange.Every culture has a special way of eating. In parts of Africa, people eat with their fingers. North Americans and Europeans use forks, knives, and spoons to carry out the same task. In Asia, chopsticks are the top choice.You might think it’s easy to use chopsticks, but actually it’s not as simple as it first appears. I learned this lesson a couple of years ago. I had applied for a job with a Chinese-Canadian company in Vancouver. As you know, the Chinese are famous for their food and they get a simple pleasure from eating.So I was not surprised when my new boss invited me out to lunch to celebrate my new job in a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. I was nervous. I knew we would be using chopsticks, and while I had tried many times to master the skill, I had failed miserably in every try. Would they laugh at me? Would I make a complete fool of myself?I went home that evening and cooked some rice and chicken and I spent the next hour learning how to use chopsticks. Try as I might, I could not hold the food with my chopsticks.I called a friend for help. She patiently explained the proper way of holding thembetween the thumb, first and middle fingers. “It’s not that hard,” she said. “That’s easy for you to say,” I replied. “You’ve been eating with chopsticks all your life. It’s natural for you!”I didn’t get much sleep that evening. I tossed and turned in bed, worrying about lunch the next day. The following morning, I could hardly control my anxiety. It was difficult to get any work done. At noon, I left with my boss and two co-workers and headed to the restaurant.We were seated at an excellent table. My heart was pounding, but then I noticed a strange thing. Instead of the customary chopsticks, each of us had knives, forks, and spoons.I was confused at first, but then, it hit me. My boss knew that I would have trouble with the chopsticks. He wanted to save me from embarrassment, so he had called ahead and arranged for us to be served with knives and forks.In a second, I made up my mind. I asked the server to bring some chopsticks for me. When they arrived, I took them in my hand and carefully manoeuvred my fingers around them.I looked over at my boss. He smiled as I grasped the chopsticks and took hold of a bit of rice and meat, holding on tightly as I tried to get it to my mouth. My fingers slipped and the food fell back to the plate. However, I didn’t give up, and eventually managed to eat my entire meal using only chopsticks.In the end, I wasn’t embarrassed at all. I’m glad my new boss was so considerate. And I’m really glad I decided to ask for chopsticks.We go out for lunch often in this new company. We always have a good laugh about that day. I have now mastered the chopstick skill. And you know, it really isn’t that difficult once you get used to it.42．Why was the writer have difficulty falling asleep?A．She was too excited about the new job.B．She was afraid to give a poor impression.C．Her friend didn’t explain clearly how to use chopsticks.D．She was going to eat in a Chinese restaurant for the first time.43．What is the writer’s boss like?A．Generous and thoughtful.B．Humorous but nervous.C．Strict and nervous.D．Generous and humorous.44．What does the underlined word “embarrassment” mean?A．A situation which causes problems for someone.B．A place where people get unhappy or uncomfortable.C．A kind of food which must be eaten with a fork and a knife.D．A restaurant where people can eat food from different areas.45．What can be the best title for the passage?A．Chinese Food, the Top Choice B．Practice Makes PerfectC．Eating with the Boss D．Knives, Forks or Chopsticks?四、单词拼写(敌人).47．In this programme, you can see the highest (水平) of dance in the Han dynasty.48．It’s important that teachers in class (give sb support, courage and hope) students to think actively and try new ways.49．Cooking (need) skills and knowledge. Sometimes it is thought as a kind of art. 50．The students’ scores decide they can enter a senior middle school or not, so everyone hopes to get a high score.五、选词填空51．The tourists have waited at the airport for a couple of hours.

九年级英语上学期的期末试题我们在学习英语的时候有很多方面是会出错的，今天小编就给大家来分享一下九年级英语，大家要好好学习一下哦关于九年级英语上学期期末试题一、听力测试(共28小题，每小题1.5分，计42分)略.二、阅读理解(共20小题,每小题25分,计50分)阅读下列短文,然后从每小题A、B、C、D中选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。

AMaterial OneIf your child often gets bad grades, you must feel sad. As a middle school teacher,I feel sad, too. However, I'd like to say that bad grades are not the end of the world.Recently, researchers from the University of Bristol (in England) and the University of Chicago(in the USA)did a survey. Over 10,000 people took part in the research. The study shows that promising children money, iPads or cell phones to pass exams is useless. However, promises of trips can encourage students to study hard. So from now on, please make proper promises.Material TwoAs an education expert, I care much about your kids. A lot of parents I know want their kids to do well in their studies. After all, good grades in school could increase kid's chance of achieving big things when they grow old.Helping your kids improve their studies can be possible by following these tips:See to it that your kids eat right. it's important to eat abalanced and healthy diet.Make sure that your kids don't skip breakfast.Let your kids get enough sleep. Make sure that they get at least eight hours of sleep.Getting a good night's sleep is as important as eating three healthy meals a day.Influence your kids to read often. Reading is a good habit. It can not only improve your kids communication skills but also extend their vocabulary.29. According to Material one,promises of can encourage students to study hard.A. Money B iPads C. cell phones D. trips30. Which of the following is NOT true according to Material Two?A. Breakfast is important to kids.B. Kids should have two meals a day.C. It's necessary for kids to get enough sleep.D. Reading a lot is helpful to kids.31. The underlined word“ extend” can be replaced by“ ”.A. breakB. wasteC. increaseD. remember32. From the above reading, we can learn that .A. the writer of Material One works in a universityB. the University of Bristol lies in the USAC. the writer of Material Two is a teacherD. parents can do much to help kids with their studies13. Who is the above reading written for?A. ParentsB. StudentsC. TeachersD. Education expertsB“How are you?”is a nice question. it's a friendly way that people in the USA greet each other.But "How are you? ”is also a very unusual question, it's a question that often doesn't need ananswer. The person who asks“ How are you?” hopes to hear the answer“Fine”, even if the friend is that " How are you?" isn’t really a question and "Fine" isn’t really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying“ Hello”or“Hi”.Sometimes, people also don't say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks " Do you agree?" the other person might think, "No, I disagree. I think you're wrong..But it isn't very polite to disagree so strongly, so the other person might say I'm not sure, it's a nicer way to say that you don't agree with someone.People also don't say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people. For example, many talks over the phone finish when one person says"I’ve got to go now. " Often,the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse: "someone's at the door. ""Something is burning on the stove(炉灶). ”The excuses might be real, or not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn't want to talk any more, but it isn't polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn't hurt the other person.Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, or finishing a talk, people don't say exactly what they are thinking. it's an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it's part of the game of language.34. When a person in America asks"How are you? "he or she wants to hear" ".A. How are you?B. Hello.C.I don’ t know.D. Fine.35. When a person disagrees with someone, it is polite to say “ ”.A. You are wrong. I disagree.B. I’ m not sureC. I'm sure I disagree.D. No, I disagree.36. A polite way to finish a talk is to say“ ”.A. You have to go now.B. I want to hang up.C. I have to go now.D. I don't want to talk any more.37. When a person says"I’ve got to go now. someone's at the door "the person may beA. giving an excuseB. hurting someone's feelingC. illD. asking you a question38.The rule of the game of language is probably “ ”.A. Always say what you meanB. Don't disagree with peopleC. Never say exactly what you're thinkingD. Be politeCOn a Friday night, a poor young violinist(小提琴家) was playing his violin at the entrance of the subway station. The music was so great that people slowed down to listen and put some money into his hat.The next day, the violinist came to the entrance again. He put down his hat as usual. Beside the hat was a piece of paper with some words on it. It said WA George Sang has put an important thing into my hat by mistake. Welcome to claim (i i)it. "Soon people were all attracted by the words and wondered what it could be. After a while a man rushed through the crowd, took the violinist's shoulders and said, "i knew yon would certainly come here. The violinist asked, "Did you lose Something? “ Lottery(彩票).” The violinist took out a lottery ticket with Sang' s name on it.Sang took it and danced happily.Sang was an office worker He bought the lottery and won a prize of $ 500,000. But when he gave $ 50 to the violinist for his wonderful music, the lottery ticket was thrown in, too. The violinist was a college student. That morning, he was going to fly to Vienna for higher education, However,when he found theticket, he canceled the flight and returned to the entrance.Later someone asked the violinist why he didn't take the lottery ticket to pay the tuition fee(学费).
