Suddenly,Cherub saw a large shark(鲨鱼)swimming above them. “It was Big White. . . the biggest,scariest shark in the sea,” she shouted to Oliver. Cherub looked at Big White hopelessly. She was too frightened to swim. Just at this moment, Big White rushed down toward them. An idea came to Oliver. He quickly sprayed (喷射) a very dark cloud of black water to the sharks eyes. Then Oliver and Cherub escaped and got home safely.“Are you OK?” asked Oliver. Cherub laughed happily,“That was the most interesting trip ever! You saved me just now,Oliver.

九年级英语第一次模拟试题及答案(2)九年级英语第一次模拟试题及答案BWe were very pleased with the photo competition. Compared with other years, wereceived many more photos. Even though all of the photos are excellent, we can't give prizes to everyone. There are four prizes, so read on to find out who the winners are.The person who won the prize of the “Most Beautiful Nature” photography is fifteen- year-old Li Wei. Li took photos of the mountains in Xiangshan Park. The park isn't far from his home, about 500 metres, and he knows it well.The photo we liked best in the “Historic China” group was taken by Zhao Min. Zhao is only 12 years old. Her photo is of Tiananmen Square, the largest public square in the world. It s 880 metres from north to south and 500 metres wide at the northern end. Her photo shows the size and beauty of the square perfectly.The best photo in “Music” category was taken by He Zhong who is fourteen years old. His photo of this year's best band Crazy Feet shows the singer, Becky Wang, and the band playing at a concert in Shenzhen. He Zhong manages to show the movement and the sounds of this great new band, and the fun which their fans are having.A collection of photos called the “Many Faces of Our City” which features Beijing won the prize for the Most Unusual ’category. Three pupils at the same school worked on this entry. It includes photos of different parts of the city, old and new. It successfully shows the rich culture which makes Beijing so famous.Congratulations to our winners and thanks to everyone who entered the competition. We are very lucky that the famous photographer John William is in China to talk about his new book. He has agreed to present the prizes at the prize giving ceremony at the end of this month.41. The passage mainly talks about the results ofA. student photo competitionB. student competitionC. adult photo competitionD. student swimming competition42.

Why are the fans having fun?A. Because of the movement of the band.B. Because of the sounds of the band.C. Because the band moved and sounded crazily.D. Because Crazy Feet was the best band.CWhy is it that some people seem to learn several languages without any effort, while for others learning just one foreign language is neither enjoyable nor successful? What makes learning a new language so easy for some and so difficult or others.We each have our own preferred way of learning as a result of our cultural and educational backgrounds and our personalities. Experts have identified different learning styles.Visual Learners usually enjoy reading and prefer to see an image of the words they are learning. They like looking at pictures and flashcards. Auditory Learners, on the other hand, prefer to learn by listening. They enjoy conversations and talking to others. They don’t need to see words written down. One study revealed that Japanese students tend to be Visual Learners, while English-speaking American, prefer the auditory learning style.Some people like to learn by using their hands to touch objects, while others like to move around and need frequent breaks from sitting at a desk.There are Analytical Learners, meaning they enjoy understanding how the language works. They love studying grammar rules and like to focus on details, whereas Global Learners are more interested in communicating their ideas and are not worried about whether what they say is grammatically correct.In spoken English, the Japanese tend to be Reflective Learners. They think carefully before they speak to ensure their message is accurate. They do not make so many mistakes but their communication is slower. European learners tend to be mote Impulsive Learners. They speak more fluently and worryabout how well they are communicating rather than how many mistakes they are making.So, to do well in a language, you should identify your style and try to find a class that will teach you the way you want to learn. For example, if you are a Reflective Learner, you may not do so well in a purely conversational class and as an Auditory Learner, you probably don’t want to do so much reading. In fact if you are an Auditory Learner, you are probably not enjoying yourself right now!46. The passage mainly talks about ______.A. the difficult learning styles of some peopleB. the easy learning ways of, other peopleC. the different learning styl es of the JapaneseD. the different learning methods of all the people47. Which of the following phrases isn’t connected with th e learning style?A. The way people are taught to learn a language.B. The place where people are from.C. The size of people.D. The kind of person people are.48. Visual Learners like to ______.A. see thingsB. touch thingsC. hear thingsD. do things49. Auditory Learners like to ______.A. hear thingsB. buy thingsC. destroy thingsD. paint things50.

are each twelve hours long.The sun rises at 6 o'clock in the morning and sets at 6 o'clock in the evening.For six months the north Pole is tilted(倾斜)toward the Sun.In those months the Northern Hemisphere(半球)gets more hours of sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere.Days are longer than nights.South of the equator nights are longer than days.For the other six months the North Pole is tilted away from the sun.Then the Southern Hemisphere gets more sunlight.Days are longer than nights.North of the equator nights are longer than days.Winter is the season of long nights.Summer is the season of long days.31.When the Western Hemisphere is having day,the Eastern Hemisphere is having _________.A.both day and night B.dayC.neither day nor night D.night32.A place is moved from day into night
