2010年新目标英语九年级阅读理解、情景交际、书面表达专项复习练习题大全一、阅读理解：（一）When you are learning English, you find it not clever to translate an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence “How do you do?” for example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.Languages don’t just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. It’s important to master the rules for word order in the study of English, too. If the speakers put words in a wrong order , the listener can’t understand the speaker’s sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes. But sometimes the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn’t change between the two pairs of sentences:“She only likes apples.” “Only she likes apples.”“I have seen the film already.” “I have already seen the film.”When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit of the language and use it as the English speaker does.( )1.From the passage we know that when we are learning English.A. we shouldn’t put every word into our languageB. we should look up every word it the dictionaryC. we need to put every word into our own language( )2.We can learn from the passage that .A. if the order of words is different, the meaning of the sentence must be differentB. the order of words can never change the meaning of an English sentenceC. sometimes different order of words has a different meaning( )3. “She only likes apples.” .A. is the same as “Only she likes apples.”B. is different from “Only she likes apples.”C. means “She likes fruit except apples.”( )4. Which of the following is TRUE?A. The order of words can’t be changedB. We should know the rules for word order when we study EnglishC. It’s important for us to translate an English sentence word for word( )5.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “spirit”?A. 心情B.本意C.灵魂（一）A C B B B（二）A good reader is very much like a driver. He must change his reading speed to fit his purpose and the material he is reading, just as a driver does fit the road situation. A good reader may be able to read a tho usand words per minute (WPM) , but he won’t use that speed for everything he reads. A good reader doing research reading in the library may read at the speed of 1,000 words per minute as he looks for materials for a report. But once he finds something that is useful to him, he may need to slow down to 100 WPM . A good reader may read newspaper and magazine articles at 600 WPM . But it may take him 150 WPM to read his science or maths text . Just as a driver has a wide change of speed , so has a good reader .( )1.According to the writer , good readers can .A. read at 1,000 WPMB. spend more time reading C .change the speed as needed ( )2.The passage tells us that the speed of reading depends on .a .the number of books b. the purpose of readingc. the time when you’re readingd. the material that you’re readinge. the place where you’re readingA. a and bB. b and dC. b , c and d( )3.A good reader may use the highest speed of reading when .A. he is trying to find materials for his reportB. he is trying to work out a math problemC. he reads the material most useful to him( )4.The passage suggests that a good driver should .A. be able to driver at a high speedB. be good at driving on a country roadC. be good at changing driving speed( )5.This passage is mainly about .A. the importance of having different reading speedB. the relation（关系）between reading and driving speedC. the difference between driving and reading（二）C B A C A（三）Captain Good FellowDo your children enjoy interesting stories, funny games, and exciting dances ?

John ______________.A. was a poor man.B. couldn’t sleep wellC. didn’t like to sle ep in the carD. knew the town wellC A A C B（五）“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 favourite 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 se ntence,“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(可信性).Can you think of many other words that make your life as colorful as the word “c ool”? I can. And I think they are also very cool.1.We know that the word “cool” has had ________.A. only one meaningB. no meaningC. many different meanings2.In the passage, the word “express” means “_______”.A. seeB. showC. know3.If you are ________ something, you may say,“It’s cool.”A. interested inB. angry aboutC. worried about4.The writer takes an example to show he is ________ the way the word is used.A. pleased withB. strange toC. worried about5.In the passage, the writer suggests(暗示)that the word “cool”___________.A. can be used instead of many wordsB. usually means something interestingC. can make your life colorfulC B A A C（六）Last week, 169 Junior 1 students at No. 35 Middle School of Shenyang took their first no-teacher exam. 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 (信任) 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, 99 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," Shangguan Yuan 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.

People from poor countries will meet with those from richer countries in Hong Kong this week to study the question. The meeting, the Sixth World Trade Organization (WTO) Ministerial Conference (世界贸易组织第六次部长级会议), will be held from December 13 to 18.Poor countries say that the WTO's international trade rules are not fair. The rules allow rich countries, like the US and those of the EU, to give money, or subsidies (津贴), to their farmers. With the subsidies, farmers are able to sell their crops at lower prices.As a result, world prices go down. Farmers in poor countries that don't have subsidies get less money and even lose their livelihoods.Since China joined the WTO in 2001, for example, lots of subsidized US cotton (棉花) has been sold in the country. Cotton prices fell from about 6 yuan to less than 3 yuan per kg in 2001 and 2002.Every year, rich countries support their farmers with more than US$300 billion.
