Student helpers who did well can get prizes.BOne evening about 20 years ago, I watched a documentary about how, in 1947, a “flying saucer” had crashed in Roswell. Several people who had seen the crash were interviewed, including a nurse who said she had examined an alien who had been injured in the crash. At first, the people of Roswell were told that a flying saucer had crashed. Shortly afterwards they were told that it was not a flying saucer but a weather balloon. I decided that the only way I could learn the truth about flying saucers was to investigate (调查) them myself.I have done a lot of research and although I still haven’t discovered the truth about Roswell, I have discovered the truth about hundreds of other UFOs. A lot of UFOs are actually army planes or weather balloons, while others turn out to be natural phenomena (现象) like planets or comets (彗星). By far the largest number of UFOs turn out to be so-called “fireball” meteors—slow-moving meteors that can take up to a minute to travel across the night sky.When I’m investigating a UFO report, I arrange to meet the person at the place where they have seen the flying saucer. I like to interview a witness at the scene and then take photographs of the area. Then I speak to my contacts at local military (军事的) bases and weather station, and then check the witness’ details against my information.In about 95% of the cases I’ve dealt with, the “flying saucers” turn out to be weather balloons, planes or natural phenomena. That still leaves 5% of that, no matter what, just cannot be explained.23. The writer says that UFOs ______.A. always travel across the sky slowlyB. usually fly near natural phenomenaC. are always seen near weather balloonsD. often turn out to be a kind of meteor24. What will the writer do if you think you have seen a flying saucer?A. He’ll suggest that you contact a military base.B. He’ll take a photograph of you for his records.C. He’ll ask you to take a photograph of it for him.D. He’ll me et you and ask you to describe what you saw.25. When the writer investigates flying saucers, he ______ .A. makes sure that someone has taken photos of themB. gives the witness the names of people who can helpC. can’t find a proper explanation abo ut 5% of the casesD. always tells the local weather station before he arrivesCConsidered as one of the English language’s most talented poets, John Keats wrote poems that focused on imagination, human nature, and life. Although Keats didn't receive much education on literature, his own studies and interests brought him much success. Also, his own life situation made a great difference to his poems.Growing up as a young boy in London in a lower middle-class family, the young John didn't attend a private school, but went to a public one. His mother was not well educated. His teachersand his family’s friends considered him as a common boy who preferred playing and fighting much more to minding his studies. After his father’s death in the e arly 1800s, followed by his mother's because of tuberculosis(肺结核), he began seeing life differently. He wanted to keep away from the world and did so by reading anything he could get his hands on.At around the age of 16, the teenage John Keats began studying medical treatment so that he too might become a doctor. However, his literary dream had taken too much of his life，especially with his love for the poems of Ehmund Spenser. He was able to have his first full poem published in the Examiner in 1816, named O Solitude! If I Must With Thee Dwell. Within two months in 1817, Keats had written another full poem, but was sharply criticized (批评) by a magazine. However, it didn’t stop his dream of poems．John Keats’ next work was Endymion, which was published in May 1818. The story includes a farmer who falls in love with the moon and leads him to a trip of one boy's hope to deal with the limitations (限制) of being human. Following Endymion, however, he tried something more story-based and wrote Isabella. During this time, John Keats began seeing his limitations in poetry because of his own limit in life experiences. He would have to have the “knowledge” connected to his poems. His next work was Hyperion that would like to mix all that he learned together. However, a bout (发作) with tuberculosis while visiting Italy would keep him from his work and finally take his life in 1821.26. John Keats' thoughts about life changed because of __________ .A. Edmund Spenser's poetryB. the deaths of his parentsC. the criticism of a magazineD. his early education from school27. What is the common thing between John Keats and his mother?A. They received little education.B. They went to a private school.C. They died of the same disease.D. They showed strong interest in poetry.28. What can we infer from the passage?A. Keats once had a chance of becoming a doctor.B. The poem Hyperion wasn’t completed by Keats.C. Edmund Spenser was the greatest poet in Keats’ time.D. Keats’ family must have been very poor when he was young.DMore than 50 music students at New Milford High School in New Jersey, US, got a letter from their headmaster. The letter said that the school’s music department was in big trouble. The students had to pass a test, or the department would be shut down.On a Saturday, two officials greeted the nervous students. They asked the students to play a piece by Richard Strauss. But they had to sing the words to the music – German words!Other tasks were also difficult. One s tudent had to sing Mary had a Little Lamb, a children’s song, in an operatic (歌剧的) voice.After three hours of testing, students waited for the results. They met some students from the New Jersey Youth Orchestra (管弦乐团). The judges gave them a merely average grade.The worried New Milford students started to realize they had no chance. “I thought it was over,” said Bryan Olsen-Santana, a junior. “The person next to me was crying. I felt bad for her. I felt bad for myself, too, because music is everything to me.”But then the headmaster came and told them something very dramatic (戏剧性的): “Someone’s played a joke on you!”What was going on?The test was part of a reality TV show (电视真人秀) called “Schooled”. The students’ parents, the school and a TV network had arranged it together.Everything was fake. The two “officials” were actually comedians (喜剧演员). The “students from New Jersey Youth Orchestra” were from another school.There were hidden cameras. The students’ parents were hiding as they watched.As a reward for putting up with the joke, the students got gifts: MP3 players, digital cameras and school supplies. They were all from the show’s sponsor (赞助商).29. What is the letter about?A. The headmaster would retire next semester.B. The sc hool didn’t have money to run.C. The music department was in big trouble.D. The students had to give up music.30. The students were nervous before the test, because______.A. they were not good at musicB. the judges were very strictC. they thought they couldn’t passD. it would decide the future of the music department31. According to Olsen-Santana, we learn that______.A. their school failed the testB. he likes music very muchC. the test was just a jokeD. the girl next to him was sorry for herself32. What does the underlined word “fake” mean in the passage?A. 顺利的B. 假装的C. 受欢迎的D. 便捷的四、信息还原（本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分）根据对话内容，从方框内选择恰当的句子将对话补充完整。

Although it doesn’t show beautiful pictures or exciting scenes, it 12 tells the story of traditional Chinese craftsmanship and their techniques (技术). After watching the film, the 13 and faith (信仰) of the traditional culture may deeply touch you.Zhang Jin, the director of the documentary is from the 14 of Hunan. After living in a modem and busy city for many years, he became nostalgic(怀旧的) for the traditional crafts of his hometown, so he made up his mind to record them.

Let’s take a look at three of them.Things 3Things is an award-winning task manager. It helps users collect their thoughts and plan their time well.The app’s chief design is a to-do list. It allows users to add context (内容), such as the time, date or location that they plan to carry the task out. Itthen shows a “Today” view with the day’s tasks, and group’s thi ngs users doafter work under the heading “This Evening”. It puts later tasks in a listtitled “Upcoming”StoryZIn the age of smartphones, everyone is a photographer. From taking selfies to sharing them on social media (社交软件), photo-editing apps playan important role in making our pictures look perfect.StoryZ’s latest version takes it a step further. The app has two modes.The first one is “Ripple Effect (涟漪效应)”, which makes still images (图像) move and come to life. It can create amazing animated photographs.Another one is “Motion Effect (动态效果)”, which creates video stories onstill images. It can turn your photo into animated GIFTaoMixIf you want to relax, sleep better or focus, the sounds of nature are an excellent choice. TaoMix allows you to listen to some soft sounds to releasestress and helps you take a break from your busy life.This white noise app provides hundreds of nature sounds.

The white noise app provides thousands of nature sounds.BHow far can scientists let their curiosity go? The Ig Noble Prize, a spoof (滑稽模仿) of theprestigious (权威的) Nobel Prize, exists to award unusual or unimportant achievements in scientific research.The awards are given every year to the 10 strangest research projects of the year. It is to “honor achievements that first make people laugh, and then make them think”.On September 12, the 2019 winners of the Ig Nobel prize were announced. Here are three of them. See how they bring you fun and make you think.Medicine Prize: PizzaIt’s one of the world’s most popular food, but what if we told you that a pizza can protect you against illness and death? According to the Ig Nobel Medicine Prize winner, eating more pizzas can lower the risk of cancer and heart disease—if your pizza is filled with fruits and veggies. These provide flavonoids (黄酮类化合物) to fight against certain disease. So, if you’re a pizza lover, you now have one more reason to love it.Economics Prize: Dirty MoneyAs one of the most frequently passed items on the planet, paper money is known to pick up all kinds of bacteria (细菌). Which country’s money is the dirtiest? To find the answer, an international team of scientists compared seven countries’ paper money. The y found that the notes including more polymer (聚合物) specifically the Romanian Leu, carry more drug-resistant pathogens (病原体). Perhaps this will make cashless (无现金的) payments more popular.Biology Prize: Cockroach (蟑螂)Cockroaches are well known for their survival abilities, but few people know they can sense magnetic (磁性的) fields. More surprisingly, an international team found that dead cockroaches have more magnetic properties (特性) than live ones. That’s because magnetic properties drop when the temperature gets higher.So if you can stand cockroaches, they may be good magnetic sensors.26. According to the survey, which country’s paper money is the dirtiest?A. RomanB. LebanonC. RussiaD. Romania27. What kind of cockroach may have more magnetic properties?A. A dead one near the stove.B. A live one near the stove.C. A dead one near the fridge.D. A live one on the ground.28. Which of the following statements is True according to the passage?A. The Ig Nobel Prize is a kind of prestigious Nobel Prize.B. If a person has cancer and heart disease, he shouldn’t eat too many pizzas.C. Because paper money is useless, this makes cashless payments more popular.D. Because cockroaches have magnetic properties, people may apply this feature to sensors.CWhen we wake up feeling sleepy and with dark circles under eyes, many of us often think “I’m going to go to bed earlier tomorrow!” But however determined (有决心的) we are, chances are that we don’t stick to our promise.This behavio r is called “bedtime procrastination (拖延症), and results from lack of (缺乏) self-control and our body clock, reported HuffPost.According to a study carried out by a group of health psychologists at Utrecht University in the Netherlands (荷兰) in 2014, bedtime procrastination is a common problem. In their study, 53 percent of the 2,400 participants (参与者) said they didn’t follow their sleep schedule (日程), delaying (延迟) it at least twice a week.It’s found that they delayed bedtime not because they liked to stay up late, but they couldn’t stop doing other trivial (琐碎的) things, which were keeping them up in the first place.“People who generally have trouble fighting against temptations (诱惑) and sticking to their intentions (意图) are also more likely to delay going to bed,” Floor Kroese, a psychologist at Utrecht University, further explained to HuffPost.Yet, according to scientists, lack of self-control is not the only thing to blame (责备). Our body clock also plays an important role when it comes to bedtime.In order to check the influence of the body clock on sleep, psychologists at Ulm University in Germany studied the sleep patterns (模式) of 108 people in February. It was found that those who get up late are more likely to postpone their bedtime than those who wake early every morning.And more surprisingly, night owls (夜猫子) would go to bed late at the very beginning of theweekday, even though they had to get up early for work and school. It’s their special body clock that plays a part in delaying their bedtime, reported Popular Science.29. What does the underlined word “postpone” in Paragraph 7 probably mean?A. make changes aboutB. forget aboutC. put awayD. put off30. What did the study by Utrecht University find?A. 53 percent of the participant delay their bedtime every day.B. The lack of self-control is the only reason for bedtime procrastination.C. Bedtime procrastination is particularly common among the Dutch.D. They delayed bedtime because they kept doing trivial things.31. What’s the best title of this passage?A. A common problemB. A study carried out by psychologistsC. Bedtime procrastinationD. Our special body clockDDorothy and her friends were worried to get out of the forest as soon as they could, so they hurried along the yellow brick road. It was not long before they came to a wide river.“What can we do now?” Dorothy exclaimed. “There isn’t a tree tall enough to fall across this river.”“There’s no problem,” the Scarecrow (稻草人) said. “The Tin Woodman will use his axe to build a raft (木筏).”And this is what the Tin Woodman did. And while he was busy making the raft, Dorothy found some wild fruit and nuts, which she ate hungrily. Then, because it was taking the Tin Woodman a long time to finish the raft, Dorothy lay down and went to sleep.The night passed without any problems, and the next morning the raft was ready, Dorothy sat in the middle with Toto. The Lion stood at one end and nearly sank (下沉) it because he was so big and heavy. The Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman stood at the other end. They both had long poles (杆子) that they used to push the raft through the water.At first all went well, but then the river became so deep that the poles could not touch the bottom. The Tin Woodman said, “If we cannot stay near the land and the yellow brick road, the Wicked Witch of the West will use her magic and put a spell (咒语) on us.”“And then we won’t meet the Wizard, and I won’t get any brains,” the Scarecrow said.“And I won’t get a heart,” the Tin Woodman said.“And I won’t get any courage,” the Lion said.“And I’ll never get home to Kansas,” Dorothy said. “we must do something.”The Scarecrow was able to push the raft to the river bank. Dorothy, Toto, the Lion, and the Tin Woodman got off. Before the Scarecrow could get off, however, the raft moved away from the river band and carried the Scarecrow down the river.Dorothy said, “Perhaps we’ll meet the raft further down the river. The most important thing now is to get back to the yellow brick road and continue on our way to the City of Emeralds.”The Lion and the Tin Woodman agreed, and they set off along the river bank. It was not long before they saw the Scarecrow. He was holding onto the pole in the middle of the river. There was no sight of the raft.32. What probably happened to Dorothy and her friends before the passage?A. They had a good time in the forest.B. They met danger in a forest.C. They met the Wizard.D. Their dream came true.33. Who wants to get a heart?A. DorothyB. The ScarecrowC. The LionD. The Tin Woodman34.Which is the correct order of the things below?①They had long poles to push the raft through the water.②Dorothy found some wild fruit and nuts.③The Scarecrow was holding onto the pole in the middle of the river.④The Tin Woodman began to build a raft.A.③②④①B.④②①③C.②④①③D.④①③②35. What can we infer from this passage?A. The Woodman didn’t want the Scarecrow to go on with them.B. The Wicked Witch of the West helped the Scarecrow in the end.C. They hoped to meet Wizard in the City of Emeralds.D. The Scarecrow wanted to meet the wizard by himself.第II卷四、阅读表达阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后的表格中填入恰当的单词，每空一词。

Are you so worried about something that you have a headache or even can’t sleep at night? If so, then you know what stress is. Stress is what you feel when you are worried about something. This worry in your mind can make your body feel bad. You may feel angry, sad, scared, or afraid——all of which can give you a stomachache or a headache.However, there are different kinds of stress. Some kinds of stress are good and others are bad. Good stress might happen when you’re called to answer questions in class or wh en you have to give a talk. This kind of stress can help you to do things better. For example, you may do a better job on your test if the stress pushes you to prepare better before the test.On the other hand, bad stress can happen if the stress lasts too long. You may not feel well if your parents are fighting, if a family member is ill, if you’re having problems at school, or if anything else makes you unhappy every day. That kind of stress isn’t going to help you work well. And it can actually make you sick.The best way to fight the stress is to have a balanced life. Make sure you keep yourself in mind: Sleep, Exercise, Leisure（休闲）, and Food. If you get enough sleep and eat properly, and if you exercise and leave time for fun, you’ll probably feel less stressed.答案：76. worries 77. mind 78. Good 79. helpful 80. prepare81 sickness/illness 82. stop/keep/prevent 83. balanced 84. proper/right/healthy 85. enjoy/relax江苏省泰兴市西城初中教育集团2021届九年级上学期期中英语试题五、任务型阅读（共10分，每空1分）根据短文内容在表格中的空白处填上适当的单词。

They also took part in an online game of "catch" against a computer programme that was designed to "throw" the ball to other players more often, but participants believed they were playing with real people online.Participants were then introduced to human-like products, including a vacuum cleaner（真空吸尘器）designed to appear as if it was smiling. At the same time, they were asked to consider questions like "how much does it help you?"The results showed that the participants were happy with the comfort they got from the machines and didn't need to look for human interaction.But it wasn't all bad news. "As soon as we tell them we know that it looks like the vacuum cleaner is smiling, they seemed to realize it was a machine and not a person, " Jenny Olson, professor of marketing at KU, told Daily Mail.Researchers believe the results are important for consumers（消费者）to realize how these types of products could influence their social interaction with real people."If someone notices they are talking more to Siri（语⾳助⼿）lately, maybe that has something to do with feeling lonely, " Olson said. "I think it's important to be aware of it."The study could also help companies design products that can increase the well-being of people who feel lonely, without reducing their interest in social interaction."Maybe it is more about improving our present relationships," Olson said, "such as taking a break from screen time and sparing some time developing your real personal connections."7. Researchers from the University of Kansas found that ________________.A. human-like devices may help people interact with othersB. lonely people cannot easily stop using human-like devicesC. interaction with human-like devices may make people feel lonelyD. human-like devices may reduce people's social interaction in real life8. During the experiments, participants _____________.A. were shown devices with human featuresB. played online games with real peopleC. were allowed to talk with human-like devicesD. were encouraged to interact with their teammates9. What does the underlined word "they" in Paragraph 5 refer to?A. The scientists from KU.B. People using Siri.C. The participants.D. Real people online.10. According to Olson, which is WRONG about the importance of the study?A. It can help companies improve their products.B. It warns people never to use human-like devices.C. It reminds consumers of the disadvantages of the products.D. It may help people improve their present relationships.四、词汇运⽤ (每⼩题1分, 满分10分)1.

His father was a wealthy businessman. In Defoe's early life, he experienced some of the most unusual events in English history: in 1665, 70,000 were killed by the Great Plague of London, and next year, the Great Fire of London which left only Defoe's and two other houses standing in his neighborhood. In 1667, when he was probably about seven, a Dutch fleet（舰队）sailed up the Medway by way of the River Thames and attacked the town of Chatham. His mother Annie had died by the time he was about ten.Defoe is among the founders of the English novel, known to have used at least 198 pen names. He is most famous for his novel Robinson Crusoe, which is second only to the Bible in its numberof translations. Defoe was a prolific writer, producing more than three hundred works—books, pamphlets, and journals—on diverse topics, including politics, crime, religion, marriage, psychology, and the supernatural. Defoe wrote many political tracts and often was in trouble with the government, including prison time. He was also a pioneer of business and economic journalism（新闻业）. Intellectuals and political leaders paid attention to his fresh ideas and sometimes consulted with him.Defoe also entered the world of business as a general merchant, dealing at different times in hosiery, general woollen goods, and wine. His ambitions were great and he was able to buy a country estate and a ship, though he was rarely out of debt. He was forced to declare bankruptcy(宣布破产) in 1692. On 1 January 1684, Defoe married Mary Tuffley, the daughter of a London merchant, receiving a dowry（嫁妆）of £3,700—a huge amount by the standards of the day. With his debts and political difficulties, the marriage may have been troubled, but it lasted about 50 years and produced eight children.Daniel Defoe died on 24 April 1731. He had probably experienced a stroke(中风). He was buried in Borough of Islington, London, where a monument was built in memory of him.29.
