Take a good look at it, and you will get to know the real feelings and thoughts of us, the 9th graders.In the middle of the wall, there is a big “VICTORY”. It was written in pencil. I guess it must have been written by someone who got a good mark in an exam.A little higher above the formulas, there is a poem. It only has two sentences. It reads: All those sweet memories have disappeared. Like tears dropping in the heavy rain.Oh! It must have been written at the end of the last term in middle school. Classmates had to leave school and good friends had to part. What a sad poem!If you “explore” the wall more carefully, you will find many other interesting things, like a crying face, or a happy face, and other patterns(图案). There are still some patterns and letters that I can’t understand, but they all show the feeling of the students who drew them.For years, the wall has witnessed(目睹) all the things that have happened in the classroom. I don’t know how it will be next year, two years from now, or even ten years from now. But I hope more smiling faces will be drawn on it.（）1.

Two?” The students moved restlessly in their seats. “One, then? Certainly somebody has finished one.” But the class kept silent. The professor said, “That is exactly what I expected. I just want to make you know clearly that even though you have completed four years of engineering. There are still many things about the subject you don't know.

But some of them have some wrong ideas about it.A plate of chicken is a good meal before games because it has much energy.In fact, the best meal before games should have carbohydrates(碳水化合物). Foods like potatoes, bread, bananas are rich in it, but chicken and meat are not. Carbohydrates are the best and most easily used form of energy. The energy that you get for today's game is from what you ate yesterday!The best time to exercise is early in the morning.No. Morning is a good time to exercise, but it may not be suitable for you. If an afternoon or evening period suits you, and you enjoy the feeling of getting healthier, you can choose any time to exercise. There is no fixed time for you to exercise.If you drink water when you exercise, you'll get headaches and feel tired.The fact is that you must have some water during breaks when you exercise. And after exercising, you must have enough water. If you don't drink enough water, then you'll probably get headaches and feel tired.Exercising the same body part every day is the fastest way to improve strength.False. Exercising the same body part every day is the fastest way to cause problems. Toimprovestrength, you want to work your muscles(肌肉) hard, but then you need to give those muscles a day of rest. Too much exercise can cause serious problems to muscles.Girls who do strength training will make their muscles big.Wrong. We usually connect those big muscles with bodybuilders(健美运动员)but girls don't have enough of male hormone(雄性激素) to make their muscles big like men. Strength training is a good way to make their muscles strong for girls.（）21. You had better eat _____ before games.A. bananasB. chickenC. meatD. beef（）22.

While working in space, spacemen are facing danger as well as success.Scientists have found out that the radiation（辐射）is the greatest danger to spacemen in space. When spacemen are working in space, they are in danger of the radiation from the sun and other stars, which is bad for their health. The harm of the radiation won’t be found until their children even grandchildren are born. Some special medicine may work a little, but no really effective medicine has been found so far.Space rubbish is also thought to be a great danger to spacemen. It’s reported that there were 9,000 man-made things flying in space. About 30% of these are satellites, 10% are spaceships, and the rest are space rubbish. An explosion（爆炸）in space in 1999 made a cloud of 300,000 fragments,each at least 4mm in size. A small piece of these even knocked a spaceship window and caused some damage（损坏）.Scientists are watching and reporting any possible danger all the time. They are working to deal with space rubbish. Although space is really dangerous, it interests many people on the earth. In the near future, it may become possible for people to spend a few days in a space hotel. We may even choose to leave the earth and live in space in a few years. So we should do something to help improve the space environment.（）26. ______ shows the man-made things in space in the correct way.A. B. C. D.（）27. The radiation from the sun and other stars is ______ to spacemen.A. goodB. helpfulC. usefulD. harmful（）28. The underlined word “fragments” means “______”.A. 碎片B. 泡沫C. 烟雾D. 飞碟（）29.

Their son, Peter, studied at a middle school. The young man studied hard and did well in his lessons. It made them happy.Last month Peter finished middle school and passed the entrance examination (升学考试). Mrs. Turner was very happy and told the farmers about it.Yesterday morning the woman went to the town to buy something for her son. On the bus she told one of her friends how clever and able her son was. She spoke very loudly. All the people in the bus began to listen to her.“Which university (大学) will your son study in?” a woman next to her asked. “In the most famous university in our country!” Mrs. Turner said happily. “The most famous university?”“Oxford University (牛津).”Most of the passengers (乘客) looked at her carefully. Some of them said to her, “Congratulations!”A woman said, “I'm sure he'll know Fred Smith.”“Who's Fred Smith?”“He's my son.”“Does he study in the university, too?”“No, ”said the woman. “He is one of the professors.”（）l.

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 anything. 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 footballer.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 students to write about the waterfall (瀑布) they had visited. On one student's paper was just the one sentence, “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 colourful as the word “cool”? I can. And I think they are also very cool.（）1. We know that the word “cool” has ________.A. only one meaningB. no meaningsC. many different meaningsD. the same meaning（）2.

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 colourfulD. may not be as cool as it seems阅读理解3 A meteorite (陨石) almost hit an 80-year-old man named Arthur Pettifer in Britain when he was working in his garden. The meteorite was the biggest in the past 26 years in Britain.The meteorite weighed (重量) one kilo, and might be over four thousand million (百万) years old.“I hear the big noise in the air. I looked up and saw the tops of the trees coming and going,” he said. “I didn't know what it was.”Meteorites are small things from the small planets in space. About 3,500 meteorites may fall on earth every year, but only very few are found.

Money for them can be sent to the hospital.After Mrs. Weeks read the story，she said，“This story gave me an idea.”“You want us to bring some money for the toys.”“We could bring some of our own toys for the children in the hospital.” said the boys and girls one after another.“Well，your ideas would be nice，” Mrs Weeks said，“but mine is different.”“We could make some toys.” shouted one of them.Mrs. Weeks smiled. “Do you think you could make toys?” she asked.“Yes, yes.” the whole class answered.“Great!
