九年级英语月考试题

ed toB.preferredC.got used toD.would rather
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意：虽然花了很长时间，但我们终于习惯了和村里其他人一样早起。
考查动词短语辨析。used to过去常常，常用used to do sth的结构；preferred更喜爱，常用prefer to do的结构；got used to习惯于，常用get used to doing sth的结构；would rather宁愿，常用would rather do sth的结构。根据“Although it took a long time, we finally...getting up as early as everyone else in the village.”可知，很长时间后习惯了早起，故选C。
2.Once upon a time there was _______ old man who had _______ one-year-old grandchild.
A.an; aB.an; anC.a; aD.the; the
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意：从前有一位老人，他有一个一岁大的孙子。
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意：这些机器人也可以帮助医生给病人动手术。
考查动词不定式作宾语补足语。operate做手术，动词原形；be operated动手术，被动语态；operate on给（某人）动手术；operate to表示给人动手术时，用介词on，不用to。根据“patients”可知此处用动词短语operate on sb表示“给某人动手术”。故选C。
考查动词短语和感官动词。looks看起来；taste尝起来；looks like看起来像；taste like尝起来像。根据“chocolate ice cream”可知，第一空指看起来像巧克力冰淇淋，用looks like；再根据“sweet”为形容词可知，第二空应用感官动词taste，表示“尝起来是甜的”。故选B。

In 1963, Fan, then a 25-year-old Peking University graduate, had the chance to work at the Mogao Caves.③“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.④Back 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.⑤As 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.⑥In 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.⑦“In my whole life, I’ve only done one thing: protect and promote the world cultural heritage of the Mogao Caves,” she told People’s Daily. “My heart belongs to Dunhuang.”4. How old was Fan Jinshi when she started working in the caves?A．25. B．30. C．60. D．85.5. What may people think of working in Dunhuang in 1963?A．Convenient. B．Relaxing. C．Boring. D．Difficult.6. How does computer technology protect the Mogao Caves according to Para. 6?A．People can admire the Mogao Caves on the Internet.B．People can buy tickets easily to enter the Mogao Caves.C．It can help people do research on the Mogao Caves.D．It can remind people not to harm the Mogao Caves.7. What’s the purpose of writing the passage?A．To encourage tourists to travel to Dunhuang.B．To praise Fan for her achievements in Dunhuang.C．To show readers the beauty of the Mogao Caves.D．To ask people to protect the Mogao Caves together.①Does a lake on fire sound impossible? If you think that water can’t burn, you need to learn more about pollution.②Let’s go and see Bellandur Lake in the city of Bengaluru in India. Bengaluru is the center for many heavy industries. Electrical and electronic goods, computer parts and parts for planes and space rockets are produced there. Much of the waste from these and a large amount of the wastewater from local people run into the lake.③These harmful mixed things have led the lake to become covered with a thick white foam (泡沫) that looks like snow when seen from far away. When the level of the water rises, the foam does too and covers nearby areas, even roads. When a fire breaks out on the lake, it is both frightening and dangerous. People who live or work near the lake also get seriously ill because of the pollution.④The fire has drawn a great deal of attention recently, but burning lakes are nothing new. Pollution mainly happens in developing countries like India today. In the past, it mainly took place in Europe and America. Cuyahoga River, a river in America, had caught fire at least 13 times. The fire that caused the most attention was in 1969 when oil-covered areas on the river were set on fire by sparks(火花) from a passing train. The fire reached a height of over five floors and burned for about half an hour. By that time, people in America were more aware of its dangers and wanted to change.⑤As a result, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was founded in1970 and the Clean Water Act (1972) was put into use. This Act required all rivers throughout America be clean enough to safely allow swimmers and fish to pass through by 1983. Due to these efforts, the Cuyahoga River has never had another fire and over 60 different species of fish live in the river.⑥If history is a guide, will it be possible for people in India to bring an end to the pollution by changing the laws in their country, too? Like many nations, it’s necessary to raise awareness of environmental protection among the general public. All of us must act!8. According to the passage, lakes can catch fire mainly because of ________.A．the rise of water level B．sparks set by a passing trainC．fire from nearby woods D．pollution from heavy industries9. The example of Cuyahoga River in Paragraphs 4&5 is used to ________ to solve the problem.A．show one possible way B．describe another serious fireC．bring Environmental result D．show the worldwide pollution10. The underlined words “its dangers” refer to the dangers of “________”.A．sparks B．pollution C．foam D．snow11. The structure (结构) of the passage might be ________.A．B．C．D．①Why do we do the things we do? What drives our behavior? Researchers have suggested different ways of thinking about motivation (动机), including looking at whether motivation comes from outside or inside a person.②Extrinsic (外来的) motivation is when you decide to do something because you want to get a reward or avoid punishment. Intrinsic (内在的) motivation is when you do something because you find it enjoyable. The behavior itself is its own reward.③There are many advantages of intrinsic motivation. Firstly, it’s lasting. It makes people willing to face challenges and work hard to achieve their goals. Besides, people with intrinsic motivation have a greater sense of satisfaction.④Most people think intrinsic motivation is best, but it is not always possible in every situation. Sometimes a person has an unpleasant task and he may not have internal (内部的) wish to completeit. That’s when we need extrinsic motivation. But studies have shown that offering too many external (外部的) reward can reduce (减少) intrinsic motivation. For example, in a study, they became less interested in the toys.⑤Both extrinsic and intrinsic motivation play a key role in learning. Experts have argued that traditional education pays too much attention to external rewards, such as grades. This undermines the intrinsic motivation that students might already have.

辽宁省沈阳市第一二六中学2024-2025学年九年级上学期9月月考英语试题一、阅读理解Many people consider Albert Einstein a genius. This story about him shows that he also had a sense of humour.Einstein often received invitations to explain his theories at different universities. On these trips, his driver Hans often said to him, “It’s a pleasure to drive a genius like you, Dr Einstein.” One evening, on their way to a university, Einstein said, “I’m so tired. I wish I could avoid giving my lecture tonight, Hans, but I don’t want to let my audience down.”“I know what to do,” said Hans. “I can give the lecture for you. You can trust me. I’ve listened to your lecture so many times that I’ve learnt it by heart. No one knows you at this university, so they won’t find out.”So, they changed places. At the university, Hans was guided to the front of the hall. Einstein took a seat, listened to Hans give his lecture without difficulty, and joined in the applause at the end.However, before Hans left, a man shouted, “I’d like to ask you a question.” He then asked a question so difficult that Hans had no idea what he was talking about.Einstein turned pale. “Oh, no!” he thought. “Now we’re in trouble.” But Hans just laughed and said, “That’s such an easy question that even my driver can answer it. Hans, please...”Einstein stood up and answered the question perfectly.They left the university, with Einstein driving.

Cranes have very long necks and their necks are black. That’s why they are called black-necked cranes. Cranes travel very far every year. Cranes spend about 5 months in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.Starting in March, black-necked cranes will fly back to Qinghai. There are lakes and marshes (沼泽), perfect for them to live in. Year after year, black-necked cranes may fly to other places, but they always come back to the plateau areas.Their life is harsh (艰苦的), because they have no enough food and the weather changes very often. Black-necked cranes have a very small population. They are under first-class state protection in China. Local people treat the birds with love. In local tradition, they are a symbol of good luck, so they are very popular.It is not hard to get along with the wild animals. Just give them a little more space.

Drinking tea is very popular in China and even around the world. It’s said that a Chinese ruler called Shen Nong was the first to discover tea as a drink. A few thousand years later, Lu Yu, the saint of tea”, mentioned Shen Nong in his book Cha Jing. The book describes how tea plants were grown and used to make tea.Nowadays, according to different processing ways, there are mainly four kinds of Chinese tea. They are green tea, black tea, Oolong tea and scented (有香味的) tea. Without fermentation (发酵), green tea keeps the original color of the tea. If the green tea is fermented before baking, it will be black tea. Oolong tea is partially (部分地) fermented. And if fragrant flowers are mixed in the tea during the processing, the scented tea will be made.Tea is produced in many different areas in China. For example, Anxi and Hangzhou are widely known for their tea. Tea plants are grown on the sides of mountains. When the leaves are ready, they are picked by hand and then are sent for processing. Later, the tea is packed and sent to many different countries and places around China.It’s believed that tea was brought to Korea and Japan during the 6th and 7th centuries. In England, tea didn’t appear until around 1660. The tea tradé from China to Western countries took place in the 19th century.Tea is good for people’s health and plays an important role in Chinese social life.14．Who discovered tea as a drink first according to the passage?A．Shen Nong.B．Lu Yu.C．Hou Yi.D．Yu Gong. 15．How many kinds of Chinese tea are there according to different processing ways in general?A．Two.B．Three.C．Four.D．Five.16．What does the underlined word “fragrant” mean?A．悦耳的B．难闻的C．难看的D．芳香的17．Which is the right order to produce tea?①Later, the tea is packed.①When the leaves are ready, they are picked by hand and then are sent for processing.①Then it is sent to many different countries and places around China.①Tea plants are grows on the sides of mountains.A．①①①①B．①①①①C．①①①①D．①①①①Though oceans cover about 71 percent of the earth’s surface, there’s still a lot we don’t know about them. Only about 20 percent of the seafloor has been mapped, and the remaining 80 percent is still a secret to us. Some scientists even think that 91 percent of sea animals have yet to be discovered.So why do we know so little about the deep sea? Well, getting to those depths is very difficult and requires high technology that simply didn’t come into being for most of human history. The first navigable submarine (可驾驶的潜水艇), for example, was built in 1620, and it couldn’t go more than five meters below the surface. In fact, for a long time many scientists didn’t even think that there could be any life at depths greater than 550 meters and didn’t see much need to explore (探索) the deep sea. However, this changed in 1862 when life was discovered as far down as 945 meters below sea level with the help of a digging machine. Ten years later, around 4,700 species (物种) unknown before from the ocean floor were discovered.Since then, high technology has been developed to help explore the deep sea, including satellites. But why is deep-sea exploration still so difficult? Well, at greater depths it is freezing (极冷的), everything is completely dark, and the pressure can be over 1,000 times greater than that on the surface.Though we have the difficulties, it’s important that we understand the seas. They helpcontrol the earth’s temperature and produce half of the oxygen (O2) in the air. They can also provide us with information about climate change. Our future depends on learning more about our oceans, and it is possible for us to really understand what is ongoing below the surface. 18．Why are some numbers listed in Paragraph 1?A．To introduce how important oceans are.B．To discuss why sea animals have yet to be found out.C．To explain that oceans cover a large area of the earth.D．To show that we have only a little understanding of oceans.19．What does the underlined word “They” in the last paragraph refer to?A．Sea animals.B．The seas.C．The satellites.D．Many scientists. 20．What can we learn from the text?A．It is difficult to build a navigable submarine.B．The seas have a strong influence on our future.C．The seas have no lives at a depth of 550 meters.D．It is easier to go into the deep sea than we think.21．What could be the best title of the text?A．Hidden Treasures in Deep Sea B．Unlocked Secrets of Deep SeaC．Deep-Sea Exploration: Into the Freezing Depths D．Deep-Sea Exploration: The Past and the Future阅读短文, 文后所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项, 其中有一项多余的选项。

四川省绵阳市涪城区2024-2025学年九年级上学期10月月考英语试题一、阅读理解The last Thursday of November is Thanksgiving Day. It is a holiday in the U.S.A．Usually, family members and friends get together for a dinner. People sometimes drive their cars a long way for a family reunion(团聚). Many people also take Friday off and make it a long weekend holiday, because most Americans do not work on Saturdays and Sundays.Thanksgiving Day began in 1621, when the first English settlers(定居者) reached the New World. They did not have enough food. But the American Indians helped the white men and taught them how to farm.In the autumn after the English settlers came to America, they had a good harvest(收获). They were so pleased. They decided toinvitetheir Indian friends to dinner in order to thank them for their help.As far as family reunion, Thanksgiving Day is even more important than Christmas or New Year's Eve to most Americans.1．If November 1 is Monday, when is Thanksgiving Day?A．November 4.B．November 18.C．November 25.D．November 2. 2．Which of the following is true?A．The whole family get together for a big dinner on Thanksgiving Day.B．All the Americans do not work on Thanksgiving Day.C．Americans still work on Saturdays and Sundays.D．Thanksgiving Day began in the sixteenth century.3．When the first English settlers arrived in America, they.A．had a hard time B．lived a happy lifeC．taught American Indians how to farm D．had a lot of things to eat4．The word “invite” means.A．stop somebody from doing something B．let somebody do somethingC．make somebody do something D．ask somebody to do something5．We can guess there are more family reunions.A．on Christmas Day than on Thanksgiving DayB．on Thanksgiving Day than on Christmas DayC．on New Year's Eve than on Thanksgiving DayD．on New Year's Day than on Thanksgiving DayToday is December 15, 2031. Influenced by the launch of the first manned mission to Mars next month, you will most likely get a gift card for a space trip.The interest in space trips has grown steadily among people since such a trip began. Therefore, the market has grown much larger this year since the official announcement of the Mars mission. More low-cost space lines have entered the market and you can now find flights for such a trip for as low as $3,495. It’s very reasonable.Space tourism is one of the markets that have developed fast during the last decade, with the opening of the Starlight Hotel on the moon as well as the low orbital hotels that started accepting guests. However, accommodation in space is still expensive for the average household, so the suborbital (亚轨道的) flights with thirty-minute weightlessness during the three-hour flight will be the most popular trip.However, the space lines might in the future face fierce (激烈的) competition with the appearance of space elevators (太空升降舱), like the one that is projected to start construction within two years. Once it is fully functional, it will start to ship cargo to space. But it will accept passengers as soon as possible to get back the large investment. Even if the elevator becomes successful, it will take several years before there are more elevators in the world to get in the competition for space traffic with the space lines.Those who are looking for a little bit of adventure and have extra money to spend may want to consider a suborbital flight in space. While a suborbital flight may not be the space mission that you have always dreamed of, it will give you the rare opportunity to see what our planet looks like in a high-altitude flight outside our atmosphere. So before you enjoy a trip by elevator to space, enjoy a suborbital flight first.6．From Paragraph 1, what will happen in January, 2032?A．A gift card will be taken to Mars.B．Mars will be explored for the first time.C．Man will go to Mars for the first time.D．An affordable space trip will come true. 7．The underlined word “average” means “________” in Chinese.A．普通的B．高收入的C．低成本的D．低收入的8．What is the space elevators purpose in accepting passengers as soon as possible?A．To ship cargo to space.B．To get in the competition between space lines.C．To start the construction of more space elevators.D．To get back the large investment.9．Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A．Space tourism has developed fast during the last ten years.B．A suborbital flight may be the space mission that you have dreamed of.C．The suborbital flights will be the most popular trip for some time.D．Even though the elevator becomes successful, we will still have to wait for a few years to see more elevators come out.10．We can know from the passage that ________.A．the low orbital hotels have opened since a space trip beganB．within two years, space elevators will begin to ship cargo and people to spaceC．during the suborbital flights, you will experience 30 minutes’ weightlessnessD．if you want to satisfy your curiosity, you may try a suborbital flightSome people have a very poor sense of direction. Unluckily, I am one of them. I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time.When I was a little girl, I never dared to ask strangers the way. And so I used to walk around in circles and hope that by chance I would get to the place I was going to.Now, I am no longer too shy to ask people for directions, but I often receive helpless or even wrong information. So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions. If anyone ever asks me the way somewhere, I would say, “Sorry, I am a stranger here.”Once on my way to work I was stopped by a man. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. I gave him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps, I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However, I had no time to turn back andlook for him. I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and I didn’t want to keep him waiting.When I just got to my office, the secretary (秘书) showed in the man who had asked me for directions. Imagine how embarrassed I was and how surprised he was when we saw each other at the first sight.11．The writer always refuses to give people directions because _______.A．she is a stranger to the cityB．she doesn’t know the peopleC．she has no time to help othersD．she’s afraid of giving wrong directions12．A man stopped the writer on the way to ________.A．sell her something B．ask her the timeC．make friends with her D．ask for the direction13．The Friendship Building is the place where the writer _________.A．lives B．studies C．works D．teaches14．The word “embarrassed” in the last paragraph means “_________”.A．尴尬B．困惑C．激动D．拮据15．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．The writer is too shy to give others directions.B．The writer has a very poor sense of direction.C．The writer never got lost when she was young.D．The man was quite nervous when he saw the writer.Note taking is a skill that can help you do well in all your school work. It can make you confident when you are studying. But unluckily, most students don’t know how to take notes.★Write down key facts. If your teacher writes notes on the blackboard, that’s great. You can copy them or write down the most important facts of all in class. Different teachers do things differently. For example, some teachers may focus on (关注) lots of dates and facts in class, but they only write the important ones on the blackboard. Other teachers may not write anything down, but they may say something important again and again.★Ask. Don’t be afraid to ask your teacher to repeat what you miss. If your teacher speaks too fast and you can’t follow what he is saying, you can ask him after class.★Compare. Comparing your notes with your classmates’ can be good for your learning. It can also help you and your classmates correct some mistakes.★Organize. Notetaking also needs organization. Keep notes for each subject in one notebook, so that you can find everything easily when a test comes.★Good notetaking takes time.

But you’ll save time in the coming test.16．There are ________ main points about notetaking in this passage.A．4B．5C．6D．717．What should you write down in your notebook in class?A．Every word.B．Lots of dates.C．The most important facts.D．Your complaints about the teacher.18．If you can’t follow your teachers in class, what should you do?A．Ask them after class.B．Ask them before class.C．Stop listening in class.D．Complain to them about the class. 19．Which way can help you correct mistakes in your notes?A．Organizing the notes.B．Recopying your notes after class.C．Asking your teachers for help.D．Comparing your notes with others’. 20．Which can be the best title for this passage?A．How to Take Notes.B．What to Do in Class.C．How to Study for a Test.D．What to Do with Problems.二、完形填空Being polite can help you make friends, and being rude can make you lose friends. Being polite does not seem difficult, 21 for many people it remains a challenge. You might want to know 22 to be a polite person. The following are two suggestions: Be gentle, not pushy. When you do something, offer something, or make a request, you do it 23 making people feel like they are being pushed into a corner. For example, if you are having a conversation, it’ sOK to ask a question or offer your opinion, but it is 24 to be pushy. Even if you’re trying to help, such as offering to pay for lunch and offering to wash the dishes, don’t be pushy. 25 the person says “No, thank you.”, then say “Please, I’d really love to help.” If they 26 say no, then let it go.

Here’s what you need to know about the sport.Why is it called breaking?Breaking started in the 1970s, in New York City. At parties, dancers got upto perform during musical “breaks”, which gave breaking its name. Breaking isnow an important part of hip-hop culture around the world.Who can be a breaker?Anyone can be a B-girl or a B-boy, which is what breakers call themselves. Voctor Montalvo is an American B-boy. “Breakning is great because it’s part of hip-hop culture, and in hip-hop culture, it doesn’t matter what color you are, who you are, where you’re from. It’s inclusive,” he says. “It’s all about peace, love, unity, and having fun.”What is the breakers’ language?Breakers have their own language to describe their dance style. They take turns to show their best moves in a friendly competition called “battling” (斗舞). They might spin, flip, or blance on their hands. It’s like playing withthe body to music. Normally, they would dance to fast and energetic music.Do the breakers pick their own music?No! In breaking competitions, a DJ picks the music for each round. The breakers never know what songs the DJ will pick, so they have to choose their moves on the spot (场所，地点).( ) 23. When did breaking first appear at the Olympics?A. In the 1970s.B. In 2024.C.

You may find many people choose style over comfort and some even go to extremes (极端) to follow fashion. But we should remember: being fashionable isn’t everything. It’s more important to be healthy.Some people believe that they need to be a certain size to look good. So, they start extreme diets that are not good for their health. They might not eat meals or eat too little, which can make them feel sick. Is it a healthy way to live?Also, many girls wear shoes with very high heels(鞋后跟). They might think high heels make them look taller. But these shoes can actually hurt their feet and make it hard to walk comfortably, and they can increase the risks of falls. Some even wear tight (紧的) clothes that influence blood circulation (循环), making it hard to breathe. Should we put fashion over comfort and physical health?Besides, some boys and girls spend a lot of time and money changing their hair color. The material they use is usually harmful to their health. To make their hair straight or curly, they also use tools that are hot enough to burn their hair. But using these tools too often or at very high temperatures can make the hair dry or even burnt. Is it really worth it to risk our health, spending so much time and money?So, let's think again what's really important. Is it fashion or is it our well-being? Clothes or hairstyles don't tell us anything about a person's character. Instead of spending a lot of time choosing clothes, we could use that time to do fun things with friends. And instead of following extreme diets, let's eat properly and exercise regularly(有规律地). Remember, the value of you is not decided by your appearance, but by who you are as a person.( ) 27.
