When he went by the railway station, he saw a young man coming out with two bags in his hands. So he quickly opened the door of the car and asked, "Where do you want to go, sir?""To the Star Hotel," the young man answered. When the taxi driver heard that, he didn't feel happy any more. The young man would give him only three dollars because the hotel was not far from the railway station. But suddenly, he had an idea. He took the passenger through many streets of the big city.After a long time, the car arrived at the hotel at last. "You should pay me fifteen dollars," the car driver said to the young man. "What? Fifteen dollars! Do you think I'm a fool(傻瓜) ? Only last week, I took a taxi from the railway station to this same hotel and I only gave the driver thirteen dollars.

Everyone on earth should care about and protect the earth!The earth has warmed by about 1ºF(华氏度) over the past 100 years, but why and how? Well, scientists are not quite sure. Maybe the earth gets warmer and warmer on its own. But many scientists say that people are doing many things which makes the earth warmer.First, greenhouse effect (温室效应) is a very important reason for the change of the earth. People give out too much energy into the air every year. It makes the earth warmer. Climate (气候) change is another important reason. Sometimes it becomes too hot and sometimes too cold. Sometimes there is too much rain and sometimes too little. The change of the climate makes the earth warmer. In turn, the warmth of the earth changes the climate, too.When the earth becomes warmer, there may be more rain and a rise in sea level. It will affect the growth of plants, animals and people. On a Pacific island, 100 people have to move to higherground because the sea is rising. These people can no longer live on the coast. Before that, two islands without people went underwater in 1999. Scientists say that the seas can rise by nearly one metre by 2100.People can affect the earth's air, land and water. As for us, we can do many things to protect the earth. For example, we can use fridges less. We can tell more people about protecting the earth.10. Earth Day is probably set for people to .A. learn more about the earthB. make full use of the earthC. take better care of the earthD. study the warmth of the earth11.We can infer (推断) from the passage that the reasons for the warmer earth are now.A. not very clearB. completely secretC. well knownD. not given yet12. Greenhouse effect comes from .A. sea risingB. climate changeC. nature's unbalanceD. people's activity13. The passage mainly tells us that .A. there is more rain nowB. we should protect the earthC. we must stop pollutionD. sea level is getting higher四、主观性阅读（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）Students can benefit(受益)from homework in many ways．To begin with，students have to revise what they have learned in class in order to do their homework．This gives them a chance to see if they have understood everything the teacher has taught them and practice what they have learned．Another advantage is that students have to work on their own when they do their homework and do not depend on teachers or classmates．However，there are also disadvantages．Firstly，homework needs a lot of time and effort，so students have no time for their hobbies and favourite activities．What is more，many students complain that homework is boring because they have to do the same thing again and again．HomeworkAdvantages DisadvantagesHave a chance to (1)_______ ___that the teacher has taught them．(4) _____________________________ for hobbies and activities．(2)_______________________________what they have learned．Have to do (5) again and again．Have to work (3) _________________________．初三第二次模拟考试九年级英语答题卷一、单项选择（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 二、完形填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 12345678 9 10三、阅读理解（共13小题；每小题2分，满分26分）1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1011 12 13四、主观性阅读 (每格所填词数不限)。

My parents had to bring up my three younger sisters and two younger brothers, so I found three part--time jobs to pay for my studies. I worked early mornings and late nights, so I was tired, really tired, all the time.Unfortunately, I got a cold and had a very high fever. Because I had spent all my free time working since I came to London, I hardly took part in any activities and I had no friends. Besides, I was too shy to communicate with others and ask others for help. After sleeping on the sickbed for two days, I went out to get some food. Normally, I went to the supermarket, but this time I went into the Greek shop, a small comer shop, because it was closer.I picked up some food and gave it to the shopkeeper, who asked me, "You look terrible, my boy! You are not feeling well, right? ”I said YES in a low voice.She pointed at the salami（腊肠）and bread I was buying and offered, “I can make you a sandwich, so you don't have to do it you rself. ”I nodded without saying a word.So, she made the sandwich and asked me to wait a moment. She went into the back room and came again with a bowl of hot soup.It will warm you up, she said with a friendly smile.What really warmed me up was not the soup. Her smile told me she cared about me. Her kindness reminded me of my mother.I had been quite shy, but from that day on, I did not let shyness prevent me from communicating with and being kind to others. Now I work in a children's hospital in Africa. I love my work and people around me. I always bring my smile and kindness to them.根据短文内容选择最佳答案, 并将其标号填涂答题卡相应位置.26.

It covers an area of 22, 500 m2, about the same size as three football fields, and the temperature is about-1℃ to-2℃. However, the strangest thing about this place is that it's in the middle of the desert! It's called Ski Dubai.It sounds crazy, but it just shows how serious people are about having fun. We spend huge sums on sports facilities（设备）. We pay our sports stars lots of money. And we spend hour after hour playing games! I wonder if all the sports-lovers and game-players in the world aren't a little crazy. I know I am. I was once driving past a football field where some kids were playing. I turned to watch and crashed my car. I know it's stupid but I can do nothing about it. As someone said, "Football isn't a matter of life and death. It's much more important than that! ”Of course, it isn't that important really. No game is. But the problem is that games are addictive（使人上瘾的）.From the tennis court to the golf course, you'll fred participants and spectators who can't live without the drug of their choice. It could be a good thing. After all, it's really true that sports and games help us to relax. Maybe if it wasn't for sport, our societies would be more violent. Perhaps sport is a substitute（替代）for war? It's hard to think of a quieter, more peaceful game than chess, and what's the purpose? Getting control of your opponent（对手）'s king. And surely, it's better to have wars in athletics stadiums rather than on battlefields.What's more, playing is natural. Little cats chase balls of wool and little dogs pretend to fight. Games help us perfect our skills and prepare us for the serious contest of survival.But do all games help us relax and stay away from violence? What about computer games? A recent article in New Scientist suggests that playing violent video games makes people more likely to commit violent crimes.Are these games a rehearsal（彩排）for life or a substitute for life? Do we play instead of facing up to our real problems? I don't know. But what I do know is that I need a break. Something to help me relax. Skiing would be nice.I wonder how much it costs to get to Dubai.根据短文内容选择最佳答案, 并将其标号填涂在答题卡相应位置.31.

Besides, the LeapPad can't connect to the Internet-so it is impossible for your child to stumble across anything improper.Pros: The education games are well-designed, the video camera is a fun way to play at being a film director.Cons: Some of the games are very expensive. And the power adaptor（适配器）is not included.Best for teenagersiPad 4th Generation,￡399-￡659The iPad is still the market leader.

Simple to use, even for those who usually struggle with technology.Cons: Considerably more expensive than most competitors.Best for working parentsMicrosoft Sur face,￡399-￡559Tablets are wonderful for leisure-but what if you want to do a bit of work?No tablet can yet compete with a full-size laptop computer, but this is the only tablet that allows you to useMicrosoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint(they are all pre-installed and included in the price) and you can buy a pretty lovely mini-keyboard for typing letters and emails, which also doubles up as the cover.Pros: The Surface is good for watching movies-a pleasant thing when stuck in the airport on a businesstrip-and surfing the Internet.Con: The keyboard is an expensive add-on-costing up to ￡109. It might be cheaper to buy a laptop(though a tablet is much smaller and lighter).Best for bookwormsAmazon Kindle Paperwhite, ￡109Nearly all tablets let you download books. It's a great way to take a great pile of hardbacks（精装书）on holiday without filling your suitcase.But most tablets have a shiny screen-which can be very unpleasant when you're trying to read. The Paper White is different: its matt screen and crisp black lettering copy the look of words on paper brilliantly. And yet you can still read the words in the dark.Pros: Easy, on the eye, excellent battery life, 180, 000 free books（if you pay for the Amazon Prime customer loyalty service）plus hundreds of thousands more to buy.Cons: No TV, films, games, Interact or camera.根据短文内容选择最佳答案, 并将其标号填涂在答题卡相应位置.36.

However, studies have shown that when exercise is performed in groups, it's not only great for improving physical health but for psychological health._____41_____ Additionally, group exercise creates a community feel and the shared common goal motivates participants to work hard. The instrumental support of taking on a fitness journey with others proves more effective than going to the gym alone.Another beneficial aspect of group exercise is the informational support participants receive from the instructor.
