Nobody knows the exact history of teeth cleaning.Before the first toothbrushes, sharp(尖的) objects were used to clean teeth.It’s believed that tribes(部落) in Africa and Australia invented the idea of cleaning their teeth. The modem toothbrush with bristles(毛) was invented in China much later in the 16th or 17th century. Toothbrushes moved to Europe in the mid 1600’s and then became widely used in the area. Animal hair was the first type of bristle to be used.Today, toothbrushes have nylon(尼龙) bristles and normally have a plastic handle. Animal hair was replaced by nylon in 1938. Electric toothbrushes were invented and marketed in 1880 by “Dr Scott”. The popularity of the electric toothbrush did not take off until after World War Ⅱ.

Some even think it can help one of the country’s worst problems—crime(犯罪).Crime worries a lot of people. Every year, the number of crimes goes up and up. They often come from sad homes, with only one parent or no parents at all. There are problems with alcohol(酒精) and drugs.There are many young criminals(罪犯) in prison(监狱). But prison doesn’t change them—60 to 70 percent(百分比) will go back to crime when they come out of prison.One man, Bob Burton, thought of a new idea. In the old days, young men had to live a hard life on the road. They learned to be strong and brave, and to help their friends in time of danger. This helped them to grow into men.So Bo b started “Vision Quest”.He takes young criminals on a long, long journey with horses and wagons(货车) 3,000 miles through 7 states. They are on the road for more than one year.The young people on Vision Quest all have bad problems. Most of them have already spent time in prison. Thisis their last chance.It’s hard work on the road. The day starts before the sun comes up. The boys and girls have to feed the horses. Some of them have never loved anyone before. But they can love their horses. That love can help them to a new life.Not all young people in Vision Quest will leave crime behind them. Thirty or forty percent till one day be in prison again. But that’s a lot better than 60 or 70 percent. Bob is right. Travel can be good for them.Even today, Americ ans still say, “Go west, young men.”【1】According to the passages, travel is good for people because it can .A、get rid of(摆脱) crime completelyB、change the way of lifeC、help to reduce criminals【2】Which of the following is NOT the character of the criminals?A、A lot of them are young.B、They may often drink wine too much and take drugs.C、They like travelling far away from their homes.【3】Which of the following is TRUE?A、Young criminals become less and less as time goes by.B、All criminals do better after they come out of prison.C、Many young criminals are changed better by Bob’s new idea.【4】The young people on Vision Quest have to .A、work all day and nightB、get up early to feed horsesC、love the homes【5】What does the underlined sentence “Go west, young men.” in the last paragraph mean?A、People can learn to be strong and brave on a long journey.B、People can learn to help others in time of danger on a long journey.C、Both A and B.3.【1】What’s the los t cat like?A、It is white and has two small blue eyes.B、It is white and has two big brown eyes.C、It is white and has two big blue eyes.【2】If you find the lost cat, you can call Sam at .A、3850926B、3325147C、5925147【3】Where will you meet if you want to row a boat in Tingtang Park?A、In Zheshan Park.B、At Jiuzi Square.C、In Thingtang Park.【4】If you want to rent(租) a 2-bedroom flat, you can call for more information.A、SamB、DavidC、Mary【5】You need to pay if you go to buy the book A Christmas Carol.A、$59.60B、$39.60C、$29.604.Recently, children’s literature(文学) has become more and more popular. In fact, children’s literature has been welcomed by both children and adults. People have tried to find out why adults love children’s literature just like children themselves. But there is no final answer.Children’s literature is very different from adults’literature. Most of it is fantasy(幻想). That means children can use their imagination. They can enjoy the fantasy world, which is never boring. The most important thing is that the world is bright and hopeful. In the fantasy world, dead people can be alive again and broken legs can grow once more. Right always beats wrong in the end.Children’s literature can also influe nce children a lot in education. When they read, their knowledge is increased and children know more about the truth. For a child who just learns to read, understanding the meaning of a word may be greater than learning the word itself.Children’s literatu re is not only for children. A large number of adults like it too. Not only young adults, parents and teachers, but also other people of all ages enjoy it. Both children and adults who love children’s literature can get much pleasure from it.【1】Is childre n’s literature becoming popular now?【2】What’s the fantasy world like?【3】What does the sentence “Right always beats wrong in the end.” mean in Chinese?【4】How does children’s literature influence children in education?【5】How do the people feel when they read children’s literature?四、其他补全对话（5分）从方框中选出适当的句子，完成对话，有两项为多余选项。

山西初三初中英语月考试卷班级:___________ 姓名：___________ 分数：___________一、阅读理解1.“How many common English words were invented by Shakespeare?”How long did it take people to find the answer to this question 15 years ago? And now! you can google it and find the answer immediately!Google is the most popular Internet search engine in the world. It was invented by two students, Larry Page and Sergey Brin. They met in 1993, when they were studying computer science at Stanford University, USA. They dreamed of producing something that could also answer any question in seconds.Internet search engines at that time were slow and gave many websites that weren't useful. In January 1996, Page and Brin decided to make a better and faster search engine. They thought the results should be based on the most popular websites.Nobody would give them money for their project, so they used their own money. They also borrowed money from family and friends. Then, in 1998, they were given achequefor $100,000, and they started their own company. Their first office was in a friend's garage. The company's name is Google, a word which comes from mathematics. A “google” is a v ery high number----1 followed by a hundred zeros.The google search engine was soon used by thousands of people worldwide because it was fast, easy and correct. By 2002 it was the biggest search engine on the Internet. Now, more questions have been answered by Google than any other Internet service, from sport to science, and from music to medicine. Google hopes that in the future all the world's information will be put on the Internet, so that everybody can find everything.【1】Why did the writer begin this passage by asking you a question?A．Because he or she liked to begin this passage by asking readers a question.B．Because he or she was afraid that the readers didn't know this question.C．Because he or she wanted to make the readers interested in this passage.D．Because Shakespeare is one of the most famous people in the world.【2】The underline word“cheque”in the fifth paragraph means ________.A．楼房B．帐单C．订单D．支票【3】From the passage we know that at the beginning of their project,______.A．there was not any search engine on the Internet.B．nobody supported them except their family and friends.C．Larry Page and Sergey Brin dreamed to answer any question.D．one of the most popular websites gave them a cheque for $100,000.【4】Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?A．Now the Google search engine is widely used in the world.B．The google search engine was not the biggest one before 2002.C．Larry Page and Sergey Brin named google after a hundred zeros.D．The service of the Google search engine is very popular.【5】The passage mainly tells us ________.A．the development of the Google search engine.B．about Larry Page and Sergey Brin.C．how to find information on the Internet.D．how to use the Google search engine.ke Victoria is the largest lake in Africa．It is also the second largest lake in the world．It is an important lake because it is one of the sources(源头) for the longest river in the world, the Nile River．Lake Victoria provides a source of water, food, and power for several African countries．Lake Victoria is a big part of African life．Unfortunately, Lake Victoria has a problem．It is shrinking．There are several power stations at Lake Victoria in Uganda．These are on the Nile River, and besides producing power, they keep the water of the lake at a certain level．For the past forty years, that level has been 11．9 meters．Over the last several years, the water levelhas dropped by about 2．5 meters．There seem to be several reasons for this drop．One possible reason is drought(干旱)．Drought has been very bad in the area since 2000．Lake Victoria gets all of its water from rain, so the drought means less water in the lake．However, some environmentalists believe that the real problem is the power plants(factories) on Lake Victoria．Uganda depends on those power plants for most of its power, and they made the power plants larger in 2000．Many people believe the power plants have been taking too much water off Lake Victoria．As a result, they have been asked to use less water until Lake Victoria goes back to its old level．Whether the low water level is caused by drought or power plants, the result is the same．This is already a poor area of Africa, where many people live a really hard life．People, animals and plants around Lake Victoria will suffer even more from low water levels on the lake．Many people need Lake Victoria for fishing or growing food．Fish need the water to live, and animals need it for water．Plants around the lake will die without the water, and then more animals and people will suffer．Unless the lake fills soon, many people will suffer and die．【1】Lake Victoria is __________．A．an important lake in Africa.B．the largest lake in the world．C．the source of water, food and power for America．D．the only source for the Nile River．【2】W hat does the underlined sentence “It is shrinking” most probably mean?A．It is becoming larger．B．It is becoming more beautiful．C．It is becoming smaller．D．It is becoming more useful．【3】The water level of Lake Victoria is now __________．A．2．5 metersB．11．9 metersC．14．4 metersD．9．4 meters【4】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Rain water is the only source for the lake．B. There has been little rain in the lake area since 2000．C. The power plants in Uganda provide water for the lake．【5】According to the passage, how can we solve the problems around Lake Victoria?A．People must build more power plants．B．More sources of water must be found．C．Every country should offer some money to Africa．D．All the people living in the area should move to another place．3.Over the years I’ve been teaching kids about a simple but powerful spirit—the ant philosophy (哲学). I think we should study ants.Ants have an amazing four-part philosophy, and here is the first part：they never give up. That’s a good philosophy. If they’re headed somewhere and you try to stop them, they’ll look for another way. They’ll climb over, and they’ll clim b around. They keep looking for another way. What a neat philosophy to never quit looking for a way to get where they’d like to go.Second, ants think winter all summer. That’s an important view. You can’t be so naive (无知的) as to think summer will last fo rever. So ants are gathering their winter food in summer. An ancient story says, “Don’t build your house on the sand in summer.” There is some reason in what it says. It is important to think ahead. In summer, you’ve to think about the storm. You’ve got to think about rocks when you enjoy the sand and sun.The third part of the ant philosophy is that ants think summer all winter. That is so important. During the winter, ants remind themselves, “This won’t last long；we’ll soon be out of here.” And on the fir st warm day, the ants are out. If it turns cold again, they’ll go back, but then they come out again if it is warm. They can’t wait to get out.And here is the last part of the ant philosophy. How much will an ant gather during the summer to prepare for the winter? All that he possibly can. What an incredible (难以置信的) philosophy, the “all-that-you-possibly-can” philosophy.What a great philosophy to have the ant philosophy! Never give up, look ahead, stay active and do all you can. 【1】If ants have trouble reaching somewhere, they will_________.A．give up their effort at last B．look for others’ helpC．wait for a chance to come D．get there in another way【2】Which of the following phrases in the passage has the closest meaning to the underlined word “quit” in Paragraph 2?A．go on B．get outC．give up D．think about【3】 In Paragraph 3, people are advised（建议） __________.A．to build their houses in winterB．to gather some food in winterC．to build the house on the sand in summerD．to think about the danger while in safety【4】The third part of the ant philosophy is ___________.A．more important than the other threeB．to believe in yourself and think about no difficultyC． to be active and full of hope for futureD．that we should know winter is longer than summer【5】Which of the following shows the “all-that-you-possibly can” philosophy?A．We should try our best to do what we can.B．One should think of what will happen in the future.C．One should get more pay for what he has done.D．We should spend more time doing our work.二、完形填空Recently, a reader asked me about the dangers that pets can face around the house.
