A man at the station said sorry to us, but he didn’t give us any reassons for the delay(误点). We then had further delays on the way and had to wait another thirty minutes . As a result, I missed my plane from London to Frankfurt and had to wait for several hours.What’s more, the service on the train was also very poor, The trip took more than five hours.Unluckily, we could buy nothing but some soft drinks on the train. Worst of all, something was wrong with the air conditioning(空调系统) and it got hotter and hotter in the train . Before we reached King’s Cross , the temperature was over 40℃.Because of your poor service , I feel you should pay me compensation(赔偿).I am looking forward to hearing from you.Yours faithfullyDavid Robertson41．When did the train leave Glasgow? .A.At 8:00 a.m.B.

There was something wrong with the air conditioning on the train.(B)If you go to a fast food restaurant , you will probably see a lot of teenagers(青少年).Today , many teenagers are overweight , and some of this is because of their bad eating habits. Most teenagers love food with a lot of fat , oil,salt, and sugar. People often call this kind of food“junk food”.But bad eating habits go beyond fast tood. We find many teenagers eat unhealthily. Some don’t have breakfast before they go to school. During the day , some don’t have a proper meal for lunch . In a recent survey(调查) at one school , scientists found that over two—thirds of the students didn’t follow a healthy diet(饮食) . They didn’t like vegetables , and many of them did n’t like to eat fruits. They preferred to eat food with a lot of salt, sugar, or fat.Parents today also worry about their children’s diet. Some doctors gice the following advice:★ Teenagers shouldn’t eat too much junk food.★ Teenagers need to eat some fruits and vegetables every day.★ Teenagers need to eat breakfast every day . This is good for their body and mind.44．“Jund food” contains(包含) a lot of .k and sugarB. fruits and sugarC. vegetables and saltD.fat, oil, aslt and sugar45．In a recent survey at one school, scientists found many students liked .A.vegetablesB. unhealthy foodC. fruitsD. healthy food46．What does the underlined word “beyond”mean in Chinese in this passage? .A.超出B. 不如C. 相等D. 在后面47．The best title for this passage is .A.Bad habitsB.Junk foodC.

The music was so great that people slowed down to listen and put some money into his hat.The next day,the violinist came to the entrance again. He put down his hat as usual. Beside the hat was a piece of paper with some words on it. It said,“A George Sang has put an important thing into my hat by mistake. Welcome to claim（认领）it.”Soon the people were all attracted by the words and wondered what it could be. After a while a man rushed through the crowd,took the violinist’s shoulders and said,“I knew you would certainly come here.”The violinist asked,“Did you lose something?”“Lottery(彩票).”The violinist took out a lottery ticket with Sang’s name on it and danced happily.Sang was an office worker. He bought the lottery and won a prize of ＄500,000.But when he gave ＄50 to the violinist for his wonderful music, the lottey ticket was thrown in,too. The violinist was a college student. That morning, he was going to fly to Vienna for higheducation. However, when he found the ticket,he cancelled the flight and retuned to the entrance.Later someone asked the violinist why he didn’t take the lottery ticket to pay the tuition fee（学费）.He said“Although I don’t have much money, I live happily. If I lose honesty,I won’t be happy forever.”48. George Sang put into the violinist’s hat on a Friday night.A.moneyB.lotteryC.money and lotteryD.nothing49.

Now he might go onto the Internet and write about them in a blog(博客).Differences between a blog and a diaryUsually, a person thinks of his diary as a book full of secrets. He does not want to share. But in the blog,anyone can read what he writes.Problems with bloggingThe biggest problem with blogging is that anyone can read what you write.It is easy to hurt others’feelings in a blog. Because we do not always think about things carefully before we write about our days. So we have to be very careful about what we write.Keeping in touch with friendsBlogging has both good and bad points of course . People choose to blog because they know that their friends will read what they write.Blogs are a very good way to write about daily life, if people are careful about what they write. However, I still prefer(更喜欢) writing in my diary!52. What’s the difference between blogs and diares according to the passage? .A.Blogs can be read by others while diaries only by writers themselves.B.Blogs are used by young people while diaries are kept by old people.C.Blogs are always good while diaries are sometimes bad tor writers.D.Blogs are a good way to write about life while diaries about other things.53.It is easy to hurt others’feelings in blogs,because people .ually write about their daily life thereB.only write something bad about others thereC.don’t always think carefully before writing thereD.play tricks there on each other54.Blogging can help usA.write better diaries.B.do well in exams.C.learn how to use a computer.D.know more about the people around us55.We can learn from the passage that .A.the writer will choose to blog so that others can keep in touch with himB.the writer would rather keep diaries than write in a blogC. the writer has never blogged because he hates blogD. the writer doesn’t like hes sister’s writing in a blog第二学期初二年级调研考试（二）英语试主观题部分(45分)五、词汇运用（20分）A)根据句子的意思，用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。

some tips for saving water．Indoors：●Turn the tap off while you are brushing your teeth，washing your hands，doing dishes，takinga shower and so on．●Catch the cold water that comes out of the tap or shower while you are waiting for the hot water．Use it to water plants or wash your toilet．●Don't wash clothes too often．When you use the washing machine，make sure there is not only a pair of pants in it．Outdoors：●Water the garden and grass at night．This gives water more time to get into the earth without evaporation from the day's heat．●Plant small trees under big trees．This will help stop evaporation and gives some shade（树阴） for your plants．You can also plant a shade garden under trees．26．It's important for everyone to save water because ．A.70% of the earth is waterB．the water on the

gets stuck in these daily things and forget about fun until that one vacation week a year．Everyone needs a break and should have fun all year round．Just set aside one day a week and just go and do something．There are so many fun family things to do that won't use up your money．You don't need to go to that theme park and spend a month's salary on one day．A nice day at the park or museum can

nearly 100years ago．It was the theory of the physics behind the workings of our world and the universe．The idea was that the waves are like waves in space，caused by some of the violent and energetic processes in the universe．For example，two black holes crashing into each other．Now a group of scientists，including ones from Caltech，MIT and the LIGO Scientific，Collaboration finally found the gravitational waves．David Reitze is the executive director of the LIGO observatory at Caltech．"We have detected gravitational waves．We did it!"What are these gravitational waves？Well，imagine throwing a rock into a pond．When the rock hits the flat surface of the water，it creates waves．Space﹣time is like the surface of the water．So that means gravitational waves are like the waves moving out from where the rock hits the water．It might be hard to understand，but those gravitational waves expand and contract space and time as they move through space．And when they get to the Earth，the waves pass through，and they contract and expand the planet as the waves go by．It was Einstein who said these gravitational waves should be observable．But these are not huge waves．They are very，very small，which is why it took so long to find them．You cannot see them with your eyes．They are smaller than the size of an atom．How did the scientists find them？They used a giant scientific tool called LIGO，which stands for the Laser Interferometer Gravitational﹣Wave Observatory．The billion﹣dollar LIGO project is two L﹣shaped observatories．One is in Louisiana and the other in Washington state．For years，scientists have been watching two black holes in another faraway galaxy．The two were spinning around each other，moving closer and closer together．When they finally crashed into each other，it was with such power and force that gravitational waves rang throughout the universe，like a giant bell．Those waves，traveling at the speed of light，finally reached the Earth，some l.3billion years later．They are the same waves that the scientists announced this past week．So，what does this discovery mean？Our understanding of the heavens changed dramatically．32．What are gravitational waves about？A．About the workings of the universe．B．About how black holes form．C．About how the universe began．D．About how the waves form on the surface of water．33．The underlined sentence"two black holes crashing into each other"is used to express ．A．how the universe begins to existB．how gravitational waves formC．how new black holes appearD．how the earth is affected34．Why are gravitational waves difficult to find？A．Because they are too small．B．Because they are far away．C．Because they seldom occur．D．Because they have disappeared．35．With the discovery of gravitational waves，we'll ．A．create a new worldB．make full use of gravitational wavesC．understand the universe in a new wayD．avoid being hit by black holes．四、词汇运用（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）A）根据句意，用所给单词的正确形式填空，每空一词．36．It's important to make full use of every minute by managing your time （wise）．37．John is fond of sports，so he is now much （health） than before．38．Many young people want to become cartoon （art） in the future．39．Neil Armstrong is the first man to walk

is bringing more activities with natural views，and s（46） arranged events．In Tibet，in a wild peach forest，each tree is more than 100years old，and there are more than 1，200of them．The s （47） flower is

properly？Are they getting enough exercise？According to a new study，these worries may not be completely wrong．Meg Small，a researcher，says that only one third of college students have a healthy diet．Fortunately，according to the research，students seem to be healthier on the days when they communicate with their parents．Students at a large US university were asked to complete some surveys．The surveys included questions about how much time students spent talking to their parents and questions about their eating habits and activity levels．During the two﹣week survey，it was found that they ate 14% more fruits and vegetables，and were 50% more likely to take part in at least 30minutes of sports or activities on the days when they communicated with their parents for 30minutes or more．Meg Small believes that some parents may directly remind their children to eat better foods and take part in activities，but it is also suggested that even if healthy living was not discussed，the very act of having communicated with their parents can be enough to encourage them to make healthier choices and take better care of themselves．This study suggests that the more parents communicate with their children，the healthier lifestyles their children will lead．However，it is equally important to get a balance．By calling too often，parents may quite easily appear to distrust their children，while calling too little，or not at all，sends the message that they do not care．阅读以上信息，用恰当的词完成下面的表格．每空一词．Problem Most college students eat unhealthily at school．About the study ●Students at a U．S．university

know后面是跟一个宾语从句，宾语从句中应该用陈述语序，即主语+谓语，所以排除AB．再根据He looks unhappy．所以上面的宾语从句应该询问的是他怎么了．what's the matter with him中what本身是主语，所以后面的语序不用发生改变．故选D．【点评】主要考查宾语从句，一定要注意宾语从句的引导词，以及宾语从句的时态和语序问题．把握好这几点，是做好此类题目的关键！就本题而言主要考查宾语从句的语序．二、完型填空（共1小题；每小题10分，满分10分）16．It was a mid﹣April﹣a time when the planet Earth turns under the

She was scared when the wind shut a door. She felt even more scared as she imagined all the awful situations. Catherine was happy to be at her friends’ house. “I’m perfectly safe in this house. Eleanor’s room is near mine so I mustn’t be afraid.” she thought.She opened her bedroom door, saw a cheerful fire and was glad to be inside her room and not in the storm. Then she noticed the curtains were moving. As she walked to the windows to make sure there wasn’t a ghost behind them, she sang a little song to give her courage. She pulled back the curtains and looked behind them. Of course it was only the wind! She noticed an old box near the window. Now, Catherine, don’t start imagining what’s in that! Silly girl!She started to get ready for bed but she noticed a tall, black cupboard in the corner of the room. That can’t be the black cupboard Henry told me in his ghost story! Catherine picked up her candle and slowly walked towards the cupboard. It’s black and old, just like the cupboard Henry told me! Catherine saw the key was in the door and couldn’t help opening it to see what was inside. She could not sleep until she knew what was in that cupboard, but she was very afraid as she tried to open it. Very afraid but not discouraged, at last, the key turned, but she still couldn’t open the door.She stopped, listened to the sounds outside and she felt awful. There are surely terrible things in that cupboard and she can’t sleep until she knows what they are! ________(Adapted from Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen) 29．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．There was something behind the curtain.B．She felt afraid to open the blackcupboard.C．Catherine didn’t like the black cupboard.D．She saw the cupboard when in bed. 30．What’s the correct order of the following?①Catherine crossed the hall.②Catherine saw a cupboard.③Catherine noticed an old box.④Catherine pulled back the curtains.⑤Catherine came to her friend’s home.A．⑤①④③②B．①⑤②③④C．⑤②③④①D．①⑤③②④31．Which of the following sentences can be the best to put in _________ in Paragraph 4?To remember vocabularies drives a lot of students mad. Are there any useful methods to do it better? Here is a passage for you to read and learn.四、根据句意及音标填空五、根据汉语提示填空六、用所给单词的正确形式填空八、用所给单词的正确形式填空九、短文首字母填空十、阅读补全短文It’s midnight and the room is dark and quiet. You are struggling to fall asleep when you hear some strange sounds from upstairs or somewhere in the building—tapping or even marbles（弹珠）dropping and bouncing on the floor! Are there ghosts making noise? Luckily, science can explain.Andy Piacsek, a scientist with the US Acoustical Society, told the sounds could change as they spread through buildings, meaning the early sound could be very different from the final noise of “marbles”.“Plumbing（管路系统）is a good cause,” Andy suggested. When water floods through a pipe, it compresses（压缩）the air in the pipe and creates the first sound of a dropped marble. As the water flows away, the sound it makes grows more loudly, which may be similar to the sound of a dropped marble bouncing on the floor.十一、阅读填表Things adults should learn from kidsAdults should learn from kids a lot. For example, kids tend to show love. Every action they do for others, is filled with love. They don’t think twice before loving, and they just love. So adults also need to know: the best way to receive love is to first give it. Unluckily, most of us have developed the habit of questioning everything.Kids never hide emotions.
