2019届浙江杭州萧山区城区五校九年级12月考英语试卷【含答案及解析】姓名___________ 班级____________ 分数__________一、阅读理解1. Michael Jordon is the greatest basketball player so far. Once he was makinga television advertisement. All Michael needed to do in the advertisement was to miss a shot. For Michael, this was difficult. He always succeeded whenever he was throwing the ball. Every time he threw a basketball, it went in. Every time he tried to miss a shot, he failed. In total, it took him over 20 times before he missed a shot.For Michael, success is a strong habit. He had formed a habit which was so strong that it took him a lot of time to break it and “fail”. Just like drinking, smoking and collecting things, success is also a habit. Like all habits, once it is established , it is difficult to break. Many people think that success is difficult to maintain(维持). They feel that it will be hard work and will need too much action and focus. The truth is that it issimply a habit, and as easy to keep as any other habit. Spend some time making success a habit in your life. Once you have developed it, it is not something you will want to change again.

About 8 to 15 percent of people are left handed. They often have to use tools that are designed for right-handed people. So it is difficult for left-handers to use most tools. If you are right handed, try this experiment: Take a knife with your left hand and try cutting a potato into pieces. Don’t be surprised if you feel awkward(别扭的).In the past, people thought it was strange to use the left hand. Young students looked down upon their left-handed classmates. Some children wereeven punished for using their left hand to write. But these days parents and teachers have accepted that. In almost every school in the world, left-handed students can use their left hand to write.What causes people to be left handed or right handed? Experts have searched long and hard on this. They conclude(得出结论) that left-handed people areleft handed for the same reason that right-handed people are right handed..One out of every ten people just is a left-hander. It’s simply like the color of our eyes – some people have brown eyes, while some others have black eyes. However, many researchers think that left-handers and right-handers are different in some aspects. Right-handers are more talkative and outgoing than left-handers. Many right-handed people understand spoken words better. For example, after they listen to directions to a supermarket, they can find it easily. Right-handers are good at organizing people, too. They are also better basketball guards. Just ask Yao Ming.Research shows that left-handers are creative and artistic. Many famous performers, like Jim Carrey and Paul McCartney, are left handed. Many left-handers learn better visually(在视觉方面). In art, both Leonardo da Vinciand Michelangelo were left handed. In music, Ludwig van Beethoven was left handed. In science, you find Newton and Einstein. The left-handed people are also really good at tennis and other single sports.If you prefer one hand, but you are still good at writing with the other, you are mixed handed. Research shows mixed-handers can remember everyday things better than other people. What did you eat for lunch two weeks ago? If you’re mixed handed, you can probably remember.1.If right-handers cut up potatoes with their left hand, they will _________ .A. get hurt___________________________________B. give up cuttingC. feel awkward ______________D. change their tools2.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. Causes of being left handed.B. Encouragement to left-handersC. Punishment for using the left hand.D. Changes in opinions on left-handers.3. According to the passage, right-handers _________ .A. learn better visuallyB. are good organizersC. are better at single sportsD. give clear directions to others4. From the passage, we can learn that left-handers ________ .A. may be more talkative and outgoingB. are ordinary people like right-handersC. might remember everyday things betterD. no longer need to use right-handed tools3.On Lunar New Year’s Eve on Feb 18, 2015,Beijing had a good day. PM2.5levels were below 50. However, the nice day ended with firework celebrationsat night.In the first hour after the start of the celebration, PM2.5 levels rose to500 in certain parts of the city, with the average across the city around 400.According to the China National Environmental Monitoring Center, on Lunar New Year’s Day, air pollution reached “dangerous levels” in 201 Chinese citi es, because of fireworks, with more than 40 of them seeing “serious pollution”. As a result, the debate on whether to ban (禁止) fireworks during the Spring Festival is also heating up.Sina surveyed 3,000 Internet users, and results show that only 38 percent of the people support setting off fireworks, and 60 percent are against it.“I support a ban on fireworks,” a netizen (网民) nicknamed ann019 said. “Lighting fireworks can only bring problems: air pollution, disturbing sleep, causing fire and exhausting sanitation workers (环卫工人).”Others thought it to be hard to ban traditions, and lighting fireworks during holiday seasons won’t cause lasting pollution.Some, however, suggest a moderate (温和的) way to solve the problem.“As a tradition, fireworks absolutely add to the festival’s happiness. They shouldn’t be banned totally,” commented netizen Tracy on the China Daily online forum (论坛). “But the time should be reduced. For example, it can be allowed just during New Year’s Eve, the first day of the Lunar New Year and the Lantern Festival.”1. ______________ caused serious air pollution on Lunar New Year’s Eve.A. The factoriesB. The carsC. The fireworksD. The bad weather2.______________ cities saw serious air pollution on Lunar New Yea r’s Day.A. 201 _________B. More than 40C. Around 400D. 5003.

Exhausting sanitation workersB. Disturbing sleepC. Wasting moneyD. Causing fire5. According to the passage, we know ______________ is a moderate way to solve the problem.A. to ban fireworks totallyB. to reduce the time of setting off fireworksC. to get more people to set off fireworksD. to never change the tradition6.

But she rolled her eyes and said, “Yeah.” I smiled to show her I wasn’t criticizing. “Cherish her,” I said. And then I answered her curious expression by saying, “When she’s gone, it’s the little moments like this that’ll come back to you.” It was true. I missed my mother still and remembered the moments when I was so impatient as to make her life miserable.The elderly woman moved with her deliberate slowness back to her daughter. Together they made their way toward the exit of the video store. They stood there for a moment, side by side,waiting for the rushing holiday current and for their place in it.

ATwo blocks. Two very, very long blocks beyond in deep darkness. It is 1953, and I have walked these blocks many times on my way to the room I rent off campus. I get off the bus after leaving the library at ten o’clock in the evening clutching books in my arms, with a purse hanging from a strap on my shoulder.My landlady works the night shift at the hospital, so at this hour, the house will be as dark and blank as the others on this street. Everything is quiet and closed. Far ahead is a streetlight. I am thinking about a paper due in a few days. What theme should I explore? Will the professor admire or dismiss it? Why are we reading Dreiser anyway?I notice headlights coming toward me. A car is driving slowly down the street on the other side. As it passes, I glance at the driver—male, blond. I keep walking. The car slows down and stops. I hear its door slam shut. A few seconds later, I hear footsteps behind me. I keep walking; I do not speed up, because I don’t want to call attention to myself. The walker may be going to a house nearby, visiting afriend. Besides, what would be the point of hurrying, running?I still have to get my door key from my purse. When I reach my house, I will have to walk upstairs to the porch, and fumble in the dark for my key. Then he will climb the steps behind me, put his right hand over my mouth, knock me down on the porch floor, scattering my books and the contents of my purse. There is no one to see. He will hold me down with one hand squeezing my throat, search my body for any valuables with the other, and say, “Don’t fight me; don’t fight.”I am exhausted. The scene I have imagined is detailed, brutal, and unbearable. I cannot live through what I expect.I stop.I turn around and wait for him. I wait and wait until he catches up to where I stand, with nothing to defend myself but the urgency to escape not what might happen but what has already happened in my mind.He comes close, closer. I can see his eyes (or I think I can).“Will you please leave me alone.” It is neither a question nor a scream. My voice is low, conversational. Nothing can be worse than what I have imagined.He pauses. “I’m not going to bother you,” he whispers, then turns around and walks back to his car.21. What is on the author’s mind before she notices the car?A.The long way home.B. The dark and blank street.C.Her landlady’s absence.D. The theme of her paper.22. The underlined word “fumble” is closest to ___________ in meaning.A. reachB. searchC. findD. touch23. Why does the author turn around and wait for the man?A.She tries to escape what has happened in her mind.B.She wants to ask him whether he will leave her alone.C.She knows she will be safe after talking with him.D.She is so terrified of what is going to happen later.BIf you don’t know about jackfruit, pay attention, because you’re about to meet yo ur new protein substitute.Take a walk down the produce aisle and you may spot a light green, oval-shaped, nubby fruit. While every fruit is distinctive, this one in particular is hard to ignore. The jackfruit, which is native to Southeast Asia, parts of India, Jamaica, and South America, is fast becoming the latest popular meat substitute in vegetarian meals. From pulled “pork” sandwiches to desserts, jackfruit has proven to be a versatile(多用的) plant that both meat eaters and non-meat eaters alike can app reciate. Here’s what you need to know about this trending tropical fruit.Jackfruits pack in a lot of nutrition. They’re high in protein (with 2.8 grams per cup of sliced fruit, which is 5 percent of your daily value for protein), plus calcium, vitamins, a nd carbohydrates. They’realso rich in energy and dietary fiber, and free from saturated fats(饱和脂肪) or cholesterol(胆固醇). In some regions, jackfruits are even being used to treat conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, diarrhea, tuberculosis, fever, and liver cirrhosis.And because the fruit is so easy to grow—a jackfruit tree can produce 200 jackfruits a year—there are efforts being made right now to plant them throughout the world as a way to combat food shortages in Third World countries.At the market, you may see two seemingly different types of jackfruit, but it’s the same fruit—only one is mature and the other is young. The young jackfruit is sweet and crunchy, and the older version is usually softer and tastes less sweet.Unlike some fruits, jackfruits are entirely edible. The seeds can be boiled, roasted, or ground into flour, depending on the dish you’re making. The flesh, which looks like orange-yellow color bulbs, is what makes this fruit so versatile. It can be made into ice cream, chips, jam, soup, candy, and more. You can slice it into a fruit salad or use it in a jam or jelly.If you’re vegan, you know that it can be a challenge to get adequate protein. Consider buying jackfruits to meet your daily quota for good health.24. What makes jackfruit the latest popular meat substitute?A.Its versatility.B. Its distinctiveness.B.Its richness in fiber. D.

A Good Daily CompanionCMany of you may have used Siri, a voice assistant of US tech company Apple. You only have to say “hey Siri” and it will answer to your command. However, we may be sacrificing our privacy to enjoy this convenience.According to a recent report by the Guardian, Siri can be accidentally triggered and start recording private conversations, such as discussions between doctors and patients. Some of these recordings are then given to workers outside the company to review.Apple claimed the data was used to help Siri improve, but users were not informed of this measure in the first place.Apple’s Siri is not the only voice assistant to come under fire.In 2018, Alexa, a voice assistant developed by US tech company Amazon, recorded a private conversation between a couple and sent it to a stranger without their permission.These issues deepened concerns that tech companies are infringing users’ rights of privacy.Many people have long feared that tech companies are listening and collecting data from private conversations, reported Forbes. Using this data, third party companies could then paint an accurate picture of users’ habits and preferences in order to serve them more targeted advertisements, or even worse, sell this private data.Despite this risk, the popularity of voice assistant seems to be unstoppable.“In the near future, everything from your lighting to your air-conditioning to your refrigerator, your coffee maker, and even your toilet could be wired to a system controlled b y voice,” commented The Atlantic.Colin Horgan wrote on the blog site Medium that he believed people’s daily lives will soon become a source of data.“The sounds of our homes, the symphony of life – laughing, crying, talking, shouting, sitting in silence –will no longer be considered memories, but data,” he wrote.To deal with the issue, Blake Morgan, reporter for The Atlantic, believed that the answer is transparency.“All companies need to have messaging ready to explain to customers what they do with private data,” she wrote on The Atlantic.27.
