As a student, I was most afraid to answer questions in class, and I found that the students around were just like me. At the beginning of each class, when the teacher asked a question, I always lowered my head because I was afraid that the teacher would see me.
One day, in a foreign language class, Mr. Black gave us a lesson. He wanted us to be active in class, so he asked us some questions, but no one answered. “Let me tell you a story first,” he said. “When I came to the United States to study, the university often invited famous people to make speeches. Before the beginning of every speech, I found an interesting thing. The students around me always took a card folded（折叠的）in half, wrote their names in bold（粗体）with the most eye-catching color, and then placed the cardboard on the seat. So when the speaker needed the answers from the students, he could see and call a listener’s name directly.”
“I couldn’t understand that. My classmate told me the speakers were all top people, who meant chances. When your answer was to his surprise, it meant he might give you more chances. In fact, I really saw a few students got great chances because of that.”
After listening to the story, I understood that the chance will not find you itself. You must show yourself all the time so that you can find a chance on the card.

The sun shone straight down the street and in a few minutes Mr. Read felt hot.
A small boy came out of another shop in the street and followed Mr. Read. He stayed very near him all the time, and he stepped on Mr. Read’s shoes several times. Mr. Read looked at him angrily each time.
After the fourth time, Mr. Read stopped, turned round and said to the boy, “What are you doing Stop following me like that! You’re going to hurt my feet.”

Modesty (谦逊) is a valuable quality in many cultures around the world. In China, this is no different. However, the phrase “毛遂自荐” seems to disagree with this.
During the Warring States Period, the Qin army marched on Handan. Seeing that Handan was in danger, Prince Pingyuan looked for help from the state of Chu. He wanted to pick 20 talented people to go with him. However, he could only find 19 people who were good enough. Then, a man named Mao Sui volunteered. Prince Pingyuan looked at Mao Sui with doubt, “How long have you been here with me ”
“Three years,” Mao Sui answered.
“I hear that a person with talent is like an awl (锥子) in a cloth bag. Its sharp point will soon pierce through the bag. You’ve been here for a long time, but I haven’t seen any of your achievements. Maybe you don’t have any talent.” said Prince Pingyuan.
“What I’m asking you now is to put me into that bag. If you do that, I will pierce through it. But not only the point-the whole awl,” Mao Sui said confidently.
Impressed, Prince Pingyuan allowed Mao to join his team, and Mao proved very helpful. Now the phrase “Mao Sui recommending himself” is used to describe someone who volunteers to do a task.
However, there is a fine line between self-confidence and arrogance (傲慢). It’s important to believe in yourself, but a strong ego (自负) can harm your career and professional relationships. So we recommend letting your work speak for itself.
1. According to this passage, what does the phrase “毛遂自荐” mean
A. Showing modesty. B. Feeling unconfident.
C. Being honest enough. D. Volunteering for a task.
2. The underline words “do that” in Paragraph 5 refers to ________.
A. put an awl into a bag B. put Mao Sui into a bag
C. let Mao Sui join the team D. let Mao Sui leave Prince Pingyuan
3. What can we learn from the passage
A. Modesty isn’t a valuable quality. B. Mao Sui was a modest person.
C. Prince Pingyuan didn’t like Mao Sui. D. We should believe in ourselves.
【答案】1. D 2. C 3. D
【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了“毛遂自荐”这个成语故事。
1词义猜测题。根据“Now the phrase “Mao Sui recommending himself” is used to describe someone who volunteers to do a task.”可知，“毛遂自荐”指的是自愿去完成一项任务的人。D选项Volunteering for a task.“自愿接受任务”符合题意，故选D。
2词义猜测题。根据“He wanted to pick 20 talented people to go with him.….Then, a man named Mao Sui volunteered.”以及“What I’m asking you now is to put me into that bag.”可知，此处“do that”指的是让毛遂加入说客的队伍。C选项let Mao Sui join the team“让毛遂加入队伍”符合题意，故选C。
3细节理解题。根据“It’s important to believe in yourself, but a strong ego (自负) can harm your career and professional relationships. So we recommend letting your work speak for itself.”及短文的介绍可知，我们应该相信自己。故选D。
D
Little birds talk with their sisters and brothers in their nest. They make a sound for food. Mum tells them to be quiet when danger comes. But now a new study finds that kind of talk begins long before the babies are born. Even in the eggs, they can talk with each other and know when to get out or when to keep waiting.
To check that finding, a team of scientists from Spain watched unborn birds carefully in Salvora Island. Over there, sea birds produce eggs and minks eat baby birds. So it is quite a dangerous place for baby birds. Knowing when to come out of the egg is a matter of life and death.
Scientists collected sea bird eggs and put them into two groups. When minks come, a parent will give warning calls to the baby birds. Scientists played those calls for one group. While the other group stayed in a safe box. They would never hear such calls.
When scientists put all the eggs together, they found something surprising: after receiving warning calls, the eggs vibrated more than the others. Those vibrations moved from one egg to another. It was just like there were ears in the eggs. It was clear that unborn birds talked with their sisters and brothers about danger.
1. This passage is mainly about ________.
A. a magic egg B. a wild animal C. a new study D. a huge box
2. Scientists watched unborn birds in Salvora Island because they wanted to ________.
A. check when birds begin talking B. protect the sea birds in danger
C. take photos of beautiful sea birds D. know when birds get out of eggs
3. How did scientists do their research
①collected bird eggs ②played warning calls ③put eggs together ④put eggs in group
A. ①→②→③→④ B. ①→④→②→③
C. ②→①→④→③ D. ②→①→③→④
4. What’s the best title for the passage
A. Birds in Danger B. Love from Eggs
C. Nature for Birds D. Talk in the Eggs
【答案】1. C 2. A 3. B 4. D
【解析】文章讲述了科学家们对未出生的小鸟是否能够在蛋里交谈做了一个实验，并展示了实验结果。
1主旨大意题。根据“But now a new study finds that kind of talk begins long before the babies are born.”以及“To check that finding, a team of scientists from Spain watched unborn birds carefully in Salvora Island”及后文的介绍了可知，文章是关于一项新的研究的，故选C。
2细节理解题。根据“Even in the eggs, they can talk with each other and know when to get out or when to keep waiting. To check that finding, a team of scientists from Spain watched unborn birds carefully in Salvora Island.”可知，为了验证鸟儿们在未出生之前也可以互相交谈，知道什么时候出去，什么时候继续等待，所以科学家们去观察未出生的鸟儿，故选A。
3细节理解题。根据“Scientists collected sea bird eggs and put them into two groups. When minks come, a parent will give warning calls to the baby birds. Scientists played those calls for one group. While the other group stayed in a safe box. They would never hear such calls. When scientists put all the eggs together, they found something surprising: after receiving warning calls”可知，科学家们的实验过程是：收集鸟蛋——把蛋分组——扮演警告声——再把鸟蛋放在一起；故选B。
4最佳标题题。通读全文可知，文章主要是介绍小鸟之间在未出生之前是如何互相交流的，故选D。

The Asian elephant is the largest animal is Asia. The elephants are usually 5 to 6 meters tall and weigh 3 to 5 tons. Yunnan is the only home for wild Asian elephants in China. The province has built 11 nature reserves and its population has risen from 170 in the 1970s to 300 today.
However, last year, 15 wild Asian elephants left their home in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province, They kept going north, walking through fields and towns. The journey damaged 561,333 square meters of crops and led to economic losses of nearly 6.8 million yuan.
People wonder why the elephants are on the move and where they are heading to. Zhang Li, a life science professor at Beijing Normal University, suggested that the elephants needmore space and food, or they are losing their home. Another idea suggests that a change in Earth’s magnetic(磁场) field has made the elephants think they should move.
The government is trying to protect the safety of both humans and the elephants. They have fed the elephants tons of food in order to guide them away from city areas. They have also watched the group’s movement, warning nearby people not to get close to the elephants. A total of 76 police cars and trucks, five diggers and nine drones(无人机) have been used to protect the animals.

【答案】1. height 2. reasons 3. safe 4. provided 5. machines
【解析】
本文介绍了亚洲象移动造成了经济损失，有教授认为大象需要更多的空间和食物，否则它们将失去家园，也有人认为是地球磁场的变化使得大象认为它们应该移动。政府也给大象喂了大量的食物，引导大象远离城市。
1根据第一段“The Asian elephant is the largest animal is Asia. The elephants are usually 5 to 6 meters tall and weigh 3 to 5 tons.”可知大象通常有5到6米高，重3到5吨。固定短语in height“高度”，故填height。
2根据第三段“People wonder why the elephants are on the move and where they are heading to”可知此处是介绍大象迁徙的一些可能的缘由。reason“原因，理由”，是可数名词，此处应用复数形式，故填reasons。
3根据最后一段“The government is trying to protect the safety of both humans and the elephants.”可知政府正在努力保护人类和大象的安全。固定短语make sb./sth.+adj.“使某人/某物……”，此处应用形容词，safe“安全的”，是形容词，故填safe。
4根据最后一段“They have fed the elephants tons of food in order to guide them away from city areas”可知为了引导大象远离城市，他们给大象喂了大量食物。换句话说就是给大象提供了足够的食物，固定短语provide sb. with sth.“提供某人某物”，动词形式需和后面几行保持一致，故填provided。
5根据最后一段“A total of 76 police cars and trucks, five diggers and nine drones(无人机) have been used to protect the animals.”可知一共有76辆警车和卡车，5台挖掘机和9架无人机被用于保护动物。所以此处是指使用很多机器，machine“机器”，是可数名词，空前有a lot of修饰，名词用复数，故填machines。

1. 在过去，过度的砍伐导致野生动物的生存空间越来越少。
Cutting down too many trees ________ for wildlife in the past.
【答案】led to less and less living space
【解析】表达“导致”用动词短语“lead to”。句子是一般过去时，动词用过去式“led”。表达“生存空间”用名词短语“living space”，是不可数名词，表达“越来越少”用比较级结构“less and less”。故填led to less and less living space。
2. 作为最重要的湿地之一，扎龙自然保护区是很多稀有鸟类的栖息地。

【答案】in order not to get lost##so as not to get lost

5. 当我得知我英语满分时，一阵喜悦掠过我的脑海中。
A ________ when I knew that I got full marks in the English test.
【答案】moment of joy went through my mind
【解析】根据“when I knew that I got full marks in the English test”可知，主句时态用一般过去时；a moment of joy“一阵喜悦”，作主语；go through“掠过”；my mind“我的脑海”；因此“moment of joy went through my mind”符合句意。故填moment of joy went through my mind。

Here are some of the changes. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Past and present
Last Friday, we had a discussion about life’s changes in the past and at present. Here are some of the changes.
In the past, we usually watched TV in our free time. We used to read books in the libraries and the bookstores. We could do only a little reading. Nowadays, most families use computers and we can read newspapers and magazines on the Internet. We can learn more knowledge by reading on the Internet.
We used to go on a trip on foot, by bike or by bus. Few people chose to travel by plane. So it often took more time to get where we wanted to go, and we had to spend more time during a trip. But at present, things have changed a lot. We can often travel by car, by underground, by train and even by plane. We can travel abroad or around the world with a passport. Traveling can make us enjoy the beauty of nature and learn about the world faster and better.
I am proud of great changes in our lives I’m so happy that I can live a good life.九年级第一学期期末模拟试卷二（无锡市）

As a student, I was most afraid to answer questions in class, and I found that the students around were just like me. At the beginning of each class, when the teacher asked a question, I always lowered my head because I was afraid that the teacher would see me.
One day, in a foreign language class, Mr. Black gave us a lesson. He wanted us to be active in class, so he asked us some questions, but no one answered. “Let me tell you a story first,” he said. “When I came to the United States to study, the university often invited famous people to make speeches. Before the beginning of every speech, I found an interesting thing. The students around me always took a card folded（折叠的）in half, wrote their names in bold（粗体）with the most eye-catching color, and then placed the cardboard on the seat. So when the speaker needed the answers from the students, he could see and call a listener’s name directly.”
“I couldn’t understand that. My classmate told me the speakers were all top people, who meant chances. When your answer was to his surprise, it meant he might give you more chances. In fact, I really saw a few students got great chances because of that.”
After listening to the story, I understood that the chance will not find you itself. You must show yourself all the time so that you can find a chance on the card.
1. What did the writer’s classmates do when they were asked questions
A. They raised their hands. B. They lowered their heads.
C. They closed their eyes. D. They shook their heads.
2. Why did Mr Black tell his students a story at the beginning of his language class
A. Because he wanted the students to be active in class.
B. Because he wanted the students to take notes carefully.
C. Because he wanted the students to do homework.
D. Because he wanted the students to be quiet in class.
3. What does the writer mainly want to tell us
A. Making others interested is difficult. B. Answering questions bravely is easy.
C. Showing yourself bravely can win chances. D. Doing as others do is necessary.

It was hot in the middle of summer and there were no trees along the street. Few people came out on such a hot day. Mr. Read had another bad day. The whole day no one had come to his small shop to buy anything. He closed his shop at half past five, and went out into the street and began walking to the bus stop. He was very fat. The sun shone straight down the street and in a few minutes Mr. Read felt hot.
A small boy came out of another shop in the street and followed Mr. Read. He stayed very near him all the time, and he stepped on Mr. Read’s shoes several times. Mr. Read looked at him angrily each time.
After the fourth time, Mr. Read stopped, turned round and said to the boy, “What are you doing Stop following me like that! You’re going to hurt my feet.”
“I’m sorry, but don’t stop me, please!” The small boy said, “It’s very hot today and there isn’t any shade anywhere else in the street.”
1. Why did no one come to buy things in Mr. Read’s shop

Modesty (谦逊) is a valuable quality in many cultures around the world. In China, this is no different. However, the phrase “毛遂自荐” seems to disagree with this.
During the Warring States Period, the Qin army marched on Handan. Seeing that Handan was in danger, Prince Pingyuan looked for help from the state of Chu. He wanted to pick 20 talented people to go with him. However, he could only find 19 people who were good enough. Then, a man named Mao Sui volunteered. Prince Pingyuan looked at Mao Sui with doubt, “How long have you been here with me ”
“Three years,” Mao Sui answered.
“I hear that a person with talent is like an awl (锥子) in a cloth bag. Its sharp point will soon pierce through the bag. You’ve been here for a long time, but I haven’t seen any of your achievements. Maybe you don’t have any talent.” said Prince Pingyuan.
“What I’m asking you now is to put me into that bag. If you do that, I will pierce through it. But not only the point-the whole awl,” Mao Sui said confidently.
Impressed, Prince Pingyuan allowed Mao to join his team, and Mao proved very helpful. Now the phrase “Mao Sui recommending himself” is used to describe someone who volunteers to do a task.
However, there is a fine line between self-confidence and arrogance (傲慢). It’s important to believe in yourself, but a strong ego (自负) can harm your career and professional relationships. So we recommend letting your work speak for itself.
1. According to this passage, what does the phrase “毛遂自荐” mean
A. Showing modesty. B. Feeling unconfident.
C. Being honest enough. D. Volunteering for a task.
2. The underline words “do that” in Paragraph 5 refers to ________.
A. put an awl into a bag B. put Mao Sui into a bag
C. let Mao Sui join the team D. let Mao Sui leave Prince Pingyuan
3. What can we learn from the passage
A. Modesty isn’t a valuable quality. B. Mao Sui was a modest person.
C. Prince Pingyuan didn’t like Mao Sui. D. We should believe in ourselves.
D
Little birds talk with their sisters and brothers in their nest. They make a sound for food. Mum tells them to be quiet when danger comes. But now a new study finds that kind of talk begins long before the babies are born. Even in the eggs, they can talk with each other and know when to get out or when to keep waiting.
To check that finding, a team of scientists from Spain watched unborn birds carefully in Salvora Island. Over there, sea birds produce eggs and minks eat baby birds. So it is quite a dangerous place for baby birds. Knowing when to come out of the egg is a matter of life and death.
Scientists collected sea bird eggs and put them into two groups. When minks come, a parent will give warning calls to the baby birds. Scientists played those calls for one group. While the other group stayed in a safe box. They would never hear such calls.
When scientists put all the eggs together, they found something surprising: after receiving warning calls, the eggs vibrated more than the others. Those vibrations moved from one egg to another. It was just like there were ears in the eggs. It was clear that unborn birds talked with their sisters and brothers about danger.
1. This passage is mainly about ________.
A. a magic egg B. a wild animal C. a new study D. a huge box
2. Scientists watched unborn birds in Salvora Island because they wanted to ________.
A. check when birds begin talking B. protect the sea birds in danger
C. take photos of beautiful sea birds D. know when birds get out of eggs
3. How did scientists do their research
①collected bird eggs ②played warning calls ③put eggs together ④put eggs in group
A. ①→②→③→④ B. ①→④→②→③
C. ②→①→④→③ D. ②→①→③→④
4. What’s the best title for the passage
A. Birds in Danger B. Love from Eggs
C. Nature for Birds D. Talk in the Eggs
