"Carrots，eggs and coffee，‎ ‎" she answered．‎ Her father told her to 38 her eyes and let her touch the carrots．She did and felt that the carrots were soft．After that he asked her to take eggs and 39 them．Then，she got boiled and hard eggs．At last，the father asked her to smell the coffee．"What's the meaning，Father?" He explained that each one had the same unlucky experience -- the boiled water，but 40 had a different reaction （反应）．The strong and hard carrots had become soft and weak after being in the boiling water．The eggs became hard after being cooked．The coffee was very special and it changed the water．"Who are you?" asked her father，‎ ‎"When calamity （厄运） knocks at your door，what's your reaction?

Water helps your body in many ways．It helps clean out your kidneys （肾）．It prepares your stomach for digestion （消化）．Water can also help your intestines （肠） work better．After drinking water，the intestine can more easily get nutrient （营养） from your food．And water helps us to go to the bathroom more easily．‎ Scientists suggest that people take in 1，600 milliliters of water each day．But don't drink all ‎ of that water in one sitting．If you do，your kidneys have to work much harder．It's better to drink some in the morning and some in the afternoon．Some people think it's better to drink between meals and not during meals．They think water makes the juice produced in our stomachs thinner．It is no good for the digestion．‎ Are you drinking enough water every day? Check the color of your urine （尿）．If it is light yellow，you are probably drinking enough．If it is dark yellow，you probably need more water．A little more water each day could make you much healthier．‎ ‎43．What could be the title for this reading?‎ A．Drink Water，Not Soft Drinks!

Does the sky sometimes seem dark to you? Are your studies sometimes not successful? Well，friend，cheer up and smile all the time．If you see the world with your warm heart，you'll find that the whole world smiles to you．While in school，sometimes you are tired of your lessons，but have you ever noticed the happy smile on your teacher's face when you did a good job?‎ One day it is fine．Just before you want to go out，it suddenly starts to rain．Maybe you would feel very sad and start complaining about the weather．But dear friends，why don't you sit down ‎ and listen to the free concert that the nature offers you? And with the timely rain，crops in the fields will grow better and better and farmers will have a good harvest．‎ Although everyone wants to succeed in what he tries to do，sometimes failures can't be avoided．I think failure is not terrible，and the terrible thing is that we are afraid of it and give up hope．When we face failure，we must be confident n ourselves，draw a useful lesson from it and try our best to finish what we have decided to do．As a popular saying goes，"Failure is the mother of success．"‎ Attitude decides everything．With an optimistic attitude life is easy and pleasant． Let's smile to whatever we meet and the whole world will smile to us．‎ ‎52．People sometimes complain_______‎ A．the sky is always dark B．their studies are successful C．they see the world with their heart D．life is tiring ‎53．According to the passage，in school，_______‎ A．the students don't like their lessons B．the teachers will be happy if the students do good jobs C．the teachers don't like their teaching D．the teachers are tired of their work ‎54．When we face failure，we_______‎ A．must be confident in ourselves B．shouldn't be afraid of it C．shouldn't give up hope D．all of the above ‎55．If there is a timely rain，_______‎ A．you want to go out B．you can listen to a concert C．crops in the fields will grow better D．farmers can't have a good harvest．‎ 第Ⅱ卷（45分）‎ 五、词汇应用（每小题1分，共12分）‎ I think life in the year 2050 will be very 1_______ （difference） from life today．Many changes 2 _______ （take） place．What will the changes be?‎ There will be more people in the world and most of them will live 3_______（long） than today．More land will be used 4 _______ （build） new towns and houses．‎ Computers 5 _______ （be） much smaller and 6_______ （use） and there will be at least ‎ one in every home． Computer science will be one of the most important 7 _______ （subject） for students at school．‎ Working conditions （条件） will be 8 _______ （improve） a lot．9_______（danger） and hard work will be done by robots．People 10 _______ （have） more time for sports and watching TV．11 _______ （travel） will become much easier because of modern transportation．People will 12 _______ （probable） go to the moon for vacation．‎ 六、阅读表达（每小题2分，共10分）‎ Little Tony likes cartoons very much．When the cartoons begin on TV，he does nothing until they are over．Sometimes he'd rather wait for a long time and go to bed late．In the morning ，his mother has to wake him up，or he will be late for school．‎ Yesterday Tony heard there would be an interesting cartoon today．This morning，as soon as he got up，he turned on the TV，but didn't receive the program．He had to have breakfast and then went to school．After school he ran home while his mother was cooking supper in the kitchen．He hurried to the sitting room and turned on the TV again，but he couldn't find the cartoon．He rushed into the kitchen and asked his mother for help．" It's only five now．" said the woman．" Your program will begin after supper．" " Well．Let's have supper right now．"‎ ‎（I）根据短文完成句子 ‎1．Tony goes to bed late sometimes，so_________‎ ‎2．Tony spends much time_________ when he's free．‎ ‎（II）写出下列句子的同义句。‎ ‎3．He rushed into the kitchen and asked his mother for help．‎ He_________ and asked his mother for help．‎ ‎4．把划线部分译成汉语。‎ ‎5．给短文拟一个英语题目。‎ 七、翻译句子（每小题2分，共8分）‎ ‎1．我将说服他把药吃下去。（persuade）‎ ‎2．他已经戒烟了。（give up）‎ ‎3．据我所知，汤姆去北京了。（as far as）‎ ‎4．大声朗读对你的英语学习有好处。（be good for）‎ 八、书面表达（15分）‎ 请以“My pleasant trip”为题，根据提示和要求写一次你记忆中愉快的旅行。‎ 提示：1．请叙述本次旅行的时间、地点、人物以及有哪些活动等；‎ ‎2．体现出是一次愉快的旅行。‎ 要求：1．词数：80词左右。‎ ‎2．文中不能出现作者本人的真实信息。‎ ‎2010-2011学年度潍坊市诸城第二学期九年级期中考试 英语试卷参考答案 一、1-5 ABCAC 6-10 AABAC 11-15 AAABC ‎1．sunny 2．--1~5"C 3．snowy 4．‎2℃‎~‎10℃‎ 5．rainy 二、16-20 BCCBB 21-25 ADDDD 26-30 DBBBD 三、31-35 ABDCC 36-40 CDACC 四、41-45 BDDBD 46-50 BCBBD 51-55 CDBDC 五、1．different 2．will take 3．longer 4．to build 5．will be 6．more useful ‎7．subjects 8．improved 9．Dangerous 10．will have 11．Traveling 12．probably 六、1．his mother has to wake him up next morning．‎ ‎2．watching cartoon program ‎3．went into/entered the kitchen in a hurry ‎4．让我们马上吃晚饭！‎ ‎5．A " cartoon" boy/A cartoon fan （答案不唯一）‎ 七、‎ ‎1．I'll persuade him to take the medicine．‎ ‎2．He has given up smoking．‎ ‎3．As far as I know，Tom has gone to Beijing．‎ ‎4．Reading aloud is good for your English study．‎ 八、‎ One day when I was in Grade 7，I went to Fuyan Hill with my fiends by hike．First we climbed the hill，then we flew kites．At noon we sat on the grass having a picnic．The weather was pretty fine that day．In the afternoon we met several soldiers who were only a little older than us．So we could play games together and they also told us interesting stories．We laughed and ‎ laughed happily．‎
