It means you do a helpful or kind act for someone who has done something good for you. Denson is a mechanic（机修工），but he lost his job a few months ago. He is kind and helpful, but always feared applying for a new job.‎ One day, he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview. His appointment was at 10 a.m. and it was already 8:30. While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed, he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre（轮胎）of his car. Obviously（很显然）there was something wrong with the ear. Denson immediately went up to lend him a hand. When Denson finished working on the car, the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. Denson said there was no need to pay him and he just helped someone in need, and he had to rush for an interview. Then the old man said,“Well, I could take you to the office for your interview. It’s the least I could do. Please, I insist.”Denson agreed.‎ On arrival, Denson found a long line of applicants（求职人）waiting to be interviewed. Denson still had some grease（油脂）on him after the car repair, but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt. One by one, the applicants left the interviewer’s office with disappointed looks on their faces. Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth, he asked,“Do you really need to be interviewed?”Denson’s heart sank.“With the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview?”he thought to himself. Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Denson’s surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. It turned out he was the General Manager of the company.“Sorry I had to keep you waiting, but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as a member of the company before you even stepped into the office. I just know you’d be a trustworthy（值得信赖的）worker. Congratulations!”Denson sat down and they shared a cup of coffee as he landed himself a new job.‎ ‎69.

Choose the words or expressions to complete the passage（选择最恰当的单词或词语，完成短文）（12分）‎ Most people have work to do. With work, they can earn their living. They are busy with their work all day long. Workaholism（迷恋工作）is now very common in our society. Some people no longer do their work in order to live, but they live in order to work.‎ Company staff in big cities, for example, frequently work sixty to seventy hours a week. From time to time, huge amounts of work is waiting for them to complete. Workaholism can be a serious problem, Because true workaholics（工作狂）would rather work than do anything else, and they ___75___ have no idea of how to relax, that is, they might not enjoy movies, sports, or other types of entertainment.

Many workaholics are afraid that if they don’t work hard they will lose their job or be a failure.‎ Is workaholism always dangerous? Perhaps not.

Eggplant varieties differ in s__81_, shape, color, growth habit and even maturation（成熟）time. This strangely named vegetable used to come in only one color – white. It grows in a manner much like tomatoes, hanging from the vine（藤）of a plant that grows several feet in height. It can be steamed, fried, and baked. It can be eaten by l__82__ or combined with meats and other vegetables, Eggplant was first grown in India in the 5th century BC. Its propularity soon spread to China. Finally, during the Middle Ages the vegetable made its way to Europe. At that time, eggplant was not the shiny purple vegetable most people know today. Instead, it’s like a white egg. Due to this egg-like appearance, eggplant got its name. In its early days, the vegetable was so bitter（苦的）that people often called it a“mad apple.”This nickname started because people believed its bitterness was bad for one’s health. People a___83___ thought eggplant could cause madness and cancer. In fact eggplant is so healthy that it may prevent cancer. In addition, the brain and the heart benefit from this super vegetable.

Depending on its location, eggplant may be purple, green, orange or yellow, white. And it can be as s___85___ as a tomato or as large as a cucumber. Dish varieties range from simple to complex, with all of them being delicious.‎ ‎ Today, t___86___ of people gather in Loomis‎, ‎Calif, for the annual Loomis Eggplant Festival.

Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）（12分）‎ ‎ There has been a lot of talk about Chinese bicycle-sharing recently. Shared bikes are nowadays becoming the center of attention in our Wechat friend circle. Many of our friends post photos of themselves riding bikes, especially during the weekend in natural parks, and we can see people logging in and out of shared bike apps. But are people really drawn to（被…所吸引）the idea of exercise and green transportation all of a sudden?‎ Some people have tried Mobikes lately, and they didn’t particularly like Mobikes. They think the first generation Mobikes, the ones without baskets, are designed for athletes. They are vary hard to ride, and the seat is not adjustable（可调节的）. Then, they tried the yellow OfO bikes. They are easier to ride than Mobikes, but they don’t usually have baskets, and you need to enter the password by hand, instead of scanning a QR code and having the lock open automatically like with Mobikes. ‎ We appreciate that there are shared bikes on the roads. They have saved us a lot of time during emergency situations, and on beautiful, clear days. We do enjoy riding them outside the city. But from what we’ve seen in our friend circles, people have been giving them endless praises, while we still saw some obvious flaws（缺陷）.‎ In our experience, there has never been a unanimous（一致的）decision on anything in public opinion. It makes us wonder whether these people really like riding shared bikes or are just saying this to agree with others. When we asked them individually, a friend of us, Lisa, secretly told us she tried the bikes to fit in（融入朋友圈）. She doesn’t like bikes and finds city’s roads too harsh（拥堵）for bike riding. But the only way to hang out（出去闲逛）with her friends was riding out of town together. To join in social activities, she had to pick up bike riding again. Another young man, Simon admitted that he started talking about and forwarding information（转发信息）on shared bikes to appear cool and fashionable to friends. He started paying attention when Mobikes first launched（推出）. These views will give us something new to think about when we ride bikes again.‎ ‎88. Are shared bikes very popular in our cities nowadays?‎ ‎89. You don’t have to scan a QR code when using Mobikes, do you?‎ ‎90. What do you need to do when you want to ride a OfO bike?‎ ‎91. Why did Lisa sometimes ride a shared bike?‎ ‎92. How did Simon show his coolness and fashion to his friends?‎ ‎93. Why do many people like to ride shared bikes?‎ Ⅶ. Writing（作文）（共20分）‎ ‎94.

There are many interesting color pictures to go with the texts. The passages are up to date and closely related to our everyday life, which can lead us to take an active part in class. It can practice our reading, writing, especially listening and speaking in an all-round way. However, I hope that there’ll be more interesting topics for us to discuss at the end of the texts. And I also hope to study more passages about English and American cultures. I like English songs very much, so it would be great if I can enjoy English songs on the tape going with the textbook.‎ 答案解析 ‎2017年二模宝山区中考英语质量抽查试卷・参考答案 Part1 Listening(第一部分听力)‎ I.

And one day they decided to take their holiday in Australia. Their plane arrived in Sydney at nine in the morning. They had a good rest in a hotel. The next morning they rented a car in the city and began their travel. A few hours later the sun was shining in the sky and there were no shade trees beside the road. It was so hot that they could hardly go on driving. They had to stop to look around. Mike found a river was about ha a kilometer away from them. They were both very happy and drove the car quickly. Soon they got to the river. Before they jumped into the water, Dick saw a boy playing under a big tree. He asked, Are there any sharks in the river, boy?"‎ ‎“No, there aren't,” answered the boy. So they began to swim in the river. After a while, Dick felt something hit against his leg. He told Mike about it. They were afraid and stopped swimming.

It is for children to go into the lonely place for exciting activities. Now about 1, 000 companies are allowed to take children into the great outdoors without their parents. The reason why people like “Survival Holidays" is that they think being close to nature is good for children. Many children in big cities spend all of their spare time watching TV and playing computer games. "Survival Holi- days “gives them an important change.‎ ‎ Is “Survival Holidays “a wonderful idea? Maybe it is Children need more free time to play. They need to be left on their own. Parents care too much about their children. They like to see their children being busy with activities that are controlled by adults which causes many problems. Children don't know what to do when they are in danger. Even something like crossing a small river seems to be a hard challenge. Children are not comfortable with danger.

Eggplant varieties differ in size, shape, color, growth habit and even maturation time. This strangely named vegetable used to come in only one colour---white. It grows in a manner much like tomatoes, hanging from the vine of a plant that grows several feet in height. It can be steamed, fried, and baked. It can be eaten by itself or combined with meats and others vegetables. Eggplant was first grown in India in the 5th century BC.Its popularity soon spread to China. Finally, during the Middle Ages the vegetable made its way to Europe. At that time, eggplant was not the shiny purple vegetable most people know today. Instead, it’s like a white egg. Due to this egg-like appearance, eggplant got its name. In its early days, the vegetable was so bitter that people often called it a “mad apple”. This ‎ nick name started because people believed its bitterness was bad for one’s health. People always thought eggplant could cause madness and cancer. In fact eggplant is so healthy that it may prevent cancer.In addition, the brain and the heart benefit from this super vegetable. Since it’s high in fibre, eggplant can improve digestion. Italy, Turkey, Egypt, China and Japan are the leading growers of eggplant in the world today. Depending on its location, eggplant may be purple, green, orange or yellow-white. And it can be as small as a tomato or as large as a cucumber. Dish varieties range from simple to complex, with all of them being delicious.‎ ‎ Today, thousands of people gather in Loomis‎, ‎Calif, for the annual Loomis Eggplant Festival. The main activity at the festival is eating delicious eggplant dishes. There is plenty more to do and see, though. Recipe contests, arts and crafts, performers, races and children’s activities all “egg-cite”(excite)festival-goers. Most people at the festival would agree eggplant is an “egg-cellent”(excellent)vegetable.‎ ‎ Eggplant are now available in market throughout the year,but they are their best from August to October when they are in season.‎ 答案：size; itself; always; improve; small; thousands; throughout.‎ 解析：81.此处填名词，根据常识茄子在大小，形状等方面与马铃薯家族有区别。故填size.‎ 82. 由后文or combined with meats and others vegetables可推断茄子可以单独吃，也可以和肉和其他蔬菜混合。故此处填名词性物主代词itself.‎ 83. 根据语感可知填always.表一种习惯性的想法。‎ 84. 此处填动词，由Since it’s high in fibre,eggplant can i digestion可知茄子含有丰富的纤维，所以有助于消化，故填improve.‎ 85. 此处填形容词或副词，由or as large as a cucumber可推断前一空填small.‎ 86. 此空用来修饰people,结合句意及词组thousands of 表成百的，可知此空填thousands.‎ 87. 此处填介词，根据t the year及前文可推断是茄子是一年四季都有，所以是throughout the year.‎ D.
