B. Choose the best answer and complete the passage（选择最恰当的选项完成短文）（12分）
Do you have any indoor plants in your room? Indoor plants might look as if they just sit
around not doing much, but in many ways, they are the 65 heroes of the home. Not only do
they look beautiful, but studies have shown that they can give people a sense of wellbeing(安适).
What’s more, indoor plants are easy to look after and are not very expensive.
Indoor plants also known as houseplants or pot plants, are plants that like to grow indoors.
Many of them are not ideally fit for growing outside, especially in winter. Instead, they grow better
inside, where it is 66 .
Several studies have backed this up and found that indoor plants can really lift your mood.
Will Spoelstra, a British botanist(植物学家), tells us, “There are many 67 of growing plants
indoors. I find that during the winter months, plants around the house can improve creativity and
memory.” There is also research showing that pot plants can clean the air around them by taking
in harmful gases. “Plants can 68 some harmful chemicals after the house is newly painted.
Peace lilies and ivy are among the best,” says Will.
Most indoor plants are easy to grow. You can buy them from supermarkets, garden centers or
online. Younger plants are often cheaper than grown ones, but you get to care for them as they
grow. Will suggests people read the instruction on the label or find out more about the plants before
69 . The process is part of the joy of planting. It can bring a new interest and focus into
people’s lives and help to bridge the gap between home and 70 . It can provide a sense of
relaxation, allowing people to escape from the tiredness of daily life.

‘I’m here to help you
keep fit and well.’
◆ Too busy to exercise!
My wife says I’m putting on weight and I should do more exercise (She’s super fit - she’s
just done the Marathon!), but I just don’t have time because I have a very stressful job. And I have
to t 71 a lot. For example, I once spent 80 hours in a week flying between different cities.
How can I find time to have a fitness routine? What should I do? -James
◆ I get bored doing exercise!
I do exercise - I understand how important it is, but I get so bored. I tried s 72 , but just
going up and down a pool is so boring! I tried going to the gym - but walking on the spot is so
depressing! I bought an exercise DVD, but I used it only a few times. What should I do? -Cherry
◆ I hurt my ankle so b 73 !
I’m a keen ‘keep-fitter’, but this morning when I was out running I fell and hurt my ankle. I
think it doesn’t matter, but it’s quite a serious one. What kind of exercise I should do while I’m
injured? I can’t even walk very well at the moment. -Jason
初三英语 第7页 共8页Advice from Dr Drew
◆ Dear James,
You should make exercise as part of your daily life - you shouldn’t sit at your desk all day.
Perhaps there is a gym n 74 where you work - keep some sports clothes at work and go there
for just 15 minutes during your lunch break when you can. You don’t have to exercise for a
l 75 period. Ten minutes every now and then is enough.
◆ Dear Cherry,
Oh dear! I think you should try a different kind of sports. I don’t think you should exercise
a 76 . It can help if you do it with other people - what about a sport, such as tennis, or perhaps
dancing? There are all kinds of dance classes - you’re sure to find one you like.
◆ Dear Jason,
You must see a doctor! You must find out how serious the injury is. If not, you should do
some g 77 exercise at first. Perhaps some exercise in water or yoga(瑜伽) classes are good
choices. Later, you can try strong exercise with the doctor’s guide.

D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答问题）（12分）
Alice and Jill were nine-year-old twins. Alice had brown hair and brown eyes, while Jill had blond
hair and blue eyes. Alice had a round face, while Jill had a heart-shaped face. For the longest time, the
twins were begging their mom to have a pet. Their choices for a pet were as different as they were.
This is where the problem began. Alice would say, “A dog is a better pet than a cat because
you can teach a dog many things and run in the park with him.” Jill would say, “A cat would make
the best pet because we could just sit and watch him run around in the room.” “A pet is a lot of
responsibility,” said Mom. She said the girls needed to sit down together and make a list of the
things they wanted to know about keeping each pet.
The girls agreed, and sat down that night to make their list. They were going to spend the
money they saved together to buy their pets. After school the next day, they went to Mr. Li’s Pet
Shop and asked Mr. Li to show them some dogs and cats. Mr. Li showed them a cute brown dog
and a white cat. The girls brought the list they made the night before and asked many questions.
Finally, the girls said, “Mr. Li, we know what we want to have.” “We will take the cute grey rabbit
with a pink nose!” Mr. Li was so surprised. “How did you choose a rabbit?” “We both like rabbits,
and he looks so sad, and we know he is waiting for someone to take him.”
初三英语 第8页 共8页Mr. Li got the rabbit, the cage, and some food to make sure they
had everything they would need. “Do you have a name picked out for
him?” Jill said, “We are going to call him ‘Double love’.” Mr. Li
laughed, and the girls carried Double love to his new home. After
going back home, they set up his cage in the living room, checked on
him to be sure he was happy, and played with him often. The girls’
dream of getting a pet finally came true!
78. Did Alice and Jill look the same?
