One afternoon many years ago, I got out and had a walk in the park near my
home. Later, I sat down on a bench and 51 .
I watched a little boy, about 2 years old, running freely on the grass as his
mother watched from a short 52 . The boy would fall to the grass, get up and
5 3 looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could as if nothing happened.
When kids fall down, they don’t think of the fall as a failure. But they think of it
as a learning
54 , they try and try until they succeed. I was touched by the way he ran. Each
time he got up, he looked so 55 and natural. His only aim was to run as freely as he
could. He was just being a child - just being 56 - being fully in the moment. He
was not worrying about whether someone was watching or not. He only wanted to run and
to 57 feel the joy of running.
I learned a lot from the boy on that afternoon. I understand what kind of 58 Ishould have towards my future. And I have successfully brought that lesson with me in
my life.

VI. Reading comprehension (阅读理解): (共50分)
A. Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案): ( 12分)
I am a student living in Davis Hall, which is a dormitory (集
体宿舍) here at the New York Language college. I have been living
here for three months. During that time, I’ve noticed that the
common living areas have become extremely messy (脏乱), and the
situation has been getting worse. You can see the mess in the student
playing areas and kitchen. That’s where the students play games,
watch TV, cook and eat. Fifty students share this area. Unluckily, people have been leaving their
dirty dishes and food out in the kitchen. The food attracts insects, and the kitchen smells terrible.
In the other part of the living areas, people regularly leave papers, garbage (残剩食物) and
clothing out everywhere. Other messy areas in Davis Hall include the stairways and the halls.
People have been dumping garbage there. They have also been leaving out items like bicycles,
skates and boxes. This is extremely dangerous because people might step on them.
I have thought of three solutions to this problem. The first includes a cleaning plan. Each
week, the people on one floor of the building clean these common spaces. In turns, the people on
each floor of the building are responsible for one common area. The floor students throw out
anything that is left out at the end of the week. Another solution is to set up video cameras. People
who make a mess and are caught on camera pay a fine (罚款). For example, for every dirty dish
they leave in the sink (水池), they pay one dollar. The best solution, in my opinion, is to
encourage everyone to use common sense and clean up after themselves. We all agree that a living
community is like a home, even if it’s temporary (临时的). Let’s work together to make Davis
Hall a place we’re all proud to call “home”.
74. The writer thinks that the common living areas in Davi Hall are _______.
A) clean B) noisy C) messy D) poor
75. There are about ________ students sharing the playing area and kitchen.
A) ten B) twenty C) forty D) fifty
76. ________ would like to stay at the messy areas and at the kitchen with terrible
smells.A) Students B) Insects C) People D) Teachers
77. According to the writer’s cleaning plan, the people _______ of the building are
responsible for one common area.
A) on the first floor B) on the second floor C) on each floor
D) on all floors
78. People are asked to pay a fine if they are caught to _______.
A) leave dirty dish in the sink B) have a video camera
C) have much money D) do some cleaning here and there
79. Which of the following is NOT true?
A) The living situation in Dais Hall is getting worse and worse.
B) People regularly leave papers, garbage and boxes everywhere except the stairways.
C) The writer prefers encouraging students to clean up after themselves to the other
two solutions.
D) The writer wants everyone in the residential community to make Davis Hall a
clean home.
B. Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage（选择最恰当的单词或词语完
成短文):（12分）
My first time dancing with a boy was uncomfortable. We had to
hold hands and I had never held a boy’s hand before. Our whole class had
to perform this dance at our school show. After a few weeks of practice,
we got more comfortable with each other. He sometimes 80 my
feet a few times and he caught me when I fell! We felt so successful
when we performed the dance. All our classmates got to know each other
by working together on this task. 8 1 it was uncomfortable at the
beginning, we were all glad for this new experience in our education.
For students to learn new things, we must introduce new ways. People who are 82
high school dance classes have the fear that students are too early to learn these. However,
teachers will guide these classes to keep students focused on the 83 of working together
by learning to dance. These classes are a fun environment that is similar to real world situations
where men and women must work with each other as friends and business partners.
It is important for young students to develop friendship with others and make wise decisions
in the future. Furthermore, the 84 of dancing are better than some sports because it
teaches students to express themselves. Students become more comfortable with expressing
themselves in public. Dancing as a sport can improve body languages, which help students
become more 8 5 . They are more likely to believe in themselves. It also improves their
ability, memory and teamwork. So be prepared to turn up the music, move your feet and learn in acompletely new way!
80. A) got on B) stepped on C) depended on D) lived on
81. A) Since B) Though C) But D) Because
82. A) against B) for C) off D) with
83. A) fact B) trick C) goal D) safety
84. A) problems B) reports C) advantages D) messages
85. A) beautiful B) pleasant C) awful D) confident
C. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的
词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给):（14分）
In the Renaissance Period (文艺复兴时期) (1500-1650), people became interested in
higher education. They wanted to learn the a 86 languages such as Greek and Latin
– languages that were used in the old times, and study mathematics, science, and so on.
Many universities were set up during the 16th century.
University education was a privilege (特权) of the rich. Girls were not allowed to
attend and poor people could not a 87 to go. A
member of a wealthy family could attend university at the
age of ten. He might study at different universities and
since the teaching was all d 88 in Latin, it didn’t
matter which country he studied in. It was not unusual for
a young boy to study one year in Italy and another in
France without speaking either French or Italian.
It was p 89 in the 16th century to complete university without learning how to
read or write. Since books were handwritten, there was not enough to give o 90 to
each student. Often, only the teacher had a book. He would read to the students who
would memorize what he said. Tests were oral, not written. In fact, many students
finished school without ever writing a word!
For the not so wealthy, grammar schools were built in towns. They learned basic
grammar and mathematics, and took part in Bible study. At home, girls learned washing,
cooking, dancing, and the basics of taking care of a household. Poor children r 91
attended school.
The Renaissance was a time when learners did not simply accept what they were
told. They did scientific experiments themselves to search for a 92 to the mysteries
(神秘) of the space. Copernicus calculated that the Earth turned around the sun but was
afraid to publish his works for fear that the Church would punish (惩罚) him. Galileo
later supported this. The watch, the telescope and some others were some inventions of
this period.D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题): ( 12分)
A new TV series in England, Away from it all, has surprised everyone by becoming a huge
success with young people across the country．Its success is surprising because the series is about

personal happiness until they keep away from stressful situations completely．
And what do the scientists say? Paula Ray，a doctor of education，says that TV can bring
changes to children’s lifestyles．But she says that if a child reacts strongly，it’s likely that there
are other reasons for his change in behavior (行为)．She says that there is nothing wrong with
watching Away from it all, but suggests that parents should make sure their children know TV is
not the same as real life.

An old man walked slowly with a stick into the restaurant. His old jacket and
worn-out shoes made him stand out from the usual crowd.
A young waitress watched him moving toward a table by the window. She ran
over to him and said: “Here, sir… let me help you with that chair”. Without saying a
word, he smiled and nodded a“thank you”. She pulled the chair away from the table
and helped him sit. Then she put his stick beside the table.
“Thank you, miss,” he said, kindly.“You’re welcome, sir,” she said.
After he had finished his breakfast, the waitress brought him the change from
his bill. He left it on the table. She helped him up and walked with him to the front
door.
When she went to clean his table, she found a business card under his plate and a
note on a napkin. Under the napkin was 100 dollars for her service.
The note on the napkin read: “Dear miss, you did a good job in the restaurant. You
have found the secret of happiness. Your kindness will shine through to all those who
meet you.”

Last Summer I went to Sam’s school in Britain. It was really different from my
school in China. Girls wore grey skirts and white shirts, boys wore grey trousers, and
everyone wore the school tie. Some of Sam’s lessons were a bit strange for me. We were
reading Shakespeare in the English lesson, and there were various old-fashioned words
like “thou” and “thee” to mean “you”. In history lessons, we studied 20th Century
China. It was strange hearing English people trying to say all our Chinese names! Classes
were also a lot more relaxing and active than in China. Male teachers were called “sir”
and female teachers “miss” out of respect, but everyone shouted out and waved their
hands in lessons. It was more like a debate than a class. A bell rang at the end of each
lesson and everyone jumped up to go to the next class. At break we bought “potato
crisps” and “cakes” in the dining room. Lunch was later than in China – at one
o’clock. We had big plates of pies with peas and carrots. For dessert there was hot sweet
rice, called rice pudding, with jam in it. It was good that I’d had a huge lunch because
at Sam’s school, Monday afternoons are taken up with sports.静安区“学习效能实证研究”学习质量调研 九年级英语
