人教版2020届九年级上学期英语期中考试试卷B卷姓名:_ 班级:_ 成绩:_ 一、 阅读理解 (共4题；共38分)1. （10分）阅读理解When we think of food farming we usually think of green fields in the country, outside the city. Sam Chee works on a very different type of farm, in the center of the Canadian city of Toronto. “We grow fruit, vegetables and herbs,” says Sam. “But not many people know the farm is here. You cant see it from the street. Were on top of an office building, 50 meters above the ground.”Rooftop farming is becoming popular in cities like Toronto, New York and London. The roofs of buildings are often just wasted space, but this space can be used for growing good fresh food, right in the middle of the city. Sam explains how it works. “We grow everything in big boxesthere are hundreds of them. We catch rainwater to water the plants when the weather is dry.”The rooftop farm where Sam works belongs to a restaurant called Green Garden, on the ground floor of the building. The farm produces about half the restaurants fruit and vegetables. Sam believes that the rooftop farm is what makes Green Garden special. “We help to keep food production local. We dont need to transport this food from anywhere and that saves energy. Its better for the environment.”The food from the rooftop is fresher too. “When the fruit and vegetables are ripe we can pick them and use them right away. They taste better when theyre really fresh,” says Sam. “I hope that there will be more rooftop farms in the city soon. It could be the farming of the future.” （1）Green Gardens rooftop farm is .

To pollute means to make things unfit or unclean to use. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, taste it and drink it. Pollution is beginning to threaten (威胁) our health, our happiness and our life. Man has been polluting the earth from the time he first made fire, washed his clothes in the river and threw his waste on the ground. When land was used up or water became dirty, men moved on to another place. At first, the problem was not so serious because there was plenty of clean air, land and water. There werent so many people then and their wants were fewer. All the dirty things could be absorbed (吸收) by nature and soon covered over. But this is no longer true. The increase of population and the development of industry(工业)have changed that. Man is slowly poisoning (毒害) his environment. Through the use of poison, man has polluted the land, killing the animals. By putting dirty water and chemicals into rivers and lakes we have polluted our drinking water, killing the fish.Our increasing population is part of the problem. More people, more waste.Where is this all to end? Are we turning the world into a big rubbish dump (堆存处), or is there any hope that we can get rid of (摆脱, 除去) the pollution? Luckily, millions of people have been warned of the danger of pollution. Large numbers of people are now working hard to bring pollution under control.（1）Which of the following sentences is NOT true according to the passage?A . We live on the earth, so we should look after it.B . To pollute means to make air, water and land unfit for use.C . All the waste produced by modern industry can be absorbed.D . Man is now fighting against different kinds of pollution.（2）In this passage the word chemicals means _.A . 化学B . 化学物质C . 化学的D . 医学的（3）Through the uncontrolled use of poison man has _.A . made the drinking water dirtyB . polluted the landC . killed the animalsD . all of the above（4）From the sentences More people, more waste, we know that _.A . because of the increase of population and the development of industry, more and more waste is producedB . we need more people, not more wasteC . there isnt any hope that we can get rid of the pollutionD . more people have been warned of the danger of more waste二、 单词拼写，根据句意完成已给出首字母或汉语提示的单词，使补全的 (共8题；共21分)5. （10分）根据短文内容及首字母提示补全单词。Learning English is not an easy job.
