沪教版2020届九年级上学期英语期中考试试卷D卷姓名:_ 班级:_ 成绩:_一、 阅读理解。 (共4题；共41分)1. （8分） Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be. Places of business that used to keep daytime “business hours” are now open late into the night. And on the Internet, the hour of the day and the day of the week have become irrelevant. A half century ago in the United states, most people experienced strong and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work, school time and summer time. Today the dividing lines are still there, but they seem not clear.The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday; in most, it no longer does. It used to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer, in most, it still does. And whether the work week should strengthen its legal（法律的）limits, or whether it should become more changeable, is often debated（争论）. How should we, as a society, organize our time? Should we go even further in relaxing the dividing lines of time until we live in a world in which every minute is much like every other?These are not easy questions even to ask. Part of the difficulty is that we seldom recognize the “law of time” even when we meet it face to face. We know as children that we have to go to school a certain number of hours, a certain number of days, a certain number of years but unless we meet the truant officer（学监）, we may well think that we should go to school because of social custom and parents requirement rather than to the law. As adults we know “extra pay for overtime working” very well, but less familiar with the fact that what constitutes（构成）“overtime” is a matter of legal thing. When we turn the clock forward to start daylight saving time, have we ever thought to ourselves: “Here is the law in action”? As we shall see, there is a lot of law that has great influence on how organize and use time: compulsory education law, overtime law, and daylight-saving law as well as law about Sunday closing, holidays, being late to work, time zones, and so on. Once we begin to look for it, we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and assess.（1）What does the underlined word “irrelevant” probably mean?A . Impossible.B . Unacceptable.C . Unimportant.D . Disagreeable.（2）The writer raises the questions in Paragraph 2 to introduce the fact that people _.A . are unknowing of the law of timeB . fail to make full use of their timeC . welcome changeable working hoursD . enjoy working overtime for more pay（3）We can learn from the passage that most children go to school because they_.A . have to follow the lawB . need to find social customsC . need to learn more knowledgeD . have to follow their parents requirement（4）What is the main idea of the passage?A . Our life is governed by the law of time.B . How to use time is not worth debating.C . New ways of using time change our society.D . Our time table is decided by social customs.2. （10分）阅读下列短文, 从下面每小题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。BOur school decides to organize (筹备) an EnglishWeek to improve our English.English WeekTime25th, August31st, AugustplaceHaixiang Middle SchoolActivitiesReading EnglishTime: 8:008:40 every morning & 9:009:40 ever nightPlace: Haixiang Square All the students in the school go to the square to read English.
