上海市九年级上学期英语期中质量检测试卷（II ）卷一、 阅读理解。 (共4题；共38分)1. （10分）阅读理解 I came to study in the United States a year ago. Yet I did not know the real American society until I was hurt in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court. After the accident, my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very thankful and decided to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was surprised. He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible(负责的) for my injury(受伤), Id have to have a good lawyer(律师). And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer. Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair(公平的) that I should pay him. But every day I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time. The final examination report only has ten lines, and it cost me $215.My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he didnt want to see me at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss him. And he made me pay him $770.Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Because of my inexperience, I told the insurance(保险) company the date I was leaving America. Knowing that, they played for timeand I left without getting a cent.（1）The authors roommate offered to help him because_. A . he felt sorry for the writerB . he thought it was a chance to make some moneyC . he knew the doctor was a very good oneD . he wanted the author to have a good lawyer（2）A good doctor is necessary for the writer to _. A . be properly treatedB . talk with the person responsible for the accidentC . recover before he leaves AmericaD . get the responsible one to pay for the writers injury（3）The word charge in the second paragraph means_. A . be responsibleB . be angryC . ask as a priceD . say something（4）Both the doctor and the lawyer in this passage are very_. A . friendlyB . selfishC . good at their workD . busy（5）What can you learn from the story? A . Going to court is something very common in America.B . One must be very careful while driving a car.C . There are more bad sides in America than good sides.D . Money is more important than other things in the US.2. （8分）阅读理解 For years, the word popular, has been demonized(妖魔化)and made the same as mini-skirt-wearing, hair-coloring cheerleader types like Regina George in Mean Girls. Today, teachers and parents inform children that being popularis irrelevant(不相干的), unnecessary and a sure shortcut to upset, misery, and death. And some people describe popular students as the ones most likely to bum out and end up as nobody, while their less well-liked counterparts enjoy a life of wealth and fame.However, the Oxford English Dictionary defines(定义)popularity as: TheState or condition of being liked, admired, or supported by many people This sounds like a lovely thing, and is not related to such behaviors as burn books” or three-way phone calls in Mean Girls.In fact, it is a truth widely acknowledged that young people who feel liked or supported are more likely to obtain impressive achievements than those who feel lonely, unvalued, and irrelevant socially.So why, then, is popularity given such a bad name? Why is this state of well-likedness so demonized?Basically, the hatred (恨) shown toward what appears to be a very pleasant thing is caused by lack of understanding. When we, as viewers, see characters such as Regina Georges on TV and in films, we recognize them to be popular. These characters, if not exactly liked, greatly admired by their peers(同伴).Our mistake comes when we try to understand their cruel and unkind actions using the deduction(推论)method.Humans are imperfect, and even the most intelligent mind is open to dishonesty through a very small slip in logic. Unfortunately, this occurs here with branding results.We first learn that a character is popular. Since this is important to the plot, it is constantly emphasized, leading it to be the most common thing in our minds when we consider the character.Later, we see that character do something unkind. The characters most noticeable characteristic (in our minds) is his/her popularity. And now the character is mean and unkind. This character is popular.Therefore, we jump to a quick conclusion (结论) that popular people are mean and unkind.Things such as improper behaviors and rumor-spreading are terrible and should always be seen in a very serious light. However, it is important to recognize that these are not the behaviors of popular people, but bullies.So, in summary, do not be afraid to be popular and have many friends. If you are kind to everyone and treat others with respect, there will be few who can criticize you, for being widely liked is not a curse but a blessing. Just remember that being popular does give you a degree of power, and with great power comes a large electricity bill!（1）The writer mentions the definition of popularity in paragraph 2 to _. A . bring up his opinionB . give an exampleC . come to a conclusionD . offer his suggestion（2）What can we learn from the passage? A . Being popular might offer a shortcut to a life of wealth.B . Students who feel supported have a better chance to achieve more.C . Popular students are usually famous but mean and unkind.D . The less well-liked people consider being popular as something bad.（3）Paragraph 4 and 5 are mainly about _. A . the importance of being admired by peersB . the ways to clear up some misunderstandingC . the advantages and disadvantages of being popularD . the reasons why people show hatred to being popular（4）The writer probably agrees that _. A . cheerleader types will surely end up as nobodyB . being popular is unnecessary for most studentsC . treating others with kindness is beneficial to popular peopleD . famous people are likely to make mistakes and be criticized3. （10分）根据短文内容的理解，选择正确答案。In many high schools, there are strict rules about using mobile phones. If your phone rings in class, for example, the teacher will be very angry.Every mobile phone has a ringtone (铃声). It tells you that someone is calling you. Now, there is a ringtone called mosquitotone (蚊子铃声). Using it, students can receive calls and text messages (短信) in class but the teacher will not realize what is happening. How?Mosquitotone has a special sound. Only children and teenagers can hear it. As we get older, we are unable to hear some sounds with high frequencies (频率). As a result, a child or teenager can hear the mosquitotone ringtone, but someone of 20 or older cant.But sometimes, people over 20 can hear the ringtone. One British students phone uses mosquitotone. In class, the students phone rang. The 22-year-old teacher looked at the student and became unhappy. I heard that. You know the rule: no mobile phone in class.Not all the students are interested in mosquitotone. Jerry Jones, a high school student of 17, says, Using mosquitotone too often is bad for our hearing. I may use it for pleasure, but not in class. Its unfair(不公平的) to the teachers!What do parents think of mosquitotone? I think it is perfect for places like movie theaters, says Connie Neeson, 44.

Cherie Blair, wife of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, said that she would prepare a packed lunch for her son if school dinners do not improve. So what do students of your age eat for lunch at school?JapanHigh schools have canteens, which serve everything from noodles to rice, but not burgers and chips. Other children bring food from home such as cold rice balls, meat or fish, pickles(泡菜) and vegetables.Students take home a menu for the coming month containing notes on nutrition value. Twice a year parents are invited to have a taste of the food. The class with the fewest leftovers(剩饭) at the end of the month receives a prize.United StatesA typical menu from a US school is made up of a hamburger with fried potatoes or roast chicken, lettuce and pickles, fruit and cookies. School lunches must also provide at least one-third of the daily dietary allowances(定量) of protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, calcium and calories.AustraliaMeat pies, sausage rolls and hot dogs are all traditional dishes in Australian school shops. But as the nation pays more attention to childrens health, healthier foods have started to find their way onto school menus.Many schools have used a traffic light system. The sale of red-labelled foods, including pastries, chocolate and soft drinks, is served only twice a week. Healthier green-labelled foods such as sushi, sandwiches, corn and watermelon, however, are available every day.In some schools, students have a choice of up to 89 foods to choose from, including popcorn and rice.South AfricaMost of South Africas schools do not serve meals at all. Classes end at 1:30 pm and students get their own lunches. Many students bring food from home, usually sandwiches.Fast food and fried food sell the best among students, which has led to a rise in obesity among children. But as more people began to realize the fact that being too fat may cause different diseases, some schools in towns have led the way towards better nutrition(营养). Now students at these schools are provided with lunches of porridge with vegetables, such as cabbages, onions, beans, carrots and tomatoes.Schools serve different foods in different _.JapanIn high schools, children can buy everything, such as noodles and rice.
