A
Teenager Jake Denham was skiing ( 滑雪) with his family in the USA when he fell
over and lost one of his skis. His family didn’t know that he had a problem. They kept on
skiing. When they got to the foot of the mountain, there was no sign of Jake.
Jake couldn''t find his ski anywhere. In the end, he decided to take off his other ski
and walk down the mountain. But he couldn’t work out the right way to go.
It was now getting dark and he was a long way from any place of safety. He knew
that he might die that night in the cold temperatures. But Jake kept calm ( 镇定的). At
home, Jake watched a lot of TV programs about living in difficult situations. He
remembered the advice from these programs and knew that he should build a hole in the
snow. He made a hole and pointed it up the hill so the wind couldn’t blow into it. Outside
his hole the temperature fell to a dangerous ?15 ℃ that night, but inside it Jake was safe
from the cold.

to live my life” ，remembers Jake.

and finally he saw lights. He found a team of workers who came to save him. He was safe!
His mum was very happy when she heard the news. Amazingly, Jake didn’t even

Animals are our friends. Sometimes they make trouble, but sometimes they can help
us. And they hope to live a happy life, too. Here are two real stories from our readers.
The first story is from Ray. “My cat, Tiger, hates it when I use my iPad because it
takes my attention away from him. One year, I had a fall at home and was on the floor for
16 hours. During this time, I was unable to move and couldn’t get to the phone to call for
九年级英语试题 第 4 页 （共 12 页）
help. Tiger stayed by my side until he disappeared under my bed. “What’s he up to?” I
wondered. To my surprise, he started to push something towards me. It was my iPad,
which I didn’t realize had fallen off the bed and onto the floor. He probably didn’t know
what it was, but he knew that it made me happy. Thanks to Tiger, I was able to
communicate with my friend, Becky, who then told my doctor.”
The second story is from Colin. “Years ago, my friend Julius saved a bird—a wild
‘Mom’ cockatoo ( 鹦鹉) from the side of the road and kept it as a pet in a big cage ( 笼子).
It lost one of her wings, so she was unable to return to the wild. Soon, two wild cockatoos
came visiting and one ‘Dad’ bird wanted to find his way into the cage. The ‘Mom’
cockatoo in the cage was soon expecting. But as she couldn’t fly, the ‘Dad’ cockatoo built
a home in the tree, keeping off everyone who got close to ‘Mom’ cockatoo. ‘Baby’
cockatoo would spend his days flying off with his dad, leaving his mom behind. She would
sit and wait until they returned home each afternoon. The family stayed together
happily. ”
After reading the stories, don’t you think we should get along well with animals? No
matter they are our pets or live in the wild, they have their feelings. We should respect
every life in the world.

34. The main idea of the passage is that _______.
A. Ray, Becky and Colin are animal lovers B. we shouldn’t use iPad too much
C. we should respect every life in the world D. friends should help each other
35. In which part of a newspaper would you probably read the passage?

C
What are you holding in your hand while you are taking the examination? Right. A
pen.
九年级英语试题 第 5 页 （共 12 页）
Though it is small, the pen has changed the history, improved the trade of countries,
recorded events, carried news, and done far more work for human beings than all other
tools.
Progress without it would have been almost impossible. The invention of the wheel,
the introduction of steam engine( 蒸汽机), the use of electricity, all these have changed the
lives of millions of people, but the pen has done more. It has taken away mountains, and it
has prepared the way for all progress and development of the society.
In the past, the pen did all the work if you wanted to keep any writing for some time.
The lawyers took up their pens and wrote the law of the country from the days when
papyrus( 纸莎草纸) was first used. The most famous letters in the world were written with
a pen. It was with a pen that the greatest thinkers of all time wrote down their thoughts.
The pen is very utilitarian. We cannot sign a bill or write a letter or buy a house
without our pen. An agreement is worthless till our name is written with a pen. The
writers encourage the world with it. The students take their examinations with it as well.
Our coming into the world is recorded with a pen. Before we have been at school,
our name is written on the name list with a pen. We cannot be married till we have signed.
A pen records the important events in our life.
Let us remember that we hold in our hand the most powerful instrument which man
owns. The pen is a magic tool. Whenever you use it, enjoy it.
36. What is the writer trying to do in this passage?
A. Describe what a pen looks like. B. Introduce the history of the pen.
C. Advise people to prepare a new pen. D. Show the importance of the pen.
37. The word “mountains” in the third paragraph refers to “something to _________”.
A. explain the use of electricity B. lower the students’ scores
C. stop the social development D. change the law of the country
38. The lawyers started to write the law of the country _________.
A. before their thoughts were changed B. when papyrus was first used
C. as soon as they recorded their names D. after they took an important exam
39. The underlined word “utilitarian” in the passage means “_________”.
A. Cheap B. boring C. special D. useful
40. What is the best title for this passage?
A. A Powerful Tool B. An Important Law
C. A Valuable Record D. An Exciting Event

D
In Britain, Australia, Canada and a few other English-speaking countries, people
don’t stop celebrating when Christmas Day is over. They also celebrate the following day,
known as Boxing Day. It is a popular day for giving additional （另外的）gifts. It has been
celebrated for so long, but nobody exactly knows how it started.
Some people believe Boxing Day began in the Middle Ages. In those days: in some
special places there were special collection boxes where people threw money for the poor.
The day after Christmas the boxes were opened and the money was counted. Then
the money went to helping the poor in the area.
Others believe Boxing Day started about 300 years ago when some rich people had
Christmas feasts ( 盛宴). They offered lots of food to their guests. Because many servants
( 仆人）were needed to make and serve the food, they could not celebrate Christmas with
their families. To thank them, the rich people would put food into boxes for their servants
to take home.
Now Boxing Day has become a public holiday in some countries. Some people spend
the day boxing up old or unwanted things and donating （捐赠）them to the poor. Many
people are active in helping service organizations( 组织)like the Red Cross.
No matter how Boxing Day got its start, it''s a wonderful time to donate things or give
small gifts to people. By doing so, you can make someone''s holiday much happier.

阅读短文，根据要求 完成 下面各小题。
These days the environment of the earth is becoming worse and worse, but some
countries are not doing anything to deal with this problem. So we must try to make all
countries agree to protect the environment.
Many factories find that it is difficult and it will cost a lot of money to change their
ways of production. So they are still putting waste into the air, rivers, lakes and oceans.
They are not taking much action to stop climate( 气候) change. 83 As a result, the rivers
are becoming dirty and millions of people have no clean water to drink. The air in big
cities isn’t clean enough for people to breathe. A lot of people die because of these bad
conditions.
So we all have a duty to stop such situations from going on. It is important for us to
take more care of the earth. We must save every drop of water and produce as little waste
as we can. We must make the factories and large companies protect the environment. 84
If we fail to do so, the earth will be too dry and too dirty for people to live on. Writers of
some science fiction stories predict what will happen some day in the future. The weather
will become too hot. Forests can’t be seen any longer. Rivers and lakes will dry up. Wars
and hunger will be everywhere. At that time, most human beings will die and only a few
will move to other planets to live on. I don’t believe that is what we wish to see.
