Music lovers B Our class teacher was on leave. He taught us Maths. I being the monitor of the class went to see the headmaster asking for some teacher to our class. The headmaster told me that many teachers were on leave on that day so it was not possible for him to send any teacher to our class. He asked me instead to keep the class busy and do some teaching. It was the order of the headmaster and I had to take the “job”. Our class is considered to be the best class in the school. Many a time we have won the flags of cleanliness, discipline ( 秩 序 ), studies and sports. The students are very much well-behaved. It was these advantages of the class that gave me some confidence to face my classmates as a teacher though I was one of them. I decided to do with the homework assigned by the teacher the day before. I asked the students to show me their homework. They readily showed me their notebooks. I marked one sign on them for checking. After checking all of the homework I found that many students had not done the complete homework. They had found some questions difficult and had been unable to solve them. I took up those difficult questions one by one. I had done all the questions and knew them well. I solved them on the blackboard for those who had not been able to do them. The class was very much cooperative and they were very happy. They asked me to give them more questions to solve for the next day. I gave them five more sums of the same exercise as homework. The period came to an end. I was happy that I had successfully managed the class without my teacher. I guess that day was the best day of my life… 24. Why did the headmaster ask the writer to manage the class？ A. Because many teachers left the school. B. Because many teachers were on leave. C. Because the writer wanted to teach others. D. Because the writer was asked to do that. 25. What does the writer think of his “job”? A. Busy. B. Noisy. C. Successful. D. Difficult. 26. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. The writer’s opinions of being a class monitor. B. The writer’s opinions of being a class teacher. C. The writer’s experiences of being a class monitor. D. The writer’s experiences of being a class teacher. C With people in the whole world suffering from the COVID-19 breakout, immunity (免疫 力) draws everyone’s attention. Immunity helps animals fight against harmful things. When cells and organs in the body work together to offer immunity, they form the immune system. To an animal’s body, the immune system is just like the army to a country. All animals have an immune system that fits their living environment. However, different animals have different immune systems that offer different levels of immunity. Some animals have a more developed immune system than others. A research about bats shows that they carry more than 60 viruses ( 病毒) within their bodies, including the world’s deadliest viruses such as Ebola and SARS. But they don’t show any signs of disease. Why? According to the researchers, when bats fly, their body temperature can reach as high as 40℃. This kills most of the viruses, keeping the bats safe from infection (感染). At the same time, bats have very special immune systems, which allow them to live with many viruses and do better in fighting them. This means if the same virus infects a bat and a human, a human will likely catch a disease, while a bat can remain uninfected and perfectly healthy. Besides bats, other wild animals like snakes also have their own immune systems to protect themselves from infection. Another interesting study reported that the crocodile serum (血清) had stronger effects in fighting against deadly viruses than human serum. This shows that the immunity of a crocodile protects them more, as compared to a human. Scientists are now studying with all their effort to find new ways to fight against different kinds of viruses. In conclusion, some animals do have a more developed immune system than others. This is because each kind of animal faces different challenges in their life, which causes their immune systems to fit in different conditions and keep living in very specific ways that are best for their life. 27. From the research about bats, we know that ______________. A. bats carry lots of deadliest viruses and show many signs of disease B. bats can remain uninfected by the same virus which infected a human C. bats’ special immune systems allow them to produce more viruses D. bats’ low body temperature kills the viruses and keeps them safe 28. What can we learn from the passage? A. Immunity can help humans fight against most viruses in nature. B. More developed immune systems offer similar levels of immunity. C. Different challenges cause the animal immune systems to differ for living. D. The immunity of a crocodile is much better than that of humans and bats. 29. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Are some animals having a more developed immune system? B. Are some animals facing more challenges in immunity? C. Can some animals produce most of the viruses themselves? D. Can some animals take away the viruses while travelling? D From driver-less cars to voice control in homes, AI (人工智能) has developed so fast. “AI is going to change the world more than anything in the history of mankind. More than electricity.” said AI expert Dr. Kai-Fu Lee. That’s true. According to a research by scientists at the University of Oxford, AI will be better than humans at translating languages by 2024, writing school essays by 2026, selling things by 2031, writing a bestselling book by 2049, and treating diseases by 2053. In the next few years, AI will become an important part in our lives. These are just a few examples of how AI will change the future. But wait, what about jobs? Will they steal our jobs in the future? “AI will take our jobs!” is the most common fear. In fact, with AI automating (自动操作) all kinds of work, we can think of a more comfortable future for ourselves with millions of new job chances. According to a report on the Future of Jobs by World Economic Forum, AI will create 58 million new AI jobs by 2022. There is an excellent chance that AI will replace humans in most of the mental tasks by 2030. However, that does not mean it will take away jobs. Taking India as an example, the Indian AI industry doubled in size in 2019 compared to the year before. In just one year, three times more companies are working on AI-based projects and this is likely to continue. India almost doubled its AI engineers in 2019 (from 40,000 in 2018 to 72,000 in 2019) but still faces a talent shortage. Top technology companies are in a race to implement AI in our day to day lives – which will lead us to a really exciting AI future. AI Future is coming – coming soon! And there will be more new jobs in the AI industry. Do you want to be a part of this fourth industrial revolution (革命)? Will you upgrade your skills to stay ahead or will you remain still and slow in the industry? The choice remains with you. With the process of education and training, now is the time to prepare for the age of AI. 30. According to the passage, Dr. Kai-Fu Lee thinks that AI will ___________. A. change a lot more than electricity B. change anything in the human history C. change the world more than electricity D. change the long history of electricity 31. What might be included in the report of the Future of Jobs by World Economic Forum? A. Explanations about job chances. B. Explanations about job shortage. C. Job races in many large companies. D. Job races in some big countries. 32. The word “implement” in Paragraph 3 probably means “__________”. A. search B. control C. compare D. realize 33. The writer probably agrees that _________. A. many people want to upgrade skills to protect AI B. most people remain still and slow in the AI industry C. the fourth industrial revolution is a part of AI Future D. AI will create more new jobs instead of stealing them 答案： 21-23 ABD 24-26 BCD 27-29 BCA 30-33 CADD 2020 年北京市昌平区九年级中考二模英语试题 据短文内容, 从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中, 选择最佳选项。 A Do you want to study at a foreign university?

C B Ryan Hrejac is a kid who is 15 and lives in Canada. Without his help, hundreds of wells that now provide fresh water for people in Africa, Central America, and India might never have been built. He travels the world to tell people how they can help solve a big problem: the need of safe drinking water in many developing countries. “Everybody can do something,” Ryan says. Ryan's efforts didn't begin in a far-off place, though, but right at home in Kemptvlle, Ontario. In 1998, when he was 6 years old, Ryan learned from his teacher that children in Africa often must walk miles each day to find water. His teacher said that some of the children even died from drinking bad water. So Ryan decided to take action. He did housework for his parents and for neighbors to make some money. He spoke to schools, churches, clubs about his idea. The word spread, and donations （捐献）began coming in. After several months of hard work, Ryan had raised $2, 000, enough to dig one well. An organization called Canadian Physicians for Aid and Relief（CPAR）chose a place for the well in the village of Agweo, in Uganda, eastern Africa. After the first well was built, “the ripple effect took over,” Ryan said, “and one goal led to another.” He founded Ryan's Well Foundation（基金会）four years ago to educate people about the importance of water and help more people get clean water with others' help. Now the foundation has raised more than $1.5 million and built 255 wells that could serve more than 427,000 people in 12 countries. Its website lists some of the famous people Ryan has met and the honors he has received. Ryan isn't bragging（吹噓）. “The best people I've met are the other kids who want to help, too.” he said. “The only reason I accept honors is that each word I say when I get one might help one more person.” 24. What problem does Ryan want to solve? A. The poor condition of schools. B. The influence of war on children. C. The illness caused by pollution. D. The need of safe drinking water. 25. Ryan himself raised money by ________. A. starting a website to get donations B. creating an educational organization C. doing housework and introducing his idea D. travelling to a village across the world 26. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. An Organization of Saving Water B. A Goal to Help African People C. A Boy Who Makes a Difference D. A Well That Brought People Together 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. C C We have recently heard some interesting ways that 5G technology might change our lives in the future. 5G promises internet speeds between 50 to 100 times faster than the present 4G systems. The technology is also built to deal with many more users without slowing services down. Such improvements are sure to be popular for 5G users worldwide. While 5G is set to start in some limited areas of the United States this year, much of the rest of the world is not expected to receive such service widely until 2023. One project called 5G Rural First in Britain, though, is already testing this superfast technology, but not on humans. Instead, the experiment involves an unlikely group of internet users-cows. The system connects the animals to 5G in an effort to automate（自动化）the milking process. Testing areas are set up at farms in three countries of England. The cows are fitted with 5G devices（装置）that connect to a robotic milking system. The system uses sensors（传感器）and machine learning to fully automate the process. System designers say technology takes over after a cow feels ready to be milked and walks toward an automatic gate. The device is designed to recognize each cow. It then sets machine to the right height for milking. During the process, machines give food to the cow in return. In one of the test areas, about 50 of the farm's 180 cows are fitted with 5G smart devices and health-watching sensors. Project officials say the devices do not harm the cows and the sensors allow farmers to immediately discover any problems such as health problems. Other technology tools powering the 5G smart farms include automated brushes that turn on when the cow touches them. Sensors also control the supply of light in the cows' living areas depending on the weather. And an automatic feeding system makes sure the animals always get enough to eat. Nick Chrissos works on the project. He said the system can connect every cow, and every other animal on the whole farm. “That's what 5G can do for farming—really free the power that we have within this farm, everywhere around the United Kingdom, and everywhere around the world.” 27. What's Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. How the system automates the milking process. B. How the technology knows when to milk cows. C. How the designers connect 5G devices to cows. D. How the testing areas were set up in the countries. 28. According to the passage, 5G smart farms _________. A. effect huge changes on the animals B. improve the cow operations in many ways C. make the internet speed slow down greatly D. test the technology on both cows and people 29. What's Nick Chrissos' attitude towards the 5G technology? A. Worried. B. Hopeful. C. Surprised. D. Doubtful. 【答案】27. A 28. B 29. B D Have you ever gone to a fast-food restaurant to eat and gotten a kid's meal that came with a toy? Sometimes those meals have different toys for boys and girls —maybe a truck for the boys and a toy bear for the girls. Who decides that boys like to play with trucks and girls like to play with stuffed animals? I know many boys who like stuffed animals and lots of girls who play with trucks. When we decide what someone will like or how they will act just because they are boys or girls, we are stereotyping（形成模式化观念）. A stereotype is a group that we put people into. Our human brains do this all the time; it's one of the ways that our brain has learned to deal with the world. We see someone and put that person into a group—for example, the old or the young, a boy or a girl. Is that a bad thing? No, it's not. One advantage of a stereotype is that it enables us to deal with situations rapidly because we may have had a similar experience before. The use of stereotypes is a major way in which we simplify our social world; since they cut down the amount of processing（i.e. thinking）we have to do when we meet a new person. Although grouping itself isn't bad, it can be harmful sometimes. It makes us ignore differences between each single person, that is, we usually think all the people in one group are the same but that might not be true. When we stereotype, we think of a group and give everyone in that group certain characteristics. For example, the fast food restaurant believed that all boys like to play with vehicles and all girls prefer toy animals. They did that based only on whether they were boys or girls. Stereotypes are problems when beliefs that people have about groups are not necessarily true. Have you ever heard anyone say that "Men are better drivers than women"? Statements like this take a group of people and give all of them the same behaviors or characteristics. I know men who are good drivers, and I know women who are good drivers. It's not fair to judge all people in a group by a stereotype. We need to remember that everyone in the group is an individual who has different abilities, interests, strengths and behaviors. 30. The example of different toys for boys and girls is mentioned to show that_________. A. boys and girls prefer different toys B. boys and girls are treated unfairly C. people sometimes mix children's likes D. people have fixed ideas on things 31. Which of the following stereotypes is useful? A. Making friends by his appearance. B. Boys do better in science than girls. C. Youth easily do unreasonable things. D. Red signs on the road warn us of danger. 32. The underlined word “ignore” in Paragraph 4 probably means _________. A. fail to notice B. fail to trustC. fail to search D. fail to face 33. What does the writer want to tell us about stereotyping? A. Stereotyping is like a coin which has two sides. B. It helps our brain learn to deal with similar situations. C. Judging people by stereotyping them makes things hard. D. Trying to learn about and form some kinds of them stereotypes. 答案： 30. D 31. D 32. A 33.

Dad looked up from his coffee cup and smiled. “Sounds interesting.” “Dad, I’m building a time capsule – it’s like a memory box. I watched my teacher dig one up from our school yard yesterday. Some students buried(埋) the capsule thirty years ago. It had a lot of old things in it, so we could see what life was like back then.” After breakfast, Anna looked around in the garden and found an old coffee can. What should she put in the can? With her cat Kitty following close behind, Anna looked through her things. She grabbed her favorite book, her yo-yo and some photos. She put them in the can. She pulled off her watch and placed it in the can too. “What else should I put into it?” she asked Kitty. “Meow.” Kitty pushed a ball toward th e can. “Sure, Kitty, I’ll include your ball.” Anna put Kitty’s ball in the can. Anna put the top on and closed the can. On the front, she wrote ANNA AND KITTY’S TIME CAPSULE and then buried it in the garden. “All done,” she told Kitty. After a few minutes, Anna sighed. What should she do next? She couldn’t yo-yo. Or read her favorite book. She’d buried those. Now, she missed them. “Meow.” Kitty looked at her. “Do you miss your ball?” Anna asked. “Don’t worry. I’ll get it for you.” So Anna dug up their time capsule. Kitty pounced on the ball. And Anna pulled on her watch and read her book while yo-yoing under a tree in the garden. 24. When did Anna begin to build a time capsule? A. In the morning. B. At noon. C. In the afternoon. D. In the evening. 25. What did Anna put into a time capsule? A. A yo-yo, photos and her skirt. B. A book, a watch and her dress. C. A book, a watch and the cat’s ball. D. A yo-yo, photos and the cat’s bell. 26. At last, Anna dug up the can because __________. A. her cat lost its ball B. her cat needed a can C. she had nothing to do D. she would put more into it C The biggest influence that technology has on family time is the change of it. People used to spend more time with their family members before. Nowadays, with children (and the parents, too) spending more time texting, watching movies and television, playing video games, and listening to music, when will the family find time to bond (培养感情) and create lasting memories together? Far too often we don’t pay more attention to making time for members of our own family. By the end of a long day at work or school, members of the family want to relax. And now that technology use is widespread across the country, normally our “relaxing” is also known as spending time on smart phones. Not only is the amount of family time affected (影响) by technology, but also the quality. Technology can affect the quality in different ways. For example, family members can be distracted (使分心) by their phones while trying to play a board game together, which wouldn't have happened if the phone didn’t exist in the first place. If “family time” means everyone sitting in the same room while playing online, what value is there? Personal interaction is key to time well spent with loved ones. Families don’t even need to have something to do while together. If they simply ask each other how their day is and play a simple game together, family bonds will get better. When technology becomes a focus, quality(有质量的) time for families goes down, which in turn affects everyone’s life. Lack of family interaction causes the family’s unity to weaken, and each of the family will be influenced in different ways. Children are more likely to develop unhealthy habits when they fail to interact with their parents. Meanwhile, parents who put work before family or pay less attention to their children’s growth are more likely to face bad parent-child relationship. 67 percent of American teens say they want to spend more time with their parents, which is rather sad. Therefore, this passage is meant to show how technology has negatively influenced families. 27. According to Paragraph 3, we can know that technology__________. A. makes us put work before family B. affects the quality of family time C. brings us convenience and happiness D. affects the family time in the same way 28. What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Simple games are helpful for family bonds. B. Families don’t need to do anything together. C. Personal interaction is important for family time. D. Staying in the same room is necessary for family. 29. What’s the writer’s attitude towards the technology influence? A. Puzzled. B. Worried. C. Surprised. D. Satisfied. D When I was in school, our classes were always divided into smaller groups for reading guidance. These reading groups were named after animals. The high-achieving readers were known as the birds, and the kids with the most difficulty were the mice. I was a bird, and my best friend Bobby was a mouse. I can still remember how uncomfortable it was to hear Bobby read sentences out and he could only read several words in the sentence. This is how we usually think of a reading “problem” — the inability to decode symbols(解码) and change them into spoken language. Kids with this problem are hard to miss. But there may be many other kids in the classroom who are also poor readers, but in a very different way that’s often invisible. These kids read correctly and fluently from the page — they might even be birds — but they don’t understand most words from their mouths. Charles Hulme and his team of York University have been exploring this hidden reading problem, and they’ve come to believe that it may be at its heart a spoken language problem. In one study, they found 8- and 9-year-old children who had reading comprehension(理解) problems. Then, some got help in reading and understanding written text, and others got only help with spoken language and still others got a mix of both. They all got 90 minutes of help every week for 20 weeks, after which their skills were tested. They were also tested again almost a year later, to see if any improvements existed. All three groups showed improvements in comprehension soon after the training, but those trained only in spoken language showed great improvements into the following year — much more than the others. What’s more, the improvements from the spoken language training and the less improvements from a combined ( 融 合 的 ) way appeared to come from improvements in vocabulary. In other words, the spoken language training seems to have resulted in a generalized improvement in the kids’ ability to understand language. Reading comprehension is important for success in life, more than ever in history. Reading difficulties create educational difficulties, which in turn lead to social and economic disadvantage, including joblessness. Kids won’t be asked to read out loud in the real world, but they will be expected to know what they’ve read. 30. __________ are called “mice" in the writer’s class. A. Students who like animals B. Students who have good scores C. Students who are in small groups D. Students who do worst in reading 31. What does the underlined word “invisible” probably mean? A. Cannot be tried. B. Cannot be seen. C. Cannot be hidden. D. Cannot be taught. 32. What does the result of Charles Hulme’s research tell us? A. Scientists should observe long-term influence. B. A hidden reading disability have been explored. C. Reading difficulties create educa tional difficulties. D. Speaking training improves comprehensive ability. 33. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Is language training meaningful? B. Is language training easy or not? C. Is reading comprehension a hard problem? D. Is reading comprehension a hidden disability?[] 答案： 21-23：ABB 24-26：ACC 27-29：BCB 30-33：DBDD
