When he left, the waiter put a piece of paper on the wall saying “A Cup of Coffee”. While we were still there, two other men entered and 19 three cups of coffee, two on the table and one on the wall. They had two but paid for 20 . This time also, the waiter did the same thing. It was 21 unusual for us. After a few days, we had a chance to enter this coffee shop again. While we were enjoying our coffee, a man 22 appeared homeless entered. He looked at the wall and said, “One cup of coffee from the wall.” The waiter served a cup of coffee to this man with 23 .

However, there were some crazy inventors who had invented the weirdies（t 最古怪的）things which our older generations really used. Dimple（酒窝）maker In the 1930s, some inventors created a machine which would make dimples in people’s cheeks. This machine worked by pushing two objects into the cheeks. Although its inventors said that it would really create dimples in the cheeks, many people found this machine ridiculous（荒谬的）. Bed piano When you are seriously ill, you may find yourself unable to get out of your bed. The bed piano, which was invented in 1935, is the very thing you need to kill time if you are a music lover. It allows you to play the piano while you are lying in bed. The family bike The family bike, known as Goofybike, was invented in 1939. It was designed to carry a family of four. This two-story bike was even equipped（配备）with a sewing machine（缝纫机）for the mother. The father could ride at the top of the bike and control it with a big steeling wheel. One of the children could sit at the back of the bike to ride, while the other sat in the front of the bike and enjoyed the scenery along the way. 1.How many people rode the family bike while riding? A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four. 2.What is the passage mainly about? A. Some strange inventions. B. Some great inventors. C. Some crazy inventors. D. Some new inventions. 3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A.Many people found the dimple maker very useful. B.You can play the bed piano while you are lying in bed. C.The Goofybike was designed to carry a family of three. D.The child at the back of the bike controlled the bike alone. 九年级英语第 5 页（共 8 页） B Lots of people say, “Not a day goes by when we don’t use the World Wide Web.” But what many people don’t know is that the Web was first created to improve communication between thousands of scientists in Switzerland. In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee was a 34-year-old British physicist working as a software engineer at CERN in Switzerland. Since CERN was a huge organization with thousands of scientists, communication between them was difficult. Berners-Lee wanted to develop a system（系统）for scientists to share information in an easy way. In his paper, he suggested an information system where a page on one computer was connected to another page on another computer through the Internet. It could allow scientists to read lots of information quickly. However, Berners-Lee’s boss rejected the request because it was exciting but not clear. Although there were many difficulties, Berners-Lee went on developing the World Wide Web. In December 1990, the World Wide Web was created. Then one year later, the WWW project was made public. Berners-Lee expected that the Web could be used for more than scientific purpose（s 目 的）. He wanted it to be easily used by all the people for free. Today you can see that when you get on Internet, most of the websites you visit start with “www”. Now it is quite a necessary part of our society. Maybe even Berners-Lee hasn’t imagined the fast development and great influence of the World Wide Web. 1.Which is the correct order of the following events? a. The WWW project was made public. b. The boss rejected Berners-Lee’s request. c. Berners-Lee wanted the website to be easily used by all the people for free. d. Berners-Lee worked as a software engineer at CERN in Switzerland. A. c-b-a-d B. d-a-b-c C. d-b-a-c D. a-c-d-b 2.What does the underlined word “rejected” mean? A.Refused. B. Accepted. C. Agreed. D. Punished 3.Which of the following pictures shows the relationship between the Internet and the World Wide Web? 4.From the passage, we can know . A.Tim Berners-Lee is 54 years old now B.Tim Berners-Lee worked in the UK at the age of 34 C.visiting the websites that start with “www” is always expensive D.the World Wide Web develops fast and has a great influence on our society 九年级英语第 6 页（共 8 页） C The Roman poet Virgil says, “The god delights in an odd number.” In Shakespeare’s play, Falstaff says, “There is magic in odd numbers, either in birth, chance, or death.” Pythagoras calls three the perfect number, since everything has three parts — beginning, middle and end. In the Bible, the baby Jesus was visited by the three magi. When things are difficult, people always think they will be successful the third time. Seven is used frequently in the Bible as completeness. God created the world in six days, and had a rest on the seventh, meaning his job had been done. In this way he set the seven-day week. As for nine, there were nine muses, nine rivers of hell and nine classes of angels. In English idioms, nine is used to mean “a large number of”. For example, a cat can survive where other animals hardly can, so people often say, . However, number thirteen is not as lucky as others. According to the story of “The last supper”: Judas, the person who betrayed（背叛）Jesus, sat in the No.13 chair, therefore, number thirteen is considered to be unlucky. No door’s number is thirteen; no hotel has the No.13 Room; they don’t allow 13 people to have dinner together. Therefore, thirteen became a taboo word in western countries. No doubt the odd numbers 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 play a far more important part than the even numbers in western countries, whether lucky or not. It is really hard to imagine a Chinese who has a poor knowledge of numbers can communicate with the natives well. 1.Why does Pythagoras call three the perfect number? A.Because the world was under the rule of three gods. B.Because people will be successful after three times. C.Because the baby Jesus was visited by the three magi. D.Because everything is supposed to have three parts. 2.Which proverb can be filled in the blank of Paragraph 2? A.Cats hide their claws B. A gloved cat catches no mice C. A cat has nine lives D. All cats are grey in the dark 3.What’s the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “taboo” (in Paragraph 3)? A. 奉承 B. 禁忌 C. 吹捧 D. 嘲讽 4.How does the passage organized? a. examples b. topic c. attitudes A. b-a-c B. a-b-c C. c-b-a D.b-c-a D If parents bring up a child with the aim of turning the child into a genius（天才）, they will cause great damage to him. According to several leading educational psychologists, this is one of the biggest mistakes which some parents make. Generally, the children will understand very well what the parents expect, and will fail. Unrealistic（不现实的）parental expectations can cause great damage to children. However, if parents are not unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are hopeful in a proper way, the children may succeed in doing it very well--especially if the parents are 九年级英语第 7 页（共 8 页） very supportive of their children. Michael Lee is very lucky. He is very fond of music, and his parents help him a lot by taking him to concerts and arranging private piano and violin lessons for him. They even drive him 50 kilometers twice a week for violin lessons. Although Michael’s mother knows very little about music, Michael’s father plays the trumpet in a large orchestra（管弦乐队）. However, he never makes Michael enter music competition if he is unwilling to. Michael’s friend, Wilson Chen, however, is not so lucky. Both his parents are successful musicians, and they set too high a standard for Wilson. They want their son to be as successful as they are and so they enter him in every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when he does not win. “When I was at your age, I used to win every competition I entered.” Wilson’s father tells him. Wilson is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he is always quiet and unhappy. 1.Michael is lucky because . A.his parents help him in a proper way B. his family is rich enough to have a car C. his parents are musicians in an orchestra D. he needn’t take any private lessons 2.Wilson’s parents set so high a standard for him that . A.he has to do his best to do everything B. he has made greater progress in music C. he is afraid that he may disappoint them D. he wins every piano competition 3.The author shows us that it is one of parents’ worst mistakes if . A.they want their child to be a musician B.they help their child to win music competitions C.they don’t care for their children’s grades at school D.they make their child try to achieve too much 4.According to the author’s opinion, . A.it is unimportant to let the children develop the way they want B.parents should be supportive of their children C.all successful parents can train their children to succeed in everything D.unrealistic parents should arrange private lessons for their children 四、词汇运用（共 15 小题，每小题 1 分，共 15 分） B. 用方框中所给单词的适当形式填空，使对话通顺、正确。每词仅用一次，每空一词。 life, pleasure, wide, do, list Paul: Hey, Roy, the subject for my school project is Small Inventions That Change the World.
