译林牛津英语九年级中考阅读训练卷 2

一、完形填空。

Most parents, I suppose, have had the experience of reading a bedtime story 1 their children. And they

must have realized how difficult it is to write a 2 children’s book. Either the writer has aimed too 3 , so

that children can’t follow what is in his (or more often, her) story, 4 the story seems to be talking to the

readers.

The best children’s books should be 5very difficult nor very simple, and satisfy the 6 who hears the

story and the adult who7 it. Unfortunately(不幸的是), there are in fact few books like this,8 the problem of

finding the right bedtime story is not 9 to solve. This may be why many of the books regarded as 10 of

children’s literature were in fact written for 11 ― “Alice in Wonderland” is perhaps the most obvious of

this.

Children, left for themselves, often 12 the worst possible interest in literature. Just leave a child in a

bookshop or a 13 and he will more willingly choose the books written in an unimaginative way, or have a

look at the most children’s comics, full of the stories and jokes which are the rejections of teachers and

righting-thinking parents.

Perhaps we parents should stop 14 to brainwash(洗脑)children into accepting our taste in literature. After

all, children and adults are so 15 that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the same books. So

I suppose we’ll just have to compromise(妥协)over the bedtime story.

Grain(谷物) Rain falls between the end of spring and the beginning of

summer, and the temperature rises much higher than it does in March. With

dry soil and heavy winds, sandstorms may happen more often.

There is an old custom in southern China that people drink tea on the

day of Grain Rain. Spring tea during Grain Rain is good for the eyes. It is

also said that drinking tea on this day would prevent bad luck.

People in northern China have the tradition to eat the vegetable toona

sinensis during Grain Rain. An old Chinese saying goes “toona sinensis

before the rain is as tender as silk”. The vegetable is good for the stomach.

The Grain Rain Festival is celebrated by fishing villages in northern

China. Grain Rain marks the start of the fishermen’s first voyage of the

year. The custom dates back to more than 2,000 years ago.

People in poor and faraway areas have few chances to visit the Internet. In Africa, 72% of the

population cannot connect to the Internet. Luckily，“Balloon Internet System’’，developed by Loon，is

now providing service to faraway, mountainous places in Kenya where there are too few people to support

the building of signal equipment* on the ground.

The balloons, are about 24 meters tall and 8 meters wide. They are made of a plastic material that is

built to last at least 100 days. They are filled with gas that is lighter than air and rise up to 20 kilometers into

the sky - a height twice as high as airplanes fly. This helps the balloons avoid weather problems and

wildlife. The balloons move through the skies by wind currents that carry them up and down during the

flight path. They are designed to link up with a team of balloons over areas with little Internet connectivity.

Stations on the ground send signals from local Internet service providers up to the balloons. These signals

are then fed back to earth in a similar way to how satellites work. Then people on the ground can connect to

the high-speed Internet service. Solar energy collectors power the equipment during the day and charge* a

battery as well. The battery runs the system at night. When the life of the balloon ends, a parachute self-

deploys to guide it back down to the ground.

The sky-based system has many advantages. It is cheaper than building signal equipment on the ground

and undeveloped countries are able to afford it. Moreover ，it already showed success in Peru and Puerto

Rico during natural disasters. The balloons were usable in 48 hours in May after a powerful earthquake

struck a rural part of Peru. In the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico, Loon balloons were deployed after

Hurricane* Maria hit in 2017.

The launch in Kenya creates a first in many ways: the first non-emergency use to provide service in

large areas, the first successful use of balloon-powered Internet in Africa and the first of lots of

business uses to come round the world.

1. Loon runs Balloon Internet System in mountainous places in Kenya to _____________.

A. sell large balloons to its government

B. show its new productions to the local people

C. support the local people to build signal equipment

D. provide the local people with more chances to visit Internet

2. Which of the following is TRUE about the balloon system?

A. The balloons rise up as high as planes fly to avoid weather problems.
