江苏省无锡市天一实验学校 2020 届九年级适应性考试英语试题

三、阅读理解阅读下面短文，然后根据短文内容，在每小题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选

项（本大题共 26 分，每小题 2分）

Every year, more than 2,600 children arrive in Britain. We ask some new arrivals what they

like best about their new lives and what's different from home.

Jarek, Poland

I don't know anybody from Poland here; but

I'm lucky because the English boy next door is

very friendly and kind. We are in the same

class! I like teachers here. At home, the

teachers seem a bit strict and serious. There

are a lot of rules, too. Here, teachers are

patient and don't give much homework. We

students go out of school and buy pizza or

burgers at lunchtime. We can't do that in

Poland.

Daisy & Luck, the USA

My sister and I like living here. It's cool!

My sister loves the British accent( 口音).

Everybody here is very polite. But we don't

understand all the strange words we say

"yard' not "garden", and "apartment" not

"flat". ' The food is better here. There's

Chinese, Indian and Thai. At home we eat too

much fast food.

Zinah, India

It's too cold here! I hate doing sports,

especially outside in winter. The teacher here

is very serious about sports. I prefer science

and maths. I love the maths class because the

teacher is really funny, just like my maths

teacher in India.The school is so big and some

students seem unfriendly. I'm from a small

village school. I think it's hard to

communicate with them.

（）25. Among the above four children, probably likes the new school life best.

A. Luck B. Zinah C. Jarek D. Daisy

（）26. In Zinah's eyes, her maths teacher in India might be_______.

A. cold B. strict C. patient D. humorous

（）27. The material is probably taken from______.

A. a travel magazine B. an education website

C. a geography textbook D. a business newspaper

There were smiling children all the way. Clearly they knew at what time the train passed their

homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway, wave to complete strangers and

cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang. Often whole families stood outside their homes and

waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favourite relatives. These are the simple

village people of Malaysia. I was moved.

I had always travelled to Malaysia by plane or car, so this was the first time I had been on a

train. I didn't specially relish the long train journey and had brought along some magazines to read

and reread. I looked about the train. There was not one familiar face. I sighed and sat down to read

my Economics.

It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia. Johore Baru was

just another city like Singapore, so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried

past. As we went beyond the city, I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles

of green. Then the first village came into sight. Immediately I came alive. I decided to wave back.

From then on my journey became interesting. I threw my magazines into the waste basket and

decided to join in Malaysian life. Then everything came alive. The mountains seemed to speak to

me. Even the trees were smiling. I stared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time.

The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry. I looked at my

watch and was surprised that it was 3:00 pm. Soon the train stopped at Butterworth. I looked at the

people around me. They all looked beautiful. When my uncle arrived with a smile, I threw my

arms around him to give him a warm hug. I had never done this before. He seemed surprised and

then his weather-beaten face warmed up with a huge smile. We walked arm in arm to his car.

I looked forward to the return journey.

（）28. What's the meaning of the underlined word "relish" in the second paragraph?

A. Choose. B. Enjoy. C. Prepare for. D. Carry on.

（）29. Where was the writer going?

A. Johore Baru. B. The Causeway. C. Butterworth. D. Singapore.

（）30. What can we learn from the story?

A. Comfort in travelling by train. B. Pleasure of living in the country

C. Reading gives people happiness. D. Smiles cheer people up.

Many expressions that we use in American English come from novels. Today we will look at

some of them from Lewis Carroll's famous novel "Alice in Wonderland" in detail.

The story is about a young girl falling down a rabbit hole. When she finally lands, she finds

herself in a strange world and meets some strange characters.

The first character Alice meets is the White Rabbit, who runs past her and says some strange

words. Alice chases(追赶) him, and that is where her adventures begin.

In English, chasing a white rabbit means chasing an impossible clue and finding yourself in

a misleading situation.

Then, as she runs after the rabbit, she falls down the rabbit hole into Wonderland.

To fall down the rabbit hole can mean to enter a confusing(令人困惑的)situation. However,

usually we use this expression to mean we get interested in something to the point of

distraction(分神). It often happens by accident and is about something not that meaningful.

Later in the story, Alice meets the March Hare and the Hatter at a crazy tea party. Hares( 野

兔) have long been thought to behave excitedly in March, which is their mating( 交配) season.

Scientifically, this may not be true. But to be mad as a March Hare means that someone is

completely mad, or crazy. The expression mad as a Hatter also means to be completely crazy. Of

the two, mad as a Hatter is more common. But don't tell the March Hare. Who knows how he will

react(反应) !

Near the end of the story, Alice meets the Queen of Hearts. A woman who is called a Queen

of Hearts likes controlling others and always tries to control everything and everyone around her.

( ) 31. Which of the following situations best fits the expression to fall down a rabbit hole ?
