A
It is very important to be able to control yourself. Losing control may bring things that would never want to see. We can learn something from the following story.
Once a boy often made trouble. His mother gave him many nails (釘子). She told him to hammer (錘,釘) one in the garden fence (柵欄), every time he lost his patience (耐心) and fought with someone. The first day he hammered 27 nails. In the following weeks he learned how to control himself better and the number of the nails he hammered became smaller and smaller. He learned it was easier to control himself than to hammer nails.
The day finally came when he didn’t hammer any nails. He went to tell his mother about it. Then his mother told him to pull off a nail from the fence each time he didn’t lose his patience. After some days he told his mother that all the nails had been pulled off. Thus, she took him to the fence and said to him, “You’ve behaved(表現(xiàn)) well, but look at all the holes in the fence. The fence will never be again like it was before. When you fight with someone, you leave wounds(傷口) in him like these. The trouble may be over, but the wounds will always be there.”
So, learn to control yourself before you hammer the nails in the fence. Try not to leave any holes in your past.
( ) 1. Losing control may bring you ________.
A. good luck B. trouble C. nails D. a hammer
( ) 2. The boy used to _______.
A. be polite B. do wrong C. be careless D. be friendly to others
( ) 3. Why did the mother give her son nails?

C. He wanted to do so. D. His mother asked him to do so.
( ) 5. The writer wants us to ______.

A man once had a dream about the Black Forest In Germany. In his dream he was walking in the forest when two men ran out and tried to throw him to the ground. He ran off as fast as he could, but they followed him. He reached a place where he saw two roads in front of him, one to the right and the other to the left. Which road should he take? He heard the two men behind him, getting nearer, and at the same time he heard a voice in his ear. It told him to go to the right, and he did so. He ran on and soon came to a small hotel. He was received there kindly and given a room, and he was saved from the two men. That was the dream.

Try reading the following sentences as fast as you can. “She sells seashells by the seashore. The shells she sells are surely seashells. So if she sells shells on the seashore, I’m sure she sells seashore shells.”
Not very easy, was it? What you’ve just read is called a tongue twister (繞口令). It is an exercise made up of sounds that are hard to pronounce(發(fā)音,讀) in order to help people pronounce words faster and more correctly. Try the next example.
“Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled pepper. Did Peter Piper pick a peck of pickled peppers? If Pete Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, where’s the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?”
Tongue twisters usually do not have much meaning. They are just designed to improve people’s ability to pronounce words. Although they may be very difficult, these exercises are very important to people who are trying to speak English correctly. This is because tongue twisters help people to tell the differences between similar sounds.
So if you wish to pronounce words more smoothly, you’d better try picking out some tongue twisters and practicing them.
1.Tongue twisters are helpful in improving ___________ skills.
A. listening B. writing C. pronunciation D. communication
2.The first tongue twister is hard because ___________.
A. it is very boring to read B. it teaches us a lot of knowledge
C. we don’t know who “she” is D. the sounds of “s” and “sh” are similar
3.The passage is probably taken from _________ in a school newspaper.
A. Story Time B. Study Garden
C. Latest News D. Lost and Found

Dear Estelle, Saturday, 5th June
I hope you' re well and not working too hard! I' ve been revising for my exams now for the last two weeks. That' s why I haven' t written for such a long time.
Since the beginning of this year we' ve been doing a project called ' World Class'. Have you heard of it.'? Not everyone in the class could take part, but luckily I could. The school chooses a 'twin school' (姊妹學(xué)校) in a different area of the world. Our head teacher chose a school in Uganda. They gave us someone to write to from that school. For three months, I've written to a girl called Louisa, who is the same age as me.
It' s been more interesting to hear about her life. She' s told me all about her school and described her daily (日常的) life. I can' t believe that her School doesn' t. have any electricity. She goes to 'school from eight o' clock in the morning until six. O’clock. in the evening. I can' t believe how lucky we are here! She' s also told me that she often can' t go to school because she has to look after her baby brother and sister. She’s tried to teach me some of her language and it' s really difficult.
I love it because it' s the first time I' ve thought about what life must be like somewhere else. I can' t believe people miss classes here when everything is so easy for us. I think more people should help out with projects like this. At the weekend we' re going to have a sports day to help raise money to send to the school. Perhaps one day I'll be able to go to Uganda and meet Louisa myself--who knows?
Lots of 1ove,
Suzanne

科目:初中英語 來源:2010-2011學(xué)年重慶市九年級(jí)第六次月考(英語) 題型:閱讀理解
You’ve probably known the crazy traffic in Beijing. Sometimes the cars could hardly move for a long time. The terrible traffic is caused by the poor road and China’s ability to cope with (對(duì)付) so many cars on the road at the same time.
With more Chinese people buying cars every day, the problem seems to only get worse. But a design company called Shenzhen Hashi Future Parking Equipment has a possible solution: the super bus.
The super bus would carry up to 1,400 people in its passenger compartment (隔間). It would travel on a rail system that would be elevated (升高的) above the roads, so cars could drive under it. The bus will run on electricity and solar power, creating far less pollution than that from the cars it would be replacing (代替).
Beijing authorities haven’t decided whether to create railways for the super bus throughout the city. But they are willing to give it a test drive. Later 2010, the company will test for the first time and in 2011 and 2012, the company will test the super bus with passengers.
According to the government, Beijing is probably to have five million cars on the road by the end of 2010. So it seems to be necessary to start taking the bus instead soon.
1.__________ caused the terrible traffic in Beijing.
A. The drivers B. The roads C. The buses D. The government
2.__________ cars will be on the road by the end of 2010.

3.What is Shenzhen Hashi Future Parking Equipment?
A. It is an interesting park. B. It is a super bus.

4.Which is TRUE about the super bus according to the passage?
A. The super bus will travel above the roads.
B. The super bus will produce more pollution.
C. The super bus will only hold several people.
D. The super bus is very small.

Passage 1 Mobile Phone Madness
How much do you love your mobile phone? A Chinese student had to call 110 for help this week after he got his arm stuck in a toilet trying to rescue(援救) his mobile phone. After dropping his phone in the toilet, he decided to wrap(包,裹) his arm in newspaper in the hopes of keeping clean.
