ay, I took an underground to work, I saw something that made me v
ery sad.On the tube （the underground in London）, a mother kept lo
oking at her phone screen and playing a game with her daughter si
tting beside her. The little girl, about 5 years old, was talking
to her mother about her day, repeating the next stop''s name chee
rfully, praising her mother''s long nails, trying to 25 her
mother''s attention. Her mother just nodded and mumbled （含糊地说） "Mm
, hm" with her eyes glued to the screen, busy passing the levels
of the game. I watched the girl give a final try to at least get
her mum to 26 her, but it was no use. Then the little girl tur
ned 27 , and was in low spirits. It was a shame the mother didn
''t notice that.It broke my heart and got me wondering what kind o
f 28 would make the mother forget she has the most beautiful t
hing in the world, the human she created, the person she loves wi
th all her heart? What it meant when she couldn''t look into her d
aughter''s eyes and even stop to listen to the girl?Some parents a
re almost like the teenagers, always on their phones with mindles
s games or going through Facebook. Perhaps parents have many thin
gs to deal with, but sometimes they are 29 to their kids.This is
not an isolated example. I''ve seen too many such examples. I mig
ht not be a parent myself, and probably still have a long way 30
becoming one, but I know what I saw isn''t right.The scene used t
o be seen among teenagers very often when parents complained how
their children were crazy about their mobile phones. Look how the
situation has 31 ! The parents have become "technology slaves"
, that is to say, they can''t 32 themselves while using mobile ph
ones. Now some middle-aged parents hold their smart phones and pl
ay the simple games every day. I''m uncertain whether to laugh or
to cry. But my hope is that this storm passes.25. A. giveB. payC.

分，每小题2分）AHave you collected anything since you were young? These
people have! Tony from Germany has collected more than 290,000 pe
ns from 140 countries. He has collected pens for more than 10 yea
rs. The most expensive pen in his collection is made of gold! He
also started a pen collecting club. Angelika from the UK has coll
ected Barbie dolls since she was a child. She has collected 1,125
dolls. She changes the dolls'' clothes once a month and often bru
shes their hair! She also collects dolls of Barbie''s boyfriend. R
on from the US likes collecting key rings （钥匙扣） . He has collecte
d twenty-four thousand key rings since he was young. His key ring
s are all different－that means no two key rings are the same! He
has been a world record holder for 13 years. Zhu Yue from China h
as collected erasers for 20 years. At the age of 11, she visited
Shenzhen with her parents. For the first time Zhu Yue was fascina
ted （使着迷） by erasers after she saw them in a shop. Ever since the
n she has collected every new kind of erasers. Now she has collec
ted 100,000 erasers.33. What does Tony collect?A. Dolls.B. Key ri

ngelika.C. Ron.D. Zhu Yue.35. How many key rings has Ron collecte
d?A. 290,000.B. 100,000.C. 24,000.D. 1,125.BGiving a HandJaime, a
new immigrant （移民） of the USA, was going to watch his daughter''s
first show in a school play. His daughter, Carol, was five years
old. She was a student at the local public school. Carol did not
have a very big role in the school play. She was just playing a
rain cloud in a play about the drought in California. Carol had j
ust one line. Her line was, "I am sad enough to cry about how dry
the state is."Jaime and his wife made sure to arrive early so th
at they could get a good seat to watch the show. They found seats
in the front row. Before the show began, the schoolmaster made a
n introductory speech. The speech was about how hard the students
and teachers worked together to make the play possible. At the e
nd of the speech, the schoolmaster said, "Let''s give the school s
taff a hand".Jaime, whose English was not very good, stood up whe
n the schoolmaster said this. He knew that when people said "to g
ive someone a hand" they meant they needed help. Jaime always wan
ted to help, especially at his daughter''s school. Jaime thought m
aybe they needed help backstage.Jaime''s wife put her arm in front
of her husband. "Where are you going?" she asked in a low voice.
"They need a hand," Jaime replied. His wife explained that "to g
ive someone a hand" could also mean to applaud （鼓掌） someone. When
you applaud someone you clap your hands （拍手） after their perform
ance. You are not supposed to stand up and try to help others. "T
hey don''t need help. They just want us to clap," Jaime''s wife exp
lained. Jaime felt a little embarrassed. He sat back down and beg
an clapping along with the rest of the audience.Jaime thought to
himself that someone needed to give the English language a hand.
How could one phrase mean two different things? He meant the Engl
ish language needed help.36. Why did Jaime and his wife arrive at
the play early? A. To talk to other parents. B. To wish their da
ughter good luck. C. To get good seats to watch the show. D. To l
isten to the speech of the schoolmaster.37. Jaime thought "giving
someone a hand" meant __________. A. helping someone B. clapping
your hands C. holding someone''s hand D. giving your hand to some
one38. What can we learn from the passage? A. Jaime stood up to a
pplaud. B. Jaime is a warm-hearted man. C. Jaime was better at En
glish than his wife. D. Jaime''s daughter played an important role
in the show.CMoney is what people use to buy things they need or
want. A long time ago, people didn''t use money. So how did they
get the things they wanted? Well, there is a long and interesting
story about this.At first, they would exchange something they ha
d for something they needed. For example, if the shoemaker needed
some bread, he would give the baker shoes and the baker would gi
ve him bread. This was called "bartering". Bartering worked fine
for a while. But after the baker had too many shoes, the shoemake
r still needed more bread. What could they do? The solution to th
is problem was money.Money is basically an agreement among people
. People agree that some metal or paper will be worth a certain a
mount of bread or a certain number of shoes. There were many earl
ier forms of money, such as cattle, salt, grain （谷物） and shells.
But it was not easy to move them or store them.So coins began to
take the place of things. Coins had a set value and could be stor
ed long. A coin says right on it how much it is worth. Different
coins are worth different amounts. It became possible for people
to trade in a standardized （标准） way.About three hundred years ago
, paper money came into wider use. Paper money is cheaper to make
than coins. It is also easier to carry around. Now people use pa
per money and coins in most countries. We call these kinds of mon
ey cash.Cash has been popular for hundreds of years. But these da
ys, things seem to have changed. Cashless payment （无现金支付） has com
e into our lives and changed our world.China was the first countr
y in the world to use paper money. Now, centuries later, analysts
（分析家） believe that China may soon become the first cashless soci
ety. Cashless payment apps such as Alipay and WeChat Pay are beco
ming more common in China. The buyer just scans （扫描） the quick-re
spond code （二维码） of the seller, or the other way around. Then the
y can get the things they want. No physical money is needed in th
is process. Is tomorrow already here?39. Which is the correct ord
er of the development of money? ①Coins ②Bartering ③Paper money ④C
ashless payment ⑤Cattle, grain and shells A. ②⑤①③④ B. ⑤③②①④ C. ②⑤
①④③ D. ⑤④③②①40. What can we learn from the passage? A. Coins are
the earliest form of money in the world. B. People cannot buy thi
ngs by showing the quick-respond code. C. Both coins and paper mo
ney are very popular around the world. D. Paper money costs more
to make than coins because they are worth more.41. What does the
author want to tell us in the last paragraph? A. China is the fir
st cashless country in the world. B. People will start using cash
less payment tomorrow. C. People won''t use any physical money in
the future. D. Cashless payment is the new stage of money develop
ment.DSuperhero movies and TV shows are very popular today. A new
study shows something is missing from superhero stories, though.
Most popular superheroes are men. The new study says kids want t
o see more superheroes who are women.The study was done by two gr
oups. One is the Women''s Media Center. The other is BBC America.
The Women''s Media Center is a charity （慈善） group. It fights for f
air treatment （待遇） of women in things like TV and movies. BBC Ame
rica is a TV channel.More than 2,000 people took part in the stud
y. Some were kids aged from 10 to 19. Others were the parents of
younger children.Not Enough Strong Woman CharactersThe study show
s that most girls feel there are not enough female role models in
entertainment （娱乐）. They think there should be more strong femal
e characters. They want to see superheroes that look like them. B
oys answered questions in the study, too. Most agreed with the gi
rls. They want to see more female superheroes, like Wonder Woman.
Julie Burton runs the Women''s Media Center. She said TV and movie
s had to make changes. They must provide more role models for gir
ls. Female characters should reflect （反映） girls of all different
backgrounds, she said. It is important for all to see people who
look like them in entertainment.Helping Girls Feel More Brave and
ConfidentBurton said seeing strong female characters is importan
t for girls. It helps them build confidence. These characters giv
e girls someone to look up to, she explained. This can inspire gi
rls. It can also help them to feel brave.Sarah Barnett agrees. Sh
e runs BBC America. "If you can''t see her, you can''t be her," Bar
nett said.The study asked girls how they feel when they see power
ful female characters on screen. The results were interesting. Th
ey showed that seeing female characters has a big effect on girls
. Boys like seeing male superheroes on screen. But the study show
ed the effect on boys was smaller. Maybe that is because seeing m
ale superheroes is pretty common. Female superheroes are rarer. S
eeing them is more exciting.More Women in EntertainmentThe report
is a part of a new plan at BBC America. It is called #Galaxy Of
Women. The goal is to improve how women are shown in entertainmen
t.The study came out the day after BBC America started a new seas
on of "Doctor Who". It is a popular science fiction show. The Doc
tor is an alien （外星人） who can travel through time and change bodi
es. Twelve different actors have played the Doctor since the show
started in 1963. This season, the Doctor is a woman, played by J
odie Whittaker. This is the first time the Doctor has been played
by a woman.42. What can we learn from the passage? A. The study
was done by Men''s Media Center and BBC. B. There are enough women
superheroes in entertainment. C. Julie Burton believes TV and mo
vies need to make changes. D. More than 2,000 kids aged from 10 t
o 19 took part in the study.43. What do the underlined sentences
mean? Maybe that is because _________. A. male superheroes are st
rong, and female superheroes are pretty. B. there are more chance
s to see male superheroes compared to female ones. C. seeing male
superheroes is more exciting than seeing female superheroes. D.
it is less likely to see male superhero characters than female on
es on screen.44. Why did BBC America start the #Galaxy Of Women?
A. To make sure there was a woman Doctor on screen. B. To better
the way women appeared on TV and films. C. Because BBC America ha
d a new plan and it was a part of it.D. Because the new season of
science fiction "Doctor Who" was popular.45. What''s the best tit
le for the passage? A. Is It Good to See Superheroes? B. More Sup
erheroes, More confidence C. More Strong Female Characters or Not
? D. Science Fiction and Women Characters六、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。（共8分，每
小题2分）A LessonJoe was a farmer. His farmland was so poor that he h
adn''t had good harvests for years."If God lets me control the wea
ther, then everything will get better," he complained. "I''m a far
mer. I know what''s the best for crops to grow than God does."God
told him that he would control all kinds of weather. "Let''s see w
hat your crops will grow like." God said.On hearing this, Joe was
excited and immediately shouted, "Sunny!" Suddenly the clouds we
nt away.He was pleased and shouted again, "Rainy!" The sky was co
vered with dark clouds right away, then after a while, heavy rain
poured down.Watching the seeds growing bigger and bigger and bec
oming crops, Joe felt much satisfied. Then, the harvest season ca
me.He went to the field to get his crops. But his heart suddenly
sank （下沉） when he found the strong crops even hadn''t grown a grai
n. He was quite confused and started to cry. Once again, God hear
d him."Do you want to know why you still don''t get the good harve
st you want?" God asked. "That''s because you never asked for wind
, rainstorm, snow and ice, or anything that could make the air fr
esher and the roots stronger. Without strong roots, of course the
crops won''t grow any fruit."After he realized this, Joe asked Go
d to take back the power. It turned out that only through life''s
challenges would we reap （收获） the fruit of life.46. Was Joe a far

except shareChristmas Is for LoveChristmas is for joy, fo
r giving and 58 , for reuniting with family and friends. But mo
stly, Christmas is for love. I didn''t know this until I received
a wonderful gift one Christmas.Mark was an 11-year-old orphan （孤儿
） who lived with his aunt. I hadn''t noticed Mark until he began s
taying after class each day to help me clean our classroom. We di
dn''t talk much, but 59 the quiet hours of the day. When we did t
alk, Mark spoke mostly of his mother. Though he was quite little
when she died, he remembered her as a kind, gentle, loving woman
who always spent a lot of time with him.As Christmas drew near, M
ark stopped staying after school. I had always looked forward to
60 him. One afternoon, as he was leaving our classroom, I stoppe
d him and asked why he hadn''t been staying around to help me clea
n. I told him how I had missed him and explained how he had been
my best helper. "I was making you a surprise," he whispered 61
. "It''s for Christmas." After saying that, he became embarrassed
and rushed out of the room. He didn''t stay after school anymore a
fter that.Finally, the last school day before Christmas came. Mar
k gave me a tiny box. I opened the wooden box and found nothing i
n it. I held the empty box and asked gently, "What is this, Mark?
""It''s love," he whispered softly, "and mother always said it''s t
he 62 when you give it away." And he turned and quietly left the
room.Yes, Christmas is for good and wonderful 63 . But mostly,
Christmas is for love.十一、阅读理解（共8分，每小题2分）Google is a company''s na
me, but it has also grown into a verb that means, "to do an Inter
net search." Now everyone and their grandma know what it means to
Google it. You know that you''re doing something big when your co
mpany name becomes a verb.Google wasn''t the first company to inve
nt their product. Lycos released their search engine in 1993. Yah
oo! came out in 1994. AltaVista began serving results in 1995. Go
ogle did not come out until 1998. That is a major head start in t
he fast moving world of tech. So how did Google overtake （超过） the
ir competitors who had such huge leads in time and money? Maybe o
ne good idea made all the difference.There are millions of sites
on the Internet. How does a search engine know which ones are rel
evant to your search? This is a question that great minds have be
en working on for decades. To understand how Google changed the g
ame, you need to know how search engines worked in 1998. Back the
n most websites looked at the words in your query （查询）. They coun
ted how many times those words appeared on each page. Then they m
ight return pages where the words in your query appeared the most
. This system did not work well and people often had to click thr
ough pages of results to find what they wanted.Google was the fir
st search engine that began considering links. Links are those bl
ue underlined words that take you to other pages when you click o
n them. Larry Page, cofounder of Google, believed that meaningful
data could be drawn from how those links connect. He was right.
Google''s search results were much better than their rivals'' （对手）.
They would soon become the world''s most used search engine.It wa
sn''t just the great search results that led to Google becoming so
well liked. It also had to do with the way that they presented t
heir product. The home pages of most other search engines were fi
lled with all kinds of things. But Google''s homepage was, and sti
ll is, clean. There''s nothing on it but the logo, the search box,
and a few links. In fact, when they were first testing it, users
would wait at the home page and not do anything. When asked why,
they said that they were "waiting for the rest of the page to lo
ad". But the fresh design grew on people once they got used to it
.These days Google has its hands in everything from self-driving
cars to helping humans live longer. Though they have many other p
opular products, they will always be best known for their search
engine. Not only is Google search engine a fantastic product, it
is a standing example that one good idea （and a lot of hard work）
can change the world.64. Which might be a reason why Google beca
me so popular?A. Google''s homepage was clean.B. Google''s homepage
loaded quickly.C. Google provided a lot of information on their
homepage.D. Google counted the times of the words appeared in que
ry.65. What is the author''s purpose in writing this article? A. To explain how Google overtook its rivals. B. To compare Google and other search engines. C. To persuade readers to use Google for Internet searches. D. To discuss how companies can influence language over time.66. What is the main idea of the fourth paragraph?A. Links allow people to surf from one website to the next.B. Google is a website that serves important links to users.C. Larry Page contributed to the Internet by inventing the link.D. Larry Page''s ideas about links helped Google get to the top.67. What is the best title for the passage?A. A Short History of Search EnginesB. A Better Way: How Google Rose to the TopC. Yahoo! vs Google: War of the Big CompaniesD. How Search Engines Work and Why They''re Important2019北京四中初二（下）期中英语参考答案一、听对话或独白，根据对话或独白的内容，选择最佳选项。1. A 2. C 3. B 4. C 5. A6. C 7. C 8. A 9. B 10.
