（2019上·上海·九年级校考期末） Choose the best answer（根据以下内容，选择最恰当答案）
Humans have sewn by hand for thousands of yeas. It was said hat the fist thread was made from animal muscle and sinew. And the earliest needles were made from bones. Since those early days, many people have been involved in the process of developing a machine that could do the same thing more quickly and with greater efficiency.
Charles Wiesenthal, who was born in Germany, designed and received a patent on a double-pointed needle that eliminated the need to turn the needle around with each stitch（缝合）in England in 1755. Other inventors of that time tried to develop a functional sewing machine, but each design had at least one serious imperfection.
Frenchman Barthelemy Thimonnier finally engineered a machine that really worked. However, he was nearly killed by a group of angry tailors when they burned down his garment factory. They feared that they would lose their jobs to the machine.
American inventor Elias Howe, born on July 9th, 1819, was awarded a patent for a method of sewing that used thread from two different sources. Howe’s machine had a needle with an eye at the point, and it used the two threads to make a special stitch called a lockstitch. However, Howe faced difficulty in finding buyers for his machines in America. In frustration, he traveled to England to try to sell his invention there. When he finally returned home, he found that dozens of manufacturers were adapting his discovery for use in their own sewing machines.
Isaac Singer, another American inventor, was also a manufacturer who made improvements to he design of sewing machines. He invented an up-and-down-motion mechanism that replaced the side-to-side machines. He also developed a foot treadle（脚踏板）to power his machine. This improvement left the sewers hands free. Undoubtedly, it was a huge improvement of the hand-cranked machine of the past. Soon the Singer sewing machine achieved more fame than the others for it was more practical, it could be adapted to home use and it could be bought on hire- purchase. The Singer sewing machine became the first home appliance, and the Singer company became one of the first American multinationals.
However, Singer used the same method to create a lockstitch that Howe had already patented. As a result, Howe accused him of patent infringement（侵犯）. Of course, Elias Howe won the court case, and Singer was ordered to pay Howe royalties（版税）. In the end, Howe became a millionaire, not by manufacturing the sewing machine, but by receiving royalty payments for his invention.
27．______ made it unnecessary to turn the needle around with each stitch.
A．Barthelemy Thimonnier B．Charles Wiesenthal
C．Elias Howe D．Isaac Singer
28．Barthelemy Thimonnier’s garment factory was burned down because ______ .
A．people did not know how to put out the fire
B．Elias Howethought Thimonier had stolen his invention
C．the sewing machines was couldn’t work finally
D．workers who feared the loss of their jobs to a machine set fire
29．______ invented the Singer sewing machine.
A．Barthelemy Thimonnier B．Charles Wiesenthal
C．Isaac Singer D．Elias Howe
30．Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage
A．The Singer sewing company became more practical.
B．Singer is an American inventor and manufacturer.
C．The foot treadle helped to make the sewer's hands free.
D．Singer made improvements to the design of sewing machines.
31．Why did the court force Isaac Singer to pay Elisa Howe a lifetime of royalties
A．Because the judge was against Singer for his surly attitude.
B．Because Howe had already patented the lockstitch used by Singer.
C．Because Singer had borrowed money from Howe and never repaid it.
D．Because Singer and Howe had both invented the same machine.
32．Which of the following would be the best title for this passage
A．A Stitch in Time Saves Nine. B．The Case between Howe and Singer.
C．Patent Laws on the Sewing Machine. D．The Early History of the Sewing Machine.
三、完形填空

Early on the morning of December 26th, my friend Eric and I went down to the beach in Sri Lanka for the first time. We noticed that the sea had gone a long way out, 33 this did not mean anything to us. We had been to Mombassa several times and at times the sea had gone right out to the reef（礁）.

As we reached it a huge surge（波涛汹涌）of water almost knocked me over. He held me fast with one arm and held on to a tree with the other. The villagers were all crying loudly as furniture and other things floated（漂浮）from their houses. They all started running back 37 the railway lines directly behind.
The fisherman took me back to the railway lines and we sturnbled（蹒跚而行）along there until we came up behind Eric. I shouted that there was something wrong but Eric just did not believe me and thought I was out of my mind.
At that point, from my higher point I could see the sea rising in its bed. It just continued to rise and came towards us. Eric moved quickly with great difficulty and we escaped the third and final wave. We heard later that not one tourist at Yale Safari Lodge（小屋）remained alive to tell the story.

（2019上·上海·九年级统考期末）Shops have all kinds of tricks to get you in their doors, or on their websites, and spending. They are like traps to catch you, the buyer. If you know what those traps are, you can avoid falling into them.
Loss leaders（亏本促销商品）
Step one is to get you into the shop. The 39 that they do this is by advertising a product that you need at a crazy low price. The price might even be below cost. They 40 lose money when you buy that milk or those disapers, but you come in for that. Once in the shop you are sure to get the other things that you want and need, aren’t you Those are called loss leaders.
The expensive one makes yours seem reasonable

You decide to buy it 42 some people are spending even more money on jackets. You’ve been caught out! The placing of differently-priced items like this is done on purpose.
They give you a place to rest
You are tried from shopping and are thinking of going home. But then you see a bench, or a place to get a cheap coffee or cake. You take a break and then you are 43 to shop again. That is just what is likely to happen. Some shops even provide creches where parents can leave their children in order to shop more easily.
That“99”really 44 people to buy
You probably don’t believe that just because something is priced $9.99 instead of $10 you’ll buy it. But studies have proven that it is true. It is called the “left-digit effect”. Be aware of that when you shop.
Avoid these traps so that you won’t spend too much.

（2019上·上海·九年级校考期末） Choose the best answer（根据以下内容，选择最恰当答案）
Humans have sewn by hand for thousands of yeas. It was said hat the fist thread was made from animal muscle and sinew. And the earliest needles were made from bones. Since those early days, many people have been involved in the process of developing a machine that could do the same thing more quickly and with greater efficiency.
Charles Wiesenthal, who was born in Germany, designed and received a patent on a double-pointed needle that eliminated the need to turn the needle around with each stitch（缝合）in England in 1755. Other inventors of that time tried to develop a functional sewing machine, but each design had at least one serious imperfection.
Frenchman Barthelemy Thimonnier finally engineered a machine that really worked. However, he was nearly killed by a group of angry tailors when they burned down his garment factory. They feared that they would lose their jobs to the machine.
American inventor Elias Howe, born on July 9th, 1819, was awarded a patent for a method of sewing that used thread from two different sources. Howe’s machine had a needle with an eye at the point, and it used the two threads to make a special stitch called a lockstitch. However, Howe faced difficulty in finding buyers for his machines in America. In frustration, he traveled to England to try to sell his invention there. When he finally returned home, he found that dozens of manufacturers were adapting his discovery for use in their own sewing machines.
Isaac Singer, another American inventor, was also a manufacturer who made improvements to he design of sewing machines. He invented an up-and-down-motion mechanism that replaced the side-to-side machines. He also developed a foot treadle（脚踏板）to power his machine. This improvement left the sewers hands free. Undoubtedly, it was a huge improvement of the hand-cranked machine of the past. Soon the Singer sewing machine achieved more fame than the others for it was more practical, it could be adapted to home use and it could be bought on hire- purchase. The Singer sewing machine became the first home appliance, and the Singer company became one of the first American multinationals.
However, Singer used the same method to create a lockstitch that Howe had already patented. As a result, Howe accused him of patent infringement（侵犯）. Of course, Elias Howe won the court case, and Singer was ordered to pay Howe royalties（版税）. In the end, Howe became a millionaire, not by manufacturing the sewing machine, but by receiving royalty payments for his invention.
27．______ made it unnecessary to turn the needle around with each stitch.
A．Barthelemy Thimonnier B．Charles Wiesenthal
C．Elias Howe D．Isaac Singer
28．Barthelemy Thimonnier’s garment factory was burned down because ______ .
A．people did not know how to put out the fire
B．Elias Howethought Thimonier had stolen his invention
C．the sewing machines was couldn’t work finally
D．workers who feared the loss of their jobs to a machine set fire
29．______ invented the Singer sewing machine.
A．Barthelemy Thimonnier B．Charles Wiesenthal
C．Isaac Singer D．Elias Howe
30．Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage
A．The Singer sewing company became more practical.
B．Singer is an American inventor and manufacturer.
C．The foot treadle helped to make the sewer's hands free.
D．Singer made improvements to the design of sewing machines.
31．Why did the court force Isaac Singer to pay Elisa Howe a lifetime of royalties
A．Because the judge was against Singer for his surly attitude.
B．Because Howe had already patented the lockstitch used by Singer.
C．Because Singer had borrowed money from Howe and never repaid it.
D．Because Singer and Howe had both invented the same machine.
32．Which of the following would be the best title for this passage
A．A Stitch in Time Saves Nine. B．The Case between Howe and Singer.
C．Patent Laws on the Sewing Machine. D．The Early History of the Sewing Machine.

The fisherman took me back to the railway lines and we sturnbled（蹒跚而行）along there until we came up behind Eric. I shouted that there was something wrong but Eric just did not believe me and thought I was out of my mind.
