This spring, our teacher suggested us take part in a green project and plant some trees around the school. Everyone thought it was a 16 idea, so we started looking online for the best trees to buy. But we soon found that 17 trees was not easy. If we wanted them to grow properly, they had to be the right type, but there were so many different ones available! Our teacher 18 that we should look for trees that grow naturally in our area. That way, the trees would be used for local conditions.
Then we had to think about the best 19 for planting the trees. We learned that trees are the happiest where they have room to grow and that they might get damaged if they are close to the school playgrounds. So we tried to 20 areas where students were active. 21 , we found a quiet corner close to the school garden—perfect!
Once we’d planted the trees, we knew we had to 22 them carefully. We all took turns to 23 the leaves from time to time and make sure they had no strange marks on them. Those 24 could mean the tree was ill.
We all knew that when the tree grew tall, we wouldn’t be at the school anymore. That was a bit 25 . But we’d planted the trees to benefit not only the environment but also the future students at the school. And this really cheered us up!

A
What do you think of the Chinese language
Paula It’s a beautiful language! I love Chinese characters and the meanings they have. I think the grammar of the Chinese language is easy. The pronunciation is difficult, though.
Liu Jia It’s cool and very different from English. Learning new Chinese characters feels rewarding (有益的). I enjoy it, and I think everyone should give Chinese a try if they are interested in challenging themselves.
Alfred I find Chinese characters very hard. They are not only hard to memorize but also hard to pronounce. And writing in Chinese is hard too.

A．The grammar. B．The characters. C．The pronunciation.
27．What does Liu Jia think of the Chinese language

On August 24, Japan started pouring nuclear-contaminated water (核污染水) into the sea. It plans to keep pouring it slowly for at least 30 years.
The world is worried about it. This is bad for the environment and people’s health. In the water, there are over 60 radioactive elements (放射性元素) that can give off a lot of radiation (辐射). This can give people cancer (癌症) and even change our DNA．
When the contaminated water goes into the sea, it moves with the ocean. A study shows that the water from Japan will cover all the seas on Earth in 10 years. China has stopped buying seafood from Japan since August 24.
Are nuclear wastewater and nuclear-contaminated water the same Of course not! A nuclear power plant (核电厂) makes nuclear wastewater when it works. The water doesn’t touch the radioactive materials. After strict processing, it is safe to go into the sea. But nuclear-contaminated water is different. In 2011, an earthquake (地震) hit Japan. It broke a nuclear power plant. Some radioactive things came out. The water was polluted.
Is there a safe way to deal with nuclear water Finland (芬兰) puts it under the ground. It is now building Onkalo—a big storage area for nuclear waste. Onkalo is 450 meters deep under the ground. Finland may start using it in about two years. However, Japan chose a low-priced but irresponsible way.
29．Which of the following is NOT true ________
A．Japan started to pour nuclear-contaminated water into the sea.
B．Nuclear wastewater is safe after strict processing.
C．Other countries don’t worry about nuclear-contaminated water.
D．Nuclear-contaminated water may make people sick.
30．Why is there nuclear-contaminated water in Japan ________
A．It comes from other countries.
B．A nuclear power plant makes it when it works.
C．An earthquake hit Japan and some radioactive things came out.
D．It comes from a big storage area.
31．What does the underlined word “irresponsible” mean ________
A．高效的 B．不负责任的 C．懒散的 D．低成本的
C
Bogre met Frederico in New York City. In 2014, they started a project to make the first public records of every language in the world. They’ve already recorded more than 350 languages.
“When humans lose a language, we also lose the greater diversity (多样化) in art and traditions,” said Bogre. Between 1950 and 2010, 230 languages disappeared. Today, a third of the world’s languages have fewer than 1,000 speakers left. Every two weeks a language dies with its last speaker and 50% to 90% of them are said to disappear by the next century.
Volunteers have been asked to film native speakers talking in their mother languages. Native speakers are asked to share their stories. One volunteer recorded a language that had never been studied by language researchers before. Another volunteer found a speaker of Ainu, a language in Japan that has nothing to do with any other known language.
A lack (缺乏) of protection is the reason for cutting down the language diversity. For much of the 20th century, governments across the world made some local people use official languages. More than 100 languages in Australia have disappeared since Europeans arrived. However, most languages die today because of other things; climate change and urbanization (城市化) greatly result in the disappearance of languages.
32．What do Bogre and Frederico want to do together
A．Test people’s language levels. B．Offer language courses to people.
C．Find out the reasons for language loss. D．Record all the languages in the world.
33．What does the writer point out in Paragraph 2
A．Language loss is becoming very serious.
B．Few people are worried about language loss.
C．Language loss makes it difficult for people to communicate.
D．Some countries fail to slow down the process of language loss.
34．How do volunteers help protect languages
A．By writing down native speakers’ stories.
B．By learning languages from native speakers.
C．By improving the living conditions of native speakers.
D．By videoing native speakers talking in their languages.
35．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A．Where language loss spreads. B．What causes language loss.
C．How to deal with language loss. D．What language loss brings to people.
D

How do you deal with your used textbooks 41 Or do you put them under your bed A study shows that about 2.8 billion textbooks are sold as waste paper every year. 42 Of course they can. If these books are reused（重复使用）for a year, lots of money can be saved. And the money can be used to help build 40,000 schools in poor areas.
So many schools have started a textbook recycling（回收）program. 43 Students must keep their textbooks clean and tidy. At the end of the term, they must return the textbooks to school. Then, the lower-grade students can use these textbooks again.
Recycling（回收）textbooks helps the environment, too. 44 If less paper is used, then fewer trees will be cut down to make paper.
45 According to Xianyu, an online platform for used goods（商品）1.56 million textbooks were sold online last October. It now has more than 30 million online sellers.
A．Can the textbooks be reused
B．Do you keep them
C．They provide free textbooks for students.

British people are famous for saying sorry in almost every situation. They say “sorry” for asking a question or for the bad weather and so on.
British people take pride in themselves on their polite manners. As a result, they use the word “sorry” quite a lot—even when they don’t really mean it! Usually, if they want to ask a stranger for the time, they would say, “Sorry to trouble you. Do you know what time it is ” If they are five minutes late for a date, they would generally say to the person, “Sorry, I’m late!”
That they say sorry does not only mean they feel sad for someone else because of their problems or bad luck. In the dictionary, “sorry” also means feeling regret because they have done something wrong. And now, think about this. Normally, when they want to ask a stranger a question, they start with “Sorry to trouble you.” In this situation, they aren’t saying sorry because they feel sad for that person or because they feel regretful.
In British culture, saying sorry is a way to be polite, especially to people who they don’t know very well. Besides, it also can bring them other benefits (益处) in their daily life. In a recent experiment, an actor asked different strangers on a rainy day if he could use their mobile phones to make a call. When he asked one group of strangers and asked them without saying sorry first, he was only 9% successful. However, when he said sorry to another group about the bad weather before making his request, he was 47% successful.
46．List two situations British people say “sorry” to others.

47．Why do British people often use the word “sorry” quite a lot

48．What does “sorry” also mean in the dictionary according to the passage

My English Learning
English is one of my best subjects and I started learning English when I was ten years old. But at the very beginning, listening seemed a little difficult for me. So I have been doing a lot of listening practice, such as listening to tapes and watching English movies. And I found it really helped me a lot.
In fact, there are some more helpful ways to learn English well. For example, I enjoy singing English songs and I want to join an English club or find a pen pal from English-speaking countries.
I believe that nothing is impossible if you put your heart into it.2024仁爱科普版九年级英语上册期中测试卷
