An 11-year-old blind girl is proud of walking...

An 11-year-old blind girl is proud of walking alone every day to and from school. Why? She has to walk past so many barriers (障碍物) in her way. The girl's home is near the school, yet her mother follows her without letting her know.

The case of the girl shows the barrier-free(障碍物) facilities (设施) are not enough in her city. Many other cities are short of barrier-free facilities as well. There's no well-designed path for the blind. In fact. in the early 2000s, some cities started to build barrier-free facilities for disabled people. However, almost 20 years later, only a few large cities have had facilities of high quality.

It's common that sidewalks are taken up with barriers. Few workers are sent to move them away, so it's dangerous for the blind to walk on them. Also, some other barrier-free facilities are badly destroyed（毁坏）. Only a few workers are assigned (分配) to do the task of repairing the broken ones.

Some ideas can make a difference — build more barrier-free facilities, employ(雇用) more of workers and require money. In a word, more money is needed to carry on with the work. It’s our duty to make life easy for disabled people, so that they can live without barriers some day.

Pan Jiachen is a 15-year-old girl from Beijing. She is the only child of her family. She is happy and confident, but she feels lonely sometimes. "It's not fun, especially when I travel with my parents. How I wish I could have a brother or a sister! " she said.

It could be time for Pan to realize her dream. China has ended its long one-child policy and every couple can have two children now. But what will a kid's life be like if he or she grows up with a sibling(兄弟姐妹) ?

A sibling can stop children from having bad feelings such as loneliness and fear, according to an expert. "Siblings give children something that parents can't give," said the expert. A kid may not feel lonely because there is someone else to play with. They can also talk about different kinds of things and share secrets with each other.

But there are disadvantages too. You need to share things with your sibling, including attention from parents, toys, the bathroom and even the TV. There could be lots of competition, arguments and even fights. Children with siblings need to learn to compromise and control their feelings.

Even the birth order can make a difference. According to a recent research, the birth order decides how parents treat their children. It will then lead to different personalities in children.　 Parents are usually nervous and strict with their first child. So firstborns are often responsible and thirsty for success. When the couple has a second child, they are more relaxed. So the late-born children are usually funny and creative.

1.Which of the following is TRUE about Pan Jiachen?

A. She is 17 years old.

B. She comes from Nanjing.

C. She doesn't like travelling.

D. She wishes that she could have a brother or a sister.

2.The third paragraph mainly talks about 　　　　　　　　 　 .

A. China has started its two-child policy B. the advantages of having a sibling

C. the disadvantages of having a sibling D. one kid may feel lonely

3.What does the underlined word "compromise" mean in Chinese?

A. 争斗 B. 遵守 C. 妥协 D. 坚持

4.Which of the following is the disadvantage of having a brother or a sister?

A. Having a partner to play with.

B. Sharing secrets with each other.

C. Having arguments and even fights.

D. Talking about something with each other.

5.From the last paragraph we can know that 　　　　　　　　 .

A. parents are usually strict with their first child.

B. the birth order has nothing to do with children's personalities

C. the late-born children are often responsible and thirsty for success

D. the first children are usually funny and creative

九年级英语完型填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

This is a tale of two friends, 53-year-old Jia Haixia and Jia Wenqi. One is blind, the other has no arms. On their own, the two are "disabled". But together, they are a powerful team that has changed part of their village in North China's Hebei Province into a rich, green forest.

Their story began in 2000, when Haixia, who was already blind in his right eye, lost his left one after an illness. Wenqi lost his arms in an accident when he was just three. Neither could find a job, so the two decided to team up. They rented some poor land and began to plant trees. In return, the local officials paid them a small fee. Haixia and Wenqi never imagined that they would end up creating an environmental paradise. Their forest now has over 10,000 trees, hundreds of birds and many other wild animals. In addition, it saves the village from river flooding during the rainy season.

When the friends work together, they focus on their strengths not their disabilities. Their day begins at 7 a.m. when the sightless Haixia carries Wenqi across the river to get to their worksite. Since they cannot afford to buy young trees to plant, the two use branches from existing trees. Haixia climbs to the tree-top and with Wenqi's direction, selects the perfect branch. He then digs a hole and carefully plants it. Finally Wenqi waters the area. Though hard-working, the men don't make much money. But as Wenqi puts it, "We stand on our own feet, so the fruits of our work taste sweeter."

Neither Haixia nor Wenqi cares about money. Together, they already have everything they need- a perfect pair of eyes, two strong hands, and the best friendship in the world!

1.Why did Haixia and Wenqi start working together?

A.Haixia needed someone to help him.

B.They both needed a way to make money.

C.They wanted to improve the environment.

D.They were required to do so by local officials.

2.What does the underlined world "it" refer to in Paragragh 2?

A.Their story

B.Their strength.

C.A small fee

D.Their forest

3.Why do Haixia and Wenqi plant tree branches?

A.They are easy to get.

B.They do not cost money.

C.They can grow very quickly.

D.They are preferred by animals.

4.In Paragraph 4, when Wenqi says "We stand on our own feet, so the fruits of our work taste sweeter", he means that"____________________".

A.they hope to make the forest even better

B.the fruits from their trees are very sweet

C.they are proud not to depend on others

Napoga is a 12-year-old girl in Ghana, Africa. It is hard for her family to get clean water. Every morning, she leaves home at half past five to get clean water for her family in a village far away. It takes her six hours to get enough clean water for daily cooking and drinking. She has no time to go to school or to play with her friends. Millions of people in the world are like Napoga. They can’t get enough clean water to keep healthy.

Earth Day is April 22. But on all other days, we must also remember it. The water we use is the most important natural resource on the earth.

Water covers 70% of the earth’s surface. But most of that is sea water. We can’t use it for very many things. Fresh water covers only 1% of the earth’s surface. You probably feel lucky that your life isn’t as hard as Napoga’s. But that doesn’t mean you don’t have to worry about water. We all face serious water problems. One of them is water pollution. All kinds of things from cars, factories, farms and homes make our rivers, lakes, and oceans dirty. Polluted water is very bad for people to drink. And dirty water is bad for fish, too. Now, 34% of all kinds of fish are dying out. How do cars and factories make our water dirty? First, they pollute the air. Then, when it rains, the rain water comes down and makes our drinking water dirty. Dirty rain called acid rain(酸雨), is also bad for plants, animals and buildings. Something must be done to prevent water form be­ing polluted.

Scientists say that in 30 years, more than half of the people in the world won’t have enough clean water. We have to learn how to save more water for ourselves and our children. Here is some advice for saving water:

●Turn off the water while you brush your teeth. You can save as much as 450 liters(升) each month.

●Leaky taps(漏水的龙头) waste a lot of water. Fix them right away!

●You can easily cut your 10-minute showers in half—and you’ll be just as clean.

●When you wash dishes, don’t let the water run.

●Only wash clothes when you have a lot to wash. If your washing machine isn’t full, you’re wasting water!
