九年级英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

Have you ever wondered what goes through your mind when you choose where to sit in a new classroom? Or in a waiting room full of strangers? Or on a bus? Researchers have found out some interesting facts.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, we prefer to sit closer to people like ourselves. Girls sit by girls and boys sit by boys. Adults sit together and young people choose another young person to sit near. But it goes further than this. We even choose to sit near someone who looks like us. People with glasses are more likely to sit near other people with glasses. People with long hair sit closer to other people with long hair.

We seem to believe that people with similar habits or hobbies will share similar attitude and we are more likely to be accepted by people like ourselves or even, we think we may be safer with people who look like us. Sometimes that’s true but it's a pity if we always stick to the same people, the same group. The danger in always staying in our comfort zone (舒适区)is that we just recycle the same opinions, the same tastes and the same ideas. We lose the chance to learn something new, find out about interesting things, hear funny stories and discover difference.


When we always stick to the same people, how can we ever break down the barriers which prevent us from getting to know people with different ideas? And how can we avoid the ignorance (无知),which too often leads to prejudice (偏见) and even fear? If instead you want to live in a society that opens to changes and new things and different opinions, be the cat among the pigeons.

Move out of your comfort zone. Go and sit next to someone different. And don't just sit there in silence. Say hello. Ask a question. Start a conversation. That’s how we make friends. That’s how we learn about people. That’s how we open our minds to new ideas. That's how we live an exciting life.

1.From the passage, we know that people prefer sitting by someone who________.

A.is like themselves

B.has a sense of humor

C.is open-minded

D.lives an exciting life

2.People like staying in their comfort zone because they may________.

A.remain comfortable and special

B.be accepted easily and feel safe

C.find out more interesting things

D.discover differences among themselves

3.What is the purpose of the passage?

A.To tell us just to be ourselves in social life.

B.To introduce ways to learn about the world.

C.To explain how people communicate with others.

D.To encourage us to meet people of different kinds.

Some people say life is like crossing a river; 1.

I think our life is much like climbing a mountain. Each year we have a new mountain to climb. To reach our goals, we work hard to make progress day after day. 2. We can complain (抱怨) about how unfair it is to climb a new mountain every day. Or, we can just make ourselves busy.

Sometimes, we fall over. Here we also have another choice. 3. Or, we can stand on our feet and begin climbing that mountain again.

If we reach the goal for this year, we start from zero to reach the goal for next year. We shouldn't spend the rest of our lives looking at where we used to be. 4.

Many people will waste time worrying, "Can I reach my final goal?" or "Is it worth doing"? 5. The question is, "Can I take the next step in the right direction?"

D.These questions are really important.

Everyone needs help sometimes. People depend on one another. That's why communities have special people ready to lend a helping hand to anyone who needs it.

For example, what would we do without a community fire station？ If a home catches on fire,as the Jackson place did last week, it might be burned down and people get hurt…or worse. We're so lucky to have firemen to come to save people and put out the fire, safely. If the fire station hadn't come so fast, the Jacksons might have lost everything.

And what about our local police who protect our families, our homes and valuable things?The police have helped so many families this past year, especially saving people and pets and protecting our houses and other things after the heavy rains.

Think about all the other service workers we have in this community, We have people who collect waste and rubbish and keep our community sanitary, We have road workers who put up and repair traffic signs and fix holes in the streets to protect not just us, but our cars! And where would this community be without the teachers in our school and the doctors, and nurses in our community hospitals?

Think again about what we eat every day; think again about what we wear every day. We cannot produce them, but we use them all the time. We get a lot from all these tireless workers who keep our community running. We need these people in the community. We depend on each other. Let's support each other and help each other. Only in this way can we make our community a better place.

1.What happened to the Jacksons last week？

A.Their pets were lost. B.Their car was badly burnt.

C.Their house caught on fire. D.Their valuable things were stolen.

2.Who offered help to families after the heavy rains?

A.Firemen B.Doctors C.Road workers D.Local police

3.What does the underlined word "sanitary" mean?

A.Clean B.Safe C.Quiet D.Busy

A.Did the writer make us laugh?

B.Did the writer want us to do something？
