九年级英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

How can you buy a meal for lunch without any money in your pocket? Students in Class 9, Grade 8 at Mountain and Lake Middle School in Chengdu, Sichuan, have their ways. They give out flyers(传单), draw portraits(人物素描) and work as waiters.

The class, working in eight groups, finished the activity, Experiencing Life for Seven Hours, on March 18. “I found students waste their food in the canteen,” the class teacher, Deng Guirong, told Teens. “So I held this activity to help them understand how hard it is to make money.”

Jiang Yao, 15, and his group members stood in the streets giving out flyers for about two hours and got the money for their lunch. Then they worked as waiters in a pizza restaurant—cleaning the floor and toilets and getting food for guests. “We were busy all along, so we were terribly exhausted after the day’s hard work,” said Jiang. “We each got a pizza as a prize, which tasted much better than one I ate with my parents before.”

When Xie Ni’s group didn’t make any money in three hours, the members became nervous about their lunch. The 14 years old girl came up with the idea of drawing portraits to sell, “I sold four portraits and one tourist even paid us 100 yuan for his portrait.” said Xie.

Xie realized that life is really hard. “We have to work hard to get the money to pay for even a simple meal.” Xie said, “We must value the happy life today.”

On top of making money, each group was asked to do at least five good deeds during the seven hours. Students helped the old cross the road, gave directions to tourists and turned in a lost bus card.

1.From the teacher’s words, we can see that the students ________

A. usually waste food on their daily life.

B. realize life is really not easy

C. Know it’s hard to make money

D. have their own ways to get food without money

2.The underlined word “exhausted” in Paragraph 3 means ________

A. happy　　　 B. crazy　　 C. tired　　 D. boring

3.In order to make money, the students have done all except_________.

A. help the old cross the road

B. give out flyers

C. draw portraits.

D. work as waiters

4.The purpose of this activity is to ________

A. let the students get food

B. help the students learn to value their today’s life

C. help people in need

D. give the students a chance to learn to work

5.What’s the best title for the passage?

A. Life Is Really Hard

B. It’s Good To Be A Volunteer

C. How To Work For People

D. Experiencing Life For Seven Hours

When my son, Mark, was in the third grade, he saved all his pocket money for over three months to buy holiday presents. The third Saturday in December Mark said he had made his list and had twenty dollars in his pocket.

I drove him to a nearby supermarket. Mark picked up a hand basket and went in while I waited and watched in the car. It took Mark over 45 minutes to choose his presents. Finally he came to the checkout counter (收银台) and reached into his pocket for his money. It was not there! There was a hole in his pocket, but no money. Mark stood there holding his basket, tears falling down his face.

Then a surprising thing happened. A woman came up to Mark and took him in her arms. “You would help me a lot if you let me pay for you,” said the woman. “It would be the most wonderful gift you could give me. I only ask that one day you will pass it on. When you grow up, I would like you to find someone you can help. When you help others, I know you will feel as good about it as I do now.”

Mark took the money, dried his tears and ran back to the checkout counter as fast as he could. That year we all enjoyed our gifts almost as much as Mark enjoyed giving them to us.

I would like to say “thank you” to that very kind woman, and tell her that four years later, Mark went house to house collecting blankets and clothes for the homeless people in the fire. And I want to promise her that Mark will never forget to keep passing it on.

1.When they got to the supermarket, Mark went in ________.

A. by himself　　　　　　 B. with the writer

C. with the woman　　　 D. with his friends

2.What happened to Mark in the supermarket?

A. His gifts were stolen.　　 B. He lost his money.

C. His basket was broken.　　 D. He lost his way.

3.Why did the writer want to say “thank you” to the woman?

A. Because she bought Mark a nice present.

B. Because she always paid money for others.

C. Because she collected clothes for the homeless.

D. Because she taught Mark to help people in need.
