What might life be like if you looked very different from others? Most of us are lucky to be born with “normal” faces. But the movie Wonder (《奇迹男孩》) shows us that there is no such things as being normal and that beauty is more than skin-deep.

Based on a bestselling novel, the movie is about a boy named Auggie. He has a facial deformity (面部畸形).　 He has spent most of his life being home-schooled. But as he enters middle school, his parents decide to send him to a private school. There, Auggie must deal with some unfriendly classmates and learn to accept himself as he is.

In the United States, most kids are taught that it is OK to be different. People don’t look down upon being special. But some kids have difficulty accepting this. It is easy to play tricks on someone who is different, especially if you have your own problems to deal with. This is another central theme from the movie ----　 even the kids who laugh at Auggie have their own personal struggles.

As Auggie’s classmates get know him better, they come to find that he’s a nice kid with a great sense of humor. They start to change their attitude to him. In real life, it may take longer to see such changes happen. But if we give people a chance, their hearts and minds may change in the end.

1.Which is NOT true about Auggie according to the writer?

A. He has a facial deformity.

B. He has been home-schooled for many years.

C. His family sends him to a private school.

D. He always becomes sad because of others’ attitude.

2.We can tell that Auggie’s school life is ________at the very beginning.

A. happy B. hard C. exciting D. normal

3.Some kids laugh at Auggie because they________.

A. have a sense of humor B. accept his difference

C. have difficulty accepting different people D. want to be home-schooled as well

A new report shows what life might be like in 100 years from now. It describes skyscrapers that are much taller than today’s buildings, underwater “bubble” cities and holidays in space. The report is from a company. It asked experts (专家) on space and architecture, as well as city planners, to give their ideas on the life in 2116. They said the way we live, work and play will be totally different to how we do these things today. The experts used the Internet as an example. They said that 25 years ago, people could not imagine how the Internet and smartphones would change our lives. The Internet has completely changed the way we communicate, learn and do daily things. The experts said the changes in the next century would be even more unbelievable.

Researchers questioned 2,000 adults about the prediction (预言) they thought were most likely (很可能的) to happen in the future. They predicted that in the future, few people will go to an office but will work from home and have work meetings online. People will have highly developed 3-D printers that will let you download (下载) a design for furniture or a food recipe and then “print” the sofa, table or pizza at home. There will also be less need for visits to the doctor. We will all have a home health instrument that will tell us what the problem is and give us treatment. We will also be going into space for holidays and to get resources that we have used up on Earth. A prediction that is missing is whether people will still need to study English.

What would life be like if you give up using your cell phone? Will it become boring?

Twenty-eight eighth-graders at St. Matthew School in San Francisco will tell you it can still be rich and colorful.

These students took part in their school’s “tech-free” challenge. They couldn’t use cell phones for two weeks from Nov 11 to Nov 22.

The idea was to help students understand how technology has affected their lives, said Denise Uhl, principal of the school.

Uhl did a survey on technology usage among the eighth-graders before thinking of the challenge. She found that 84 percent of the students said they didn’t like it “when everyone was on their cell phones”, but they didn’t know what to do about it. The answer was actually easy --- to stop constantly using cell phones.

To help students understand the point, Uhl created the activity. It was warmly welcomed among students.

“I wanted to sign up for the tech-free challenge because it was just really a good idea to do it,” eighth-grader Joe told local newspaper Catholic San Francisco. “I wanted to get closer to my family. And it really worked. I started to hang out with my family more. We watched more family movies and we played a lot of board games.”

The activity also helped students develop their interests.

During the two weeks, Lucas said he spent much more time outside, picking lemons in his garden. Maddie finished a painting and Cassie created a scarf on a loom (织布机）.

1.Students who took part in the “tech-free” challenge _____.

A. couldn’t use their computers at school

B. were not allowed to use their cell phones for nearly two weeks

C. could use the Internet at school for free

D. couldn’t take any high-tech products to school

2.The aim of the “tech-free” challenge was to _____.

A. help students focus on their study

B. reduce the use of technology in school

C. make studying more difficult for students

D. help students understand how technology has affected their lives

3.Uhl’s survey on technology usage showed that _____.

A. students liked to play games together on their cell phones

B. some students felt that they couldn’t live without cell phones

C. many students felt annoyed when others were on their phones

D. some students believed that technology improved their studies

4.After taking part in the activity, students found that _____.

A. technology was actually boring

B. they became closer to their family

C. they lost a way to keep in touch with their friends

D. going on the Internet was the only interesting thing to do

九年级英语单选题中等难度题查看答案及解析

Life in the twenty-first century will be very different from life today. Between then and now many changes will take place, but what will the changes be?

The population is growing fast. There will be many people in the world and most of them will live longer than people live now.

Computers will be much smaller and more useful, and there will be at least one in every home. And computer studies will be one of the important subjects in schools then.

People will work fewer hours than they do now and they will have more free time for sports, watching TV and travelling. Travelling will be much easier and cheaper. And many more people will go to other countries for holidays.

There will be changes in our food, too. Maybe no one will eat meat every day, instead they eat more fruit and vegetables. Maybe people will be healthier.

Work in the future will be different, too. Dangerous and hard work can be done by robots. Because of this, many people will not have enough work to do. This will be a problem.
