I felt very sad because I was not able to get the ticket to the film Hero last Friday. I learned from the newspaper that tickets could be bought at the cinema box office in Richland Hills any day between 10:00 a. m. and 4:00 p. m. Since I work from 9:00 a. m. to 5:30 p. m. , the only time I could go to the cinema is during my 45 minutes’ lunchtime. It is a pity that the cinema is on the other side of the town and the bus service between my company and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round trip in 45 minutes.

Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for 15 minutes waiting for a bus. By the time I saw one come round the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip, so I had to go back. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again on Wednesday. On Thursday my luck changed. I got on a bus right away and arrived at the cinema in twenty minutes. But when I got there, I found a long line of people at the box office. I heard one man said he had been waiting in line for over an hour. I found I would not have enough time to wait in line. I caught the next bus and went back across the town.

By Friday I understood my only hope was to make the trip by car. It was expensive, but I felt it would be worth it to see the film. The trip by car only took 10 minutes, but it felt like an hour to me. When I reached the cinema, I was delighted to see that nobody was waiting in line. But I quickly found out that it was because they had already sold out all the tickets.

1.It seemed that the writer of the story works as a ____.

A. worker B. doctor C. farmer D. clerk

2.The writer tried to go to the cinema every day, but really got there ____.

A. five times B. twice C. four times D. three times

3.We can infer from the underlined sentence that the writer was ____.

A. worried B. sorry C. surprised D. pleased

4.In the end the writer got ____ ticket(s).

A. one B. two C. three D. no

5.When the writer reached the cinema, he was delighted because ____.

A. he understood his only hope was to make the trip by car

B. it was expensive, but he felt it would be worth it to see the film

C. he saw that nobody was waiting in line

D. the trip by car only took 10 minutes

九年级英语单项填空困难题查看答案及解析

Have you ever felt a strong emotion (情绪), but not been able to find the right word to describe it? Maybe there is a word for it, but you just don’t know it yet. One man is trying to help fix this problem. University of East London psychology researcher Tim Lomas is making a list of words from different languages around the world. The words have no exact equivalent(对等的) words or phrases in the English language. Perhaps the most famous example is “schadenfreude”, the German word describing pleasure at the bad luck of others.

Borrowing from as many languages as he could, Lomas searched for “untranslatable” experiences and published them in The Journal of Positive Psychology last year. His study is called the Positive Lexicography Project. Lomas has focused mostly on happy moments. He hopes that learning these words will enrich (使丰富) people’s lives. So now, thanks to the Portuguese(葡萄牙语), when you run your fingers through a loved one’s hair you can call it “cafune”. Or you can use the Spanish word “estrenar” to describe the feeling when you wear or use something for the first time. The Germans describe the good mood at the end of a working day as “feierabend”, while the Norwegians describe the feeling of sitting around a warm fireplace as “peiskos”.

“The limits of our language are said to define the boundaries of our world,” Lomas wrote for The Conversation. “If we lack (缺乏) a word for a particular positive emotion, we are far less likely to experience it.”

1.What is psychology researcher Tim Lomas working on?

A. He is studying people’s strong emotions.

B. He is improving the old English dictionaries.

C. He is making a list of words to describe people’s emotions.

D. He is trying to explain the differences between languages in the world.

2.What does the underlined word “schadenfreude” in the first paragraph mean in Chinese?

A. 乐极生悲　　 B. 幸灾乐祸　　 C. 苦尽甘来　　 D. 火上浇油

3.Which of the following is NOT true about Lomas’ study?

A. He borrowed from many languages for his study.

B. His studied “untranslatable” experiences.

C. His study is called the Positive Lexicography Project.

D. His study focused on sad moments in people’s daily life.

4.The word “peiskos” describes the feeling _____.

A. when you push your fingers through a loved one’s hair

B. when you wear or use something for the first time

C. when a long working day comes to an end

D. when you’re sitting around a warm fireplace
