One day, when I was walking home from school, I saw some words on a fence(栅栏)of a house. It said, “Happiness is a direction, not a destination(终点).” I had been having a bad day and just reading this made me a little happier. I saw the quote(格言) every day while walking home from school. One day I decided to write one of my favourite quotes on the fence for someone else to see. But when I came back to the fence, I saw another quote under mine. I added another, and we kept at this pattern for quite a while. A few days later, when I was writing another quote on the fence, the old man, one of my neighbours, who owned the fence, saw me. He came out and I was afraid he would be angry with me. He was not known to be a friendly person. He looked at me angrily and then read the quotes on the fence. Without saying a word, he went back inside. I was terrified for a while, but when I went back to the fence, I noticed two words had been added: “Thank you.”Later, I saw the old man in his front yard. He called me over and told me that he was glad to see that young people still had values. We are now good friends.

BWhen a cake is brought to the table at a birthday party, it is usually decorated with candles. It is said that the tradition of lighting birthday candles was invented by the ancient（古老的）Greeks; it has taken on different meanings through the years. Today, one of the most popular birthday traditions is to blow out the candles all at once to make a secret wish come true. In order to please Artemis, the goddess of the moon, the ancient Greeks arranged something special for birthdays. A moon-shaped cake was baked and decorated with lit candles. They thought the smoke from the candles would carry an offering(祭品) up into the sky, where they believed Artemis lived. The tradition of lighting birthday candles continued in Europe, where candles were sometimes kept burning all day on a persons birthday, partly as celebration and partly to keep away evil spirits. It was believed that the blowing out of candles represented ones prayers(祈祷) to the gods. Some cultures believe it is a bad luck to blow out the candles until after the evening meal is eaten. Traditionally, one candle represents a year of the persons age. Some families prefer to add an extra candle for good luck. But that practice is improper when a very young child is celebrating a third birthday. Generally, older peoples birthdays are celebrated by placing just a few candles to represent, such as an eight for 80th birthday. Todays birthday candles are made in different shapes, like animals or flowers. One or two candles in the shape of numbers are sometimes used instead of lots of candles; for example, a four-shaped and a zero-shaped candle would represent 40. 47. Why did the ancient Greeks arrange something special for birthdays? A. To make their dreams come true.B. To celebrate a persons birthday. C. To protect themselves from evil spirits.D. To please the goddess of the moon.48. What is the tradition of lighting candles for birthdays like in Europe? A. The candles were always kept burning all day on a persons birthday. B. The blowing out of candles represented ones prayers to the god. C. Some cultures believe it is right to blow out the candles before the evening meal. D. The Europeans sometimes keep burning the candles all day just as a celebration. 49. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs? A. In some families, people would add an extra candle without any special meaning. B. It is common to see a cake with four candles on a three-year-old childs birthday. C. Traditionally, people can use an eight-shaped and a zero-shaped candle to represent 80. D. Usually one candle is placed on a cake for each year of the persons age. 50. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. It is said that the ancient Greeks invented the tradition of celebrating birthdays. B. The ancient Greeks believed that Artemis lived in heaven(天堂). C. Lighting birthday candles hasnt taken on any new meanings through the years. D. The tradition of lighting candles for birthdays came from Europe. CWith the fast development of China, is Putonghua becoming the preferred language? Not anytime soon, says EF Education First, a company that works on English language training. Instead, English will keep its dominance(绝对优势). The British council(国会) reports that by 2020, two billion people will be studying English. That study result is good news for English speakers like me, who have tried to learn a foreign language. It is reported that only 10% of native(本土的) Americans can speak a second language, compared(与比较) to 56% of European Union citizens. At present English still seems to be the most basic language for global business success. In fact, as many as 100,000 native English speakers are teaching in China at present. Here are some findings of EFs study, which may have some implications (启示) for future global development. First, women speak better English than men. More and more women are going to colleges, and they often perform better in literacy classes than men. Second, international companies use English more than local ones. People there usually speak English at work. At last, people in European countries speak great English, Asian countries are in the middle, and everyone else falls behind. Scandinavians and the Dutch are the English-as-a-second-language superstars; as you move south through Europe, peoples English language ability goes down but is still good. Asian countries, led by Singapore and Malaysia, are at the middle level. And if youre planning to visit Panama, Thailand or Libya, make sure you have your dictionary with you. 51. Where does the author probably come from? A. An Asian country. B. A native English-speaking country. C. A European country. D. A Middle Eastern country. 52. What does the underlined sentence mean? A. More Chinese people study English now than before. B. The EF Company has sent the most teachers to China. C. Chinese people have the ability to speak a second language. D. Chinese people learn English mainly through language training. 53. The purpose of listing the results of EFs study is to _. A. improve English language teachingB. show which countrys people speak English best C. give implications for future global development D. find out which kind of company uses English most54. Which is the right order, from high to low, when we talk about English speaking level? A. Singaporeans - Libyans - The Dutch.B. Libyans - The Dutch - Singaporeans. C. Libyans - Singaporeans - The Dutch.D. The Dutch - Singaporeans - Libyans. 五、任务型阅读（共5小题；每小题1分, 满分5分）阅读下面短文，在表格内的空白处填入合适的答案(每格限填一词)。Do you have trouble finishing your work within a given time? Do you find yourself having to scramble(艰难完成) through your work because time is running out? It is important to manage your time properly.First, you should write down your tasks on paper. This is to make sure that you do not miss any of them. Having them written down somewhere ensures(确保) that you will get the task completed even if you forget about it. Of course, you need to make sure that the task list is always within your sight(视野). Make sure you have a clear view of your tasks. You can write them down in a diary. After you have written down your tasks, it is time to plan your action. Which tasks need not be completed as urgently(急切地)? How much time are you going to give each task? I suggest that you complete the urgent tasks first, but at the same time, be sure to include some time to take breaks in between. The breaks ensure that you have a moment to run away from stress until you return to continue from where you left off. Above all(最重要的是), however, dont procrastinate(拖延，耽搁) because it is your number one enemy. Procrastination can also mean that you will not be as focused when you do your work. Time is valuable, so do not waste it by procrastinating. Focus on completing the task and get it over once and for all. How to finish your work within a given timeFirstly* Write down your tasks on paper in order not to 55 any.* Make sure you can 56 your task list at any time.Secondly* Complete the urgent tasks. * Leave some time for breaks to 57 yourself.Most 58 * Dont procrastinate or waste your 59 time. 20132014学年第一学期阶段性质量调研2013.11九年级英语答题纸第一卷 (共71分)一、听力（共20小题。每小题1分，满分20分）题 号12345678910答 案题 号11121314151617181920答 案二、单项选择（共10小题。每小题1分，满分10分）题 号21222324252627282930答 案三、完型填空（共12小题。每小题1分，满分12分）题 号313233343536373839404142答 案四、阅读理解（共12小题。每小题2分，满
