冀教版2020届九年级上学期英语期末考试试卷D卷姓名:_ 班级:_ 成绩:_一、 阅读理解 (共4题；共35分)1. （9分）阅读短文B，回答问题。BWe are in a world full of competition. Our parents compete（竞争）with others in their offices, our brothers and sisters compete with others in their colleges, and we compete with our classmates in school. Many of us give up in the face of competition. Why cant we do better than others? One important reason is that we have no self -confidence.In fact, everyone is born equal. You can do what others do. Although your classmates may be better than you in some ways, you may be better than them in other ways. So everyone has his or her own advantages. Dont look at things from a single point of view. Try to discover your own advantages, and believe that you can do better than others in those ways.Competition is not so terrible. Dont be afraid of it. And dont be afraid of those classmates who are better than you. Remember that the first step to success is self-confidence. Believe in yourselves, and you will be successful.（1）阅读短文B,根据英文释义及首字母提示拼写单词。e_: having the same rights or being treated the same as other people.a_: a thing that helps you to be better or more successful than other people.（2）阅读短文B,进行同义句转换Believe in yourselves, and you will be successful.You _ be successful _ you believe in yourselves.（3）根据短文B内容简答问题What can you learn from the passage?2. （10分）根据短文内容，选择正确答案。For most people, the word fashion means clothes.

As a boy, he was told he was hopeless at science and was at bottom of his class. Now, aged 79，the very same Gurdon shared the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine with Japanese stem cell (干细胞) researcher Shinya Yamanaka.Like so many scientists, Gurdon shows us where the power of curiosity and perseverance(坚持) can lead.When he was 15 in 1948，Gurdon ranked last out of the 250 boys at his high school in biology and every other science subject. Gurdons high school science teacher even said that his dream of becoming a scientist was quiteridiculous.In spite of his teachers criticisms(批评), Gurdon followed his curiosity and kept working hard. He went to the lab early and left later than anyone else. He experienced thousands of failures.My own belief is that we will, in the end，understand everything about how cells actually work，Gurdon said.In 1962, Gurdon took a cell from an adult frog and moved its genetic (基因的) information into an egg cell. The egg cell then grew into a clone of the adult frog. This technique later helped to create the sheep Dolly in 1996，the first cloned mammal(哺乳动物) in the world.In 2006，Gurdons work was developed by Yamanaka to show that a sample(样本) of a persons skin can be used to create stem cells. Using this technique, doctors can repair a patients heart after a heart attack.Luck favors the prepared mind, Gurdon told the Nobel Prize Organization. Ninety percent of the time things dont work, but when they do, you have to seize(抓住) the chance.（1）Who won the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine? A . Sir John GurdonB . Shinya YamanakaC .
