人教版2019-2020年度九年级上学期期中考试英语试题（II）卷姓名:_ 班级:_ 成绩:_一、补全短文5选5For those of us who are studying at school, the time of exams is very stressful and difficult. Some people find exam times so bad that they become ill, because they are afraid of failing; they are afraid of letting their parents and family down.1 . Talk to someone about it. Maybe you can speak to a friend, or someone in your family, or teachers at your place of study. If one person doesnt help you, ask someone else. 2 . Here is some advice: Ask a teacher or tutor about how to review your lessons, and exam skillshow to work when you are in an exam. Take short rests during your time of work. If your mind is tired, it will not remember well. Plan your work: study at times when you know you will work at your best. Get enough sleep, and eat healthy food. You need exercise to work well.3 . Stop thinking about the future and failing. If you feel ill, talk to someone about your worries. But dont be too relaxed! Some stress over exams makes you work hard for them. If it upsets you to talk to your friends about an exam when it is finished, dont do it! In fact, dont even think about the exam you have finished. What is done is done.4 . To this advice, we could add: If you are studying in the evening, dont go straight to bed. Your mind will still be “going round and round”thinking too much.5 . Choose something that will relax you, and make you think of other things.AIf exams are really making you ill or worried, dont hide your feelings.BDo something else, maybe walk or get exercise.CHow to get through exams?DYou cannot change what you have written! EWalk, run and play sportwhatever you enjoy.二、完型填空Ive been writing a book，John.

Russia has 20,000 to 35,000 wildfires and Australia has about 60,000 each year. These fires destroy（损害）huge areas of forests and burn hundreds of homes .Many experts believe there are several reasons for this sudden increase in fires. The first reason is climate（气候）change . In 2010, Russia had the hottest and driest summer with strong winds in a century. In just one month, 500 fires destroyed over 2,000 homes. Some people lost their lives .Traditional fire-fighting practices are another reason for the increase in fires. In America, firefighters used to quickly put out every fire as quickly as they could. They didnt allow the grass and trees to burn. As a result , today many forests have thicker vegetation（植被）which provides more fuel（燃料）for fires . So surprisingly, America has many more fires today partly because of its past fire-fighting practices.Scientists now understand that a fire can be a natural part of a healthy forest. As a result, countries like Australia allow some fires to burn naturally. The fire makes old trees thinner. This allows sunlight to reach the ground. As a result, fires help new trees to grow. Therefore , if a fire is not a serious threat（威胁）to people , firefighters may let it burn naturally .26 .

You dont need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads in their free time.In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong , people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that cant be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving (旋转的) door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.35 .

The event is to help people to pay attention to the disappearance of the worlds languages; many of them are disappearing each year. UNESCO sees this as a terrible fact.What happens when a language dies out? Something great is lost-not just sounds and marks but the way that people understand the world and communicate with each other. We keep different cultures and traditions through languages. Kill a language and all these are killed too.Through IMLD, more and more people come to realize he terrible situation and try to stop it.Googles 2018 Endangered (濒临灭绝的) Languages Project is a good example. Many speakers and protectors of endangered languages upload (上传) texts, audios and videos to the project website. They want to introduce the way that people communicate and express themselves around the world.The Myaamia Project is the same kind of effort to revive the language spoken by the Miami tribes (部落) of the United States. Project members work to encourage people to study and communicate with this language , which died out in the 1960s.These activities give life to those endangered languages. People who work to keep Languagesalive are not limited to the past. Many young people design apps and use social media to support their activities. They spread the word to save the world.So, while the problem of disappearing languages remains a very serious one, there is hope. We all have a special feeling of our mother language. This is why we should remember the wise words of late president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela: If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to a man in his own language，that goes to his heart.40 .
