Part 1 Reading and Writing (第三部分，读写）

A. Choose the best answer (12 分)

It may help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech. At some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned. Luckily, such moments are usually not obvious to the listeners. Why? Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say. They hear only what the speaker does say. If you lose your place for a moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain point, no one will notice that. When such moments happen, don't worry about them. Just continue as if nothing has happened.

Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that doesn't really matter. If you have ever listened to Martin Luther King’s famous speech—“I have a Dream”，you may notice that stumble(结巴)over his words twice during the speech. Most likely, however, you don’t remember, Why? Because you were more interested in his message than in his way of speech-making.

People care a lot about making a mistake in a speech because they think making a speech is a kind of performance rather than an act of communication. They feel the listener are like judges in an ice-skating competition. But, in fact, the listeners are not looking for a perfect performer. They are looking for a speech that expresses the speaker’s ideas clearly and simply. Sometimes a mistake or two can, in fact, increase a speaker’s attractiveness by making him more human.

didn’t know the book would be worth 51 $ 1000000! Unluckily, When he showed the book to his wife, he accidentally tore the cover! Ouch!

The precious comic book Gonzalez found was Action Comics No.l. It was 52 in June 1938. Do you know who the hero of the book is? It is the man we all love-—Superman! For this reason, this book is considered to be the first super-hero comic.

The first version (版本) of Action Comics No.1 had been printed about 200,000 copies, which sold out fast.

In 2008, China opened its doors to the world with the Beijing Olympics. This was followed by the Paralympics for disabled athletes, including the visually impaired. For the duration of the Paralympics, guide dogs, which act as the e 56 of the blind, were welcomed everywhere, including the Beijing Metro. But the open door policy for guide dogs on the Metro was closed soon after the Paralympics e 57 . 7 / 10

牛津沪教版英语九年级上期末综合练习

Today, the doors are still closed even though a national law says the blind have a r 58 to take their guide dogs with them on public transportation. The Beijing Metro is now being pressured to follow the example of other Chinese cities, and change their policy and their attitude!

Guide dogs are not pets, but many people have not been educated about the difference. Guide dogs are working dogs that have been s 59 trained to help the blind get from place to place and do normal things like shopping and going to work. In other words, they enable the blind to lead i 60 lives.

Perhaps one of the reasons why doors are still closed to guide dogs is that there are so f 61 of them. There are only sixteen in Shanghai, while in the United States there are ten thousand. This means that most people are u 62 of the guide dogs’ function. All they see is a dog, and dogs are not allowed in shops, restaurants and on public transportation. Please open the doors for guide dogs! D. Answer the questions: (12分)

Once upon a time, a well-known painter was finishing his painting while standing on the roof of a tall building. It was an extremely beautiful painting. The painter spent day and night painting it with all his great skills. After he had finished it, he was deeply attracted by it. He unconsciously took a few steps backward while admiring his own painting. He didn’t look back and kept on stepping back until he was a step away from the edge of the tall building. Just one more step backward and he would have fallen to his death. People nearby held their breath and didn’t dare to say anything. Suddenly, a man who was standing nearby saw it and was going to shout at him to warn him but he realized that his shout might surprise the painter and thus cause him to step backward and fall down. The man kept calm and came up with a good idea. Instead, he took a brush and began to paint on the beautiful painting until it was completely damaged.

Seeing how badly damaged his painting was, the painter got so angry that he moved forward to stop the man. He even wanted to beat the man to death. However, some other people who were also present held him and told him the truth.
