Have you ever heard of Stonehenge( 巨石陣 )? These ancient huge stones have been standing on the Salisbury Plains(索爾茲伯平原 ) in England for thousands of years. Who build Stonehenge? Some people said that the ancient Greeks built it. Some people said that it was a site where UFO landed. It’s still a mystery.

However, it is clear that the first stones arrived at Stonehenge around the same time as the ancient Egyptians were building the pyramids. These stones can only be found in South Wales, nearly 150 miles away. It was a huge job to move these stones far from Wales because originally there were about 80 of them here at Stonehenge. And each of the stone weighs about forty tons. To move one of these forty-ton stones, we need at least 150 people.

However, building Stonehenge was much more difficult. It is not just simply one stone piled on to top of another, they’re joined together.

Though many of the stones have fallen, Stonehenge still attracts nearly five thousand tourists every day. And after nearly 5000 years Stonehenge is still standing. It is sure that Stonehenge has something to do with the summer and winter solstices (夏至日/冬至日). Nature may well know all the answers, but science has yet to prove its theories. It seems Stonehenge isn’t ready to tell all its secrets yet.

1.How did ancient people move these huge stones to the plain?

A. By air. B. By ship. C. By labor D. Unknown

2.Which of the following statement is true?

A. The scientists have already solved all the problems about Stonehenge.

B. It is easier to build Stonehenge than to transport there huge stones.

C. Some aliens build Stonehenge as a site to land their UFO.

D. Stonehenge showed the summer and winter solstices to ancient people.

3.Which is the best title for the passage?

A. An Egyptian Mystery. B. The Building of Stonehenge.

C. Answer of Nature. D. Stonehenge—An Ancient Secret.

閱讀下列短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容完成表格中所缺信息，每空一詞。

Now students’ English handwriting(書法)gets worse and worse. That makes their teachers feel worried. Is your English handwriting beautiful? If not, here are four steps that really work!

◆Use paper with lines

Using paper that has lines can stop you from writing up or down when you write English words or sentences. Be sure to fill the lined space completely. And make sure those capital letters(大寫字母) are written properly.

◆Slow down

If your writing is hard to read, try slowing down a little. For some kids, going slower makes the handwriting clear. If you write too fast, it’s difficult for you to stop where you should, and even worse, you may make more mistakes.

◆Hold your pencil right

When you hold your pencil the correct way, writing is much easier. Some kids press(按,壓) down really hard when they write. That makes the handwriting not nice. Try to relax yourself and don’t hold the pencil so hard. Let your writing appear nice and clean. If you do so, people will guess you are a student with a good habit.

◆Draw more pictures

Drawing can improve your handwriting. You need to use the skills to control your pencil better when you are drawing pictures. Even though you have no chance to draw at school, you can practice by yourself at home.

Handwriting is very important. Imagine you are a world-famous movie star or a well-known sports player, what do you do when your fans run up to you? Give them your autographs (親筆簽名), of course！

科目：初中英語 來源：北京市門頭溝區(qū)2018屆九年級(jí)6月綜合練習(xí)（二模）英語試卷 題型：閱讀單選

One day, I took an underground to work, I saw something that made me very sad.On the tube (underground in London), a mother kept looking at her phone screen and playing a game with her daughter sitting beside her. The little girl, about 5 years old,was talking to her mother about her day, repeating the next stop’s name cheerfully,praising her mother’s long nails — trying to catch her mother’s attention. Her mother just nodded and answered “Mm, hm” with her eyes glued to the screen, busy passing the levels of the game. I watched the girl give a final try to at least get her mum to look at her, but it was no use. Then the little girl turned silent. It was a shame the mother

didn’t notice that.

It broke my heart and got me wondering — what kind of game would make the mother forget she has the most beautiful thing in the world, the human she created, the person she loves with all her heart? What it meant when she couldn’t look into her daughter’s eyes and even stop to listen to the girl?

Some parents are almost like the teenagers, always on their phones with mindless games or going through WeChat. Perhaps parents have many things to deal with, but sometimes they are everything to their kids.

This is not an only example. I’ve seen too many such examples. I might not be a parent myself, and probably still have a long way before becoming one, but I know what I saw isn’t right.

The scene used to be seen among teenagers very often when parents complained how their children were crazy about their mobile phones. Look how the situation has changed! The parents have become “technology slaves (奴隸)”, that is to say, they can’t control themselves while using mobile phones. Now some middle-aged parents hold the best iPhones or Samsung phones, which are probably the only two brands they know. They are playing the simple games with so expensive mobile phones. I’m uncertain whether to laugh or to cry. But my hope is that this storm passes.

1.The little girl turned silent because she failed to _____.

A. stop to listen to her mum

B. catch her mother’s attention

C. know the brand of her mobile phone

D. control herself while using mobile phone

2.In the passage, the writer mainly wants to express _____.

A. the hope that parents use new technology properly

B. the happiness that parents can use modern technology

C. the sadness that parents have many things to deal with

D. the worries that children are crazy about mobile phones

3.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A. Technology Slaves B. Middle-aged Parents

C. A Scene on the Tube D. Mindless Phone Games

1.B 2.A 3.A 【解析】本文主要介紹了一些家長成為了“技術(shù)的奴隸”，在使用智能手機(jī)時(shí)，無法控制自己。他們忙于按手機(jī)屏幕，沒有時(shí)間與孩子交談。 1.B 推理判斷題。根據(jù)The little girl, about 5 years old,was talking to her mother about her day,和trying to catch her mo...
