任務(wù)型閱讀(每格限填一詞)。

On a Saturday afternoon, when you are enjoying ice cream in front of the TV or playing on the computer, what are kids at your age doing on the other side of the planet? Are they at school? What do they do for fun every day? Find out here:

1. Education

School is expensive for many African kids. Lots of families can’t afford school uniforms or exercise books even if they don’t have to pay for school.

For those are lucky enough to go to school, they have a lot to learn. Some take two language classes: English or French and their native language. There is also Math, Science, History, Social Studies, and Geography. Plenty of housework takes up much of kids’ time after school. They have to get water and firewood for the family every day. Then, there’s cleaning, washing and helping Mum with the meal.

2. Daily fun

It’s not all work and no play. Sports are very popular. Sport is great because kids do not need money to play.

Kids can make goals with twigs (嫩枝) and their own footballs with plastic and bits of strings (繩子). They play in the desert dust and the streets of old towns.

There’re many football teams for teenagers in Africa. The first kids’ football teams were set up in Kenya (肯尼亞) in 1987.

3. Internet

Egypt and South Africa are the top two users of the Internet in the continent. All of the capital cities in Africa can get on the Internet.

But fewer than one out of every 250 people in Africa can get on the Internet. It’s really expensive. To surf the net for 20 hours costs over 600 yuan. This is more than the average monthly pay per person.

Some schools offer computer lessons but few students can enjoy computer fun at home. South Africa Lesley Harrison, 12, wishes he had the Internet at home. “I could show my family lots of stuff. No one where I live even knows what the Internet is.”

We can make mistakes at any age．Some mistakes we make are about money．But most mistakes are about people．“Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?“When I got that great job，did Jim really feel good about it，as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?”“And why wasn’t Paul friendly just because I had a car?”When we look back，thoughts like these can make us feel bad．But when we look back，it’s too late．

Why do we go wrong about our friends? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning．And if we don’t really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words．Sometimes someone tells you，“You’re a lucky dog．”That’s friendly．But“l(fā)ucky dog”?There’s a bit of envy in those words．Maybe he doesn’t see it himself．But bringing in the“dog”puts you down a little．What he may be saying is that he does’t think that you can have such good luck．

‘‘Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for’’is another example that says one thing and means another．It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life．But is he? It’s telling you to think of all the hungry people in the whole world when you haven’t got a date(約會)for Saturday night．

How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking．Do his words fit the way he looks? Dose what he says agree with the tone(語調(diào))of voice? His posture(姿態(tài))? The look in his eyes? Stop and think．The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of the words may save another mistake．

1.This passage is mainly about ．

A.how to remember what people say

B.what to do when you listen to others talking

C.how to avoid mistakes when you communicate with people

D.how to watch people when they are talking

2.According to the writer，the reason why we go wrong about our friends is that ．

A.we fail to listen carefully when they talk

B.people will be angry when we check what they say

C.people usually say one thing but mean another

D.we like to doubt what our friends say

3.The underlined word“it”in the second paragraph means ．

A.being friendly B.a bit of envy

C.1ucky dog D.your luck

4.When we listen to a person talking，the most important thing for us to do is to ．

A.know the way the person is talking

B.take a good look at the person talking

C.notice his tone，his posture and the look in his eyes

D.understand the real meaning of what he says

科目：初中英語 來源：2017屆福建莆田市九年級12月考英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

If you look at the sky one night and see something moving and shining that you have never seen before, it might be a comet (彗星).

A comet sometimes looks like a star. Like a planet, a comet has no light of its own. It shines from the sunlight it reflects (反射). Like the earth a comet goes around the sun, but on a much longer path than the earth travels.

If a comet isn’t a star, what is it then?

Some scientists think that a large part of a comet is water frozen (凍) into pieces of ice and mixed with iron and rock dust and perhaps a few big pieces of rock. When sunshine melts (融化) the ice in the comet, great clouds of gas go trailing after it. These clouds, together with the dust, form a long tail.

Many people have seen a comet. However, no one knows how many comets there are. There may be millions of comets, but only a few come close enough for us to see.

An Englishman named Edmund Halley, who lived from 1656 to 1742, found out a lot about the paths that comets take through the sky. Some comets move out of our sight and never come back. Others keep coming back at regular times. A big comet that keeps coming back was named after Halley comet, because the last time it came close to the sun and the earth was in the year 1986. Then people all over the world were outside at night to look at it. You will probably be able to see Halley’s comet when it comes near the earth again.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從題中所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選擇最佳答案。

1.A comet is like.

A. the sun B. the moon

C. sunlight D. the earth
