浙江省新目标〔Go for it〕版初中英语九年级上学期期中模拟试卷〔7〕
一、阅读理解
1.阅读理解
Dear Joe,
    I wrote you the letter to tell you about what the world used to be like when I was young. Life used to be very different then. We didn't have cell phones when we wanted to talk to our friends. We didn't have e mails either, so we had to write letters.
    When we traveled from town to town, we used to walk or ride horses or take a cart(马车). Later we had buses and very few people had cars. Air travel was a luxury and we used to dream of riding on an airplane but now everyone does. It's so common.
    Food is another big difference. There weren't any supermarkets so we used to grow our own food. We would exchange some with people from other towns to buy the things we didn't have. We didn't have a refrigerator(冰箱)so we kept things cool in a special room downstairs.
    But the biggest difference is electricity. We didn't have any in our town! At night, we used to light candles when we wanted light and we burned coal(煤)or wood to keep warm. We didn't have television. In summer, we used to go swimming in the river.
    Life used to be very different, but we were happy.
Love,
Grandpa

    Do you still remember the great snacks(小吃) in your childhood? Do they remind you of your happy childhood?
    Sugar Figure(糖人)
    In the old days, you could always find people who made sugar figures at the school gate. First, the maker would take a little maltose(麦 芽糖) with a small spoon, using his hands to make a figure, such as the Monkey King， the White Dragonet, and so on. It was not expensive, only 1 yuan for one. If one child bought a sugar figure, many other children would crowd around and admire him.

    Baby Face Ice-cream
    We prefer to call it snowman ice-cream. It tastes very delicious. It was rather expensive, I remember the price was 2 yuan for each piece, which was not easy for me to buy them in those days. Each time I got one, the happiness would last for several days.

    One Thursday afternoon, when I was in Grade 9, a new boy came into my classroom. He was short and thin. He walked up to the teacher and told her, very seriously, that he was new. His name was Christian. He sat down, took a look at me, and then looked away. I didn't think he was very nice and I was sure he wasn't the type I would like to become friends with.
    During that year, I didn't talk to him much, but he smiled at me when our eyes met, always shyly. He never ate lunch with anybody, and he never talked to anybody but me.
    But one day I joined those unkind kids who were making fun of him. We made fun of him though I thought it was wrong.
    "Haven't you got any friends?" a kid asked Christian, who had walked past us alone, head down.
    "No, he hasn't got any friends. He's too stupid and shy," I said. Then Christian looked up at me with the saddest dog eyes I had ever seen. I felt very sorry at that moment.
    That night, I couldn't sleep because I couldn't get Christian's face out of my mind. In the weeks that followed, he never met my eyes in class and never smiled at me. It was really hard for me to decide to write him a note asking him to forgive (原谅) me. But I thought I should.
    The next day in class, I wrote him a note telling him how sorry I felt. About five minutes later, I turned and saw tears in his eyes. "You will never realize what your apology (抱歉) has meant to me, Jimmy," he said to me. "I hope we can become friends."
    We had lunch together that noon and we had the best talk I had ever had. Over the years at high school, we were close friends.
    When I think back, I realize that, if I had not apologized, I would never have known what a lovely person Christian was!
    Apologies can really change your life, so never miss the chance to tell somebody you are sorry.
〔1〕From the passage, we know Christian was a ________ boy.
A.tall and fat
B.short and shy
C.short and active
D.lovely and fat
〔2〕Jimmy felt ________ after he made fun of Christian with other unkind kids.
A.happy
B.interested
C.sorry
D.bored
〔3〕This passage tells us that ________.

Sometimes I can't express myself clearly in writing. I often find it hard to remember more difficult words. At last, I have some suggestions for English teaching as well. I think teachers should communicate with us in English when they are in class.
