Do you want to spend a holiday in space? Dennis Tito, a businessman, has become the world’s first “space tourist”. He went on a 10-day visit to the International Space Station. He paid 14 million pounds for his journey. A year later, Martin, a musician from an American band, wanted to do the same. He was only 22 years old and probably very rich too. He had to go for a lot of training to see whether he was fit enough to travel. He is still waiting for his holiday of a lifetime.

Many people believe that this is only the start of something new. We made interviews among teenagers from around the world and the following is what they said about space travel.

“It’s a great idea. I hope space travel will be common in about 50 years’ time. I’d really love to do it and I think Mr. Tito was very lucky.” (Kate from Australia)

“I would like to see our beautiful Earth from space. There are lots of secrets to explore in space and I would go into space if I could.” (Ben from China)

“I think space travel is really bad for the environment. Maybe in the future they will make a cleaner way of travelling but until they do, I don’t want to go. We should look after our own planet first.”(Richard from Canada)

“It must be very boring and dangerous to sit in that small space shuttle(艙). I’d rather take a plane and go to another place on earth.” (Lisa from the UK)

So, as you can see, many of our teenagers had different opinions. Whether you like it or not, space travel is going to become an important thing in the future. We are looking forward to hearing your opinions.

閱讀短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項。

Some of the greatest problems we face today are the destruction (破壞) of our environment． Brown clouds, polluted water, endangered wild animals．．, these problems seem so huge．

So my family does what we can． We take cloth bags to stores instead of using plastic bags． We walk where we don't have to drive．．．

But does it do any good? When I am the only one in line at the market with cloth bags, am I doing any good? Does my walking to stores make any real difference to the world?

I recently learned something about flamingos (火烈鳥) which like to get together in groups of a thousand or more． Every year, when the time comes for migration (遷徙), a few of them first takeoff from the lake． But none of the others seem to notice, so the small group returns．

However, the next day they try again． This time few more fly along with them, but most of them still pay no attention, so they return again． They try for several times． Every time a few more birds join in but, since the thousands of others still take no notice, the great migration plan is once more stopped．

Then one day something changes． The same small group of birds once again starts flying and a small number more join in just as before, then more． Finally, they all take flight and the migration really begins．

What a spectacular sight it must be—thousands of flamingos taking off into the sky at once!

A few can make a difference． Even if you're the one to take the first step, and continue trying, others will someday take notice and together we will solve even our greatest problems．

1.Why does the writer use cloth bags in stores?

A．Because he wants to do some good to the environment．

B．Because he thinks plastic bags are more expensive．

C．Because there are only cloth bags in stores．

D．Because all the people use cloth bags in stores．

2.Why does the small group of flamingos return to the lake?

A．Because they are very tired．

B．Because there are some dangerous animals．

C．Because they can’t find food out there．

D．Because the others don’t fly along with them．

3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．The writer and his family never walk．

B．Flamingos like to get together in groups of a thousand or more．

C．Brown clouds and polluted water are the only problems we face today．

D．Flamingos never travel to other places every year．

4.What can we know from Paragraph 3?

A．The writer thinks everyone should do that．

B．There are many ways to solve the problems today．

科目：初中英語 來源：2014-2015學年浙江臺州市九年級上學期10月月考英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Should we be afraid of sharks? Maybe not. New research into the reasons for shark attacks (攻擊) suggests that sharks don’t like the way humans taste! In fact, most people who are attacked by the shark are still alive after receiving only one bite (咬). Why is this?

There are many opinions to explain why sharks sometimes attack people. One opinion is that sharks are just curious (好奇的). We know that sharks are the strongest animals in their environment, so they are not afraid of anything. Naturally, that means they are curious when they meet something unusual. Because they don’t have hands or feet., the only way they can find out an object is to bite it! It is thought that sharks sometimes bite humans for this reason, and then swim away.

Scientists also say that sharks would not waste energy trying to eat a human, as we have a lot of bones (骨頭). It is hard for a shark to eat us because sharks don’t have hands, and they can’t pull the meat off our bones. Maybe that’s why they only bite us once. Unluckily, one bite from a large shark is serious enough to hurt people greatly!

Another opinion is that sharks attack humans by mistake. Some sharks may sometimes mistake humans for a seal. An example of this is when a shark attacks a surfer. A surfer lying on a surfboard looks like a seal when seen from below. Sharks like seals because they have thick fat.

Whatever the reason for shark attacks on humans, sharks should be afraid of us. Sadly, we kill almost 40 million of them each year.

1.What happens to people attacked by sharks?

A. Most of them become blind.

B. Most of them become deaf.

C. Most of them died.

D. Most of them are still alive.

2.How do sharks find out about an unusual object according to the passage?

A. By biting.

B. By smelling.

C. By touching.

D. By killing.

3.Which sentence about sharks is true?

A. Sharks pull meat off bones when they eat.

B. Sharks might mistake humans for seals.

C. Sharks like to attack surfers because of their thick fat.

D. One bite from a shark is nothing serious.

4.What would the author（作者） write the passage mainly for?

A. To tell surfers to stay away from sharks.

B. To ask people to kill sharks.

C. To tell us why sharks attack people.

D. To show that humans are much stronger than sharks.
