But there are also some events that are not as popular. Some are even very strange.Tug-of-war(拔河比赛)This event started in 1900 and left the Olympics in 1920. The team wins if they pull the rope past a certain point first. Interestingly, more than one team from a country can enter this event. This makes it possible for one country to win several medals.Rope ClimbingIt first appeared as an Olympic sport in 1896. The climber who spends the shortest time reaching the top is the winner. The rope used to be 15 meters long. Years later, it was shortened to 8 meters,for some reason. After 1932, there was no rope climbing in the Olympics.Race WalkingIn race walking, walkers have to win the race by walking. To make sure that they do not run, race walkers must have one foot on the ground at all times. Race walking has been an Olympic sport since 1904. Men enter in 20-kilometer and 50-kilometer races; women only race 20 kilometers.九年级英语试卷第 3 页(共 10 页)Live Pigeon(鸽子) Shooting(射击)This event only appeared in the Olympics once, at the 1900Olympic games in Paris.

I waited for the bus to go to my English class at the bus stop.“Excuse me, what time is it?” said a voice in my ear. When I looked back over my shoulder, I was greeted by a ragged(衣衫褴褛的) man who looked like a poor worker. He was almost the same age as my elder brother, but his hair was messy and his working clothes were torn and old. A terrible smell made me take two steps back from him. I gave him a blank stare and answered his question unwillingly.“Thank you! Im just afraid of being late for work,” he explained in a low voice, I kept silent, nodding my head slightly.The bus finally reached the station, and I got on the bus. I reached into my pocket, and to my great surprise, it was completely empty! I was so embarrassed (尴尬) that Ijust froze, my face burning with shame. At that moment, a dark-colored arm reached out and put two coins into the coin box. “The money is for both of us!” a familiar voice rang in my ear. I raised my九年级英语试卷第 4 页(共 10 页)密 封 线 内 不 能 答 题B kept silentD took out two coins密 封 线 内 不 能 答 题head and realized it was him!My previous behavior passed through my mind, making me ashamed. “Thank you,” I said in a low voice, regretful and thankful. On hearing my words, he smiled. “You are welcome! You helped me, too.”I was touched. I looked at his hands. I noticed the calluses(老茧) and roughness on them, I realized the difficulty of his work. Although his hard work will break his appearance, itll neverbreak his warm heart and kind soul.24 The writer waited for a bus to .A go to work B have an English classC meet a worker D visit the elder brother25 The worker after the writer answered his question.A got on the busC explained in a low voice26 The writer was touched because .A the worker was warm-hearted to help othersB the worker was polite to ask questionsC the workers work was difficultD the worker looked very poorCIf youve ever taken a bus, youve probably found someonesleeping in the seat near you. Maybe this even happens to you. Youmight think you need more coffee, but it wont help much.The natural vibration (振动) of buses and subways makes usfeel sleepy, according to a new story in Science Alert.Why? Its all about the information going to your brain. On a bus, your senses give you continuous and repeating information. For example, the air conditioner and engine (引擎) create continuous white noise. At the same time, youre sitting still and the things around you dont change. The vibrations of the engine are also continuous. Your brain has almost no new information to deal with.The repeating information will make your brain enter a low-energy state. The fact that you fall asleep quickly when closing your eyes on a bus is because your brain gets used to all of it.“When youre tired, it doesnt take much to start nodding off. But weve found that as you drive, the gentle vibrations made by car seats can make you sleepy,” said Stephen Robinson, a researcher from the RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia.Robinsons team invited 15 volunteers to do a test. They were required to sit in a driving machine. And the researchers kept watching their HRV (心率变异度) a well-known indicator (标 志) of sleepiness. Over the course of two 60-minute periods, volunteers were tested once with vibrations and once without. In the period with vibrations, their HRVs were much lower compared with the period without vibrations. During 15 minutes, volunteers showed signs of sleepiness. During 30 minutes, that sleepiness was very easy to be noticed, increasing up until the end ofthe test.This line of research can offer help in the development of the car industry. Robinson believed the research could be helpful for improving road safety. “We hope that future car seats can be built to fight against vibration and to make the sleepiness weaker,” he said.27 According to the writer, ifyou dont want to sleep on a bus, you should _.A make your brain deal with new informationB drink more coffee before you take a busC keep listening to the continuous noiseD get used to the vibration of buses28 Robinsons team did a test and found that .A the researchers got the same result after the test with two periodsB the volunteers with low HRVs showed signs of sleepinessC the volunteers HRVs didnt change during the whole testD the volunteers HRVs increased up with vibrations29 What is the passage mainly about?A It shows the way people usually sit on the bus.B It describes a scientific test by Robinsons team.C It suggests improving road safety to car industry.D It explains what causes peoples sleepiness on buses.九年级英语试卷第 5 页(共 10 页) 九年级英语试卷第 6 页(共 10 页)B The advantages of its products.D The needs of its customers.B get much informationD enjoy self-growthDHave you ever paid for educational podcasts (播客) or livevideos? Ask some people and most of them will say yes. “Pay-for-knowledge” has been more and more fashionable these years. Thecontents of these “Pay-for-knowledge” products are from languagelearning to gardening or baby-caring. Everything you think of canbe found online at this moment. “Pay-for-knowledge” is on the rise.Why is “Pay-for-knowledge” industry developing so rapidly? First, its development is based on the Internet. With a fast network and a smartphone, anyone who has passed the identity (身份) check can be an online teacher, and anyone with an online account can buy “Pay-for-knowledge” products that he or she wants at an affordable price. Second, people are afraid to miss any information. On one hand, people hope for more useful information. On the other hand, such information is usually at the hands of experts (专家) who serve well-known companies and universities. Moreover, the need to learn new skills in todays job market also pushes people to learn on such educational podcasts.The industry of “Pay-for-knowledge” has proved to be lucrative. It promises possibilities of turning information into money. It is good for the development of our country and it can help sellers make lots of money. Besides, buyers can enjoy self-growth from it. This is also a reflection (反映) ofrespect for knowledge and talents.However, the rapid development of “Pay-for-knowledge” has a few problems. For one thing, the market is full of eye-catching words such as “How to Be an Industrys Expert in 5 Hours” and “15 Classes to Be a Master ofAppreciating (欣赏) Classical Music”, which sound like if you pay for it, you are sure to succeed. For another, a large number of customers buy them just for showing off. In fact, those who have really had self-growth after buying online courses may be the kind of people who need them least. In other words, with or without these courses, they can make it anyway, because they are those who have the ability to learn by themselves.In general, the best is the one that suits you most. “Pay-for-knowledge” may be used as a good start for self-growth. Be careful! Otherwise, your dream of success may not come true.九年级英语试卷第 7 页(共 10 页)30 What can we learn about “Pay-for-knowledge” industry from Paragraph 2?A The history of its development.C The causes of its rise.31 The words “be lucrative” in Paragraph 3 probably mean “ ”.A produce lots ofmoneyC win great respect32 According to the passage, we can know that .A “Pay-for-knowledge” products can help all the people succeedB “Pay-for-knowledge” products can offer people different kinds of coursesC People who can teach themselves need “Pay-for-knowledge” products mostD People must learn from experts who serve famous companies and universities33 What is the writers main purpose in writing this passage?A To show the problems ofthe “Pay-for-knowledge” products.B To advise everyone to learn knowledge by themselves online.C To remind people to choose “Pay-for-knowle
