三、阅读理解（共40分）
When were the cameras invented Let’s go into the past. In the 1500s, men made experiments (试验) on cameras that made images. But it was not until the early 1800s that someone found a way to make the pictures permanent (永久的). Then photography was a new technology. Most families couldn’t take pictures themselves. They would turn to a photographer. People didn’t have their own cameras because it was too difficult to take pictures and develop the film (冲洗胶片).
In 1884, George Eastman invented a kind of film that fitted back to a small camera to change photography and the new film was easy to use for many people, so they began to buy cameras. When they had used up (用完) their films, people sent their cameras back to the factory. The film was developed in the factory and helped print pictures. Then more and more people could use the cameras and film.
Eastman’s invention made it easy to take photos. Today’s cameras are even easier to use and people can put in films themselves. Taking photo has become a growing hobby.
There are also many new jobs in the field such as newspapers, magazines and televisions. They all need pictures to tell their stories well. With the help of photographers, scientists can take pictures through microscopes (显微镜) and telescopes (望远镜). Deep-sea divers take pictures of ocean plants and animals, while astronauts take their cameras into space.

“Do you know Macao was never my real name I have been away from you for too long, mother…”
Song of the Seven Sons-Macao, written by Wen Yiduo in 1925, is still in the hearts of Macao’s teenagers today. The Basic Law of Macao Special Administrative Region (《中华人民共和国澳门特别行政区基本法》) came out in 1993 and started to work on Dec. 20, 1999, as Macao returned to China. From then on, it has become much easier for young people to build a closer relationship with their motherland.
Chan U, an 18-year-old, is studying at the University of Macao. She said “Traveling to the Chinese mainland (大陆) has become easier. Visits to Zhuhai have become a part of the daily life of some people.” Kun Lot U, 25, studies at the South China University of Technology. She said “Many local people go to Zhuhai to buy vegetables as they are fresher and cheaper than those in local markets. Young people often go to Zhuhai to play jubensha, a role-playing game.”
The number of trips out of Macao in January was 2.23 million, and most of them went to the Chinese mainland. Cities like Chongqing, Changsha and Hangzhou are popular places for young people, according to Chan. Guangdong is also a good choice since the language and food are similar.
“Young people in Macao care a lot about what’s happening on the mainland,” said Kun. Like the young people on the mainland, they also use apps from the mainland to know the hot issues (话题). They have learned many mainland Internet catchphrases (流行语). “I know about the most popular ones such as ‘yyds’,” said Kun. “They make us understand more about people and life on the mainland.”
More than half of the people in Macao use online shopping apps from the mainland. Kun said that it’s because they can find almost everything they need at good prices on the apps. The products are first shipped to a collection station in Macao. It usually takes about three to seven days for local people to get the products. “The connection between Macao and the motherland is getting stronger and stronger.” said Chan.

A．Because of the weather. B．Because there are a lot of fun places.
C．Because they have similar language and food. D．Because there are many people from Macao.
39．What can we learn from the passage
A．Many people in Macao use the apps from the mainland.
B．In January, 2. 23 million people in Macao went to the Chinese mainland.
C．Jubensha is a ball game that is loved by young people in Macao.
D．Everyone in Macao likes shopping on the Internet.

Some English expressions have something to do with clothes. 51 you noticed them Let’s have a look! People wear pants to cover 52 bodies. When somebody is nervous, we can say “he has ants(蚂蚁)in his pants”. In every family, one person always takes control. Sometimes a 53 tells her husband what to do. Then we say “she wears the pants in the family”. Pants usually have pockets to hold things. If one spends his money 54 , we may say “he burns a hole in his pocket”. Please don’t do 55 this!
If a person saves his money and does not spend too much, he will be 56 in the future. If a person sticks to his dream and he may be 57 at last. We should “take our hats off” to them.
Mr. Brad is an important person. He runs a big company. He wears a suit and tie, and a shirt with sleeves(袖子) 58 cover his arms. 59 that makes him look cool and strict, we know he shows his feelings openly to everyone. Then we can say “he wears his heart on his sleeve”. We know for certain it’s easy to get along well with this kind of person.

（本题10分）Farmer John and Farmer Bob were neighbors. For more than 30 years, they had been getting along very well.
Then their good relationship broke. It began with a small thing, then bitter (尖刻的) words, and then weeks of silence. One morning Farmer John woke up to find a stream (小溪) between the two farms. “It must be Bob,” John thought.
Then one day there was a knock on John’s door. He opened it to find a carpenter (木匠) standing at the doorway.
“I’m looking for a few days’ work,” the carpenter said.
“I do have a job for you,” John said. “Look across the stream at that farm. That’s my neighbour Bob. He dug a stream between the two farms. I want you to build a fence — an 8-foot fence. I don’t want to see his place or his face any more. I don’t have such a neighbour!”
The carpenter said, “I think I know what to do, sir, and I’ll be able to do a job that makes you satisfied.”
Farmer John helped the carpenter get the materials ready and then he was off for the day.
At about sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job. The farmer’s eyes opened wide. There was no fence there at all!
It was a bridge! And the neighbour, Bob, was coming across, with his hand outstretched (伸出) . “Hi, John! You’re quite a fellow (朋友) to build this bridge!”
Then they met in the middle, taking each other’s hands. “I’m terribly sorry for what I have said and done. We should be good to each other.” said Farmer Bob.
Then they turned to see the carpenter, who was ready to go. “No, wait! Stay a few days. I have a lot of other jobs for you,” said Farmer John. “I’d love to stay,” the carpenter said, “but I have more bridges to build.”

Great Changes in My Growth
How time flies! I have been a student of Grade Nine. And many changes have happened to me.
In the past, I was short. Now I am taller. I used to have long hair. Now I have short hair. I used to be very shy. Now I am very popular in school. I dare to sing in front of the whole school, and I have made some friends.
I used to be less interested in studying. Sometimes, I was absent from classes to play computer games. And I failed the exams. Now I know that my parents are always thinking of me and are proud of every good thing I do. I study harder than before. I used to dislike English class, and I was afraid to ask questions. I hid behind the book in class and said nothing. Now I fall in love with English. I listen carefully in class, take notes, and look up the dictionary. I can often get good grades.
I hope I can be a better man in the future.
