Grammar is the way a language works. People sometimes describe grammar as the “rules” of a language; but in fact no natural languages have rules. If we use the word “rules”, we believe that some people have made the rules first and now people speak the language, like a new game. But languages did not start like that. Languages were started by people making sounds which gradually(渐渐地) changed into words, phrases, and sentences. No commonly-spoken language is fixed. All languages change over time.              

What we call grammar is simply a description(描述) of a language at a particular time.

Do we need to study grammar to learn a language? The answer is “No”. Many people in the world speak their mother language without having studied its grammar. Children start to speak before they even know the word “grammar”. But if you are serious about learning a foreign language, the long answer is “Yes, grammar can help you to learn a language more quickly.” It’s important to think of grammar as something that can help you, like a friend. When you understand the grammar of a language, you can understand many things yourself, without having to ask a teacher or look in a book.

So think of grammar as something good, something helpful, something that you can use to find your way like a signpost(路标) or a map.

1.  The writer of this passage believes that if grammar is described as “rules”, it would mean that ____.

   A. language is not a new game              B. language goes before grammar

   C. rules are fixed by language               D. rules must be made to speak the language

2. In the first paragraph, we can see that ________.

A. grammar should be changed at a particular time  

B. grammar must be simple to describe a language

C. languages were formed by people now and then 

D. language is changing, and its grammar is changing too

3. The writer thinks that grammar helps when ________.

A. we learn a foreign language             B. we ask someone to make rules

C. we speak our native language            D. we look up something in a book

4. Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?

A. Grammar Is the Rules of a Language     B. The Change of Language

 C. Grammar Is Your Friend                D. How to Study Grammar

C

六、阅读填空  先通读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容，在文章后表格的空格内填入一个最恰当的单词。所填单词必须写在答题卡对应题号的横线上，每个空格只能填一个单词。

It seems that a family just isn’t complete without a pet. But if pets aren’t suitable to a family’s lifestyle or environment, they can quickly lead to problems such as stress or arguments (争执). To save yourself and your family such problems, treat this decision seriously.
    When choosing a pet, people must consider the family’s health. Many people are allergic (过敏的) to cats and dogs. Perhaps a dog or cat with short hair will be fine. And a dog might not be the best choice for a child who is naughty（调皮的）because the dog might bite him or her. Some people can also have problems with certain pets. It’s a good idea to spend a little time with the pet around each member of the family before making your decision.
    Consider the quality of life of the pet, too. If a pet is used to having space to run around, it can quickly develop psychological (心理的) problems when it is kept in a small flat all day. If pets are allowed to run about in areas with lots of cars and buses, they can meet an early end. Cats shouldn’t be brought into homes that already have large dogs because they won’t be able to friendly to each other.
    The decision as to what kind of pet to choose is very important. If you find the right one to suit everyone in the family and their lifestyle, then it’s time to choose one. Remember that your decision is important because it can have influences that last for many years.

八。Good morning, everyone!

I’m Wei Hua from Class 1, Grade 9. I’m happy to be here to share my ideas. I think happiness is achieved through hard work.

Firstly, helping others will make us feel happy. For example, we should give our seats to the elderly when we take a bus. After we see their smiling faces, we must be happier too.Secondly, healthy bodies can bring us happiness. Health is important to everyone. Only when we keep healthy, we can work and study happily. So we should keep doing exercise every day. Thirdly, knowledge makes our life colorful and interesting. In our free time, we are willing to learn different kinds of skills (like computer and art) so that we can serve the society better. Finally, the beautiful environment gives us a comfortable feeling. We should plant more trees to protect the environment. We also work as volunteers and clean up the parks.

That’s all. Thank you!
