The king asked his daughter how much she loved him. She said that she loved him as much as she loved salt. Her answer upset the king. Salt is a 46 thing, and it is very common. So the king thought his daughter didn't care about him. But the king was wrong. Salt might be common, but it is very important. Salt has caused wars and revolutions 47 history. So why do people care so much about salt?‎ Salt has many uses. Our bodies need salt. Ifwe don't have enough, our muscles, nerves and organs can't function 48 . We put salt on icy roads to make them safe. We also use salt to produce other products.‎ Products like plastic, paper. glass, rubber and soap 49 salt.

Salt takes in large amounts of water, so most bacteria cannot live in a salty environment. As a result, salt has the ability to preserve almost anything. For much of human history, this ability has made salt treasured and indispensable. Every 51 culture from Egypt to China rely on salt. Even today, we 52 hardworking, useful people to salt by calling them "the salt of the earth".‎ Since almost everyone needed salt, the salt trade was an important 53 . Salt could even be used like money. In fact, the word salary comes from the word salt. And valuable people are still said to be "worth their salt." Today, salt is easy to get. It is no longer expensive, but it is still both important and useful.‎ IV. Complete the sentences with the given words in their proper forms（用括号中所给单词 的适当形式完成下列句子) (共8分)‎ ‎54.

Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage（选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文)（12分） ‎ Shops have all kinds of tricks to get you in their doors, or on their websites, and spending. They are like traps to catch you, the buyer. If you know what those traps are, you can avoid falling into them.‎ ‎ Loss Leaders (亏本促销商品)‎ ‎ Step one is to get you into the shop. The 75 that they do this is by advertising a product that you need at a crazy low price. The price might even be below cost.

I had no chance to repair it as I had an extremely high workload. As I often travel for work, I am r 81 home long enough to allow repairmen to come and work.‎ ‎ After traveling all week, I was tired and happy to be home. I didn't think anything of the door which led from the garage to the house being open. As soon as I entered the kitchen, I knew something was w 82 . Smashed ceramics (粉碎的陶瓷) were lying across the floor and my set of Japanese kitchen knives were gone. As I looked over the messy place, I found the upstairs bathroom door closed I knew I couldn't hesitate. 1 r 83 back to the garage and grabbed the nearest heavy object, a hammer.‎ ‎ As I crept back into the kitchen, I heard footsteps coming down the stairs. I raised the hammer above my head. As soon as the robber, who was wearing a motorcycle helmet (头盔), stepped down from the last step, I didn't give him the chance to a 84 me. I swung the hammer as hard as I could into his helmet. He fell to the ground yelping aloud and dropping the sports bag which he had been filling with the valuables from my house. After a moment, he jumped up and ran past me towards the garage door. After he had left, I was still very shaken with f 85 as someone had broken into my house. After passing through the rooms of the house three times, I felt s 86 that nobody else was there. At that point I laid the hammer down in the kitchen and called the police.‎ When the police heard I had stayed at the house and struck the robber with a hammer, they told me that I shouldn't play a role as a h 87 if I thought someone had broken into my house. Instead, I should exit the house and call the police from a safe place.‎ D．Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）（12分）‎ Agatha Christie was one of the greatest British crime writers. She introduced the public to her literary character, the famous Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot in her crime novel in 1920. In total she wrote 66 detective novels and 14 short story collections, a billion copies of which have been sold m English. Her books have been translated into many different languages, including Chinese.‎ ‎ Each story she wrote involved a mystery that had to be solved, but perhaps the greatest mystery is where she went for those l l days. At the time of her disappearance in 1926, she was 36 years old and married to Archibald Christie. Her mother had died in the beginning of that year and her husband had left her alone to deal with her mother's death. So she was very lonely and it seemed as if she might not be coping well emotionally.‎ ‎ In the middle of that year, her latest book was published and the book reviews loved it! Unluckily, soon after her book was published, her husband told her he was having an affair with a young woman and was going away for the weekend to be with her. On Friday, the 3rd of December 1926, Agatha Christie kissed her daughter who was asleep upstairs and drove away from the house. Her car was later found abandoned（被遗弃的）on an empty road near a lake and so people began the search for the talented writer. It was l l days later before someone recognized Agatha at a spa hotel in Harrogate. She had been living there using another name all that time. On her return, she never said much about what had happened.‎ ‎ Over the years, many people guessed why she disappeared. Some people said that she was upset with her husband and lost her memory as he was having an affair. A few people even thought that it was a publicity（宣传）trick to make sure that her newly-published book would sell well.‎ ‎ To this day no one knows for sure what happened and why. While books and even a movie have been made about the mysterious l l days, it would seem that even the great detective Hercule Poirot would not be able to solve this mystery!‎ ‎88. Who was Hercule Poirot?‎ ‎89. What facts do we know that Agatha's books have been known to the world?‎ ‎90. Why did Agatha feel lonely in the beginning of 1926?‎ ‎91. What was the date when Agatha drove away from her home?‎ ‎92. People didn't recognize Agatha when she had been at a spa hotel for 11 days, did they?‎ ‎93. Do you think Agatha's missing was a publicity trick? Give your reason(s)!‎ ‎ VII. Writing（作文）（共20分）‎ Ⅶ. Writing (作文) (共20分)‎ ‎94. Write at least 60 words on the topic “That time, I really felt worried”（请以“那一次，我真的感到很担心”为题，写一篇不少于60个词的短文，标点符号不占格。）‎ ‎ ‎ 在你的学习和生活中，你一定解决过一度令你感到担心的事情。请你描述担心的事情是什么、为什么担心以及最后又如何解决的。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（注意：文中不得出现考生的姓名、校名及其他相关信息，否则不予评分。）‎ ‎2019.1 长宁区初三英语第一学期期末质量抽查卷 听力原文与参考答案 Part I I. ‎ A. ‎ ‎1.

Every class was like a bad dream. The teacher spoke too quickly. But I was afraid to ask questions because my pronunciation was very bad. So I just hid behind my textbook and never said anything. Then one day I watched an English movie called Toy Story. I fell in love with this exciting and funny movie! So then I began to watch other English movies as well. Although I could not understand everything the characters said, their body. language and the expressions on their faces helped me to get the meaning. I also realized I could get the meaning by listening for just the key words. My pronunciation also improved by listening to the interesting conversations in English movies. I discovered that listening to something you are interested in is the secret to language learning. I also learned useful sentences like "It's a piece of cake" or "It serves you right." I did not understand these sentences at first. But because I wanted to understand the story, I looked up the words in a dictionary. Now I really enjoy my English class. I want to learn new words and more grammar. Then I can have a better understanding of English movies.‎ D. ‎ Some collecting hobbies are very strange! There are people who collect very strange things as a hobby. One man in England collects milk bottles. He has thousands all over his house. His teenage daughter even has them on shelves in her bedroom! He has collected them from all around the world and has them sorted into groups. There is also a doctor who collects old medical equipment. He has old saws, knives and needles which were used before modern technology improved. A dentist in America began collecting tubes of toothpaste. He has over 1,400 tubes in his collection. The tubes are put into groups according to where they come from. Another extreme collector is a lady in China who collects pencil sharpeners. She has over 800 from all around the world. They make a bright and colourful collection. In England an old lady has been collecting items about the British royal family. Every room in her home is filled with dolls, teacups and plates and other items all with pictures of members of the royal family. There are many weird collecting hobbies. Sometimes they develop into very big and extreme collections. Some of them are even recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records.‎ Part 1 Listening ‎1. F 2. C 3. H 4. A 5. D 6. G ‎7. A 8. C 9.
