2025年广东省茂名市初三上学期三检英语试卷

1、  语篇翻译  阅读下面的短文，将划线部分译成英文或中文。

Reading an English newspaper is a good way to improve a student’s language ability. As there are many useful and common words in an English newspaper, it may help students increase their vocabulary（词汇量）as well as improve their reading skills. 66.他们可以从报纸上学到新的知识。 But what is the proper way to read an English newspaper? Do students need to look over all the content（内容）of the newspaper?

The first step is to choose a right newspaper with good language. Then turn to the front page and read the headlines（标题）to know what has happened. As the most important things are put on the front page, it’s easy to find out what you’re interested in and then turn to the page to read it completely. 67 .There is no need to go through all the articles.

Secondly, read newspapers every day. Remember words through context（上下文）, in which these words may appear repeatedly. 68. Once they appear several times, you will remember them easily. Don’t look up every unknown word in your dictionary. You can try to guess the meaning between sentences. 69.如果你的猜测错了，不要放弃。   Keep reading, and you will become familiar with the words after reading them several times in different texts.

Reading English newspapers makes us knowledgeable. 70 .It can not only help us know what is happening in the world but also improve our language.

24、My sister Alli and I have been trying to get people to stop dropping cigarette butts(烟蒂) for seven years. One day, we were walking in our hometown and saw hundreds of cigarette butts on the ground. They made the town look so ugly that we decided to start a group to make people stop dropping butts. We called it “No Butts About It”. At first, we drew pictures with “The Earth is Not Your Ashtray(烟灰缸)” written on them. We put the pictures around our hometown---in parks, by beaches, and along roads. We wanted to make people understand that dropping butts hurts the environment. Most smokers don’t think that dropping butts hurts the earth. But it does! All rubbish does. Later, we wrote to companies and asked them for money to help us. We used the money to buy ashtrays to give smokers. We wanted smokers to carry the ashtrays with them so they didn’t have to drop butts. At the moment, we are trying to get cigarette companies to put an ashtray in each pack of cigarettes. Some companies want to do it.

Many people have started to join our group since it began. Today there are 45 other “No Butts About It” groups in America. And there are even groups in England, Australia and India! Many newspapers have written about my sister and I over the last seven years. And we have won many prizes for our good work.

But we are not interested in prizes. We just want to make the earth a better and cleaner place for animals, plants and people. One day it will be.

【1】Why did they start the group?

A. Because they don’t like cigarette. 

B. Because they want to make money.

26、   I walked quickly out of my church. It was late. My dad was waiting. I stared at the parking lot. Then I saw my dad's little red Honda. "Get in! Get in! Why are you so late all the time?"

The ride home was not much more than five minutes but each minute moved slowly. We were stuck behind an old man. He wasn't going more than 15 kilometers an hour. My dad started to shout, "Learn how to drive, Grandpa!" He hit the steering wheel(方向盘) with his hands. He was really angry.

"Dad, stop it. Why do you always…?" He cut me off, "I'd not get stuck at the light because of this fellow!" The older man got to the light just as it was changing. "You're free! Drive away quickly," I thought. I looked over my dad. "Can you believe that, Stephen? I get stuck at every light. There are so many stupid drivers out there," he said angrily.

Who gives him the right to shout at someone? Anger built inside me. "What if I shouted at my friends when they asked me for help?" I said. I looked out of the window, trying to catch my breath.

"You know, Stephen, I think you are going to be a psychologist(心理学家)," he said. I remember the last time I tried to say something, he had fumed, "Don't tell me how to drive! If I want your opinion, I'll ask for it! Think about what you say before you talk."

Usually, he'd be angry that I would doubt his authority (权威), but this time, he accepted what I had said. A sense of pride rose up in me. It had been a short drive, but it had been the best car ride of my life.

27、The size and shape of your ears show your character more than any other part of the face. Other parts of the face change shapes as we get older, but ears do not change their shapes. They only change in size.

Reading people’s character from their ears is a very old science. In the past people thought that a person’s ears with colour was dangerous. They also thought that the shape of the ears showed if a person was musical or not. Today, too many people believe that the size and shape of the ears help you know if a person is musical.

Ears are all different, and each different thing has a meaning. Next time you look at a person, see if his or her ears are large, medium-size, or small. Look at the lobes (耳垂). Do they stick to the face? Ears that are always red mean that a person may get angry easily. Ears that are always cold and nearly white colour mean that a person has a nervous (神经质) character.

【1】Reading people’s character from their ears is ________.

A．only for music

B．an old idea

C．very new

D．a good way to talk with others

【2】When one’s ears are red, it means ________.

A．he is a kind man

B．he is very happy

C．he may get angry easily

D．he drinks too much

【3】If you look at someone’s ears, the right way is ________.

A．to look at his face, ears and nose

B．to look at the size, colour, and shape

C．to look at his mouth, eyes and nose

D．to look at the hair, eyes and colour

【4】Which may be the best title of the article?

28、

Darius and Johntel have a lot in common. They both like basketball and are both captains of their school teams. Last month, they played a basketball game. Just hours b【1】 the match, Johntel’s mother lost her battle with cancer(癌症)suddenly. Johntel’s coach wanted to call off the game. But Johntel suggested the game should be played, so with h【2】 hearts his teammates prepared to play.

What they weren’t prepared for was Johntel’s appearance in the gym. The moment they saw him, the players and f【3】 came to offer him love and support. Johntel wanted to play. Of course his teammates were happy to have him. But Johntel wasn’t on the pre-game list. If they put him in the game, they would r【4】 a technical foul(技术犯规) and the other team would get two free throws. Johntel’s coach accepted that and encouraged Johntel to play. He could see that this was the boy’s w【5】 of dealing with his pain -- the point was not important.

The other team told the referees(裁判) to let Johntel play and forget the rule. But the referees said that a rule is a rule. Then Darius volunteered to take the free throws. He just shot the ball carelessly t【6】 . It meant he gave up two points. All the people were moved by his behavior.“I did it for the guy who lost his mon” Darius said after the game. “It was the right thing to do.”

Johntel’s team got a 15-point v【7】 at last. But the players of the two teams won the same cheering. “This is an unforgettable experience for these kids.” Darius’s coach said.

29、   I looked up the word “successful” in my dictionary and some of the words listed were: happy, fortunate, and hard-working. If that is the definition(定义) of “successful”, then I am truly successful after ______.

I started dabbling(涉足) in the Internet marketing in October 2010. It didn’t take long for me to become a victim(受害者) of the “become-a-millionaire(百万富翁)-overnight”______that was so popular on the Internet. I had supposed that selling things on the Internet was so easy that even beginners could start making money on the very ______ day. I spent most of my time advertising rather than learning ______ to advertise. However, half a year’s hard work led to no money at all.

In June, I found a program that was ______, and I began to learn from it. It wasn’t long before I gave ______ the “get-rich-quick” mind. I began to ______ that the Internet sale is a job like any other job and I would have to take it ______. I kept trying to cheer myself up, which I thought was the key to success in sales. I insisted on the excellent Internet marketing and then good ______ came. My dabbling became a hobby, and then passion(热情). Later passion ______ my business. I have really become a millionaire within a year.

The more I learn, the more I realize I need to learn more. I’ve made a lot of mistakes, but I know that every mistake is just one more step forward, as a song tells us “You’ve got to lose to know how to win.”
