信阳2024-2025学年第一学期期末教学质量检测试题(卷)初一英语

1、阅读下面的短文，然后将画线部分的句子译成汉语或英语。

If you find it hard to learn English, think of the foreigners who learn Chinese. The number of people learning Chinese around the world reached 100 million in 2017, 1. Europe’s first Chinese-English primary school recently opened in the British capital of London. But do you know how foreigners learn Chinese? Mike Fuksman, Teens’ foreign editor (编辑) from the United States, has lived in China for more than seven years. 2.他想和我们一起分享他学习中文的故事。

Like many foreigners, Mike only knew two words of Chinese (“hello” and “thank you”) when he came to China in 2009. As we can probably guess, his life was difficult for a while after he arrived.3. Simple tasks like ordering food or taking a taxi were quite stressful. Milk knew he had to learn more Chinese, so he signed up for a class. His teacher was very helpful, although Milk didn’t learn enough to have a real conversation. 4.后来，他也坚持自学,但是进步缓慢。 He became very disappointed.

Finally, he found that the best way to learn Chinese is to make friends with native (本土的) speakers and spend time with them. Around this time, 5. Mike started playing in a band with a Chinese woman who became one of his best friends in Beijing. He learned a lot of Chinese by hanging out with her. In this way, he’s learned enough Chinese to take care of many tasks.

Let me tell you something about sharks. Sharks are among the oldest animals in the world. There are over three hundred fifty different kinds of sharks in the world. Most sharks are about two meters long and live in the oceans.

A shark can smell something in the water, for example, the blood of animals. That helps them find their food. Sharks mainly eat fish, other sharks and plants in the ocean.

Most sharks bite (咬) people by mistake. They think a person is a large sea animal. When the sun goes down or comes up, sharks are looking for food. So at these times people shouldn't go swimming in the ocean.

25、

As COVID-19 is still spreading in many countries, quickly finding people who have the virus is very important. But COVID-19 is not easy to detect. Many people who catch the virus clearly show signs of being ill, like having a fever or coughing. But many others show no signs at all. These people are “asymptomatic” and they can still pass the virus to others.

Now, scientists from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a famous American college, have developed a method which can quickly detect whether a person has COVID-19 or not just from the way he or she coughs or speaks. The scientists turned to an AI method known as “deep learning”.

In deep learning, computer programs collected a lot of information, analyzed（分析）it and built certain models. The information here was tens of thousands of recordings of coughing and speaking from people who had caught the virus. When the scientists tested their AI models, they found that they could detect 98.5% of the people who caught the virus, including 100% of the asymptomatic people.

Brian Subirana, one of the scientists, says, “We think this shows that the way one person produces sound changes when he or she has COVID-19, even if he or she is asymptomatic.” The scientists now want to turn their models into an app that can run on mobile phones. If they are able to do that, it could allow people to quickly and easily check whether they have caught the virus.

【1】From the passage, who are asymptomatic people?

A．Those who do not cough at all although they catch the virus

B．Those who have a high fever when they catch the virus.

C．Those who catch the virus but don’t show any signs of being ill

D．Those who catch the virus but won’t pass it to any other one.

【2】How does the new method work?

A．By analyzing a person’s voice.

B．By taking a person’s temperature.

C．By taking a person to the hospital.

D．By asking a person some questions.

【3】What does the underlined word “they” refer to?

A．the viruses

B．the scientists

C．the AI models

D．the asymptomatic people

【4】Where will the AI models be used according to Brian?

A．Everywhere.

B．On computers.

C．In hospitals.

D．On mobile phones.

【5】What can you read from the passage?

A．An AI method can help detect the COVID-19 patients accurately.

B．An AI method can help find where the COVID came from.

C．COVID-19 is too easy to detect with the help of an AI robot.

D．COVID-19 can’t be detected even with the help of an AI robot.

26、   My parents run a small store in San Francisco. They always keep a big box by the entrance where people can donate (捐赠) something to our local food bank.

“For some reason, our food-donation box just isn’t filling up recently,” said my dad.

“Maybe it’s time to think of a way to remind people about the food bank,” said my mom.

“What about a talent show?” my dad suggested.

“OK, _______” said my mom. 

So while my parents posted information online, we kids made some signs. My friend Mareya came over to help out. “I’d like to do an act in the show, but I don’t know what to do,” I told Mareya.

“Well, since the food-bank thing is about sharing,” said Mareya, “Why not write a song about that?”

“Writing a song is not a problem,” I said. “But it's hard for me to sing it alone!”

She said. “What if we sang it together?”

Since Mareya has the world’s prettiest voice and also happens to play the guitar. I agreed.

Mareya and I practiced and practiced, and I was feeling pretty good about our act. Baton the morning of the performance, Mareya called that she had a stomachache and was not in any shape to perform.

“There’s no way I’m going on without you,” I told her.

“You've worked so hard”, she said, “You'll be great!”

But great is the last word anyone would choose to describe my performance! Without Mareya’s guitar and voice to guide me, my song was completely in a mess. And I even forgot half the words.

Remember the sick, heart-racing, hot-faced feeling I was talking about? Well, that’s what I was experiencing—more than I ever had before.

Once I was off the steps, my mom gave me a big hug.

“I want to disappear! I’ve never been so embarrassed（尴尬的）in my life, I said.

Ollie smiled, “I think you are really brave.”

Indi added, “I now know that you truly can survive（幸存）a lot more embarrassment than you think.”
