邵阳2024-2025学年第一学期期末教学质量检测试题(卷)初一英语

1、   When you travel abroad and meet foreigners who speak English well, you may think that they are Americans or British people. However, they can be non-native(非母语的) speakers of English. 1. For example, a number of Germans are good at English even though English isn’t their mother tongue.

Learning English is not a boring journey. 2. 据说许多学习者在日常生活里学英语。 Eric is a Russian actor. He used to have problems in pronouncing. Through TV programs, movies and music from English-speaking countries, he learned English in an interesting way with confidence built up. 3. “English songs and movies make me happy when I am blue,” he said. “It is always good to have something inspiring and cheerful in the learning process.” 

4. Sometimes your effort may end up driving yourself mad. If so,asking for help is necessary and of great importance. No one is expected to learn something well without difficulties. When we find learning English hard, turn to others in time. And we are supposed to work with other English learners to support each other and encourage each other. 5. 此外，我们可以尽可能多参加社会活动。 For example, we can be voluntary guides to help foreign visitors, which is a chance to practice English.

25、It seems that beauty and women are twins．You are joking? No，I am not．Watch it for yourself! Ads on fashion TV screens，radio programs，magazines，newspapers，and the streets．Whether they have realized it or not, women are surrounded(包围)by a sea of fashion. They are taught to think that without beautiful clothes they will grow old and lose their charm. so who dares to neglect(忽略) dressing up at the cost of their appearance and youth?

But I do not agree with the opinion that women have to show their beauty through their appearances. The richness of their minds proves to be more beautiful and attractive than their appearances. a woman who has experienced many troubles and may be called “aunt” or“granny” can still keep up her beauty if she has such excellent qualities as knowledge，ability，a kind heart，great courage, caring for others, etc.

In addition, old and young, beautiful and ugly are relative concepts(相对的概念)．People who keep a young mind will never feel old．Interested in new things and eager to learn more，they keep up with the time. plainly-dressed women may have a type of beauty that is pure and real. Reading and learning is the best way to keep one youthful．Good books are rich soil which can feed the flower of one’s heart and appearances.

27、Every people(民族) uses its own special words to show its ideas and feelings. Some of these expressions are commonly used for many years. Others are popular for just a short time. One such American expression is “Where’s the beef?” It is used when something is not as good as it is said to be. In the early 1980s “Where’s the beef?” was one of the most popular expressions in the United States. It seemed as if everyone was using it at the time.

Beef, of course, is the meat from a cow, and food is more popular in America than a hamburger made from beef. In the 1960s a businessman named Ray began building small restaurants that sold hamburgers at a low price. Ray called this “McDonald’s”. Ray became one of the richest businessmen at last in America.

Other business people watched his success. Some of them opened their own hamburger restaurants. One company(公司) called “Wendy’s” said its hamburgers were bigger than those sold by McDonald’s or anyone else. The Wendy’s Company began to use the expression “Where’s the beef?” to make people know that Wendy’s hamburgers were the biggest. The Wendy’s television advertisement(广告) showed three old women eating hamburgers. The bread that covered the meat was very big, but inside there was only a bit of meat. One of the women said she would not eat a hamburger with such a little piece of beef. “Where’s the beef?” she shouted in a funny way. The advertisement for Wendy’s hamburger restaurants was a success. As we said, it seemed everyone began using the expression “Where’s the beef?”

28、   It is easier to go downhill t【1】to climb uphill. So it is easier to fall into bad habits than into good o【2】. Bad habits do not come s【3】. They come little by little when people don't n【4】their danger. School boys first pick up little bad habits in school and on the street. When they can't write their lessons, they copy from their c【5】. If they see bigger boys smoking, they also want to learn to smoke. When they get bigger, the habits become so strong t【6】they can no l【7】get rid of(摆脱)them. From copying, they f【8】behind others, then they learn to steal. At l【9】, they become suspected by everybody. How necessary it is that we get rid of the bad habits in the 【10】!

29、Is the art of conversation dying? The other day, my wife      two teenage children did something we haven't      for ages. It didn't require the Internet, a TV screen, batteries or anything else for that matter. But we all     it so much we're thinking of doing it again sometime.

We had a conversation. The kind of real, live conversation that was      when I was growing up, but which seems all too rare these days. Today we have chat rooms, text messages, e-mails but we seem to be losing the      of communicating face-to-face. We all know     young people are out on a date(约会)these days, they spend most of that time      their mobile phones.  And teenagers nowadays seem to   communicating with their friends by sending text messages rather than actually     to them.

If we carry on like this, in the future, we'll lose the use of our       . What do you think? E-mail me, and who knows? Maybe we could even have a real conversation about it!
