赣州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，将划线部分译成英文或中文。

Lionel Messi is a goal machine and is often considered one of the best football players in the world. 1. There’re so many things to be learned from his successful story.

Messi was born in Argentina and comes from a poor family. Messi grew up very with his grandmother, so when she passed away, 2. he was in deep pain and decided to make his grandmother proud of him. At five, he started playing football for a local club and dreamed of becoming a professional football player. But that dream started to fall apart when he was told he got a growth disease. 3. This meant that he couldn’t grow very tall unless he received a treatment that cost $1,600 per month. His parents couldn’t afford it. But even though Messi was the shortest player in his team, his talent was so outstanding and soon he was noticed by the coach(教练) of Football Club Barcelona. The coach was amazed by Messi’s abilities and talent. 4. 他知道他天生就该踢足球 and soon offered Messi a contract(合同) that would change his life forever.

There is no doubt Messi is successful. He even has his own word which was added to the Spanish dictionary. The word is “inmessionante”, which means the greatest player of all time. 5. 但他的成功并非偶然 or from just luck. He worked really, really hard and had to give up many things to become who he is today. “I start early and stay late day after day, year after year. It took me 17 years and 114 days to become an overnight success”, Messi once said. So give everything you’ve got and start working on your dreams.

24、I went to my first music festival-We Love Green. It was held over a weekend in a park in Paris. Like most music festivals, it had wonderful singers and music. However, there was something special about this one. You see, this was a green festival!

From the food to the stalls (摊位), everything was as environmentally friendly as possible. The festival was powered by solar energy (由太阳能供电). There were specially labeled bins (贴有标签的垃圾桶) so that the waste could be used again after the festival.

This seems like such a great idea, to make something very fun and not cause great pollution to the environment. I have discovered that there are more events similar to this across the world!

26、Once upon a time, there was a girl named Heather. She loved her home. It was a big, two-floored house. She had lived there for practically her whole life. “Heather, will you please come downstairs? I need to talk to you about something important.” Her mother said, from downstairs. It was a chilly winter night. “Yes, mother!” Heather said, then came downstairs. “What’s up?” She asked her parents, sitting down on the sofa, beside them.

“Dear, I want to talk to you about something important. It’s about this house. You see, month by month, this place has been hard to repair, because it’s so old. We have decided to move houses.” Her mother said. Heather was shocked to hear this. “But, mother, it’s fine! I will donate my money to repair this house! Please! Let’s not move!” she said, desperate to change her mother’s mind.

Before her mother could reply, she stormed upstairs to her room. She sat on her bed and cried. “I don’t want to shift! This house isn’t all that old!” After some time, she lay down on her bed and slept.

The next day, at the breakfast, her mother sat down across from her. “Heather, I promise, you will like your new home! You’ll be used to it before you know it!” Her mother said, trying to make Heather feel better. “Ok. I hope you’re right.” Heather mumbled（咕哝）. “We will move into an apartment, just 45 minutes away from this house. The house may not have as many rooms which we have here, but it has two balconies（阳台）, which have spectacular views!” Her mother said excitedly.

Heather could see that her mother was excited to move. “That sounds promising! Maybe I will like it there!” she said to her mother, trying to sound cheerful. “I’m sure you will!” Her mother said.

Before Heather knew it, Sunday had come. Her packing was done, and so was her parents’. She looked around. Her house was empty. It reminded her of the first time she stepped in it when she was about 5 years old. The house was empty then, too. Nine years later, that moment repeated itself. She didn’t know why, but this seemingly unimportant moment was very heart-touching for her. She smiled. Heather went to every room, saying her goodbyes.

“Dear house, I have enjoyed our time here. But, now it’s time for me to leave. Don’t be sad! We might meet someday, again. Let us both await it. I love you! You have made my life more special, with just your presence in it. I hope you work that magic of yours on every future resident（住户）to live here. Goodbye!” She said to her house.

【1】Why did Heather’s parents want to move to a new house?

A．Because they had enough money to live there.

B．Because the old house was too old to be repaired.

C．Because the new house was close to the work places.

D．Because they wanted to give a better future to Heather.

【2】Which of the following statements is true about the new house?

A．It had wonderful views with two balconies.

B．It was very big and had two floors inside.

C．It was not far away from Heather’s school.

D．It was only 5 years old and still empty now.

【3】In Heather’s eyes, what is so meaningful in the old house?

A．The long history.

B．The promising resident.

C．The unforgettable moments.

D．The heart-touching goodbyes.

27、Have you ever had trouble sleeping in a new place?

Lots of people do. And now researchers from Brown University in Rhode Island think they know why. They found that one-half of the brain “remains more awake” than the other half when people are trying to sleep in a new place.

The findings were reported in Current Biology by Brown University. In their report, the researchers said many people report they have a harder time sleeping the first night at a hotel or other places outside their home. They call it “first-night influence”. In Japan they say, “If you change your bed, you can’t sleep,” said Yuka Sasaki, one of the report’s writers. “You don’t sleep very well in a new place. We all know about it.”

The researchers measured brain waves (测量脑波) for 35 volunteers over two nights in a laboratory. The two nights were a week apart (间隔). They found during the first night the left half of the brain was more active than the right half. This was during the first deep-sleep period, the researchers said.

Sasaki said a lot of questions remain.

Researchers did not keep measuring brain waves all night long. So, they don’t know if the left half keeps “watch” all night, or whether it “works in shifts (轮换) with the right half later in the night”. They also do not know why the brain activity, at least during the first period of deep sleep, is always on the left half.

For some, this research may be calming. It is good to know that our brain is “looking out for us” in a new place. But it may not help with sleep. That brain activity, at least according to this new research; makes it harder to get the people to have a good rest when they need to wake up in the morning.

【1】How many times did the researchers measure brain waves for 35 volunteers?

A．Once.

B．Twice.

C．Three times.

D．Four times.

【2】The researchers found ________ during the first deep-sleep period.

A．the brain waves remained the same

B．the brain activity helped with sleep

C．the right half of the brain kept “watch”

D．the left half of the brain was more active

【3】The underlined word “calming” has the closest meaning to” ________”

A．pleasing

B．different

C．serious

D．strange

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A．What we will have to do to sleep well.

B．How researchers measure brain waves.

C．Why it’s harder to sleep in a new place.

D．Who doesn’t sleep well in a new place.

28、

Dear Mom,

This is my fifth day at summer camp. Life here is not exactly what I expected, 【1】 it’s still quite good. So don’t worry about me.

I guess I should tell you about what I do everyday. First, everyone has to get up at 5:30. Next, we have to 【2】 our beds and tidy up our tents before our teacher, Jeff, come to check the place.

Then, we 【3】 breakfast around 6:30. After that, we have some free time. I like to go to the nearby river to fish. But yesterday, the only thing I caught was an old shoes! Then when I decided to leave at about 11:00, I fell into the river. 【4】 luck!

Well, in the afternoon, there are different activities we can choose from. I often 【5】 a horse with Jimmy. Thanks 【6】 Grandpa, I’m so good at riding a horse.

In the 【7】, everyone has to help get dinner ready. Yesterday, I was asked to cook dumplings. I am good at cooking dumplings, so they were very popular. And I found I began to be 【8】 in cooking.

At night, we sit around and sing 【9】 and tell stories. This makes all of us relaxed.

Time flies! Tomorrow I will go home. Looking forward to 【10】 you and dad!

Love,

Jack
