怀化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。

The world is not hungry, but it is thirsty.1. It seems strange that nearly3/4 of the earth is covered with water while we say we are short of water. Why? Because about 97% of water on the earth is sea water which we can't drink or use for watering plants directly. Man can only drink and use 3%—the water that comes from rivers and lakes. 2.而且由于有一些水已经被污染, 我们甚至不能全部利用。

Now more water is needed. The problem is:Can we avoid（避免）a serious water shortage later on? Firstly, we should all learn how to save water. Secondly, we should find out ways to reuse it. Scientists have always been making studies in the field. 3. Today. in most large cities. water is used only once and then runs to the sea or rivers. But it can be used again.4. Even if every large city reused its water. still it would not be enough. Thirdly, there is a lot of water in the sea. What we should do is to separate the salt from the sea water. This is expensive, but it's already used in many parts of the world.5.科学家们正在尽力找出一个更加便宜的方式来做这件事。So you see, if we can find a way out. we'll be in no danger of drying up.

24、Plastic is one of the biggest polluters in our environment. And Coca-Cola was named the world’s number one plastic polluter in 2020. The Coca-Cola company is finally taking action to deal with this growing problem.

Though plastic is very useful, it is also an “alien” material to Earth, because the soil cannot turn plastic back into CO₂ and water. And this is not the only problem. When plastic finally does degrade（降解）, thanks to the sun, it produces greenhouse gas emissions（排放物）and harmful chemicals into the environment, only making the climate（气候）even worse.

The Coca-Cola company is working with a Danish company to create 100% recyclable soda bottles instead of plastic ones.

Creating a paper bottle is challenging. The paper bottle must still follow the same safety standards as the plastic bottles. The carbonated liquid（碳酸液体）in the paper bottle needs to be tested in different environments. Moreover, the paper has to meet the needs of different shapes and sizes for different brands.

The first paper bottle will be tested in Hungary this summer. The bottle is made of a single piece of material instead of separate parts, which would make the bottle weaker. Because paper cannot come into direct contact with the drink, the bottle still includes a（recyclable）plastic inside and cap. However, how to make the paper cap is still unclear yet.

Even if the paper bottles are successful, it will be some time before companies use them instead of plastic that is cheap and easy-to-produce. However, Coca-Cola’s steps are still steps towards a brighter future.

【1】What can we know about plastic according to the passage?

A．Plastic is a kind of special alien material.

B．Plastic bottles are less useful than paper bottles.

C．Plastic can’t be turned back into CO₂ and water in the soil.

D．The Coca-Cola company made plastic the biggest polluter.

【2】The first two paragraphs aims to ________.

A．tell us what the environment is like now

B．explain why Coca-Cola is making paper bottles

C．recommend us not to use plastic bottles any more

D．introduce the situation of environment in 2020 to us

【3】Which is TRUE about paper bottles by the Coca-Cola Company?

A．It’s more expensive to use paper bottles.

B．They will be put into use this summer.

C．They follow new safety standards.

D．Each part of the bottles is made of paper.

【4】The underlined word “steps” refers to ________.

A．different tests on paper bottles

B．high technology in making paper bottles

C．confidence in dealing with plastic pollution

D．tries at protecting the environment

25、   Once there was a little girl. She watered a banana tree every day. One day a voice came from the tree, “Will you play with me?” The girl was very scared and ran to her mother.

27、   According to a study in Norway, students -who stayed in school longer than others of their age scored higher in intelligence tests.

In the middle of the 1950s, the government began requiring students to attend school until the age of sixteen instead of fourteen. Communities had spent almost twenty years making the change. So some students went to school for seven years while others went for at least nine years. This difference gave researchers the chance to see if the extra schooling had any effect on the development of intelligence.

All young men in Norway must take a test of their cognitive (认知) abilities at the age of nineteen in preparation for required military service (兵役). This is commonly called an IQ test.

The researchers compared the test results of 107,000 young men to their years of schooling. Taryn Ann Galloway,a researcher at the University of Oslo, says, " The young men who were basically forced to stay in school for two years longer actually do have higher IQs. So, based on that, we can say that increasing schooling does actually have an effect on their cognitive abilities."

An average IQ was one hundred. Most people scored between eighty-five and one hundred and fifteen.

Ms. Galloway says that students who attended school for nine years scored seven points higher than those for seven years. Those who went for eight years scored about four points higher.

Experts have debated（争论）for years about the degree to which people are born with intelligence or develop it later. This is the nature or nurture（培养）argument - the influence of biology compared to the environment where people are raised and educated. This study seems to support the nurture side.

【1】Where may the article be from?

A.Storybooks. B.Science magazines.

C.Military newspapers. D.World history books.

【2】How did the researchers do the study?

A.By interviewing 107 ,000 students.

B.By getting some help from the government.

C.By examining students' cognitive abilities.

D.By comparing the IQ test results to the years of schooling.

【3】What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?

A.The ways of education.

B.The purpose of the study.

C.The importance of the study.

D.The effects of the environment.

【4】What can we infer from the study in Norway?

A.Increasing schooling can mean high IQ scores.

B.Students who attend school for 9 years will score over 115.

C.A person's intelligence depends on the amount of schooling.

D.Students should stay in school for two more years after graduation.

28、B）请根据短文内容及首字母填空，填写所缺单词，并将答案填写在答题卡相应位置上。

Many hundreds of years ago, a native (土著的) American chief named Shenandoah lived with his people in what is now the state of Virginia. Very l【1】 is known about Shenandoah, but the soft sound of his name was given to a river. The Shenandoah River still runs in a d【2】 valley (山谷) between the mountains in West Virginia, just as it did when Chief Shenandoah lived. There is an old story which tells how the river got its name.

A long time ago, many c【3】 before Europeans went to live in America, there was a great lake hidden in the mountains of Virginia. For hundreds of years, the native Americans lived near this lake, feeding on the f【4】 they caught in its clean waters. They often climbed up the mountains and set up camp there d【5】 their long hunts for food. In the evenings they sat near their camps and looked d【6】 at the beautiful lake.

On a clear, starry night you could see thousands of stars s【7】 and dancing on the water below. The native Americans loved this lake, and because they could see the stars in it they called the lake “Clear Daughter of the Stars.” In their l【8】 the word for this was “Shenandoah.”

One day there was a loud crashing sound at one end of the lake. The lake began to disappear. Its water r【9】 out of the vallev through a break (裂口) in the mountain side. The waters ran on and on until they j【10】 another river, which today is known as the Potomac.

At last, the lake was gone. In its place was only a river. It is this way today. The lake is gone, but the beautiful Shenandoah River runs on.
