阳泉2024-2025学年第一学期期末教学质量检测试题(卷)初一英语

1、阅读下面短文，将划线部分译成英文或中文。

Recently, 1. a popular song called Good morning, Longhui（《早安隆回》）has drawn wide attention from the public online. Yuan Shuxiong, its songwriter from Longhui County（县）, seems to have become famous overnight and reached the peak of his career at the age of 51 for this magic song.

His increasing popularity has brought him to the highlights of the stages of Hunan TV and CCTV and drawn much attention from the public. Subsequently（随后）, 2. all kinds of discussions about him are going up continuously. Some think he has achieved his success all by luck. This encouraging song just matches perfectly with the short videos of Lionel Messi winning the Championship in Qatar World Cup, which makes the song as well as its writer widely known to netizens. Some believe he has copied others’ works like Singing and Smiling, while others think 3. 他的成功源于多年的努力和永不放弃的精神. As early as the year of 2007, Yuan Shuxiong had already created many wonderful songs of his own, such as Bitter Coffee, Baby in Love, Love You This Way. 4. But none of them could be as popular as this one.

As a matter of fact, this 51-year-old musician once went through many “ups and downs” before becoming famous. He drifted（漂泊）for many years in different cities and even his former wife left him when he was in his darkest days. 5. 幸运的是，他克服了所有困难并最终实现梦想。Just as the proverb goes, “Chances always favor（青睐）the prepared mind.” Let’s expect him to create more great works for his fans and hometown he loves deeply!

24、Many of us feel uneasy when someone stands too close to us, talks to us too loudly or makes eye contact (接触) with us for too long. But have you ever wondered why those things make you uncomfortable?

It’s all about personal space, which means not only an imaginary space around the body, but also the space around all the senses. People feel that their space is being violated (侵犯) when they meet with an unwelcome sound, smell or look. This is probably why a man on a crowded bus shouting into his mobile phone or a woman next to you putting on strong perfume (香水) makes you feel angry.

Whether people have had a stronger wish to protect their personal space in recent times is hard to say. Yet studies of airlines show that people have a strong desire (渴望) to have space to themselves. In a survey by TripAdvisor, a travel website, people said that if they had to pay more for some extra service, they would rather have larger seats than extra food.

Although people may need their personal space, some hardly realize it. For example, people on a bus who hold newspapers in front of their faces to read in fact keep a distance from strangers.

Go and watch a library table. You will notice that one of the corner seats will usually be taken first, because they are the farthest away. What if someone sits opposite to you? Maybe you will pile up books as if to make a wall.

Preferences (偏好) for personal space are different from culture to culture. Scientists have found that Americans generally prefer more personal space than people from other cultures. In Latin (拉丁人的) cultures, however, people are more comfortable standing close to each other.

【1】The writer mainly __________ in this article.

A. tells us how to achieve personal space

B. explains why people need personal space

C. introduces some knowledge about personal space

D. argues for the importance of keeping personal space

【2】 What can we know from the survey by TripAdvisor?

A. People need a smaller personal space in recent times than before.

B. People have a strong desire for personal space in recent times.

C. There are not enough seats on the plane to meet people’s needs.

D. Food service is better provided than seats on the plane.

【3】 Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The space around the body is more needed than that around all the senses.

B. If you hold newspapers on the bus, your personal space won’t be violated.

C. People usually choose the corner seats first in a library for personal space.

D. Different cultures share the same preferences for personal space.

25、There comes a time in every normal boy’s life when he feels the desire to go out and dig for hidden treasure. One day, this desire suddenly came upon Tom Sawyer. He went out to look for his friends Joe and Ben, but no luck. Eventually, he stumbled upon Huck. Tom took him to a secret place and brought up the matter confidentially. Huck was always willing to lend a hand in any enterprise that offered joy and required no capital.

“Where’ll we dig?” said Huck.

“Oh, most anywhere.”

“Why, is it hidden all around?”

“No. It’s hidden in particular places, Huck—sometimes on islands, sometimes under old dead trees, but mostly under the floor in haunted(闹鬼的) houses.”

“Who hides it?”

“Why, robbers, of course.”

“Don’t they come after it anymore?”

“No, they think they will, but they generally forget the marks, or else they die. Anyway, it has been laid there for a long time and gets rusty; and by and by somebody finds an old yellow paper that tells how to find the marks.”

“Have you got some of these papers, Tom?”

“No.”

“Well then, how are you going to find the marks?”

“I don’t want any marks. They always bury it under a haunted house, on an island or under a dead tree.”

“Then, how are you going to know which one to go for?”

“Go for all of’em!”

“Why, Tom, it’ll take all summer.”

“Well, what of that? Suppose you find brass(黄铜的) pot with hundred dollars in it, or rotten chest full of diamonds. How’s that?”

“That’s bully! Say—-where are you going to dig first?”

“Well, I don’t know. Suppose we choose that old dead tree on the hill?”

“I’m agreed.”

So they got pick and shovel, and set out on their three-mile- tramp(徒步旅行). They arrived hot and out of breath, they threw themselves down in the shade of neighboring elm (榆树) .

After a brief rest, Tom and Huck went to dig. They worked and sweated for half an hour. No result. They worked another half-hour. Still no result. Huck said “Do they always bury it as deep as this?”

“Sometimes—not always. I reckon we haven’t got the right place.”

So they chose a new spot and began again. The labor dragged a little but still they made progress.

They pegged away in silence for some time. Finally Huck leaned his shovel, swabbed the beaded drops from his brow with his sleeve, and said, “Tom, we must be in the wrong place again. What do you think?”

【1】According to the passage, Huck agreed to hunt for treasure with Tom Sawyer because________.

① the treasure hunt wouldn’t cost him a penny

② the treasure hunt appeared interesting to him

③ his father used to be an experienced treasure hunter

D．②④

【2】What can we infer from the passage about Huck?

A．He had never hunted for treasure.

B．He was afraid of digging at an old dead tree.

C．He was actually unwilling to hunt for treasure with Tom.

D．He had planned to do many things in the coming summer.

【3】Why did Tom decide to dig at the old dead tree on the hill first?

A．He made the decision completely without any thought.

B．Because someone had discovered treasure under the tree before.

C．Because he knew the area there the tree stood well.

D．Because a yellow paper told him that there was treasure under the tree.

【4】According to the passage, how did Tom and Huck feel when they arrived at the old dead tree?

A．Excited.

B．Impatient.

C．Tired.

D．Disappointed.

26、   You are walking down the street.  Suddenly it starts to rain and you don’t have an umbrella.  What do you do? Run or walk?

Most people would choose to run because it will get you out of the rain faster.  But if you run, you also run into more raindrops.  So what should you do?

Franco Bocci, a teacher at the University of Brescia in Italy, found that you should consider the wind direction and your body shape when you try to decide to move slowly or quickly in rain, according to the BBC.  

When there is no wind and the rain is landing directly on you, Bocci suggests that you should run as fast as possible.

But if the wind comes from behind and blows the rain onto your back, the best thing to do is walking at the same speed as the wind.  This way, both your front and back will stay mostly dry.

When the wind blows from the side, you'll have to think about one more thing—your body shape.  Thinner people are hit by fewer raindrops.  So a fatter person should run, while a thinner person should still try to match their speed to the wind.

“In general (大体来说)，the best thing is to run, as fast as you can—not always, but in general, Bocci told BBC News.  “If you’re really thin, it’s more probable that there will be an optimal speed.  Otherwise (否则），it is better to run fast. ”

Now you know what to do next time the rain catches you in the middle of the street.  But the best way to stay dry is still to carry an umbrella.

【1】According to Bocci, when it rains and there is no wind, what should you do?

A.Walk slowly. B.Run as fast as you can.

C.Wait until the rain stops. D.Walk at the same speed as the rain.

【2】Walking at the same speed when the wind comes from behind will   .

A.help you walk easily in the rain B.keep any rain falling on you

C.stop you from falling over D.keep your body mostly dry

【3】If the wind comes from the side, a thin person should consider________.

A.how fast he can run B.how long the rain will last

C.what the speed of the wind is D.what clothes he is wearing

【4】The underlined word “optimal” probably means________.

A.合适的 B.极限的 C.缓慢的 D.难以超越的

27、If you are not happy with China’s high Internet fees (费用) and slow speed, you are not alone. So is Premier Li Keqiang. On April 14, he said in a meeting that the government should speed up the Internet and lower the fees.

“The first question people ask at a new place is ‘Is there WI-FI’ because Internet service fees are so high,” said Premier Li. According to a recent survey by CCTV, the average cost(平均费用) of 1GB mobile Internet data per month（每月） in China is 100 Yuan, while it is only 60 Yuan in the US and 40 in Japan.

However, high prices don’t necessarily mean good service. The average Internet speed in China was 4.25Mbps（兆比特每秒）in 2014. South Korea had the fastest average Internet speed-25.3 Mbps. People can download a 1 GB movie within 6 minutes in South Koreas, but in China it would take half an hour.

To improve Internet services, the key is to build more fiber(光纤) networks. Through them we can send text, pictures and videos globally（全球地） in less than a second（秒）, which offer high speed Internet. Besides, the lack of （缺少）market competition is another problem. Having more operators（运营商）besides China Unicom and China Telecom may lower the prices.

【1】Why do people always ask for WI-FI at a new place in China?

A. Because they can’t use Internet without WI-FI.

B. Because they can communicate with their families.

C. Because they want to download movies.

D. Because Internet service fees are too high.

【2】In 2014, ____ had the fastest average Internet speed.

A. China   B. USA   C. Japan   D. South Korea

【3】What is the key to improve Internet services?

A. To increase Internet service fees.

B. To build more fiber networks.

C. To learn from South Korea.

D. To make the government know the situation.

I will never forget the tenth summer of my childhood with my grandfather in western Norway at the mountain farm where my mother was born.

One day my grandfather said, “Come. I have something for you.” I f  【1】  him to a workroom. “You should have a toy boat. You can sail it at Storvassdal,” he said. Great, I thought, looking around for the boat. But there was n  【2】  . Grandfather pointed to a block of wood. “The boat is in there,” he said. Then he handed me some tools and showed me h  【3】  to use them properly. “It’ll be a fine boat, and you’ll make it with your own hands,” he said. “No one can give you what you do for yourself.” The w  【4】  rang in my head as I worked. Finally I finished the boat. It wasn’t much to look at, but I was p 【5】  . Then I sailed it at Storvassdal.

We had to return to America. “You cannot bring that boat home with you,” my mother said. We already had too much baggage. Feeling sad, I h 【6】  my boat under a big rock at Storvassdal.

I said good-bye to Grandfather, not knowing I would n 【7】  see him again.

In 1964, I went to Storvassdal with my parents and my wife and children. To my surprise, for 34 years my treasure s 【8】  here, waiting for my return. I felt we three were together again

a 【9】  my grandfather had died 22 years before.

After that, I returned to the lake five times. Each time I held the boat and carved the year, my g  【10】  seemed near.

29、Once upon a time, there lived a greedy (贪婪的) and selfish man named David. He always wished to have a lot of money and _________ cheated others to make money. One day, one of his small bags full of gold coins was missing. David became very _________. He searched inside and outside for the bag, but found _________. After a few days, a girl named Tina _________ the bag. Her father, one of David’s workers, knew David was looking for the missing money everywhere, so he went to David. David was pleased to get the coins back. Because of his greedy nature, he decided to play a trick _________his poor worker.

You have stolen them!” The worker was shocked to hear this and tried his best to explain. _________, David still took him to the court (法庭). The judge (法官) heard patiently both the sides. David said, “It’s quite clear that they have stolen 25 coins!”       

       The _________ judge and everyone there knew that David was lying. Soon, the judge made his judgment. “Since David lost a bag _________ had 75 gold coins and the bag found by Tina had just 50 coins, it seems that the bag does not _________ David.
