池州2024-2025学年第二学期期末教学质量检测试题(卷)初一英语

1、   There is a Chinese saying “千里送鹅毛，礼轻情意重”. The saying comes from a historic book called Lu Shi (《路史》). According to the story, a Tang Dynasty official in Yunnan wanted to show his respect (尊敬) to the emperor (皇帝). He sent a man named Mian Bogao to bring some gifts to the emperor. 1. One of the gifts was a beautiful swan, which was a very valuable gift at the time.

Mian took good care of the swan on his way to the emperor. One day, he passed by a lake and wanted to let the swan drink some water. 2. But as soon as he set the swan free, the swan flew away, leaving only some feathers on the ground. Mian was very worried, but he didn’t try to run away. 3. 他决定告诉皇帝发生了什么。He picked up a feather and kept going on his trip.

When Mian met the emperor, he told him what happened and said, 4. “This swan feather is light, but it carries my deep respect for you.” The emperor was happy with Mian’s honesty and sincerity (真诚). He forgave (原谅) Mian. 5. 人们现在用这个说法来表明好的礼物不一定要很贵。What matters is the sincerity it carries.

Everyone knows that it’s hard to drink in space because of the low gravity, but Chinese astronauts Jing Haipeng and Chen Dong showed us how they drank tea on a TV show during the month-long trip in Shenzhou XI spaceship last year. They used a specially made tea cup and a special Pu’er cream to drink tea while standing upside down.

The Pu’er tea cream they drank is produced in Yunnan province, which is known for its Pu’er tea industry.

“Drinking hot tea is harder,” said Jing Haipeng. “The difficult part of drinking tea in space is that there should not be anything left after the tea dissolves (溶解) in water, also, the solubility（溶解度）of the tea should be low since water in space can only be warmed to 60 degrees at most.”

The tea cream the astronauts drank is produced by Gongrunxiang Tea Industry Corp in Kunming. Zhang Guanghui, manager of Gongrunxiang, said that the company tries to produce a tea cream that’s a safe, healthy tea product. Tea products are often reported to be polluted by air and heavy metals. “I never imagined that one day our tea cream would help astronauts to drink tea in space,” Zhang said, adding that drinking tea in space can be seen as a turning point for the Pu’er tea industry.

“For us, astronauts’ drinking tea in space means our technology used in the tea industry has had some achievements,” Zhang said. “In the future, more tea producers will use it to improve the tea industry.”

【1】What can we learn from the passage?

A. Astronauts are able to enjoy many kinds of tea in space.

B. The tea cream is reported to be polluted by air and heavy metals.

C. The astronauts showed how they drank tea after returning to the earth.

D. The technology used in the tea industry may help the astronauts drink tea.

【2】Which is NOT the reason why it’s difficult for the astronauts to drink hot tea in space?

A. Drinking is very hard in the low-gravity situation.

B. The solubility of the tea should remain the same.

C. They have to use a kind of specially made tea cup.

D. There should be nothing left after the tea dissolves in water.

【3】Why does Zhang consider drinking tea in space is a turning point for the Pu’er tea industry?

A. He thinks it might help astronauts in space.

B. He thinks it might make Pu’er tea dissolve easily.

C. He thinks it might help improve the production of Pu’er tea.

D. He thinks it might help improve the tea industry and make Pu’er tea popular.

25、Every time you turn on the television or take a ride in a car， you could be adding to a problem called acid rain(酸雨). In this article， you’ll learn how acid is created， and how it affects us， and more importantly， what we all can do is to prevent it.

How is acid rain created?

When people use fuels(燃料)， such as coal and gasoline， poisonous gases are given off. When these gases mix with rain， acid rain forms. Many power stations burn fuels in order to create the

electricity(电) that we use in our homes and offices every day. Cars and trucks also send these gases into the air when they burn gasoline .When rain mixes with these gases， harmful things called acids form. This is acid rain.

How does acid rain affect us?

Acid rain damages(毁坏)everything that it touches. It poisons our rivers， ponds， lakes， and oceans along with all the life in them. It pollutes our soil and crops， harms trees， and can even kill fish and plants. Acid rain also eats away at buildings.

How can we prevent acid rain?

We need to cut down on the pollution that gets into our air. Turn off lights， television， and other electrical appliances if you are not using them， Walk or take a bike whenever possible. If you are travelling a long distance， take a bus or train to save fuel.

A research shows， acid rain harms our environment. But people everywhere can take small steps now to help protect our environment for future generations.

Playing with birds

Date: 1983

Location: Deshengmen

In the 1980s, the trolley bus (无轨电车) and bus ran across empty roads, while carriages carrying goods or vegetables kept pace.

The most commonly seen transportation was the bicycles, with different brands (品牌), styles and functions.

For at least 3,000 years, the Chinese have written stories and poems out giant pandas. Ancient writings say that emperors kept these pandas as a sign of wealth (财富). A giant panda's skull (头盖骨) was found in the tomb of an empress who lived over 2,000 years ago. Skins and bones of pandas have been discovered in older tombs as well. Today pandas are China's national symbol of peace and friendship, they are usually sent to other countries as popular presents.

All the forests of southern and eastern China were once the home of pandas. Now they live in the south-central mountains of Sichuan, Shanxi, and Gansu Provinces. The Chinese government has set up nature reserves in these mountains to protect pandas and other species of plants and animals.

Giant pandas have been known to spend up to 16 hours a day eating. They eat 30 to 40 pounds of food in one day! The reason why pandas eat so much is that bamboo doesn't have many nutrients (营养物). They need to consume (消耗) a lot. Bamboo is also hard to digest (消化) and passes through their bodies very quickly.

Pandas in the wild might live for 20 years. Pandas live longer in zoos. Hsing Hsing was 28 when he died at the Smithsonian National Zoo. In China, pandas in zoos have lived to be even older.

28、   "Long time no see" is a very interesting sentence. When I first read this sentence from a US friend's e-mail, I laughed. I thought it was a classic 【1】(例子) of Chinglish.

Obviously, it is a word-to-word 【2】(翻译) of the Chinese greetings with a bad English structure and grammar! Later on, my friend told me that it is a 【3】(常见的) greeting in the US. I could 【4】(几乎不) believe her. Her words were not believable enough. So I did a【5】 (搜索) on google.com. To my surprise, there are over 60 thousand web 【6】(页) containing "Long time no see". This sentence has been 【7】(广泛地) used in e-mails, letters, newspapers, movies, books or any other possible place. Though it is not 【8】(正式) enough, it is part of the language 【9】(美国人) use daily. However, if you type this sentence in Microsoft Word, the software will tell you that the grammar needs to 【10】 (改正).

Nobody knows how this Chinglish sentence 【11】 (开始). Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan's movies. In the 1930s, Hollywood moviemakers 【12】(成功地)created a world wide famous Chinese detective 【13】(名为) "Charlie Chan" on screens. Detective Chan liked to teach people some Chinese 【14】(智慧) by using what Confucius said. "Long time no see" was his trademark. Shortly after, "Long time no see" became a 【15】(流行的) expression in the real world.
