鸡西2024-2025学年第二学期期末教学质量检测试题(卷)初二英语

1、I think it is important for children to learn how to do chores and help their parents with housework. It is not enough to just get good grades at school. 61Children these days depend on their parents too much. They are always asking, 62“你能给我拿一下这个吗？”or “Could you help me with that?” Doing chores helps to develop children’s independence and teaches them how to look after themselves. 63It also helps them to understand the idea of fairness. Since they live in one house with their parents, they should know that everyone should do their part in keeping it clean and tidy. Our neighbors’son got into a good college but during his first year,64他不知道怎样照顾自己.As a result, he often fell ill and his grades dropped.65.The earlier kids learn to be independent, the better it is for their future.

24、   Monkeys seem to have a way with numbers.

A team of researchers trained three Rhesus monkeys to associate 26 clearly different symbols made up of numbers and selective letters with 0-25 drops of water or juice as a reward. The researchers then tested how the monkeys combined—or added—the symbols to get the reward.

Here's how Harvard Medical School scientist Margaret Livingstone, who led the team, described the experiment: In their cages the monkeys were provided with touch screens. On one part of the screen, a symbol would appear, and on the other side two symbols inside a circle were shown. For example, the number 7 would flash on one side of the screen and the other end would have 9 and 8. If the monkeys touched the left side of the screen they would be rewarded with seven drops of water or juice; if they went for the circle, they would be rewarded with the sum of the numbers—17 in this example.

After running hundreds of tests, the researchers noted that the monkeys would go for the higher values more than half the time, showing that they were performing a calculation(计算), not just remembering the value of each combination.

When the team studied the results of the experiment more closely, they noticed that the monkeys tended to underestimate(低估)a sum compared with a single symbol when the two were close in value—sometimes choosing, for example, a 13 over the sum of 8 and 6. The underestimation was systematic: When adding two numbers, the monkeys always paid attention to the larger of the two, and then added only a fraction(小部分)of the smaller number to it.

"This shows that there is a certain way number is represented in their brains, "Dr. Livingstone says. “But in this experiment what they're doing is paying more attention to the big number than the little one.”

【1】What did the researchers do to the monkeys before testing them?

A.They fed them. B.They named them.

C.They trained them. D.They washed them.

【2】How did the monkeys get their reward in the experiment?

A.By drawing a circle. B.By touching a screen.

C.By watching videos. D.By mixing two drinks.

【3】What did Livingstone's team find about the monkeys?

A.They could perform basic addition. B.They could understand simple words.

C.They could remember numbers easily. D.They could hold their attention for long.

【4】In which part of a newspaper may this text appear?

A.Science. B.Health. C.Education. D.Entertainment.

25、   Caring for Mother Earth

26、October 16 is World Food Day. The UN started the day in 1979. It is used to remind people not to waste food and fight hunger (饥饿).

Food shortage (匮乏) is a big problem around the world. Right now, there are more than 1 billion (10亿) hungry people in the world. Many children go to sleep with hunger, and 15 million of them die because of hunger each year.

There are several reasons why there are food shortages. First, there have been more droughts (干旱) and floods (洪涝) recently. This is bad for farmers and hurts their ability to grow food. Also, a growing population makes it more difficult to feed everyone. Another big reason is food waste. Most people don’t realize how much food they throw away every day. Sometimes we cook too much, or we don’t use it before it goes bad. The average (平均的) person throws away 50 kg of food every year, More than one third of all food produced goes to waste around the world each year according to the UN. That is1.3 billion tons of food being wasted.

If the wasted food was saved, it could feed lots of people. The amount of food wasted in Europe could feed 200 million people, and the food wasted in Latin America (拉丁美洲) could feed 300 million people.

As teenagers, we should think twice next time we want to throw away extra (额外的) food on our own plate. By cutting down on food waste, we could also help put food on the empty plates of some hungry children.

【1】The main purpose (目标) of World Food Day is to remind people ________.

A．not to waste food and fight hunger

B．to produce more food

C．to control the growing population

D．not to eat much

A．Over 1 billion

B．200 million

C．300million

D．15 million

【3】Which of the following is NOT the reason for food shortages? ________

A．More droughts and floods in recent days.

B．A growing population.

C．That farmers don’t have the ability to grow food.

D．That most people waste.

【4】We can help hungry people by ________.

A．sleeping with hunger

B．changing the weather

C．cutting down on food waste

D．only eating food you like

【5】From the passage, we know that ________.

A．the food wasted in Latin America is more than that in Europe

B．the World Food Day has a history of over 40years by 2017

27、Miguel gathered his guitar and all the Ernesto de la Cruz albums he could carry and rushed down from the rooftop. His family surrounded him when he reached the yard.

Abuelita’s eyes darted from the guitar to the albums. “What is all this?” she said. “You keep secrets from your own family?”

“It’s all that time he spends in the plaza,” Tio Berto said.

“Fills his head with crazy fantasies,” Tia Gloria added.

“It’s not a fantasy (幻想)!” Miguel protested. He handed his father the old photograph of Mama Imelda, Coco, and the unidentified (未知身份的) man and pointed to the guitar. “That man was Ernesto de la Cruz! The greatest musician of all time!”

“We’ve never known anything about this man. But whoever he was, he still left his family,” Miguel’s father said. “This is no future for my son.”

“But, Papa, you told me to look to the ofrenda (灵坛). You said my family would guide me! Well, Ernesto de la Cruz is my family! I’m supposed to play music!”

“Never! That man’s music was a curse (诅咒)! I will not allow it!” Abuelita said, raising her voice.

“You will listen to your family. No more music,” added Miguel’s father.

“Just listen to me play – ” “End of argument,” Papa said.

Miguel thought they’d change their minds if they heard him play. He lifted his guitar and prepared to strum, but Abuelita snatched it from his hands. She pointed to the photo. “You want to end up like that man? Forgotten? Left off your family’s ofrenda?”

“I don’t care if I’m on some stupid ofrenda!” The words burst out before Miguel could stop them. He couldn’t take them back, even though he wanted to.

The family gasped. Abuelita’s brow hardened. She raised the guitar in the air.

“No!” Miguel cried.

“Mama,” Miguel’s dad said just as Abuelita smashed (撞击) the guitar against the ground.

“There! No guitar, no music,” she said.

The whole family was silent as Miguel stared at his guitar, shattered into a hundred pieces on the ground. Miguel couldn’t move — he felt like someone had smashed him to pieces.

D．Because he thought music couldn’t guide Miguel to a bright future instead of family.

Last week in Geography class we learnt that if all the ice in the North and South Poles melted, sea level around the world would rise and many cities would be flooded and disappear. It started to worry me. What would happen if our city was b【1】 flooded? Would anyone remain alive?

Last night, I dreamt about a great flood. It was nine o’clock in the morning. My bedroom floor was a p【2】 of water. I looked out of the window. Water was e【3】. It covered roads, parks and small houses. Large objects, such as coaches and boats, passed by my window. They were floating in the water. I could not just stand there! I had to do something!

I tried to call my dad, but the l【4】 was dead. My computer was still working, so I sent him an email. I wrote, “Dad, there’s a flood! What should we do?” He sent me an email back w【5】 said, “Kevin, my boss has g【6】 me some work. It’s important to stick with it.

In surprise, people finally stated to notice the flood, but it was too late. Then I awoke. There was no water. I was ѕаfе-fоr поw.
