大兴安岭地区2024-2025学年第一学期期末教学质量检测试题(卷)初三英语

1、阅读下面的短文, 将划线部分译成英文或中文。

Some students, parents and teachers in Shanghai were surveyed last month. According to the survey, the generation gap (代沟) between students and parents as well as teachers is becoming wider. Here is what they said.

Voice of the students:

“Our parents hold too high expectations which put us under lots of pressure. They care too much about our lives and studies,” one student said.

“It’s impolite that some students’ parents read their children’s diaries without permission!” one student said angrily.

“Some of our teachers are so serious that we can’t make friends with them at all,” another student said sadly.

Voice of the parents:

One mother said, “After school, my daughter usually locks herself into her room and spends lots of time talking with others on the phone. 并且我无法忍受她的衣服和发型!”

“I thought my son was doing very well in his studies. I didn’t realize I was being cheated by him until I got a call from his teacher,” said a father.

Voice of the teachers:

An English teacher said, “Today, the role of the teacher is to put knowledge into students’ brains. The power of teachers has kept students away from them.”

“Some parents pay too much attention to their children’s grades instead of creating a lively and colorful environment at home, “ another teacher said.

“In the past, teachers and students often played games together or talked with each other. 如今, 只有学习和分数被谈论”, said a teacher. “A school should be a place where students can learn not only knowledge, but also how to face failure and frustration bravely enough”

24、   It seems that we have it backward in our society. We tend to look up to people who are under a great deal of stress, who can deal with lots of stress, and those who are under a great deal of pressure. When someone says, “I've been working really hard," or "I'm really stressed out," we are taught to admire, even copy what they do. In my work as a stress consultant （顾问）I hear the proud words "I have a very high tolerance （忍耐力； 忍受力）to stress" almost every day. It probably won't come as a surprise that when these stressed-out people first arrive at my office, more often than not, what they are hoping for are methods to raise their tolerance to stress even higher so they can deal with even more!

Luckily, there is a powerful law in our emotional environment that goes something like this: our present level of stress will be exactly that of our tolerance to stress. You'll notice that the people who say, “I can deal with lots of stress" will always be under a great deal of it! So, if you teach people to raise their tolerance to stress, that's exactly what will happen. They will accept even more responsibility  until again, their level of stress matches that of their tolerance. Usually it takes a serious problem of some kind to wake up a stressed-out person to their own craziness一a great loss, a complete failure, or an unexpected illness一something  happens that forces them to search for a new kind of method.

It may seem strange, but if you were to join in the stress management workshop, what you would probably learn is to raise your tolerance to stress. It seems that even stress consultants are stressed out!

What you want to start doing is noticing your stress early before it gets out of hand. When your schedule （日程安排）is getting out of hand, it's a sign that it's time to slow down and reconsider what's important rather than power through everything on the list. When you're feeling out of control and tired of all you have to do, rather than roll up your sleeves and "get to it,” a better method is to relax, take a few deep breaths, and go for a short walk. You'll find that when you catch yourself getting too stressed out一early, before it gets out of control一your stress will be like the "snowball" rolling down the hill. When it's small, it's manageable and easy to control. Once it gathers more, however, it's difficult, if not impossible, to stop.

There's no need to worry that you won't get it all done. When your mind is clear and peaceful and your stress level comes down, you'll be more effective and you'll have more fun. As you lower your tolerance to stress, you will find that you'll have far less stress to deal with, as well as creative ideas for dealing with the stress that is left over.

【1】People hoping to raise their tolerance will probably_________.

A.shoulder fewer responsibilities B.have to deal with more stress

C.refuse to listen to the consultant D.manage to solve problems well

【2】The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 probably means _________.

A.the level of stress differs from their tolerance

B.the level of stress changes with their tolerance

C.the level of stress goes beyond their tolerance

D.the level of stress falls below their tolerance

【3】What is the main idea of Paragraph 4?

A.We should follow our schedule and power through everything on the list.

B.Rolling the snowball down the hill can help us relax and feel less stressed.

C.It's wise to notice the early sign of stress and manage it as soon as possible.

D.Going for a walk is a better choice when you are tired of what you're doing.

【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A.Lower Your Tolerance to Stress B.Turn to Your Consultant for Help

C.Better Your Emotional Environment D.Get Close to Nature to Lower Stress

26、A situation in which a student is troubled by his parents asking him to go into a job area that makes good money but he doesn’t want to go into, is a bad situation. The question is whether he should go into this job or not.

To start with, you need to go for what is best for YOU, even if there would be some negative(消极的)results. You can’t be happy if you don’t make decisions that are right for you. If you do not make your own decisions and make decisions that will be good for you, your life would be a big lie to yourself, which is not a sign that you have done something you wanted to do.

Living a lie would not be a very good life. The truth is much better than living a lie. If your whole life is a lie, then it is not a very beautiful life at all. In the song Lyin’ Eyes, the woman is living a lie by pretending(假装)she loves the old man, while in reality she was just in it for money. As a result, her life is miserable(悲惨的) and a big lie.

And finally, money cannot buy happiness. A good example of this is also from the song Lyin’ Eyes. The only reason why the woman married the old man was for the money and gifts she would receive. This results in her life are not happy at all. This just goes to show that no matter how much money you have, your life still might not be happy. It takes a lot more than a bunch of green paper to make your life a good one.

In conclusion, doing what you want is best. If you don’t do what you want to, you won’t be happy with your life.

【1】What is the passage mainly about?

A. Parents should not ask their children to live a lie.

B. There is something more important than money in life.

C. Young people should make their own career decisions.

D. Young people are happy to make their own decisions.

【2】The underlined part a bunch of green paper in Paragraph 4 refers to(指) _______.

A. gifts   B. dreams

C. imagination   D. money

【3】Which of the following arguments is NOT used to support the writer’s conclusion?

A. It’s best to do what you want.

B. You need to make your own decisions.

C. Money doesn’t mean happiness.

D. Living a lie would not be good.

27、Are you wearing old clothes?

Don’t worry if you are. Clothes bought at thrift shops are more popular than ever in the West nowadays.

A lot of young people have an interest in secondhand clothing.

Goodwill Industries, one of the most famous secondhand shopping companies in the US, said there had been an increase of 84 percent in money made from the sale of donated goods from 2007 to 2012, from $1.9 billion(about 13 billion yuan) to $3.5 billion.

Fanny Moizant, an online group that sells used clothes from luxury brands(奢侈品牌), agrees that “secondhand” is part of fashion now.

“Fashion has changed,” she told the Financial Times last month.” People need our service ----they need a place to let go and get rid of this excess(过剩).”

It wasn’t always this way. Secondhand clothes used to be much less popular.

Keren Charles, 37, from the US, remembers how embarrassed she was the first time she entered a thrift store more than 20 years ago.

“I didn’t want anyone to see me,” Charles told CNN. “In high school, people thought you were either poor or homeless.”

Now, the fashion fan says about 97 percent of her clothes are secondhand. Her favorite find is a $5 blue evening dress that could be worth hundreds of dollars.

So what is a thrift shop, exactly?

According to the US Association of Resale Professionals, a thrift shop is run by a not-for –profit（非盈利的）organization to get money to charitable causes.

The shops have become popular in recent times due to economic reasons.

More customers began coming to thrift shops in the US at the start of the recession(萧条), according to CNN.

And now secondhand clothing and vintage items are showing up in Western high fashion and street wear.

Fashionable hip-hop artist Macklemore and Ryan Lewis even wore a 2013 Billboard Music Award for their hit song Thrift Shop. The song is about “looking for a come up”(search for cheap things in a thrift store.

However, thrift store culture may be great for new shoppers and for business but it’s not so great for shoppers like Charles who are still “looking for a come up.”

“The competition is tough now,” she told CNN. “You’re in the thrift stores, and you’re seeing so many other people, but it’s still better than shopping at a department store.”

【1】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?

A. Vintage items sell better than other used clothes.

B. Thrift shops are a new form of shops that have appeared in the last 10 years.

C. Thrift shops sell used clothes in order to help people in need.

D. Young people show less interest in secondhand clothing than older people.

【2】According to the article, secondhand clothes have become popular in the West because _______.

A. there are more thrift stores to shop in

B. people have to live on less money

C. artists and stars are often seen in secondhand clothes

D. people now care less about others’ opinions

【3】The underlined word “Vintage” in paragraph 15 probably means“_________”.

A. old but expensive   B. large and very beautiful   C. old but high quality   D. popular and new

【4】What is the article mainly about?

A. The popularity of thrift store culture.

B. The importance of recycling secondhand clothes.

C. Different attitudes toward thrift shops.

D. The influence of the economy on fashion.

28、根据短文内容和首字母提示，在下文空格处填入适当的词使短文完整。在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。（每空一词）

I gave the young man I had saved some bread and water. After his run and hiking to the cave, he was tired out. I showed him a bed and blanket and q【1】 he fell asleep.

As I studied him, I g【2】 his age at around twenty-six. He was tall with straight, strong legs and arms. He looked kind, e【3】 when he smiled.

I climbed out of the cave to keep watch. The young man slept only about a half hour b【4】 coming out of the cave. Again he made gestures(手势) to show that he was grateful to me.

We c【5】 mainly by gestures at first. Soon my new servant showed himself much b【6】 at learning my language than I was at learning his. I c【7】 him Friday, for it was on a Friday that I saved him. He quickly learned “yes” and “no” and the names for different objects.”

We spent a full day at the cave, then returned to the beach to see i【8】 those people who wanted to catch him were still here. They had gone without searching for either Friday or his partners.

When we returned to my cave, I p【9】 Friday with some clothes and a little rabbit-fur hat. Friday wore the clothes to make me happy, even though he was comfortable with nothing on.

At first I separated Friday from me in a single room because I couldn’t trust him completely. But it soon became clear that was u【10】. He seemed almost to consider me like a father.

29、We are living a fast life. It seems that everything has to be fast, for example,     food, fast Internet, fast roads, fast money. Every day we try to get things done , but there are some moments that we have to slow down and enjoy our lives.

We are always   every day. I have to work eight hours or more a day at my full-time job. When I get home, it’s always over seven o’clock. I make an effort（努力） to   something. I try to find a bit of time for my hobby—writing. I hardly ever write and work   weekends. Those are my days to try to recharge （休整）and reduce the stress from my work. I sleep on the sofa during the day,   some beer in the open air or go out for a picnic if the weather is nice.

What I’m trying to say is this: if you don’t take some time to slow down once in a while（偶尔） and   your life, it will pass you by. You can be unhealthy both in body and mind if you don’t take the time to relax. So this weekend, don’t make any     . Just get up on Saturday morning    your body says it’s time to get up. Make some coffee, step outside and get   fresh morning air, turn on the radio and prepare yourself for nothing.
