娄底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。

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.

26、阅读理解

In the cafeteria at Hengyang No.1 Middle School in Hunan Province, new banners (条幅) are put up: Who knows that each bowl of rice is the fruit of hard toil (谁知盘中餐，粒粒皆辛苦)? Clear your plate; refuse to waste food.

This is part of a nationwide campaign to cut down on food waste in China. The cafeteria’s manager told Hengyang News that they used to waste 100kg of food every day. But this amount has dropped by 75percent, as students are encouraged to take just the amount of food they need.

Many restaurants in China are also joining in. They encourage people to order dishes using the “N-1” formula(公式). “N” stands for the number of diners at a table. So if there are six people at your table, you should order just five dishes. If people can’t finish their meals, they are encouraged to take the leftovers(剩菜) home.

In fact, food waste has been a big problem for a long time around the world. According to a study by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Chinese restaurants wasted 17 to 18 million tons of food a year from 2013 to 2015. That could feed 30 to 50 million people for a whole year. The UN says there are 820 million people around the world who live in hunger.

By cutting down on food waste, we could help put food on the empty plates of many hungry people.

【1】What are the new banners about at Hengyang No.1 Middle School in Hunan Province?

A．About refusing to waste food.                                        

B．About ordering their favorite food

C．About improving their grades.                                        

D．About making friends with others.

【2】How many dishes should you just order if there are eight people at your table?

A．Five.                                                          

B．Six.                                                          

C．Seven.                                                          

D．Eight.

【3】Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?

A．820 million people around the world live in hunger at the moment.

B．Chinese restaurants wasted 7 to 8 million tons of food a year.

C．Hengyang No.1 Middle School used to waste 100kg of food every day.

D．Many restaurants in China are also joining in reducing food waste.

【4】What does the writer want to tell us in the last paragraph?

B．Customers should be encouraged to take the leftovers home.

C．Cutting down on food waste could help many hungry people.

28、阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或用括号中词语的正确形式填空。将答案写在答卷上

When holiday is coming to an end, how many of you have burned the midnight oil to finish your homework for several days? 【1】 the school year, when you get home from school, do you start working on your homework right away?

It is hard to be this responsible. A lot of people tend to put off difficult or 【2】 (challenge) tasks until they must be done. They are called procrastinators(拖延症患者).

Procrastination is a common problem for 【3】 (million) of people, in fact, sometimes it just feels easier to wait till the last minute to do certain things. 【4】, this is usually not a good thing, as you have to work harder and faster. This means your work will 【5】 (probable) be of less quality.

I myself am a bit of a procrastinator. But most of the time, I try to finish my work earlier rather 【6】 later. It just makes more sense – if I finish my work now, I 【7】  (have) more time to relax or work on other projects later. Sometimes, it can be hard to promise 【8】get) started immediately. But once I do, the work will get done quickly and successfully.

It’s a 【9】(nature) thing for everyone to procrastinate from time to time. You’d better not beat 【10】 (you) up over it. After all, we still need time to relax and take a break from our busy lives. Just make sure you still get your homework done on time!
