巴中2024-2025学年第一学期期末教学质量检测试题(卷)初三英语

1、   Ladies and gentleman,

Welcome to Boston University on such a beautiful Friday night.

My name is Yujing Cai, and I am a graduate from the Master of Mathematical Finance program. I come from Nanjing, China, one of the oldest cities in the world. Right now, my family is sitting somewhere over there. 45. They travelled across half of the earth to attend their daughter’s graduation ceremony. And they are watching me giving a speech in a language they don’t understand. Therefore, I am tremendously honored to share my perspective of 6 years at the Questrom School of Business.

46. The thing I always enjoyed doing was looking at the different country flags in the hall. Sometimes my friends and I even have silly competitions going on to see who knew more flags and it often amazed me how many different cultures and nationalities are represented in our community.

In the past 6 years here. 47. 我很自豪见证了我们学校的成长。 from School of Management to Questrom School of Business, and that our community is growing stronger and better each year, and this couldn’t have happened without the effort of everyone here to share, to inspire, and to embrace each other.

Let’s now think about the future. 48. 没有人知道我们将会面临什么样的挑战。But we are sure that we will need a diverse(多样的) set of skills and knowledge. 49. And the most important of all is that we need an open mind to learn. That’s why we have been so lucky to be part of the Questrom community that cultivated such freedom of an open mind.

So, congratulations, class of 2017! For when you walk outside that door today, you are already equipped with one of the most critical skills to succeed in the future, the ability to embrace diversity. Thank you so much!

24、Late on a Friday night, Asia Faircloth had one question for the seven teenagers for the next three hours. “You want to play with knives?” the cooking teacher asked.

In two groups, the students were busy in a kitchen at the High Point Community Center in Seattle, the US. Asia Faircloth taught one group how to cook noodles with tofu and chicken. The other group joined Jacob Alhadeff to practice new chopping skills with knives.

The center’s four-week cooking course was centered on cooking and food justice. The city recruited students from poor families. Each student received 100 dollars at the end of the course.

“Low-income（低收入）people of color are more likely to meet food injustice（不公正）,” Alhadeff said. “So teaching cooking skills and putting money back in the pockets of our community members seemed very important.”

Alhadeff and Faircloth started the course not only to teach kids how to cook, but also to encourage them to think more deeply about something behind food. They were shown how to connect the dots between personal choices and the cost of global food supplies（供给）.

Tahir Adams and Najah Goodrich, two juniors at Seattle Lutheran High School, joined the classes. They talked about how farmers have a hard time putting food on their own kitchen tables while growing fresh vegetables for the rest of the country.

“We started with more personal things, then looked at the bigger, global view like, how climate change has influenced food,” Adams said. “It can be really bad when droughts（干旱）turn places into deserts.”

【1】What do we know about the cooking course?

A．It mainly focused on cooking skills.

B．It was held in Seattle, the US.

C．The students were from rich families.

D．Each student paid 100 dollars for the course.

【2】What does the underlined word “recruited” mean in Chinese?

A．招募

B．关注

C．派遣

D．调查

【3】In the fourth paragraph, Alhadeff explains _________.

A．the standards for choosing students

B．community members are stupid

C．the importance of giving students money

D．why the course provides cooking skills

【4】In the cooking course, students were encouraged ________.

A．to use cooking skills to make money

B．to focus on personal choices

C．to learn to grow fresh vegetables

D．to think more deeply about food

【5】What can we infer（推断）from what Adams and Goodrich said?

A．They were proud of the cooking skills they learned.

B．They learned nothing much from the course.

C．The course widened their views on food.

D．The course taught them how to solve droughts.

25、Why is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys?

The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences． To the Egyptians， green is a color that means the hope and joy of spring， while for Muslims， it means heaven． Red stands for good luck in many cultures． In China， children are given money in a red envelope to bring good luck in the New Year． For many nations， blue stands for protection． Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves from bad people or bad things happening．

People’s choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies’ reactions (反应) toward them． Green is said to be the most restful color． It has the ability to cut down pain and relax people both mentally and physically． People who work in green environment have been found to have fewer stomachaches．

Red can cause a person’s blood pressure (血压) to rise and increase people’s appetites (食欲)． Many designers will include different shades of red in restaurants． Similarly， some websites will have a red “Buy Now” button because red is a color that easily catches a person’s eyes．

Blue is another color which can make you feel peacefully． Unlike red， blue can cause people to lose appetite． So if you want to eat less， some suggest that eating from blue plates can help．

The next time you are deciding on what to wear or what color to decorate your room， think about the color carefully．

【1】To the Egyptians， green means ______．

A．good luck

B．joy of spring

C．heaven

D．protection

26、   Susan Boyle was born as the ninth child in a Catholic family. She suffered from learning disabilities ever since her birth because of her mother’s poor health.

School was difficult for Susan and she was bulled(凌辱) because of her different behaviour. Her siblings, who were much older, had life experiences that were unknown to their little sister. From the time of her birth, Susan was a screamer. The only really safe place that she would use as a repeat was her bedroom. There she would hang posters of her musical heroes on the walls and sing popular music into a hairbrush that she pretended was a microphone.

One by one her brothers and sisters moved away from home and then Susan’s father died. This left her alone with an old mother and a cat. She tried volunteer work. Her best state of mind, however, was found when she was singing and so she would regularly join others in karaoke or pubs where she could show her skills and receive appreciation(欣赏)from the crowd.

When Susan announced at Christmas that she was planning to take part in the Britain’s Got Talent competition, her brothers and sisters tried to discourage her. It was a wonder that she was even able to do the audition(试唱) considering the troubles she faced just physically getting to the right place.

The Woman I Was Born to Be is a beautiful story written in the simple but humorous voice of the author, Susan Boyle. She tells her story from birth to the present in an interesting and educational manner.

I love this book ! In fact, I read the whole thing in one day! There is something in the stories that not only teaches the reader but also encourage us to reach for our dreams—no matter how impossible they may seem to be!

【1】What does the underlined part “Her siblings” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A.Susan’s parents B.Susan’s friend

A.Encouraging B.Discouraging

C.Worried D.Boring
