牡丹江2025学年度第二学期期末教学质量检测初二英语

1、   There is a tradition at my school that when Changsha High School Entrance Examination is less than a month away, students in the lower grades, from Grade 7 to Grade 8, all gather together on the ground in front of the teaching building and cheer on the Grade 9 students who are standing upstairs.1. It wasn’t until I took part in the activity in person that I understood the true meaning of it.

2. 那时我上7年级。On that special night, all the Grade 9 students stood in the hallways and looked down at the younger students below. Various cheers started to resound throughout the school, wave after wave. “Believe in yourself! You will succeed!”

Seeing everyone’s smiling face around us,3.我们想起了一句著名的格言。It’s from the American philosopher (哲学家) Henry David Thoreau, 4.“What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.”

Soon it will be my turn to receive blessing in this way.5. That also means we will have to say goodbye to our school. Although it will be sad, being cheered on by so many students will still be one of the brightest time of my life.

24、   The moment I stepped off the plane after a writer’s meeting, my youngest son Jeremy greeted me and cried out, “Poster paper, Mama! I need poster paper. We’re having a competition at school.”

Being a housewife and writer, I felt like no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t keep up with the needs of my family. Back at home, Jeremy kept reminding me of the poster paper, but I just couldn’t spare a minute for it. Gradually though, he began to speak more softly, almost as if he were talking to himself. Maybe he’ll just forget it, I thought hopefully. So I put Jeremy’s request at the bottom of my long list of things to do.

My third day home I managed to take fifteen minutes to type an article when a small shadow fell across my paper. I knew who it would be before I looked up. Jeremy stood quietly watching me. Oh, my God, please don’t let him say it again. I knew what he wanted but I needed to type. I smiled weakly at Jeremy and kept typing. He watched for a few more minutes, then turned and walked away. I almost didn’t hear his words. “Competition is over tomorrow, anyway.” The small figure walking out of my room, a silent voice spoke urgently to my heart, “Get him that paper－now!”

“Let’s go to get the paper, Jeremy.” He stopped, turned around and looked at me in surprise. “You’re going to the store just for me?” I nodded. Suddenly, a look of excitement shot across his face, taking away the disbelief. I don’t think I’ll ever forget that moment. Later that day, he worked silently on the poster all afternoon. And a few weeks later, a large yellow envelope came. Inside it was the Certificate( 证 书 ) of Award. So grateful was I that I didn’t turned away from his request to get him some poster paper.

B.Because she thought his son would forget it soon.

26、

In a country where 1. 3 billion people speak 22 officially-recognized languages and hundreds of dialects (方言), communication online can be a problem.

Although there is a rapid rise in the number of Indian internet users who don’t speak English as the first language, 60% won’t shop online because of language problems.

Niki, a voice-enabled e-business app, is trying to solve this. It helps people to use voice commands (指令) to do shopping online. Users speak to the app in their preferred language, ordering products. Niki then presents buying choices from its product providers.

The company’s goal market is people who don’t live in cities and do not speak English In the northern Indian state of Rajasthan, the app has been used for more than 10 million online transactions (交易) since 2018. Now Niki can offer people service in Hindi, Bengali, Tamil and English. The company is planning to introduce seven more languages, and hopes to carry out its business in 10 more states.

Thanks to a machine learning algorithm (算法), Niki is able to understand languages better and better. When the app first appeared, the algorithm only had a 65% accuracy (准确) rate. Now, it can deal with voice commands with 95% accuracy because of a bank of over 250 million conversations, Jaiswal says.

The app differs from typical online marketplaces. It limits the number of buying choices. Rather than offering many similar products as the supermarkets do, Niki presents a few quality - controlled objects from providers. That is more like a la sore.

When users speak to Niki in their native language, the app speaks back in the way of neighborhood shopkeeper. This “culture of service” is popular with many Indian people.
