榆林2025学年度第二学期期末教学质量检测初三英语

1、阅读下面的短文，将画线部分译成英文或中文。

You are in your last year of junior high school.（1）Have you thought about what it will be like in high school? Are you ready for a fresh start in a new environment? Some high school graduates from the United States share their tips:

Organize and plan your studies

“The biggest thing is to stay organized,” says Philip Tubiolo, a graduate from Bayport High School.（2）He says you can use either paper or online tools to help with your studies. "I would transfer (转换) paper notes online and make study guides. Everything was in one spot (场所) for finals and midterms."

Find your interests

“I knew I was more of a science kid,” says Bayport’s Tubiolo. “I took AP Biology in 10th grade and loved it.”（3）AP classes are college-level classes that high school students can take.He also joined his school’s Science Olympiad team.（4）在一次国际数学比赛中，他赢得了一等奖。He even decided on a college major, although most students don’t need to make this choice so early.

Find healthy ways to relieve stress and have fun

“It’s not just study, study, study,” says Roslyn High School student Todd Warshawsky. "I was a track (田径) runner. That was a stress reliever from study." Sachem North High School graduate Erin Maryzek agrees. “（5）我们都应该学会在学校生活中找到一些有趣的事情,” says the Northeastern University freshman.

24、How long are you willing to wait for a webpage to open before you start to lose your patience? Half a minute? A few seconds?

Google engineers have discovered that even 400 milliseconds ― as short as the blink (眨眼) of an eye ― is too long for most Internet users.

A millisecond is one thousandth of a second. People hardly notice such a small time difference, but it does cause them to stop searching, reported The New York Times.

“Of course you don’t like to wait,” said Arvind Jain, a Google engineer. “Every millisecond matters.”

Now, millions of smart-phones and computers are always sending out information. With so many people downloading (下载) maps, sports videos, news and restaurant recommendations, you can get online “traffic jams (交通阻塞)”. Users are expecting faster and faster service.

Google found that if one website is 250 milliseconds slower than another website, then people will visit it less often. This is why technology companies try their best to be the fastest.

Achieving a higher speed has always been part of the history of the Internet.

In the 1990s, when the World Wide Web first started to become popular, it was very crowded and slow; people called it the “World Wide Wait”. But engineers managed to fight the problem with new inventions. They improved software so it would work more smoothly; they made computer servers all around the world nearer to users; all these increased speed.

Now we can enjoy much faster Internet. Major search engines (引擎) such as Google and Microsoft’s Bing usually find search results in less than a second. But they will need to keep fighting to keep up with the developing needs of Internet users.

【1】What does the report of The New York Times indicate (暗示)?

A. A millisecond is one thousandth of a second.

B. A millisecond has nothing to do with the Internet speed.

C. A millisecond really makes a difference to the Internet users.

D. 400 milliseconds is not so long for most Internet users.

【2】How does the writer feel about the future of the Internet speed?

A. Excited. B. Interested.

C. Confident. D. Discouraged.

【3】What can be the best title of this passage?

A. Don’t make me “www.wait”.

B. Search engines work faster.

C. Traffic jams keep us waiting.

D. The World Wide Web becomes popular.

25、   A young man went to visit a wise man who lived deep in the mountain.

“Excuse me! Could you tell me what is the most important day in our lives? Is it the day we were born or the day we die? Is it the day we fall in love or the day we are successful?” the young man asked.

“None. The most important day in our lives is today,” the wise man replied calmly.

“Why?” the young man was surprised. “Is it because there is some unusual event taking place today?”

“No matter how important yesterday is, it has gone by; no matter how wonderful tomorrow may be, it hasn’t come; no matter how ordinary and boring today is, it’s in our hands.”
