镇江2025学年度第二学期期末教学质量检测初三英语

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、In today’s world many people seem to be hungry for money. Some of them even lose their lives for it. Money does have its most useful effect(影响)on the poor，but once a person has a rich life，a lot more money doesn’t mean more happiness.

If money was everything，all millionaires(百万富翁)would have true love， true friendship，good health and a long life. However，this is not always true.

Of all the longest living people in the world， few of them are millionaires. True friendship can’t be bought either. In a word，Where money is worshiped(崇拜)，money can cause brothers to quarrel，lovers to hate，strangers to fight and so on.

26、 Twenty years ago，I drove a taxi for a living.  One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2：30 a. m. . When I arrived to collect，I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.

I walked to the door and knocked，“Just a minute，”answered a weak，elderly voice.  After a long pause(停顿)，the door opened.  A small woman over eighty stood before me.  By her side was a small suitcase.  I took the suitcase to the car， and then returned to help the woman.  She took my arm and we walked slowly towards the car.  She kept thanking me for my kindness.

“It's nothing ，” I told her . “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother

treated.”

“Oh，you're such a good man.”She said.  When we got into the taxi，she gave me an address，and then asked，“Could you drive through downtown ?”

“It's not the shortest way，”I answered quickly.

“ Oh ，  I'm in no hurry ， ”  she said.  “ I'm on my way to a hospice(临终医院). I don't have any family left.  The doctor says I can't live very long .”

I quietly reached over and shut off the meter(计价器).

For the next two hours，we drove through the city.  She showed me the building where she had once worked，the neighborhood where she had lived，and the furniture shop that had once been，a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.

Sometimes she'd ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness，saying nothing.

At dawn，she suddenly said，“I'm tired.  Let's go now.”We drove in silence to the address she had given me.

“How much do I owe you?” she asked.

“ Nothing .” I said.

“You have to make a living，”she answered.“Oh，there are other passengers，”I answered.

Almost without thinking，  I bent and gave her a hug(拥抱). She held onto tightly.  Our hug

27、   When Randy Heiss went hiking behind his Patagonia, Ariz farm, the last thing he expected to find was a Christmas list from a little girl across the US-Mexico border( 边境). “I found this balloon on my morning walk near Patagonia on Sunday.

Attached(系上) to it was a piece of paper with the Christmas wishes from a little girl,” Heiss wrote on his Facebook page.

When he brought the list home to his wife, who speaks Spanish well, they discovered that the little girl had asked for toys, clothes, art supplies(美术用品) and many other gifts. That's when Heiss set out to make the little girl’s Christmas dreams come true. Heiss said he had tried to send Christmas letters to Santa Claus by balloon when he was a kid, but never received a reply.

Heiss sent a Facebook message on Wednesday to XENY, a radio station in Nogales, to see if it could help him find out the girl or her family. He later received a reply from the station, which was sure that the writer of the letter was an 8-year-old girl named Dayami. And the station wanted to set up a meeting between the two on Thursday. "It just changed my whole day, " Heiss told the  ashington Post. " Instead of going back to my office in Bisbee, I went with my wife to Walmart."The couple bought almost everything on Dayami's list. They also brought a few gifts for Dayami's little sister, Ximena. They told the children they were Santa's helpers.

Heiss, 60, said the experience was very helpful for him and his wife. Nine years ago, the couple's only son died. "Being around children at Christmas time has been absent in our lives." Heiss said. "We now have friends for life. For a day, that border fence would be moved away."

Ms. Priestley said, “Sit down, Nimmy.”

I don’t think Ms. Priestley likes me. I am terrible in art.

“Today we’re going to draw a fantasy picture,” Ms. Priestley said.

“This will be ______ !” Leon said. That’s why no one liked to sit by Leon. He was too excited.

I drew wild zigzags and two lines across the page. “What are you drawing?” Leon asked. I sighed (叹息着说). “Mountains and a river.”

“That’s not fantasy. Why not make it a dragon instead?” I looked _______ at him.

“The mountains could be the scales (鳞片) along its back,  the river could be a long tail,” Leon smiled hopefully.

Ms. Priestley was moving around the classroom. “That’s a very nice ______, Nimmy.” Ms. Priestley’s voice made me jump.

I smiled shyly, because it wasn’t totally my idea, “It was Leon’s,” I said.

Ms. Priestley’s smile grew wider. “Excellent, Leon. We must always be willing to share our ideas.” Then Ms. Priestley continued, “ Nimmy, why don’t you ______ Leon some advice?” On Leon’s paper was a space farm. “It’s nice,” I offered.

“And…”  Ms. Priestley said encouragingly.

“Maybe… maybe you could add … some levels. Each level for something different,” I added. Leon _______ happily.
