云南楚雄州2025届初二英语上册一月考试题

1、Everyone can change the world

A friend wrote me a letter a few weeks ago. He felt hopeless at the time. He ended his letter with this question: “We can’t really change this crazy world we live in, can we?” 1. 他发现改变世界是如此难。But I replied to him and started my own letter with these words: “Yes, we most certainly can!”

I can still remember someone who changed my world. She was the music teacher at my elementary school. She was good at playing the guitar. I wanted to impress her2. 然而，我不知道如何演奏好任何乐器.

One day, she let me try playing her guitar. I did my best, but could only stumble along (断断续续地弹奏). 3.When I had done it, I put my head down, never feeling so embarrassed in my whole life. “I guess I am not very good,” I told her. She looked at me with her kind eyes, smiled at me and said, “We are all good at something. You just need to find out what you are good at. Then, you can share your goodness with the world.”

Those simple words changed me.4.They planted a seed (种子) in my heart that continues to grow to this day. They made me realize that I had something good inside of me. I just had to find it and share it.

Can you change the world? Yes, you can! You can change it through one choice, one person, and one kind act at a time.5. 你要做的所有事情就是分享你的擅长之处. Mother Teresa once said, “God doesn’t ask us to do great things, only small things with great love.” So make your love great!

24、The Lantern Festival falls on the 15th of the first month of the lunar calendar. This day is always the first full moon in the new year. Ancient people also called it Shangyuan Festival. Celebrations and traditions on this day began from the Han Dynasty and became popular in the Tang Dynasty.

It is said that sky lanterns were first used by Zhuge Kongming to ask for help when he was in trouble. Today, when the lanterns slowly rise into the air, people make wishes.

25、Who is the greatest teacher in Chinese history? Many people would think of Confucius, whose birthday was September 28th. Although he lived over 2,000 years ago, people still remember and respect（尊重）him for his contribution（贡献）to the education today.

Confucius lived in the Kingdom of Lu, which lies in Shandong Province. He lived during the Spring and Autumn Period. He had a hard childhood. His father died when he was only 3. His mother brought him up.As a child, he had to work to help his mother, but young Confucius didn’t give up studying. He visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poetry and sports.

Later, he became a teacher and started the first public school in Chinese history. At that time only children from noble families could go to school, but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn. He had about 3,000 students in his lifetime.

Today, people still follow Confucius lessons. He told us that we all have something important to be learned. “When I am with three people, one of them must be better than me in some areas. I choose their good qualities（品质）and follow them.”

He also taught us that thinking is very important in study. All study but no thinking makes people puzzled（困惑的）. All thinking but no study makes people lazy.

26、When watching a movie or play, people expect the actors to be like the characters that they play. For example, if a character is a woman, one would expect an Asian actor or actress to play the character, right? Not in the old days!

Until recently, more and more people agree that actors should match the character that he or she played. For example, think about the characters in Shakespeare’s plays.

In addition, many characters in movies have not been given to actors who look like the characters. For example, the Indian movie Mary Kom is about a famous fighter from a small town. The choose to play Mary Kom was a beautiful Indian actress. But she did not look anything like the real Mary Kom.

However, in 1998, Disney chose an Asian—American lady to play the character of movie Mulan, a black actress was chosen for the voice of the main character. These were important changes in the actor choosing.
