2025-2026学年河南周口初一(上)期末试卷英语

1、阅读下面的短文，将划线部分译成英文或中文。

Lionel Messi is a goal machine and is often considered one of the best football players in the world. 1. There’re so many things to be learned from his successful story.

Messi was born in Argentina and comes from a poor family. Messi grew up very with his grandmother, so when she passed away, 2. he was in deep pain and decided to make his grandmother proud of him. At five, he started playing football for a local club and dreamed of becoming a professional football player. But that dream started to fall apart when he was told he got a growth disease. 3. This meant that he couldn’t grow very tall unless he received a treatment that cost $1,600 per month. His parents couldn’t afford it. But even though Messi was the shortest player in his team, his talent was so outstanding and soon he was noticed by the coach(教练) of Football Club Barcelona. The coach was amazed by Messi’s abilities and talent. 4. 他知道他天生就该踢足球 and soon offered Messi a contract(合同) that would change his life forever.

There is no doubt Messi is successful. He even has his own word which was added to the Spanish dictionary. The word is “inmessionante”, which means the greatest player of all time. 5. 但他的成功并非偶然 or from just luck. He worked really, really hard and had to give up many things to become who he is today. “I start early and stay late day after day, year after year. It took me 17 years and 114 days to become an overnight success”, Messi once said. So give everything you’ve got and start working on your dreams.

27、For middle and primary school students, being able to cook has become a must. They will also need to learn how to plant vegetables, raise poultry(家禽) and maintain home appliances(修理家电) under new requirements for labor(劳动) education. The Ministry of Education (MOE) brought out a new standard for labor education in schools last year. Starting from the 2022 fall term, students in primary and middle schools have to take courses on labor skills at least once a week.

Labor education helps students value hard work. It includes things like household chores, on-campus labor and community volunteer services. The new standards include three types of labor tasks. The first is for things like everyday chores, including cleaning, organizing, cooking, and using and maintaining home appliances. Next is productive labor, including agriculture(农业), making traditional handicrafts, and applying new technologies such as 3D printing and laser cutting(激光切割). The third type is service work, which includes volunteer work. Schools in China have traditionally placed more focus on studying, and many have seen household chores as a waste of children’s time. But according to the MOE, labor education must be built up to help students develop social values and develop an interest in labor. Online, people have been busy discussing the new standards on social media. Liu Fang, a mother of 6-year-old twins in Beijing, strongly supports labor education. For the past year, she has trained her daughters to do household chores and make simple dishes for the family. “The main idea is to let them share responsibility as family members and become independent as early as they can,” said Liu. “Through doing housework, their hand-eye coordination(协调),time management and organization skills can be trained and it’s also good to help them relax.” Through such education, Liu said her twins have found fun in doing chores and are more independent.

A．labor education is for students from primary school to college

B．students can get nothing for taking labor courses

C．labor education started in the fall term of 2022

D．students have to take three labor courses every week

【2】What can students learn through labor education?

a. How to plant vegetables.

b. How to raise chickens or ducks.

c. How to be more focused in class.

d. How to fix computers or fridges.

A．abc

B．abd

C．bed

D．acd

【3】Liu Fang thinks that labor education ________.

A．is too simple for students

B．isn’t fun enough for students

C．takes up too much of students’ free time

D．helps students develop different skills

【4】What’s the main idea of this passage?

A．New courses for primary school students.

B．Labor education for primary and middle school students.

C．Ways to cultivate students’ social values.

D．New technologies used in primary and middle schools.
