云南普洱2025届初二英语上册二月考试题

1、阅读下面的短文，将短文中画线部分的句子翻译成中文。

When people say Chinese culture, we often think of paper cutting. 1.Paper cutting is an art form which has a long history. Traditional paper-cuts were first put on windows for decoration (装饰). That is why paper-cuts are also called “window flowers”. Most paper-cuts are made of red paper, because red means good luck in Chinese culture. Today, people use paper-cuts to decorate not only windows, but also doors and other furniture (家具). Sometimes, people use them as gifts.

Paper-cuts are popular because of their expressions of good wishes and hopes. During the Spring Festival, for example, many people put up paper-cuts of the Chinese character (汉字)   “Fu” upside down on the door. They hope that it will bring them good luck.

If you think paper cutting is difficult, you’re wrong. 2.It’s easy to learn it. With a piece of paper and a knife or a pair of scissors, you can try to make your own paper-cuts. Although paper cutting is easy to start with, you need a lot of practice and imagination to become really good at it.

Nearly half of elementary and high schools in the US use the Presidential Fitness Test．It checks kids’ fitness levels．Students are tested at least twice a year．In 1956, US President Eisenhower created the test, and it has been a tradition in schools since 1966．

26、Linda Evans was my best friend—like the sister I never had. We did everything together: piano lessons, movies, swimming, horseback riding.

When I was 13, my family moved away. Linda and I kept in touch through letters, and we saw each other on special time—like my wedding  and Linda’s. Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes, and we wrote less often. One day a card that I sent came back, stamped “Address Unknown. ” I had no idea how to find Linda.

Over the years, I missed Linda very well. I wanted to share happiness of my children and then grandchildren. And I needed to share my sadness when my brother and then mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Linda could fill.

One day I was reading a newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked very much like Linda and whose last name was Wagman — Linda’s married name. “There must be thousands of Wagmans,” I thought, but J still wrote to her.

She called as soon as she got my letter. “Mrs Tobin!” she said excitedly, “Linda Evans Wagman is my mother. ”

Minutes later I heard a voice that I knew very much, even after 40 years, laughed and cried and caught up on each other’s lives. Now the empty place in my heart is filled. And there’s one thing that Linda and I know for sure: We won’t lose each other again!

Sleep like a Giraffe

What’s your favorite sleeping position? On your back? On your side? How about standing up? Unless you happen to be a giraffe, I’d never have thought anyone would choose the last one. But now thanks to a Japanese company, it could actually be a real competitor.

Giraffenap is invented to allow the user to take a rest while standing when he/she feels tired or sleepy with the purpose of improving performance at work. In an introduction to the nap (小睡) box, the company says that it will allow the user to be refreshed (恢复精神的).

But why does it have to be standing? The company explains that studies have shown that sleeping while standing allows people to reach a sleep state in which they breathe easily. When they wake up, they can feel the influence of a nap without having to sleep too much. And they can quickly return to work without feeling dizzy (头景目眩的). Also, making the box vertical (垂直的) rather than horizontal (水平的), means that it takes up half as much floor space. Now, I know what you’re thinking—wouldn’t a person just fall down if he tried to sleep while standing? Of course not.

Inside the box are four points to support the body—head, buttocks (臀), legs and feet. That means he can rest his arms. I hope you’ll try sleeping standing up—just like giraffes do.

Giraffenap has been made in two different styles—a futuristic (极其新潮的) one named “Spacia”, and a wood-covered one named “Forest”. They’re scheduled to be released towards the end of next year, so when that time comes, I guess you’ll just have to pick your favorite design, and slot yourself in ready for a good nap.

【1】Giraffenap was designed with the purpose of ________.

A．taking naps when tired or sleepy

B．improving work performance

C．feeling refreshed in just 20 minutes

D．returning to work without feeling dizzy

【2】Why does the company recommend (推荐) standing up to take a nap?

A．It takes up more floor space.

B．It helps users fall asleep too much.

C．It’s difficult for users to breathe easily.

D．It can help users feel refreshed in a short time.

【3】What does the company say about the napping box?

A．It allows users to fall asleep easily.

B．It saves floor space when not in use.

C．It provides four points of support for the head.

D．It will be available for sale at the end of next year.

【4】Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A．The box’s appearance.

B．The box’s materials.

C．The box’s use of space

D．The box’s sale date.

【5】The underlined sentence “Now, I know what you’re thinking—wouldn’t a person just fall down if he tried to sleep while standing?” suggests that ________.

A．people would fall down if they tried to sleep standing up

B．the author doubts if it is necessary to stand up to take a nap

C．people may care about the safety of taking a nap standing up

D．it is unnecessary to worry about falling down while standing up to sleep

28、根据短文内容和首字母提示填词。（每空一词）

It would be difficult to find one herring (鲱鱼) swimming alone in the sea. Herring always swim in groups c【1】schools. Sometimes hundreds of thousands of small, silvery herring swim together, covering the surface of the sea for miles.

One 【4】 that herring swim in schools is that they are more protected from danger. Herring have no defense weapons (防卫武器) to use a【5】 their many enemies in the sea. When they crowded together, the fish inside the group are p【6】 by the bodies of the ones on the outside. A school of close swimming herring may look like a s【7】 , giant fish. Some enemies may be frightened away by the large shape.

As the herring g【8】 larger, the school is attacked by larger, hungry fish. Each time some herring are lost, but many survive. The survivors stay t【9】 in smaller schools or join another school of herring.

Female herring do not lay eggs u【10】they are three or four years old. Each mature fish can lay as many as 40000 eggs. From these eggs come some new schools of herring to replace the disappearing older schools.
