2024-2025学年（上）内江八年级质量检测英语

1、   The winter holiday is usually a good time to sleep in. But Xu Haoran, a 14-year-old from Changsha, gets up at 7 a. m. to run at least 2 kilometers every day during the holiday. In fact, this exercise is a part of his homework.

徐不是唯一一个在寒假里坚持锻炼的学生。Nowadays many schools across the country ask students to exercise during the winter holiday. One of the main reasons is that physical education test scores are now worth more on the senior high school entrance examination (中考). In Changsha, the score is up to 60 points, which is 10 points higher than geography or biology.

因此，徐和他的同学们被要求晴天跑步。If the weather is bad, they have to do some indoor sports. Students also need to post exercise photos in their classes’ WeChat groups. This has been a big challenge for many students, but has also helped to make exercise a more important part of their lives. Li Junjie, a 14-year-old student at the same school as Xu, used to hate running. But he is now able to run for half an hour every day. “I have decided to keep doing this in the future,” he said.

Not only teenagers but also primary school students are supposed to exercise during the winter vacation. Yuan Zicheng, a 10-year-old student at the Dong Hu Primary School in Jinan, fell in love with exercise during the holiday. He skips rope(跳绳) for more than 10 minutes every day. “I didn’t use to exercise a lot, but it’s time to catch up!” he said.

25、Five thousand years ago, carrots only grew in Afghanistan (阿富汗) and most were purple. Only a few were orange as they are today! Farmers in the Netherlands (荷兰) were looking for a fruit or vegetable to symbolize their king, William of Orange, and orange carrots were just what they were looking for—they became the ancestors of all modern carrots.

Many plants only grow in certain places on the earth, often deep in the jungle (丛林). The home of potatoes is in the mountains of the Andes in South America. Bananas come from Papua New Guinea and lemons grow wild in China. But once people real ized that many of these plants were good to eat, they took them far from the places where they grew. Fruit, especially, interested thirsty travellers. Arab businessmen transported different fruits and vegetables around the world, such as oranges, which they took from Asia to remote countries such as Spain. The Spanish returned from South America with many new types of food, including chocolate, pepper and corn.

People often had problems deciding what to do with these new fruits and vegetables, or used them for different purposes from today. Carrots were used not as food but as medicine to protect people from poison (毒药) or even (it was believed) to make people fall in love. The first tomatoes and pineapples were grown not as food but to make the garden look pretty. And many people were worried about potatoes—although they are good for us, their leaves are poisonous. In Germany, people only began eating potatoes when the king ordered that people who did not eat them would have their ears and noses cut off!

Today, we are so used to our different types of food that we don’t think about where they came from. But for each pineapple, potato or carrot we eat, there is a long history!

【1】Why did the farmers in the Netherlands prefer orange carrots to purple ones?

A．To serve their king a healthier vegetable.

B．To remind people of their king, William of Orange.

C．To have a better harvest(丰收).

D．To live a better life.

【2】________ played an important part in spreading fruits around the world.

A．Thirsty travelers

B．Arab traders

C．Spanish traders

D．Chinese traders

【3】Which of the following is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 3?

A．People today are used to eating carrots to protect themselves from poison.

B．People would rather use the first tomatoes to decorate(装饰) their garden than eat them.

C．People in Germany didn't begin eating potatoes until the king gave an order.

D．Carrots were even believed to make people fall in love.

【4】The structure of the passage may be________.

27、There was once a man called Mr. Flower, and flowers were his only joy in life. He spent all his free time in one of his four glass-houses and grew flowers of every color, with long and difficult names, for competitions. He tried to grow a rose of a new color to win the silver cup for the Rose of the Year.

Mr. Flower's glass-houses were very near to a middle school. Boys of around thirteen were often tempted to throw a stone at one of Mr. Flower's glass-houses. So Mr. Flower did his best to be in or near his glass-house at the beginning and end of the school day.

But it was not always possible to be on watch at those times. Mr. Flower had tried in many ways to protect. his glass, but nothing that he had done had been useful. He had been to school to report to the headmaster; but this had not done any good. He had tried to drive away the boys that threw stones into his garden, but the boys could run faster than he could, and they laughed at him from far away. He had even picked up all the stones that he could find around his garden, so that the boys would have nothing to throw; but they soon found others.

At last Mr. Flower had a good idea. He put up a large notice made of good, strong wood, some meters away from the glass-houses. On it he had written the words: DO NOT THROW STONES AT THIS NOTICE. After this, Mr. Flower had no further trouble,the boys were much more tempted to throw stones at the notice than at the glass-houses.
