石嘴山2024-2025学年第一学期期末教学质量检测试题(卷)初一英语

1、阅读下面的短文，将划线部分译成英文或中文。

  Our school’s science festival just ended a few days ago. What impressed(使留下深刻印象) me most was the time we spent making a car. It was made of corrugated cardboard(瓦楞纸板), but can still hold a person, as well as move.

1.我们对这个想法很激动， 但我们发现做辆车很难。It seemed impossible for a cardboard car to carry someone. Our physics teacher showed us a video. In the video, there was some corrugated cardboard shaped like a “V” or “W”. It is tougher (更加坚固) and can hold more weight. This gave us the idea to make the car after getting the proper materials.

2.Because there was not much time left for us, we had to finish it as quickly as possible. We talked about how the car should be made and how to do experiments with it. I was glad that we were able to work closely with each other. 3.每个人都认为这是个有趣的放松方法。Indeed, enjoying the process helped us feel less stressed. 4.When the car was finally finished, we all wore a smile on our faces and found that all our hard work had been worth it, even after spending the whole afternoon working on it.

We joined the competition after we finished the car. 5.Though we didn’t win, we found something more meaningful than success. We learned new things about physics and learned how to get along with each other.

24、Some people have a very poor sense of direction. Unluckily, I am one of them. I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time.

When I was a little girl, I never dared to ask strangers the way. And so I used to walk around in circles and hope that by chance would get to the place I was going to.

I am now no longer too shy to ask people for directions, but I often receive helpless or even wrong information. So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions. If anyone ever asks me the way somewhere, I would say, “Sorry, I am a stranger here.”

Once on my way to work I was stopped by a man. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. I gave him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps, I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However, I had no time to turn back and look for him. I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and I didn’t want to keep him waiting.

When I just got to my office, the secretary (秘书) showed in the man who had asked me for directions. Imagine how embarrassed I was and how surprised he was when we saw each other at first sight he doesn’t know the people at first sight (初次见到).

25、It’s sad to learn that a whale has died in the ocean. However, that’s not the end for the whale. It has a lot to give to other sea animals after death.

When a whale dies, it quickly falls to the bottom of the ocean floor. There, the whale body provides food to deep-sea animals. The remains can last for several years and create a complex ecosystem(生态系统) called a whale fall — an “oasis” of life in the deep sea.

Chinese scientists found a whale fall for the first time in the South China Sea during a deep-sea exploration carried out by oceanic research vessel Tansuo-1, which finished its exploration on April 2, 2020. Tansuo-1 carried the manned submersible (潜水器) Shenhai Yongshi, which is able to dive to a depth of 4,500 meters.

The whale fall ecosystem can exist in the deep ocean because great pressure and cold temperatures there prevent the body from disappearing too quickly. But the depth also makes it hard for scientists to discover them. There are fewer than 50 known whale falls in the world.

The whale fall in the South China Sea is about three meters long. Scientists have found several kinds of shrimp and fish near the whale fall. Some fish have started to eat the whale’s tail. The whale fall might happen recently and needs long-term research, according to Xie Wei, a scientist who took part in the expedition.

By studying the whale fall, scientists can better understand how sea ecosystems support life and how to protect resources in the deep sea.

【1】What does the underlined word “oasis” mean in the second paragraph?

A．A nice place for sea animals to play happily.

B．A pleasant place for deep-sea animals to support life.

C．A huge hall for sea animals to stay comfortably.

D．A place with different plants for deep-sea animals.

【2】Which statement is TRUE about the whale fall?

A．Chinese scientists found a whale fall for the second time in the South China Sea.

B．It is very easy for scientists to find the whale falls in the deep sea.

C．The scientists will continue observing the whale fall found in the South China Sea.

D．Chinese scientists have found more than 50 whale falls by now.

【3】What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A．The whales.

B．The scientists.

C．The deep-sea animals.

D．The whale falls.

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A．A whale fall discovered in the South China Sea.

B．Whale falls existing in the whole world.

C．Sea ecosystems supporting the life in the sea.

D．Biodiversity resources in the deep sea.

27、One day, when I arrived at school, an ice cream truck was parked in the schoolyard. Ice cream men usually drove their trucks to primary schools. I had never thought one ice cream truck would come to bring ice cream to us older kids. When I went up to the truck, I was quite surprised to hear the man call out, "Free ice cream!" To make sure of his words, I asked, "I'm sorry, what did you say?" "Free ice cream. Choose whichever you like." he said, smiling.

After I was certain that the man was just giving away the ice cream, I talked with him for a long time. He told me that his dream had always been to travel around giving away ice cream, and that's what he was now doing. With his mother's support, he kept doing what he loved even during hard times. Now, however, some large companies are helping him his plan.

The man said he wanted to encourage people to do exactly what their heart told them to do with their lives. I kept asking him, "So your dream was just to drive around and give away ice cream? It seems like a very unusual goal." "Yes, just meeting people and making them smile," he replied. At that point he handed me my ice cream. I thanked him, but what I got from him was much more than just an ice cream. It can't easily be explained in words.
