七台河2024-2025学年第一学期期末教学质量检测试题(卷)初三英语

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、 A team of US psychologists(心理学家) have found that talking to another person for ten minutes a day helps with memory.

“Socializing(交际) is just as effective as more traditional kinds of mental exercise in boosting memory and intellectual(智力的) performance,” Oscar Ybarra, a psychologist at the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research, said in a statement.

In one investigation, they analyzed data on 3610 people, aged 24 to 96.

They found that the higher their level of social interaction(交流), the better their cognitive(认知的) functioning. Social interaction includes getting together or having phone chats with relatives, friends and neighbors.

In another experiment, the researchers conducted laboratory tests on 76 college students, aged 18 to 21, to evaluate(评估) how social interactions and intellectual exercises affected the results of memory and mental performance tests.

The students were divided into three groups: the social interaction group had a discussion of a social issue for 10 minutes before taking the tests; the intellectual activities group completed three tasks (including a reading comprehension exercise and a crossword puzzle) before the tests; and a control group(对照组) watched a 10-minute clip(电影片段) of the Seinfeld television show.

“We found that short-term social interaction lasting for just 10 minutes improved participants’ (参与者) intellectual performance as much as engaging in (从事) so-called ‘intellectual’ activities for the same amount of time,” Ybarra said.

The study was expected to be published in the February issue of the journal Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin.

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

A. Improving. B. Reducing.

C. Preventing. D. Training.

【2】Which is not included in social interaction?

A. Having a talk with a neighbor.

B. Attending a birthday party.

C. Watching TV at home alone.

D. Calling your classmates.

【3】What’s the purpose of the experiment on 76 college students?

A. To judge the effect of social interaction on memory and intelligence.

B. To find out what is real social interaction.

C. To learn how much time is needed for social interaction.

D. To show the function of people's cognition.

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

A. Intellectual exercises make your memory better.

B. Different people have different ways of communication.

C. Communicating with others keeps you healthy.

D. Social interaction makes you smart.

25、Ebola(埃博拉) is a river in Africa. In 1976, a dangerous virus（病毒）was found there. The virus can cause people to get very sick and even die. So people call the virus Ebola.

Two years ago, Ebola caused the worst problem in western Africa, and it spread very quickly. Medical experts all over the world did their best to stop Ebola and to treat the people who were sick.

Ebola often starts with fever and headache, kind of like the flu. But it can get worse and cause serious bleeding(流血) and breathing problems. It’s very important for infected(受感染的) people to get treatment right away. People who have Ebola need to be cared for in a special way so that the illness doesn’t spread to doctors, nurses or others in their families.

Doctors aren’t sure how the first person got Ebola, but they think people picked up the virus from infected animals. People can get the virus by touching an infected person’s drops of blood. But Ebola doesn’t spread through food or water like some viruses do. It also doesn’t travel through the air like cold or flu viruses do. In areas where the Ebola virus is, anyone who doesn’t feel well should get medical help immediately.

【1】Ebola was named after________.

A．an expert

B．a doctor

C．a river

D．a patient

【2】If a person picks up Ebola, he will suffer(遭受) from the following things EXCEPT________.

A．a flu

27、Why do people listen to music? The answer may seem simple: making and hearing music is a pleasure. But music touches our lives in many other ways, too.

Music changes our moods (心情)

My brother doesn’t choose music according to what he wants to hear. Instead, he decides what he wants to feel and picks music depending on it. Upbeat (乐观的), bright-sounding music generally makes people feel happy. But some people enjoy listening to sad music. It can be like talking with a friend who understands your sadness. But for some people, sad music can make them feel even sadder.

Music helps us get things done

Do you ever listen to music while you work? I do, and I find that it sometimes helps me concentrate (全神贯注). According to one expert, music can help you pay attention to boring or repeated tasks. But when you are doing tasks that require more thought, music can make them harder.

My mom, a preschool teacher, uses music to manage her class. When she wants to call a child, instead of shouting the child’s name, she sings it. This creates a more active environment, while still getting the child’s attention.

Music brings people together

Music can also bring people closer to each other. This is especially true of music played live (现场直播). Live music often features (以……为特色) a group of people playing different instruments, which makes it a shared experience. Listeners can share the feelings that the song expresses. They also create memories together.

When they hear a certain song, they can be taken back to some points in the past. Therefore music can connect people not only to present people but also to people from their past.

Music is more than just entertainment; it’s a powerful force that influences us in many ways.

【1】Which of the following music will not make you happy?

A．Rabbit Dance.

B．Merry Christmas.

C．Moon Reflected on Second Spring.

【2】What does the underlined word “It” refer to (指的是)?

A．Sad music.

B．Listening to sad music.

C．Listening to upbeat music.

【3】Listening to music is not helpful when ________.

A．you are doing repeated tasks

B．you are doing easy tasks

C．the tasks require more thought

【4】Which of the following is not true?

A．Singing children’s names is impolite.

B．Listening to live music can make listeners share their feelings.

C．Music can make people become closer.

【5】What’s the writer’s attitude to music?

A．doubtful

B．active

C．uncertain

28、   What’s the coolest transportation for middle school students back from the winter holidays? A racing bike? A car? No. It’s a s【1】 kind of shoes. It is called Heelys(暴走鞋). Heelys look just like c【2】 sports shoes, but they have a wheel in the heel(鞋跟). So instead of w【3】, kids can “fly” around in them. “Wearing Heelys is fun and cool,” said Wu Peng, a boy w【4】 wore them on his first day back from school. Wu Peng said he loved the shoes so much that he wore them w【5】 he went. Sometimes he even f【6】 his parents’ car to the supermarket in his Heelys!

Other students think these are very cool, but some haven’t been so l【7】 with their Heelys. It’s reported that some c【8】 have fallen down while using these shoes, and some have been hurt.

“Heelys wheels are on the heels of the shoes, so it’s e【9】 to fall,” said Liu Rui, a doctor at the Hong Kong International Hospital. Even w【10】, Liu said, “Wearing Heelys for a long time could stop young people from d【11】 their ankles(脚踝)and legs. Parents had better not buy this kind of shoes for the children because it is harmful to their h【12】.”
