随州2024-2025学年第一学期期末教学质量检测试题(卷)初三英语

1、   Erhu, guzheng, suona and pipa are traditional Chinese instruments (乐器). They have something in common: Great Chinese musicians can play very beautiful music with them. These instruments can help to bring out the best in them, too. Chinese people love them a lot. But what about Americans? 答案让很多人感到惊讶。

In August 2018, a group of Chinese and American students gave a concert (音乐会) of traditional Chinese music at Harvard University in Massachusetts, the United States. The young musicians are between 13 and 22 years old. They are all talented in music. This is their first concert and people there had a good time.

“I didn’t know that they were students. I lost myself in the music, I feel like I was a happy bird when they are playing. This is a great concert!” said Donald Westmore.

“I have a thing about China. So I wouldn’t miss anything about China because I know how special it is. I love the concert very much.” said Linda Schwab Edmundson.

“每个人有了一个成功的开始。” Jingdong Cai said happily, the conductor(指挥家)of the music group.

23、I spent a lot of time making a large shelf for my cave. I found a big tree and chopped it down . This took three days. Then, I chopped off the branches. This took another two days. After that, I chopped the wood away from one side, and then from the other side. This took more than one month . Altogether it took forty-two days. In England, two men with a good saw (锯子) could have made six of these shelves from that tree in half a day.

I also spent a lot of time looking after my corn and rice crops. I had to protect them from wild animals and birds, so I made a fence around them. I shot some of the birds and hung them up near the corn. After that, all the other birds stayed away. I used one of the old swords I had taken from the ship to cut down the corn when it was ready. I was very proud of my corn and rice and worked hard to increase my crops. A few years later, I would have enough corn to make bread. I had to find a way to grind（碾碎）the corn into flour, but the rocks on the island were not hard enough. I finally discovered that a very hard piece of wood would do. I used some cloth to separate the meal from the husks（外壳）. Not having an oven, I made some square pots with lids and covered them with hot ashes. This baked the dough, and I had bread! I made my cave bigger again to hold the corn and flour so that I could make bread whenever I needed to.

I sometimes wondered how I could get to the land which was visible from the other side of the island. I went to the ship’s boat that was blown onto the beach in the shipwreck. However, I could not get it to the water. It was too heavy. I tried many different ways of doing it, but none of them were successful.
