宜昌2024-2025学年第一学期期末教学质量检测试题(卷)初一英语

1、   It’s late evening. Sun Run, a 14-year-old from Zhejiang is using her smartphone to do her homework. 1. She uses an app to read English articles according to her teacher’s instructions.

These days, it’s not unusual for teachers to give home work on apps. 2. 例如，学生们被要求练习英语或做数学题目。 Some teachers also use WeChat chat groups to give homework.

But now, Zhejiang province is moving to ban (禁止) teachers from assigning homework on mobile apps due to concerns about students’ eyesight. In 2018, more than 70 percent of middle school students in China were found to be nearsighted, according to the World Health Organization. 3. 长时间使用手机对眼睛有害。

Do students like to do their homework on their phones? Zhang Keqi, a 14-year-old from Fujian, said he doesn’t. “Sometimes the apps can’t recognize what I’m reading in English. I have to work on them for a long time to get high score,” he said. 4. He said his eyesight has gotten worse since he started using apps to do his homework.

However, Whag Yidi from Anhui enjoys doing homework on apps. “The apps have big databases (数据库) of math exercises! And I can revise (修改) my answers easily,” said the 15-year-old. 5. “But the bad part is that I can’t help playing with other apps while doing my homework.”

Zhou Tianyi, 12, from Sichuan, also thinks it’s fun to do homework with apps. Her teachers ask their students to dub (配音) English videos and make their own short videos. “But if I have too much other homework to do, I feel like it’s too much for me to finish,” she said.

Zhang Heng, born in Nanyang City in 78 AD, was the world-known scientist and inventor at the time of the Eastern Han dynasty. He died in 139 AD. Known as “the sage of science”, he made great contributions (贡献) to science and human society.

Zhang Heng invented the earthquake instrument in 132 AD. It is reported that it’s the first instrument in the world that could tell the earthquake and its direction far away. There are 8 dragons in 8 directions. There is a big ball in each dragon’s mouth, under which sits a toad (蟾蜍) with its mouth open wide. If the earthquake happens in any direction, the ball will fall into the mouth of the toad below, and make a loud noise. It is recorded that the instrument told a huge earthquake which happened several thousand kilometers away in China’s west. Though this instrument has been lost, it is still regarded as a man-made creation.

Zhang Heng was interested in everything around him and loved to think. It was not always easy to make other people accept new ideas. When Zhang Heng introduced his inventions, people laughed at him. However, he didn’t give up. Instead, he went on to make new inventions. He believed in what he did even when others did not.

Later in 1970, scientists named a circle-shaped mountain on the moon as “Zhang Heng Mountain” and No. 1802 small planet in the solar system as “Zhang Heng Star” in 1977. In 2003, No.9092 small planet was named “Nanyang Star” to honor him.

It can open the way into people's minds and hearts, into a culture very (51)d 【6】 from the one of your own. This will give you something that (52)m【7】 can't buy.
