昭通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。

Studying at a girl’s school, we seldom see boys. But in September, we got a chance to dance and talk with boys. In the morning, all of the girls discussed this activity.

But when the boys came, we stopped immediately. After a welcome speech, the first activity took place: find a boy partner and learn five things about each other. 1. At first, the situation was so embarrassing that nobody moved. Gradually, some people started talking. “Would you like to be my partner?” the boy next to me said. “Sure,” I replied. We stood together and asked each other questions like “what’s your name?” After we took the first step, the rest was easier. 2. 让我惊讶的是，我们有许多共同点。We both like British singer Ed Sheeran. Also, English is our favorite subject. The most exciting part is dancing. The teacher taught boys and girls separately (分别). We all smiled and studied hard. 3. The lesson didn’t last long, as we had to practice with our partners. I felt my heart beating so fast. 4. 老实说，这是我第一次握一个男孩的手。I made many mistakes even with the simplest steps, but my partner never blamed (责怪) me. My palms (手心) got sweaty (出汗的). My partner said, “Don’t be nervous. I will lead you.” His palms were big and warm. I began to calm down and enjoy dancing. 5. At the dance, we built good relationships with the boys and our teachers encouraged us to do so. I really like this type of activity.

24、Are you wearing old clothes?

Don’t worry if you are. Clothes bought at thrift shops are more popular than ever in the West nowadays.

A lot of young people have an interest in secondhand clothing.

Goodwill Industries, one of the most famous secondhand shopping companies in the US, said there had been an increase of 84 percent in money made from the sale of donated goods from 2007 to 2012, from $1.9 billion(about 13 billion yuan) to $3.5 billion.

Fanny Moizant, an online group that sells used clothes from luxury brands(奢侈品牌), agrees that “secondhand” is part of fashion now.

“Fashion has changed,” she told the Financial Times last month.” People need our service ----they need a place to let go and get rid of this excess(过剩).”

It wasn’t always this way. Secondhand clothes used to be much less popular.

Keren Charles, 37, from the US, remembers how embarrassed she was the first time she entered a thrift store more than 20 years ago.

“I didn’t want anyone to see me,” Charles told CNN. “In high school, people thought you were either poor or homeless.”

Now, the fashion fan says about 97 percent of her clothes are secondhand. Her favorite find is a $5 blue evening dress that could be worth hundreds of dollars.

So what is a thrift shop, exactly?

According to the US Association of Resale Professionals, a thrift shop is run by a not-for –profit（非盈利的）organization to get money to charitable causes.

The shops have become popular in recent times due to economic reasons.

More customers began coming to thrift shops in the US at the start of the recession(萧条), according to CNN.

And now secondhand clothing and vintage items are showing up in Western high fashion and street wear.

Fashionable hip-hop artist Macklemore and Ryan Lewis even wore a 2013 Billboard Music Award for their hit song Thrift Shop. The song is about “looking for a come up”(search for cheap things in a thrift store.

However, thrift store culture may be great for new shoppers and for business but it’s not so great for shoppers like Charles who are still “looking for a come up.”

“The competition is tough now,” she told CNN. “You’re in the thrift stores, and you’re seeing so many other people, but it’s still better than shopping at a department store.”

【1】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?

A. Vintage items sell better than other used clothes.

B. Thrift shops are a new form of shops that have appeared in the last 10 years.

C. Thrift shops sell used clothes in order to help people in need.

D. Young people show less interest in secondhand clothing than older people.

【2】According to the article, secondhand clothes have become popular in the West because _______.

A. there are more thrift stores to shop in

B. people have to live on less money

C. artists and stars are often seen in secondhand clothes

D. people now care less about others’ opinions

【3】The underlined word “Vintage” in paragraph 15 probably means“_________”.

A. old but expensive   B. large and very beautiful   C. old but high quality   D. popular and new

【4】What is the article mainly about?

A. The popularity of thrift store culture.

B. The importance of recycling secondhand clothes.

C. Different attitudes toward thrift shops.

D. The influence of the economy on fashion.
