张家口2024-2025学年第二学期期末教学质量检测试题(卷)初一英语

1、   There is a Chinese saying “千里送鹅毛，礼轻情意重”. The saying comes from a historic book called Lu Shi (《路史》). According to the story, a Tang Dynasty official in Yunnan wanted to show his respect (尊敬) to the emperor (皇帝). He sent a man named Mian Bogao to bring some gifts to the emperor. 1. One of the gifts was a beautiful swan, which was a very valuable gift at the time.

Mian took good care of the swan on his way to the emperor. One day, he passed by a lake and wanted to let the swan drink some water. 2. But as soon as he set the swan free, the swan flew away, leaving only some feathers on the ground. Mian was very worried, but he didn’t try to run away. 3. 他决定告诉皇帝发生了什么。He picked up a feather and kept going on his trip.

When Mian met the emperor, he told him what happened and said, 4. “This swan feather is light, but it carries my deep respect for you.” The emperor was happy with Mian’s honesty and sincerity (真诚). He forgave (原谅) Mian. 5. 人们现在用这个说法来表明好的礼物不一定要很贵。What matters is the sincerity it carries.

25、   One early morning, I went into the living room to find my mother reading a thick book called Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again. My interest was aroused only by the fact that the word “Poems” appeared in big, hot pink letters.  

“Is it good?” I asked her.

“Yeah,” she answered. I leaned forward.

“Patty Poem,’” she read the title. Who is Patty? I wondered. The poem began:

  She never puts her toys away,

    Just leaves them scattered where they lay …

The poem was just three short sections. The final one came quickly:

    When she grows and gathers poise,

    I’ll miss her harum-scarum noise,

    And look in vain for scattered toys

    And I’ll be sad

A terrible sorrow (痛苦) washed over me. Whoever Patty was, she was a mean girl. Then, the shock. “It’s you, honey,” My mother said sadly.

To my mother, the poem revealed a parent’s feeling when her child grows up and leaves. To me, the “she” in the poem was horror. It was my mama who would be sad. It was so terrible I burst (突然) out crying.

“What’s wrong?” my mother asked.

“Oh, Mama,” I cried. “I don’t want to grow up ever!”

She smiled. “Honey, it’s okay. You’re not growing up anytime soon. And when you do, I’ll still love you, okay?”

“Okay,” I was still weeping (流泪). My scare has gone. But I could not help thinking about that silly poem. After what seemed like a safe amount of time, I read the poem again and was confused. It all fit so well together, like a puzzle. The language was simple, so simple I could obviously understand its meaning, yet it was still beautiful. I was now fascinated (着迷) by the idea of poetry, words that had the power to make or break a person’s world.

I have since fallen in love with other poems, but “Patty Poem” remains my poem. After all, “Patty Poem” gave me my love for poetry not because it was the poem that lifted my spirits, but because it was the one that hurt me the most.

【1】Why was the writer attracted by the book Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again?

A. It was a thick enough book. B. Something on its cover caught her eye.

C. Her mother was reading it with interest. D. It has a meaningful title.

【2】The writer’s mother liked to read “Patty Poem” because______.

A. it reflected her own childhood B. it was written in simple language

C. it was composed by a famous poet D. it gave her an idea of what would happen

【3】It can be concluded from the passage that “Patty Poem” leads the writer to _______.

A. discover the power of poetry B. recognize her love for puzzles

C. find her eagerness to grow up D. experience great homesickness

27、The 31st Summer Olympics will be held in Brazil in 2016. Before this global sporting event, we started thinking about sports that didn’t exist any more and sports that were maybe a little strange. Read the following ones that have ever been included in the past Olympic Games.

 Live Pigeon Shooting (1900)

This bloody event was only held once, at the 1900 Paris Games. Nearly 300 birds were killed during the competition, leaving a crime scene of feathers and blood. This is the only event in Olympic history that involved killing live animals.

 Kabaddi (1936)

This sport is popular in South Asia. The object is for one member of a team to enter the other side’s half of the field, and score points. The attacker then returns to his half of the field.

 12 Hour Bicycle Race (1896)

Seven riders got on their bikes at 5 a.m. and rode until 5 p.m. Four riders dropped out before noon, but the winner, Adolf Schmal of Austria, managed about 180 miles. Only Schmal and one other finished.

 Tug of War (1900—1920)

This may seem like a basic PE class sport more than an Olympic event, but Tug of War was actually one of the first sports played at the Olympic games in 500 BC.

There are two teams of eight; the winning team must pull the other team six feet forward.

 Swimming Obstacle Race (1900)

The athletes had to climb over a pole (杆子) and a row of boats, and then swim under another row of boats. All of this was done in the Seine River, so they also had to fight against the water. This event was only ever held in 1900, in Paris.

【1】What do you probably think of these events?

A. Strange.   B. Fantastic. C. Modern.   D. Interesting.

【2】Which sport looks like a common activity more than an Olympic event?

A. Swimming Obstacle Race.

B. 12 Hour Bicycle Race.

C. Live Pigeon Shooting.

D. Tug of War.

【3】How many athletes finished the event 12 Hour Bicycle Race?

A. One. B. Two.   C. Four.   D. Seven.

【4】What does “drop out” mean in English according to the passage?

A. Give up.  B. Run out.

C. Fall off.   D. Break down.

【5】What can we learn from the passage?

A. Athletes took part in all of the events in teams.

B. Tug of War was held in the Olympics only once.

C. Some of the events may be in the 31st Summer Olympics.

D. These events are not as popular as they used to be.

28、   Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much for coming to this concert. I hope you e【1】 the concert. As you may know, all the performers have donated their time to help us.

The purpose of this concert is  to  r【2】 money  for  children  in Africa.  Every day hundreds of children in Africa die because they have diseases or don’t have enough food to eat.

There are two main r【3】 . First, there is no work for the children’s parents, so they have no money to buy food or medicine. Second, the governments in many African countries do not have the money to take c【4】 of the poor.

Most African countries are poor. The land is not g【5】for growing food and the weather is also bad for farming. T【6】 are many organizations trying to help these poor people. The organization we are trying to help, the Feed Africa Fund, spends m【7】 of dollars every year on food for poor people in Africa. This money comes from people l【8】 you—kind, generous people who do not want to see children die of hunger.

All the money you give this evening will go to the Feed Africa Fund. Just one dollar can buy enough rice or corn to f【9】 a family of four for three days.

How much do you spend on food every day? Ten dollars? Twenty dollars？I am sure you can spend a little less on your o【10】 food so that you have a few dollars for the Feed Africa Fund.

Ladies and gentlemen, we will now take up a collection. Please be generous.
