沧州2024-2025学年第一学期期末教学质量检测试题(卷)初三英语

1、   Do you “worship” your parents?

After I came to China, I started hearing the word “xiaoshun” a lot. It is often translated into English as “filial piety”. However, I think the translation “parent worship” is easier to understand. The basic idea behind “parent worship” is that children should always listen to their parents and do everything they can to make their parents happy.

I think many Chinese people I know would agree with the idea. I guess it is a nice idea, in theory（理论上）. But I also have some Chinese friends who would disagree.This is because they have had to do things they didn’t want to, just because their parents told them to_______For example, one of my good friends had to break up with her boyfriend because her parents thought he didn’t make enough money. “孝顺”似乎有时候也是不公平的。

Most kids in the US, especially teenagers, would probably disagree with “parent worship”, too. In fact, arguing with one’s parents and being rebellious (叛逆的) is common for US teens. 我经常与我的父母就家规进行争论，而且我也不总是遵守那些规矩。

I think the best way is somewhere in the middle. Most, if not all of us, love our parents and try our best to respect（尊重） them. So of course we should follow their rules and try not to stress them out (使紧张). On the other hand, parents should respect their kids as well and give them some reasonable freedom and independence.

This month in Travelers Corner there are three teenagers’ experiences in year-abroad programmes.

Mariko Okada – Tokyo

My year abroad in the United States was a fantastic experience. I’m not a shy person, and I was very comfortable speaking to everyone. So I got lots of speaking practice. I also learned lots of interesting things about American culture. When I got home, my friends all said that I had improved so much! I hope to go back again in the future.

Carla Fonseca – Rio de Janeiro

I spent last year studying English in London. I’m from a small town, and London is a very big city. Sometimes I felt it was too big. There were so many people to talk to, but I always felt bad about my English. I missed my family, and I really missed my two cats. My roommate was always using our telephone, so I hardly had the chance for a nice long talk with my parents. I think it was a good experience for me, but I’m glad to be home!

Alvin Chen – Hong Kong

Studying in New Zealand was a fun experience for me, but it was also lots of hard work! I had English classes six hours a day, five days a week——with lots of homework.

26、As an old Chinese saying goes, Spring Festival comes right after Laba Festival, so get ready for a bowl of porridge while looking forward to the long-awaited family get-together.

OK, it just tells people to prepare for celebrating the coming New Year’s Day and for wanderers to return home to get together with their family.

28、六、短文填词。

Have you ever stayed in a hotel? Most Chinese hotels often【1】guests(旅客) with things like disposable(一次性的) toothbrushes, toothpaste(牙膏), shampoo(洗发水) and slippers(拖鞋).

Many guests like the idea【2】they don’t have to bring their own. But if you travel to Beijing, 【3】[rɪ’membə(r)] to bring these things of your own. That’s because some hotels in Beijing have no longer provided guests with these disposables (一次性用品). Many disposable things are【4】(make)of plastic. People throw them【5】[ə’weɪ] after only using them once. It’s a waste of natural resources (资源) and is very bad for the environment.

In Beijing, people throw around about 19,000 tons of plastic bags and 1,320 tons of lunch bowls every year!

Plastic can take 100 to 400 years to break down(降解). So the【6】 (little) plastic we throw away, the better environment we will have.

So, wherever you travel, bring your own things and use them again and 【7】. Back at home and school, you can also do something to make our world a better place. Try to do these things in your【8】[‘evrideɪ] life:

Use【9】(clothes)shopping bags, not plastic ones.

After using a plastic bag, wash it out and let it dry. Then use it over and over again.

Do not use paper cups.

At your school canteen (餐厅), use your own bowls and chopsticks instead【10】 disposable ones.
