珠海2024-2025学年第一学期期末教学质量检测试题(卷)初三英语

1、阅读下面的短文，将划线部分译成英文或中文

To many students, joining social media “circles” is now more important than making new friends in real life. And it’s easy. If you have a cell phone ,you can download apps/Sina Weibo, WeChat and QQ are the most popular among them.

“I love to check my friends’ updates. 1.I also enjoy news and jokes shared on social media. ”said Ou Wei, 14, from Hongling Middle School in Shenzhen. While enjoy these, Ou makes himself stay from real life. “I love playing the games on WeChat, but have no interest in playing flying chess with my classmates,” said Ou Wei.

2.Zhang Le,14, from Mo.12 Middle School in Shanghai, said that social media has influenced their normal life a lot. Recently his school held a basketball match, and a student hurt his leg. 3.大多数学生忙着发送关于这个事故的照片而不是帮助他。“I think they need to learn to balance their real and online live,” said Zhang.

4.What worries parents and teachers is safety. “Many students are happy to tell their interests and personal information to their social media ‘friends’, 5.据报道这种信息可能公给他们带来危险。”said Han Songjun, a teacher at Hongling Middle School. For example, WeChat’s shake-shake function（功能）allows users to connect to other users close by. But police authorities warn about the risks of socializing in this way.

“Be careful. Do not use the locating（定位）function in any app. Do not give your name, and do not post the photos of your residential area （小区）,” said Han.

24、Many of us don’t pay much attention to the importance or eye care. It is said that if you take care of your body, then you can surely be healthy. That is why our eyes should be given a lot of care. Natural eye care should be put in the first place.

There are several causes leading to poor eyesight like not eating enough food, genes(基因) and aging(老化).

Televisions, computers and reading are also the causes of having poor eyesight. If you happen to work in front of a computer, you’d better take a break every once in a while.

Something dirty can cause redness and it will make you feel uncomfortable. It is bad for your eyes’ too. If this happens, the best way is to clean your eyes by using cold water. You must also try your best to protect your eyes from harmful things. For example, sunglasses are not just for fashion but they can also serve as a great way to protect your eyesight from UV rays.

Eating healthy food will do good to your eyesight. Remember that vitamins A, C and E are good for eyes. Try to eat food groups that have these vitamins. And you should do eye exercises because they protect your eyesight, too. If a person exercises regularly(定期地) and eats the right kind of food, his eyes will stay in good condition for a long time.

All above are natural ways of eye care that help us keep healthy eyes. Being happy all the time can be helpful to a person’s eyesight, too. In a word, eye care is very important, no matter how old a person is .

A．computers

25、   What do you think of black cats? Are they unluckier than cats of other colors? Many people in Western countries think so. Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), did a study on cat colours and people’s understandings of cat personalities.

The study found that people do judge (判断) cat personalities by color. Scientists did a survey on the Internet. There were 49 statements (描述) matching five cat colorings with 10 personalities. People think orange and bi-coloured (双色的) cats are friendly, tri-coloured (三色的) cats are not generous, and white cats are calm, lazy and shy. As for black cats, people think they don’t have special personalities.

But why do so many people dislike keeping black cats as pets? People think black cats have less special personalities, which might be because of their bad reputation (口碑). They think black cats may bring bad luck, especially at Halloween. Movies and television shows also make people believe that.

Although people have these ideas, UC Berkeley scientists give another reason: people don’t think black cats are pretty enough. After all, nothing can show black cats are unluckier than other cats. “You can’t judge a cat by its colour, because it’s the personality of the cat, not the colour, that will let you know if the cat is right for you,” Cathy Marden, a scientist said.

【1】Many people in Western counties may think black cats are ________.

A．lovely animals

B．a sign of bad luck

C．a sign of good luck

D．unfriendly animals

【2】The main idea of paragraph 2 is that ________.

A．people often complain about black cats on the Internet

B．people think cats of different colours have different personalities

C．black cats are less popular than other cats

D．the study is a great success

【3】The passage mainly talks about ________.

A．why black cats are popular in movies

B．why people are not willing to keep black cats as pets

C．different colour cats have different personalities

D．different people have different ideas on black cats

26、Mark, a 10-year-old boy, decided to study judo (柔道), although he didn’t have his left arm because of a car accident at the age of 6.

Mark began lessons with an old judo teacher. He was doing well, but his teacher taught him only one move for three months. “Sir,” he finally said, “I want to learn more moves.”

“This move is enough,” the teacher answered. He didn’t quite understand but kept practicing.

A few months later, the teacher took him to his first competition. The boy easily won his first three games. At last, he was now in the finals (决赛). He couldn’t believe it!

This time, his opponent (对手) was stronger and more experienced because the opponent was the winner of the last year’s competition. The referee (裁判) was afraid that he might get hurt, so he wanted to stop the game.

“No,” the teacher said, “let him go on.”

At first, Mark seemed to be losing. But he didn’t give up. Soon, his opponent made a big mistake. Mark quickly used his move on him and he won the game!

On the way home, he asked his teacher, “Sir, how could I win with the only one move?”

“You won for two reasons,” the teacher answered. “First, you’ve learned one of the most difficult moves in all of judo. And second, the only way to stop that move is for your opponent to catch your left arm.”
