南阳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。

The world is not hungry, but it is thirsty. It seems strange that nearly 3/4 of the earth is covered with water while we say we are short of water. Why? Because about 97% of water on the earth is sea water which we can’t drink or use for watering plants directly. ①Man can only drink and use 1% of water on the earth. It comes from rivers and lakes. And some of the water is polluted, ②因此我们不能全部利用它。

Now more water is needed. The problem is: can we avoid (避免) a serious water shortage later on? ③首先，我们应该学会怎样节约用水。Secondly, we should find out the ways to reuse it. Scientists have always been making studies in the field. Today, in most large cities, water is used only once and then runs to the sea or rivers. But it can be used again. ④Even if every large city reused its water, still there would not be enough. Thirdly, there is a lot of water in the sea. What we need to do is to separate (分离) the salt from sea water. This is expensive, but it’s already used in many parts of the world. ⑤Scientists are trying to find a cheaper way. So you see, if we can find a way out, we’ll be in no danger of drying up.

26、 One day， a physically-deformed man came to our college and on his back was a notice saying， “Free shoe repairing for college students”.

  Repairing shoes for free? Most of us didn’t believe it， and some even thought that it was just a device(策略) to the students who would have to pay for shoes once they had been repaired. But the man just smiled and said， “Save your money to buy some books.” These words really surprised me and I talked with him， “You need to make a living. Why do you repair shoes for us for free?” He answered， while keeping on working， “I’m an illiterate(文盲)， but I know how important knowledge is for everyone. So I’d like to serve the students like you. I hope you can do well in your studies. In my opinion， money isn’t everything in life.”

After the chat， I felt he was great compared with me. He， a physically-deformed man who couldn’t walk without a wheelchair， still tried his best to devote(奉献) himself to society. I would like to thank him because he gave me a new direction in my life， and taught me what the true value of life is.

27、任务型阅读

注意：每空一词。

Have you ever been so worried about something that you have a headache or even can’t sleep at night? Then you cannot pay enough attention during a test or in your study. If so, then you know that is stress. You are worried too much about something. The bad feeling in your mind can make you angry, sad, or scared, and can even give you a stomachache or a headache.

  However, some kind of stress is good. Excitement might happen when you are called to give a speech at school. You feel nervous but excited. This kind of stress can help you to get things well done. And you may do a better job in your test if the stress pushes you to prepare more beforehand.

On the other hand, bad stress can last long if you are unable to come over your problems. You may not feel well, if your parents are having a quarrel, if a family member is badly ill, if you’re doing poorly at school, or if anything else makes you unhappy. That kind of stress isn’t going to help you. And it can actually let you do worse in your daily life. The best way to fight the stress is to have a balanced life. Make sure you get enough sleep and eat properly. Have some regular exercise. You should take some time for fun. Get advice from your parents, teachers and friends. Soon after that, you’ll probably get away with your stress.
