泰州2024-2025学年第一学期期末教学质量检测试题(卷)初一英语

1、我想知道你是否向他提到了这个问题。(mention) （汉译英）

_____________________________________________

2、

Have you ever forgotten where your socks are when you wake up in the morning? Can you remember what you 【1】for lunch a week ago? You may think that being forgetful is not a good thing. But now you should be thankful.

In fact, 【2】 is a key part of learning, the Independent reported. Getting rid of (除去) 【3】information can help brains(大脑)work better.

What kind of information is not necessary? Scientists say that this may have 【4】 to do with the environment(环境)you live in.

In a changing environment, our brains may need us to remember some【5】 . For example, a supermarket cashier meets many people every day and may only remember them for a short time. But a designer who often meets his or her clients (客户) will remember 【6】  .

There is a special area in our brains called hippocampus (海马体). It is important for us to 【7】 and remember. When new neurons (神经元) fit in the hippocampus, they renew our old memories (记忆). This could explain why you forget so much information about the time when you were very young. 【8】 , being forgetful is not always good. When you don’t have 【9】sleep, you may have a hard time 【10】 information. Sleep helps the brain store and keep new facts and information

21、A group of swans flew down to a beach where a crow (乌鸦) was jumping around. The crow watched them with disdain (鄙视). “You have no flying skills at all,” He said to the swans. “All you can do is to move your wings. Can you turn over in the air?”

“No, that’s beyond you. Let’s have a flying competition. I’ll show you what real flying is!”

One of the swans, a strong young male, took up the challenge. The crow flew up and began to show his skills (技能). He flew in circles (圈), performed other flying tricks (技巧), and then came down and looked proudly at the swan.

Now it was the swan’s turn. He flew up, and began flying over the sea. The crow flew after him, making all kinds of comments (评价) about his flying. They flew on and on till they couldn’t see the land (陆地) and there was nothing but water on all sides. The crow was making fewer and fewer comments. He was now so exhausted that he found it hard to stay in the sir, and had to struggle (努力挣扎) to keep himself from falling into the water.

The swan pretended (假装) not to notice, and said, “Why do you keep touching the water, brother? Is that another trick?”

“No,” said the crow. He knew he had lost the competition. “I’m in trouble because of my pride! If you don’t help me, I’ll lose my life…”

The swan took pity on him, and took him on his shoulders (肩膀) and flew back to the beach.

22、Tommy is from a poor family. His father is a worker and he is often ill. Tommy hopes to be an artist, but everybody says it is not possible for him to be an artist and makes fun of his family and his dream. But Tommy never gives up.

One day, he heard there was a drawing competition the following week, and anyone aged 13 and up was welcome. The winner would get 10,000 dollars and some art equipment(设备). He thought for a minute and decided to take part in the competition.

That week seemed like the longest week in his life. Every day when he got home from school, a pencil and a piece of paper were the first things in his hands. He practiced drawing for a long time. Then, the day of the competition came. He finished his drawing quickly.

After two weeks, Tommy got a letter. Tommy was too afraid to open the letter. At last he opened it slowly. Just as he read the first sentence, he began crying. However, they were not tears(眼泪) of sadness. They were tears of happiness.

23、What time of day can you think most quickly? Are you a morning person? Or does it take you a few hours to get your brain(脑)going? A lot of recent research suggests that we should pay attention to our body clock. It can tell us what time of day we can perform best at.

Many people work best later in the morning. This is because the body’s temperature rise quickly.

But everyone’s body clock is different and some are special. Morning people will get up early and work better early in the day. Evening people will work later but work better towards the end of the day.

Research shows that we’re better at some activities at certain times of the day. Physical performance(体能)is at its best between 3 pm and 6 pm, so it’s better to exercise later in the day.

Between noon and 4 pm, people begin to pay less attention. This is because we think less quickly after a big meal. Research also shows we become sleepy around 2 pm. This is why people in Spain take a short sleep in early afternoon.

Finally, it is best to eat when we’re active. This allows our body to burn calories(卡路里) better and stops our blood sugar levels（血糖）from getting too high.

【1】 can tell us what time of day we can perform best at.

A. Morning people   B. A warm shower

C. Our body temperature   D. Our body clock
