忻州2024-2025学年第二学期期末教学质量检测试题(卷)初一英语

1、   People do volunteer work for many reasons. Let’s look at several top reasons. After each reason, there is an example. Check (打上钩) the box if the example matches (与…相一致) what you want to get from the volunteer experience:

You want to help in a place which is important to you. For example, you might choose to clean up the city parks because you want them to be better places.

You want to meet others. When I moved to the town I now live in, I volunteered at my son’s school because I wanted to meet other people with their children.

You want to learn something new. 我的儿子过去很喜欢戏剧，但是他害怕上台。After watching so many plays on stage (在舞台上）by others, he now volunteers for one theater.他想得到一些训练并且慢慢地学到舞台经验。

Which did you check? Your reason or reasons for becoming a volunteer will help guide you along your way. Maybe you didn’t check any. That is fine. There are other reasons why you want to become a volunteer. Although everyone has his or her own reason, becoming a volunteer will open a new door for us and may change our life, and you will feel like you really make a difference!

Research has shown that when we volunteer—where we give ourselves and our time to help others—we actually end up benefiting too. Our happiness grows. We feel more satisfied with life. We even have more energy and creativity. Basically, we have more to give.

I’ve noticed a pattern with my friends. Sometimes, they get into the habit of gossiping about others. They will constantly complain about their bosses or coworkers. It seems as if they get caught in this loop of complaining, and their frustration distracts them in other parts of their life. When this happens, they become uninterested in new events or become annoyed by their colleagues or things that happen at work.

At the same time, I’ve also seen other friends go out of their way to help someone on their team or to help out on a project that had very little—or even nothing—to do with their main work. Although it seems like they won’t receive anything in return, my friends benefit from these interactions. My friends have told me about the stronger relationships they’ve built at work and the fun they’ve had working on new and interesting projects. They’ve told me about how the people they helped before have returned the favor later on. Not only that, but they have even talked about times where their boss recognized them for their work or when they were informed in advance about upcoming projects.

We often think that when we help someone else, we aren’t doing anything for ourselves. But we actually often end up getting back just as much as we give. When we step in to help someone, we often turn out to be helping ourselves, as well.

【1】Can we benefit from helping others?

A．Yes, we can.

B．No, we can’t.

C．Yes, we can only be happy.

D．We don’t know.

【2】Complaining about others may make people________.

A．be interested in new events

B．be uninterested in new events

C．be happy with their colleagues

D．gossip about others

【3】The author’s friends have built strong relationships through________.

A．gossiping

B．working

C．helping others

D．complaining

【4】What we get back is _________what we give when we help others.

A．more than

B．less than

C．as much as

D．no more than

【5】What does the passage mainly tell us?

A．Helping others is not interesting.

B．Helping others is helping yourself.

C．Helping others has little benefits.

D．Don’t help others.

22、There was a pilot and three people in a small plane. Suddenly there was something wrong

with the plane when it was flying in the air. The smoke was everywhere in the plane. The pilot told the people there were only three parachutes (降落伞). They all became worried and started to make excuses.

“I must go and mend the machine.” said the pilot, taking one of the parachutes. There was

nothing he could do, so he just jumped out.

The next person said, “I must have a parachute. I am a very clever person, and I have to

attend an important sports game. I know I am going to win the game because I am going to be the cleverest person there.” He picked up a pack and jumped out.

Two men were left, an old businessman and a young mountain climber. By this time the plane was going down fast. The businessman said, “Young man, I am old, but you’re still young. You take the last parachute.” the young mountain climber smiled, “Don’t worry,” he said, “we can both jump to safety because there are still two parachutes. Just now the clever person jumped out with my backpack.”

24、A sudden illness completely changed our lives. During the fight against COVID-19, doctors and nurses tried their best to save more sick people and became heroes and heroines. At the same time, many common people brought warm stories to us.

On January 27, the fifth day after the city of Wuhan was closed off, a man got to a small town called Fengdie in Zhouqu, Gansu, giving away 2,000 of his face masks（口罩）to the local government. “My wife and I have kept these face masks for some days,” the man named Liu Junchao said. “I know our country is in great need of face masks now, so I’m coming here.” Liu makes a living by running a small store.

The money was in a piggy bank（储蓄罐）, with a note saying “Come on, Wuhan!” The girl could have used the pocket money to buy her favorite things, but she didn’t.

25、   Children are amazing! They pick up languages so naturally and easily. Have you ever wondered why? It’s not because they have great natural language abilities. In fact, studies s【1】that an adult’s potential to learn language is just as good as a child’s .

So why do children still seem  to acquire(学到) language more quickly than the rest of us? It’s because of the way they learn. Children learn by simply doing what comes naturally—they listen, c 【2】 and communicate. Let’s take a c 【3】look at how children acquire language. Perhaps we can d 【4】a better, more “natural” way to learn English.

Children don’t practice grammar drills, but u 【5】 language to talk about things that interest them. This helps them learn to express themselves. They don’t worry about inadequate vocabulary or poor grammar. They find ways to e 【6】 themselves, and they do it successfully.Students of English should also pay more attention to genuine(真实的) communication. Look for c【7】to talk with people in English. If you can’t find a foreigner to talk to, talk with other English students i 【8】 . Start an English discussion group and chat about music, movies or whatever interests you.

Don’t worry about m 【9】 mistakes. The aim is to learn how to communicate easily and comfortably. Remember that you can communicate successfully even with a small v【10】.Trust your own natural abilities to learn English. You’ve got more potential than you probably realize!
