长春2024-2025学年第一学期期末教学质量检测试题(卷)初一英语

1、阅读下面的短文，将划线部分译成英文或中文。

       Yang Peijie, 71, has been performing Haian flower-drum dances（海安花鼓）for more than fifty years.

       The Haian flower-drum dance dates back to more than 400 years. It became popular in the areas of the Yangtze River and the Huaihe River in the Ming Dynasty（1368-1644）. 1. 在过去，它被用来展现当地人们的生活。“It’s more gentle compared to flower-drum dances in other places such as in Anhui and Hunan, ” Yang said. Many of its dance steps came from daily life and express positive feelings. For example, fengbailiu （风摆柳） means you have to twist （弯曲） your body like the wind blowing willow trees.

       Yang started to learn the dance from old artists in the 1960s. At that time, people could only learn it this way. There were no textbooks. 2. Worrying it might get lost, Yang spent five years studying the history of the dance and recorded its steps in detail. He visited almost all the local artists and wrote a book about it.

       3. In recent years, Yang has kept on spreading the dance among all age groups. He set up a team to work on this. The team members have visited about eight schools to teach students. It has been combined （结合）with break-time exercises in many schools. 4. To interest kids, they separate difficult dance steps into several simple ones. Xu Hongxuan, a pupil from Haian Elementary School said, “I have been practicing it for three years. I think it’s more interesting than the radio gymnastic exercises（广播体操）. We beat drums to the music in all kinds of ways. Some dance steps are difficult, 5. 但当我掌握了它们之后，我感到开心和自豪。 Now I am a member of the flowerdrum dance club. ”

       Besides schools, Yang and the team members also go to communities and parks to teach older people. “I don’t want to see the art fail to be passed down from me, ” Yang said.

27、① Many people believe that toys are mainly made for kids. When we grow up, we should put away such childish things.

②But now many grown-ups are getting them out again.

③ According to data from the market research firm NPD Group, toys bought by people over the age of 12 account for 23 percent of the European market. Among them, adults are still the main force. In 2019, Beijing’s Toy Show attracted tens of thousands of visitors, including many grown-ups.

④But why are adults interested in these seemingly “childish” things?

⑤Toys can “bring back happy childhood memories”, noted website SWNS Digital. Many adults are under a lot of pressure at home and at work. Items that they were familiar with in childhood can remind them of easier times.

⑥Rob Willner, 25, is one such person who finds solace in items from the past. At his home in London, he keeps two boxes of loose childhood Lego tucked away under a bed, as well as various large “sentimental” models on shelves in his house.

⑦When he comes home after a hard day, he often plays with the toys. “It reminds me of the playful side of life, but also helps me to keep perspective. Lego isn’t great, but it’s fun, and helps you to think about what’s really important,” he told The Telegraph.

⑧ There is another reason for the rise in popularity of toys among adults. This pastime offers pressure-free creativity. Even hobbies such as baking and painting can be shadowed by the worry that the results will fail to please other people. Dressing up a doll or playing with a model train set doesn’t come with a lot of pressure to please others.

⑨ It seems that adults are no longer taking their childhood freedom for granted. After all, just as UK artist David Hockney said, “Play is serious.”

【1】Why are toys popular among adults according to website SWNS Digital?

A．They don’t want to grow up at all.

B．Playing helps develop and improve social sill.

C．They want to get along well with their kids.

D．Toys can bring back positive memories.

【2】How does Rob Willner benefit from playing with toys after work?

A．It makes him more creative at work.

B．It helps him realize important things in life.

C．It makes him think more about the past.

D．It helps him connect with other people.

【3】What does Paragraph 8 mainly talk about?

A．The rising pressure to please others that adults face.

B．How playing with toys can increase creativity at work.

C．Another reason why adults love to play with toys.

D．The reason why young people don’t cook nowadays.

【4】The best title for the passage may be ________.

A．Remaining a Kid at Heart

B．Let’s Put Away Childish Toys

C．How to Go Back to Childhood

D．Adults Are Under Lots of Pressure

28、A Love for Separation(《小别离》)

A Love for Separation is a new soap opera based on the life of some Chinese students who go abroad to study. It has 【1】 (创造) many successful characters of three typical Chinese families: strict but loving mothers, cute children and 【2】 (耐心的) fathers.

Fang Duoduo is one of the main characters in it. She had a difficult time with her schoolwork, especially learning English in her 【3】 (第三) year in the junior middle school. She worked hard from the early morning to the late night. Her mother also paid full 【4】 (关注) to her study, pushing her to go to different after-school classes to get more 【5】 (知识) . But it was still hard for her to 【6】 (提高) her learning ability. She was under so much pressure that she and her mother argued a lot. She couldn’t cheer herself up any more. The other two families also had their 【7】 (自己的) problems. But finally all the three families worked them out because they love their children so much. And love is above all.

“The show is from a best-selling 【8】 (小说) written by Lu Yingong”, said Director Wang Jun in his latest interview. And he expected people to love it. “【9】 (是否) or not you have much free time, try not to miss it. You will feel deep in your heart filled with 【10】 (温暖)，as well as joy, sometimes you’ll even be moved to tears”, he said. By the way, the Chinese teenager band TF boys also act in the show.
