昆明2025学年度第二学期期末教学质量检测初二英语

1、I think it is important for children to learn how to do chores and help their parents with housework. It is not enough to just get good grades at school. 61Children these days depend on their parents too much. They are always asking, 62“你能给我拿一下这个吗？”or “Could you help me with that?” Doing chores helps to develop children’s independence and teaches them how to look after themselves. 63It also helps them to understand the idea of fairness. Since they live in one house with their parents, they should know that everyone should do their part in keeping it clean and tidy. Our neighbors’son got into a good college but during his first year,64他不知道怎样照顾自己.As a result, he often fell ill and his grades dropped.65.The earlier kids learn to be independent, the better it is for their future.

25、   Good study habits will help you make full use of your time and learn better. Here is some advice from US scientists.

Study the same thing in different places. You may have a regular place to study-a quiet room or a corner of the school library. But scientists say it helps you to remember if you study the same thing in two different places. For example, you can read your Chinese textbooks in your classroom and in the school garden. See if you remember what you learned better than if you had read the same thing twice in the classroom.

Don't just learn one skill at a time. Have you ever seen athletes training? They usually do strength, speed and skill training together. Our brain works like that, too. It is better at learning different skills than just one at a time. For example, if you are studying English, you may want to study  vocabulary, grammar and reading all at the same time.

Space out（间隔开） your studying. Most of you may have had the experience of studying for a long time the night before a test. That may get you a good grade on an exam, but you will soon forget the things you learned. Scientists found that spacing improves your ability to remember things. You can study for an hour tonight, an hour on the weekend, another hour a week from now. Then you won't need to stay up all night for a test.

26、We usually think that garbage is useless and dirty. However, an art exhibition in 2019 proves that”useless” things can actually be helpful.

Dear Pretty Rubbish, an art event organized by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWFN) and digital media art company Blackbow, was held in Beijing. It looked at wasteful garbage and asked questions about the relationship between our lifestyles and our garbage.

“We hope that everyone who visited the show can think about how ‘useless things’ are produced, why they are tossed out, and whether ‘useless things’ are really useless”, said Cao Yujia, the design director at Blackbow.

Artists Zhou Yuxuan and Liu Yifan collected nylon cable ties, LED lights and plastic bottles from designers’ workshops to create a work where plastics, in the shape of cells, “grow” in a comer. There, the lights blink(闪烁) regularly just like “breathing”. When people walk near it, the work responds by showing light patterns, as if communicating with the visitors.

Speaking about the work, Zhou said: “It’s like some kind of communication between humans and plastics.”

Plastic has a life longer than almost any creature, taking centuries to break down. Though people think plastics damage the environment, they are a big part of our daily lives. “So we want to ask the question: Although the damage continues, is there a way for humans to reconcile (和解) with plastics?” said Zhou.

【1】Which phrase can take the place of the underlined phrase “tossed out”?

A．worked out

B．used up

C．thrown away

D．put off

【2】Which of the following might Zhou agree with?

A．Useless things are really useless.

B．Artists should make works from garbage.

C．Plastics should be left to break down on their own.

D．Humans should find a better way to deal with plastics.

【3】Which word can best describe the art event?

A．Creative

B．Wasteful

C．Balanced

D．Awful

【4】Which is the best title of the text?

A．Try new ways to reduce garage

B．Plastic pollution around us

C．Live peacefully with “garbage”

D．Communications between human beings and nature

27、“The world’s oceans are slowly getting more acidic,” say scientists. The researchers from California report that the change is taking place in response to higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

The lowering of the water’s PH value is not great at the moment but could cause a serious threat to current ocean life if it continues, they warn. Ken Caldeira and Michael Wickett, from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, report their concerns in the journal Nature.

Increasing use of oil fuels means more carbon dioxide is going into the air, and most of it will eventually be absorbed by seawater. Once in the water, it reacts to form carbonic acid. Scientists believe that the oceans have already become slightly more acidic over the last century.

These researchers have tried to predict what will happen in the future by combining what we know about the history of the oceans with computer models of climate change. “This level of acidity will get much more extreme in the future if we continue releasing CO2 into the atmosphere,” said Dr. Caldeira. “And we predict the amount of future acidity will exceed (超过) anything we have seen over the last several hundred million years, let alone perhaps after rare disastrous events such as asteroid impacts.”

However, it is not absolutely clear what that means for ocean life. Most organisms live near the surface, where the greatest PH change would be expected to occur, but deep-ocean life forms may be more sensitive to PH changes. Coral reefs and other organisms whose shells contain calcium carbonate (小行星) may be particularly affected if the water’s acidity levels keep going up, the team predict. They could find it much more difficult to build these structures in water with a lower PH.

In recent years some people have suggested storing carbon dioxide from power stations in the deep ocean as a way of dealing with global warming. But Dr. Caldeira said that such a strategy should now be re-considered. “Previously, most experts had looked at ocean absorption of carbon dioxide as a good thing--because in releasing CO2 into the atmosphere we warm the planet, and when CO2, is absorbed by the ocean, it reduces the amount of greenhouse warming.”

【1】According to Dr. Caldeira, ________.

A．ocean absorption of carbon dioxide is a good thing

B．more oil fuels will be used in the near future

C．scientists may predict climate changes with computer models

D．the future situation of the amount of acidity is extremely serious

【2】If the water’s acidity level keeps rising, ________.

A．ocean life whose structures contain calcium carbonate may be affected

B．the waters’ PH value will become higher and higher

C．organisms living near the surface are more sensitive to pH changes

D．some disastrous events will occur more often than before

【3】What does the underlined word “acidic” probably mean?

A．污染的

B．酸的

C．复杂的

D．温暖的

【4】The purpose of this passage is to ________.

A．show people the findings of a research team

B．inform people of how acid the ocean is now

C．introduce Dr. Caldeira and his team’s research

D．warn people of the higher level of CO2

28、   I have always believed this to be true: people we meet will have a role in our life, 【1】 ['weðə] it’s big or small. Some will help us grow, some will hurt us, and some will inspire us to do better.

I come to know the best teachers are 【2】 who don’t tell you how to get there but show the way. For them there is no better joy than helping you see a bright future, and seeing you go to levels 【3】 (high) than you would ever have imagined on your own. But that doesn’t mean they’ll try to fix you or enable you; instead, they guide you to the source of your own 【4】 ['paʊə]. They believe in you and offer you support.

I also learn the importance of 【5】  looking down on someone unless you are helping them up. It’s 【6】 ['i:zi] to look down on someone who isn’t as successful or well educated as you are. But you’ve no idea how far he has 【7】 (go) to be where he is now. Be sure we treat everyone with dignity (尊严), for they’re worthy to be treated 【8】 way you want to be treated.

People we meet are 【9】 the passengers who get on and off the car of our life journey. As they are there to share a certain part of our life, why not take advantage of the 【10】 (chance) and leam from them when dealing with them? That way, life is sure to get better.

29、   A few years ago. my husband and I were on an island for a long weekend with our 3 and 4-year-old _______. As we went back and thought about what to do next, our girls jumped in and told us _______ what they wanted to do. “We want to go to the butterfly museum,” said Ariela and Eliana.
