德州2025学年度第二学期期末教学质量检测初一英语

1、   Holding conversations may not seem like a skill. After all, everyone often talks to other people. 1.但是与陌生人交谈使人觉得有点紧张和尴尬。 Here are some ways to make conversations more fun and less embarrassing.

Body language

Although it may seem strange, much communication happens without any words. 2.The way you stand and act tells people a lot about you. When you're talking with someone, stand up straight and look them in the eye. This shows that you're talking confidently. And if you're nervous, acting like you're confident can help you feel more confident. When you're listening, look at the other person. Lean (倚靠) forward to show that you're interested in what they're saying.

Back and forth

A good conversation is not a speech, which means that both people need to take part in. If you're doing all the talking, 3.停下来给别人说话的机会。 If they don't say anything, try asking them a question.

Ask questions

Questions can also help if you're struggling (努力的) to think of something to say. If you ask the other person a question, they'll talk for a while. Maybe they'll say something you relate with and can reply to. 4.People are generally excited to find others with similar interests. When you ask questions, try to come up with open-ended ones. That means questions where the answer is more than just "yes" or "no". Open-ended questions in English usually start with who, what, when, where and why.

Don't fear silence

Don't scare if the conversation has quiet moments. Every conversation has some. 5.Think of them as opportunities to change the subject to something you're interested in. You could also talk about something you've done recently. Or once again, you can ask a question about the other person.

As with any skill, you will improve at holding conversations with time. So if you're shy, be brave, ask a question, and start a conversation.

“Go home and bring all of your farm animals to live in your house,” advised the woman. “Bring in your sheep, horses, cows, chickens…” The man thought it was not a good idea. But since the old woman was known for her wisdom, he agreed to do as she said. He went home and brought inside all the farm animals he had. As you can imagine, it was out of order at home.

27、

In a country where 1. 3 billion people speak 22 officially-recognized languages and hundreds of dialects (方言), communication online can be a problem.

Although there is a rapid rise in the number of Indian internet users who don’t speak English as the first language, 60% won’t shop online because of language problems.

Niki, a voice-enabled e-business app, is trying to solve this. It helps people to use voice commands (指令) to do shopping online. Users speak to the app in their preferred language, ordering products. Niki then presents buying choices from its product providers.

The company’s goal market is people who don’t live in cities and do not speak English In the northern Indian state of Rajasthan, the app has been used for more than 10 million online transactions (交易) since 2018. Now Niki can offer people service in Hindi, Bengali, Tamil and English. The company is planning to introduce seven more languages, and hopes to carry out its business in 10 more states.

Thanks to a machine learning algorithm (算法), Niki is able to understand languages better and better. When the app first appeared, the algorithm only had a 65% accuracy (准确) rate. Now, it can deal with voice commands with 95% accuracy because of a bank of over 250 million conversations, Jaiswal says.

The app differs from typical online marketplaces. It limits the number of buying choices. Rather than offering many similar products as the supermarkets do, Niki presents a few quality - controlled objects from providers. That is more like a la sore.

When users speak to Niki in their native language, the app speaks back in the way of neighborhood shopkeeper. This “culture of service” is popular with many Indian people.

【1】Many Indian internet users don’t shop online because ________.

A．they aren’t able to use the Internet

B．they have trouble using apps

C．they like to shop in the local store

D．they have difficulty in communicating

【2】Which picture properly shows the relationship between accuracy and conversations?

A．

B．

C．

D．

【3】Which of the following is TRUE if people shop on Niki?

A．There are more products for them to choose.

B．It’s just like shopping in a supermarket.

C．They may like the way Niki talks with them.

D．It’s difficult for them to buy good products.

【4】What’s the main idea of the passage?

A．New apps develop quickly in India.

B．The voice app helps Indians shop online.

C．It’s hard to change Indians' shopping fashion.

D．Indians become interested in online shopping.

【5】In which section of a newspaper can you probably read the text?

A．Sports and health.

B．History and culture.

C．Population and environment.

D．Science and technology.

28、When my son, Mark, was in the third grade, he saved all his pocket money for over three months to buy a holiday present. The third Saturday in December Mark said he had made his list and had twenty dollars in his pocket.

I drove him to a nearby supermarket. Mark picked up a band basket and went in while I waited and watched in the car. It took Mark over 45 minutes to choose his presents. Finally he came to the checkout counter (收款处) and reached into his pocket for his money. It was not there! There was a hole in his pocket, but no money. Mark stood there holding his basket, tears falling down his face.

Then a surprising thing happened. A woman came up to Mark and took him in her arms. “You would help me a lot if you let me pay for you,” said the woman. “It would be the most wonderful gift you could give me. I only ask that one day you’ll pass it on. When you grow up, I would like you to find someone you can help. When you help others, I know you will feel as good about it as I do now.”

Mark took the money, dried his tears and ran back to the checkout counter as fast as he could. That year we all enjoyed our gifts almost as much as Mark enjoyed giving them to us.

I would like to say “thank you ” to that very kind woman, and tell her that four years later, Mark went house to house collecting blankets and clothes for the homeless people in a fire. And I want to promise her that Mark will never forget to keep passing it on.
