初中英语文中细节试题

Perhaps the only test score that I remember is the 55 I got when I was in high school．

The test was the last one of the term． I remember waiting nervously as my teacher Mr． Right gave out our papers one after another． It was a rather difficult test． I heard my classmates groaning（叹息），and I could guess by the groans that the scores were not looking good．

Mr Right put my paper on my desk． There in big red numbers， circled to catch attention， was my score， 55! I let my head go down， and covered the score up quickly． A 55 is not something that you wanted your classmates to see． "The scores were not very good， none of you passed，" Mr Right said． "The highest score in the class was a 55．"

A 55． That's me! Suddenly I didn't feel so bad． I had the highest score． I was getting a little better．

I walked home alone that day with the low but high score． My mother knew that I had a big test that day and asked me as soon as I got home， "How did you do in your test？ ""I got 55， "I said．A frown （皱眉） appeared on my mother's face I knew I had to explain at once． "But Mum， I had the highest score in the class， "I said proudly． "You failed， Dave! "my mother replied． "But it's the highest! "I insisted （坚持）． "I don't care what scores others had， you failed． The important thing is what you do! "my mother said in a strong way．

For years， my mother was always in that way． She didn't care what others did， only cared what I did and that I did it excellently． My mother's words have made a big difference to my life．

In South Korea， many schools hire English teachers from abroad， but as you know， there are not so many English native teachers in South Korea． A team of engineers has created a robot that they hope will take the place of foreign teachers．

Robots will save schools money．The cost to build a robot and hire a Filipino teacher to work with it is around ﹩20，000 a year． That is about half the cost of supporting a foreign teacher in South Korea． What's more， robot teachers can make students have more fun learning English．

The robot teacher is called Engkey．She is about one meter tall and is white，egg﹣shaped．She takes a screen as her face． She can move around the classroom while speaking to students， reading books to them and dancing to music by moving her head and arms． So this robot is more than a video screen on wheels． But Engkey's voice is not her own． They are controlled by English teachers in the Philippines （菲律宾）．There is a camera in each of the robot teachers． With the help of the camera， English teachers in the Philippines can see and hear the students．

Engkey's creators say that they don't know how successful the robot is as a teacher now． But they hope that some day all schools in South Korea will have a robot in the classroom．

Earthquakes usually come without warning． What should you do if this happens to you？ An earthquake is dangerous， but there are still things you can do to protect yourself．

●Stay calm as the earth begins to shake． Your chances of survivalin an earthquake go up if you can keep calm． Staying calm is not easy， but it can save your life．

● If you are inside when the earthquake starts， get under a table or a bed． You need to have something strong around you to protect you from falling objects． Do not stand near walls or windows and stay out of the kitchen． The kitchen is dangerous because of many glass objects．

●If you are outside， get to an open area as fast as you can． Stay away from buildings and trees． If you are in a car， pull over to a place where there are no trees or tall buildings and stay in the car． If you are close to the sea， try to get as far away from the water as possible． Earthquakes can cause huge waves（浪） that can really harm the people nearby．

● When the earthquake is over， there is still plenty of danger． For example， gas fire often comes with an earthquake． If you see a fire， quickly move outdoor to an open area．

When it comes to helping developing countries，we often think about offering money in order that they can build schools and hospitals，buy food and medicine，or find clean water supplies．These seem to be the most important basic needs in their lives．However，it's far from enough．We have to come up with better ideas．

A man called Nicholas Negroponte invented a cheap laptop computer，which he decided to invent after he visited a school in Cambodia．The laptop which Mr．Negroponte has designed is not the same as the normal one that you can buy in the shops．One difference is that it will be covered in rubber so that it is strong and won't be damaged easily．As an electricity supply can be a problem in developing countries，the computer also has a special handle in order that children can wind the computer upto give it extra power when needed．

This special laptop computer will cost less than 100 US dollars and Mr．Negroponte wants to produce as many as 15 million laptop computers in the first year．The idea is that these computers will help the children's education as they will be able to access the Internet．These computers might not benefit the people in developing countries immediately，but by improving children's education they should help people to find their own solutions to their problems in the long term．

Another idea to help children in developing countries is to recycle old mobile phones so that hey can be used again．In the UK．and probably in many other countries too，millions of mobile phones are thrown away every year．The waste crested by throwing away thee old phones is very bed for the environment， so it seems to be an excellent idea to achieve two important goals at the same time，We will reduce the waste we produce and help others．in other words ，we will be able to"kill two birds with one "and that is always a good thing．

What we have been aware of is that people from Italy speak Italian and people from Russia speak Russian．But have you ever wondered the reason why people speak Spanish in so many South American countries？Do you know why the brilliant footballers of Brazil speak Portuguese？And why is French the first language of some people in Canada？ The answer is that all these countries belonged to European empires at one time．The next question is：How did these empires begin？ To answer that question we have to probably go back to the 15th and 16 centuries，the golden age of European explorers．

Although this period is known as the golden age of European explorers，it was not the beginning of European exploration．As you probably know，Marco Polo travelled a long way to China at the end of the 13 century and some people say that the Vikings discovered America long before Columbus set sail in 1492．However，it is during this "golden"period that some   famous voyages took place．Columbus' voyage to America is the best known voyage of exploration，but Ferdinand Magellan sailed round the world in this period，and Spanish explorers such as Central and Pizarro reached South America． Cortez defeated the Aztecs in what we now know as Mesico and Pizarro defeated the Incas in what we now know as Peru． The roots of the Spanish empire were established and that is why he Spanish language is so widely spoken in Central and South America today．

Do you often listen to music at loud volumes（音量）？ Over one billion（十亿） young people are at risk of hearing loss （失聪）because of listening to loud noise for long periods of time．Listening to music or watching a TV show at loud volumes is harmful to your hearing．

The United Nations has standards for safe listening． It is not safe to listen to sounds that are louder than 85 decibels（dB 分贝） for eight hours or 100 dB for 15 minutes． The sound of a busy road is about 85 dB and the sound of a rock concert can be about 100 dB．

Loud noise is harmful to the inner ears（内耳）． most of us are born with about 16，000 hair cells（听毛细胞） in our inner ears． However， listening to loud noise for a long time can make these cells work too hard and cause some of them to die． This is what causes hearing loss．

Some people might think that their music isn't all that loud． But this can depend on where you are． For example， if you are in a noisy place like the subway， you might turn up your music too loud without realizing it． Later， when you listen to it at the same volume in a quiet place， you might feel uncomfortable．

The World Health Organization said the"safe level" for most sounds is below 80 dB for up to 40 hours a week． A level of 80 dB is roughly equal to（大约相当于） the noise of a subway．

（1）Many young people are at risk of hearing loss because they 　　．

C．	listen to loud noise in the subway
D．	listen to loud noise for a long time

B．	The brain．
C．	The heart．
D．	The eyes．

B．	Most people are born with about 1， 600 hair cells in the inner ear．
C．	It is not safe to listen to sounds that are louder than 85 dB for 15 minutes．
D．	Below 80 dB for up to 40 hours a week is the"safe level" for most sounds．
