初中英语试题

Slowly but surely, Amy and her grandparents were making progress. Boxes of all sizes were placed on top of each other throughout the house. Amy's grandparents had lived in the house for years and they had collected many things.

The dining room was foil of memories. Amy's grandfather kept many fine dinner plates （盘子）from his hometown. Amy remembered that they ate from the red, yellow, and blue plates during important holidays.

After carefully wrapping up （包裹）the plates and putting them into a box, Amy lifted it up and moved it out of the way. But the box was too heavy. It suddenly fell from her arms and dropped to the floor. All three of them heard the plates shatter.

"I'm sorry!" Amy apologised.

"It's okay," her grandfather said quietly. "It was an accident? "

They opened the box and, sure enough, many of the plates were broken. Only a few remained whole. Looking at the small pieces, Amy felt really terrible. She knew these plates were passed down from her great grandparents and ...

“Don’t worry,” her grandmother said, patting her on the back. Carefully, they put the broken pieces into a rubbish bag.

They continued packing for a little while, but Amy still felt very sorry. She was trying very hard to think of a way to make it up for her grandparents.

Soon, Amy’s father came.

"I have to go," she said. "Dad is here to pick me up."

She kissed her grandparents both, picked up the bag of the broken pieces and left.

“What's that?” her father asked, as Amy climbed into the car.

Amy looked at the bag in her hands as an idea came to her, "This," she said, "is an art project?,

The following day, Amy went to an art store and bought everything she needed. Then she started to work. She used a thin board as the base. Then she took out the colourful plate pieces and glued them in a creative way on the board. When it was dry, Amy wrapped it up.

A few days later, Amy's family had a big dinner at her grandparents’ new house. She handed her gift to her grandparents.

“This is fantastic, Amy!” said her grandfather.

“I can't wait to hang it up in our new home,” Amy's grandmother said as she gave her a big hug.

Sam was worried. The following morning, he would have art class. It was his favourite class, but there was a 1 . Sam saw the world differently from everybody else.

When I was nine years old, I wanted to keep a pet fish. After months of 1 . I finally had enough money to get one. I named it Bob. I put 2 beautiful toy house with windows in the tank （鱼缸）so that Bob could swim through.

However, 5 a month, I noticed that the tank was getting dirty. My dad asked me 6 it into the kitchen. He wanted to make sure I knew 7 to do so that Bob wouldn't get hurt.

Facial recognition technology （人脸识别技术） is widely used today.For example，the police use it to search for bad guys.It's also used to unlock phones or doors.

Now，a similar technology，known as facial detection （探测），is entering a new field：the business of advertising （广告）.

Such systems are going through tests in a small number of stores.One facial detection system can judge （判断） a person's "happiness" σr "fear" level.Another system can detect whether someone is wearing eyeglasses.If so，stores can send advertisements for new glasses to him.

Facial detection technology is also placed inside some large advertising boards.Cameras in those boards can detect information like people's ages and five levels of feelings --from "very happy" to "very unhappy".

Supporters of the technology say it could improve buyers' experience by showing products theymight like or by offering them products at lower prices.

Some are against the idea of using such systems.Pam Dixon，the head of a privacy （隐私） group，is one of them.She thinks ▲.For example，a store could raise the price of a product according to a person's age and feelings.

Without the mountain﹣climbing that we both enjoyed，we couldn't have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy.I really got a lot from mountain﹣climbing.It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience （耐力）.

Once we climbed a very high mountain.It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old.During the first few hours of climbing.I enjoyed the flowers and trees，and the birds' singing；but as time went by，I got a pain in both of my legs.I wanted to quitclimbing.In fact，I hated it at that moment，but my father said to me， " You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain ， but you can't see it before you reach the top.Only there at the top ， can you see all of the nice things ， just like in life."

①Chemistry is everywhere in our daily life.Sometimes it's easy to see.At other times，it can be very hard to see the everyday chemistry at work，but nearly everything you touch has some chemicals（化学物质） in it.

②Chemistry helps to make products for use.Something as simple as toothpaste has at least three chemicals that keep your teeth clean.Other things in your daily life are created by chemistry，such as hair products and soap.Without chemistry，we would never have known that we need soap to get the oil out of clothes.

③Chemistry also helps us understand the world around us.Thanks to chemistry，we know bleach （漂白剂） can't be mixed with vinegar （醋），because the mixture can produce harmful gas.

④Chemistry plays a big role in food preparation.Cooking food causes it to go through a chemical change.That is why cooked food often tastes different from uncooked food.Too much or too little of any chemical material makes a difference to the result of baking （烘焙）.For example，the cake can be too soft or too hard.
