初中英语试题

阅读下面材料，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

①Would you like to get fewer colds and feel better? Would you like to have a taste of a special plant? Would you like to keep a plant with little care? An Aloe Vera plant could be just what the scientists may suggest!

②Growing Aloe Vera plants at home can make the air clean and fresh. Studies have shown that they give off oxygen（O₂）and take away harmful things from the air. With clean and fresh air, you are more likely to stay away from colds, sore throats and dry coughs. And even if you do get sick, Aloe Vera plants may help you get better from the illness faster.

③Did you know that Aloe Vera plants can be used as medicine? Aloe Vera gel（胶体）helps to deal with the pain of burns. And it also helps with itchiness（痒）caused by insect bites. To get this gel, just cut off a part of the plant, peel it, and put the gel on the affected skin（患处). This easy-to-get and safe-to-use medicine is available to you all year round.

④Apart from medical use, Aloe Vera plants are also popular in food industry. Whether you are interested in Aloe juice or crazy about Aloe yogurt, you’ll easily find them in the supermarket. Aloe Vera can also go with other vegetables to make a safe dish on your dinner table.

⑤ ▲ They like dry, warm air with bright light, so they grow best when placed near a window. Aloe Vera plants are able to keep water in their leaves. So, they do not need to be watered so often as most houseplants. Just wait until the earth is completely dry before you water them. When watering, make sure the earth is wet enough so that it can last for a long time. That’s all you need to do to take care of an Aloe Vera plant. Isn’t it the perfect plant for lazy and forgetful gardeners.

阅读下面材料，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

Space tourism（太空旅游业）is no longer a thing of science fiction. There are lots of companies planning to send people into space in the next few years. Space X is one of the most famous companies offering trips to space. So far, it has had over 100 customers. And in April, 2022, it sent 4 people into space. Now, what can space tourists do while in space? Here are some examples:

See the Earth from Space

Seeing the Earth from a distance has always been a dream. It gives most people a sense of both achievement and wonder（which is also why people climb the highest mountain and dive the deepest sea on the earth).

Stay in a Space Hotel

Hotels are directly connected with tourism, right? So if there’s space tourism, there might also be space hotels up soon. Orion Span has been planning to send tourists to stay in their “space hotel”, which would hold up to 6 people at a time.

Eat in Space

Eating is not easy in space. Even drinking water is difficult. Oh, a quick fact! You aren’t allowed to burp（打嗝）in space! Bubbles will come out of your mouth and it might be dangerous to leave them around.

Visit the Moon and Other Planets

Space tourism companies are racing to launch（发射）the first tourist flight to the moon. Although there might be a long way to go before common people can step on the moon, we will probably see it in our lifetime. And who knows, maybe we’ll even see hotels on the moon.

With the industry rapidly developing, space tourism is around the corner, and it might come much faster than we think. Who knows what the future might be like? Will you be the next person to travel to space?

（1）How many people did Space X send into space in April, 2022?

A．

Three.

B．

Four.

C．

Five.

D．

Six.

（2）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．	Orion Span has built six space hotels.
B．	Eating in space is as easy as it is on the earth.
C．	Seeing the earth from space is meaningless for most people.
D．	It is possible for common people to visit the moon in the future.

（3）The underlined words “around the corner” in the last paragraph probably mean “________”.

A．	very slow	B．	very near
C．	very difficult	D．	very traditional

（4）The text is probably from the column（栏目）of ________ in a magazine.

A．

Travel

B．

Health

C．

Sports

D．

Education

My dear son,

It seems like yesterday that we brought you home from the hospital, and now you are my little man. Your father and I were very nervous being first-time parents. I have been a mother for five years. When I look back these days, I cannot help but smile.

Every milestone（里程碑） of yours was a kind of personal success for me. Your first smile your first word, your first step…As years passed, things started to get very challenging. Sometimes I found myself in very difficult situations. The mess you made and the millions of naughty things you did really stressed me out. The times I was worried the most were when you were sick.

Now I have learnt to deal ① ________ them calmly. The one thing that helped me through the hard times was your smile — it made me forget everything and realize it was all ② ________ it.

Soon it was time for preschool（幼儿园）. I prepared you as much as I could for that terrible first day, but you cried so much and I sat down and cried with you. After the first week, you felt better, but I still cried because I didn’t want to let go. But I want you to enjoy yourself, enjoy your schoolwork, make good friends and most important of all be a good man. The conflict（矛盾） has troubled me for a long while.

I have learned so much from you and will continue to do so in the following years. How to forgive（原谅）, how to love unconditionally（无条件地） without expecting anything in return, how to enjoy the small things in life…The list is too long…Thank you! You have made my life meaningful! Wish you good luck!

Love and always,

Mom

The term Start of Summer appeared over 2200 years ago. Since it is an important time for the harvest（收获） of summer plants, ancient Chinese emperors in different dynasties paid special attention to it.

In the Zhou Dynasty（1050-221 BC）, the emperor led his officers to celebrate the Start of Summer and encouraged his people to do farm work in time. Everything, including the emperor’s and the officers’ dress, the horses and the flags, was decorated（装饰） in the color red, in order to show respect to the god of summer and hope for a good harvest.

One of the most interesting customs（风俗） is weighing people at the Start of Summer. It began to be celebrated from the Three Kingdoms Period（220-180） and is getting popular in South China today.

It was believed that this custom would bring heath and good luck to the people who were weighed. After lunch on the day of Start of Summer, the young and old took turns to get weighed while receiving good wishes from the people around him. It is said that those who were weighed would stay healthy in the hot summer and that those who weren’t would get back sooner or later.

There is no doubt that technology has had a big influence on our lives. People from all around the world can now talk to each other almost at once on mobile phones and the Internet. People can easily solve their problems with the help of computers and the world wide web. With this technology, it seems that the world is more connected now than ever before. Even so, there have been worries about technology making people feel lonely and disconnected from others around them.

So does this mean that technology makes us lonely?

In my opinion, it is hard to say Yes or No.

It’s true that humans need communication with each other. If we depend on technology too much to communicate, this can badly impact our mental（心理的） health. For me, technology is a tool. And just like any other kind of tool — like scissors, a pencil or a ruler, for example, it depends on how we use it: in a right way or in a right place. Take social media（社交媒体） as an example. If you only use it to compare yourself with others, you might feel sad and lonely. But if you use it as a tool to connect with friends and family or to start a new community to talk about your hobbies and interests, the loneliness will turn into love and friendship.

When you feel lonely after staring at your computer screen all day, maybe you can use that technology to reach out to a reliable（可靠的） friend and invite him or her out for lunch or a coffee.

（1）According to the writer, technology is ________ .

A．	a tool	B．	an influence
C．	a pair of scissors	D．	a way of communication

（2）What’s the meaning of the underlined word “impact” in Paqugraph 4?

A．

帮助

B．

促进

C．

影响

D．

进入

（3）According to the passage, if people use technology too much, people may ________ .

A．

sleep less

B．

live longer

C．

feel lonely

D．

get more jobs

（4）When we use technology to________ others, we can find love and friendship.

A．

argue with

B．

compete with

C．

connect with

D．

compare with

（5）What’s the main idea of the passage?

A．	Social media is important to us.	B．	Technology can be good and bad to us.
C．	People need to communicate with each other.	D．	Computers and the Internet help us with our work.
