初三英语试卷 使用时间：10月9日 考试时间：90分钟 试卷满分：100分 一、阅读理解（共20小题，共40分，E涂AB） A What people eat and how they eat are different from place to place. For example, in Lanzhou, people usually have beef noodles for breakfast while cheese sandwiches are very popular in London. Here are the recipes for them. You can have a try if you like! Food: beef noodles Ingredients (食材): beef, noodles, beef soup, mooli (白萝卜), garlic sprouts (蒜苗) and red chili oil. Steps: First, wash beef and boil it for about 1—2 hours. Next, wash the mooli and garlic sprouts, and cut them into pieces. Then, make beef soup very hot, and put mooli pieces into it. After that, cook noodles and then put them into a bowl. Finally, spoon beef soup over the noodles, and then add beef, garlic sprout pieces and red chili oil. Tips: You may add an egg or some vegetables as you like while eating. Food: cheese sandwiches Ingredients: bread pieces butter, cheese, tomatoes, onions, lettuce (生菜). Steps: First, put some butter on a piece of bread. Next, cut up a tomato and an onion, and put them on the bread. Then, put some cheese on it. After that, put some lettuce on the cheese. Finally, put another piece of bread on top. Tips: You may add meat or vegetables as you like in a sandwich. 1. How many things do we need to cut up to make beef noodles according to the recipe? A One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four. 2. When noodles are cooked, ________. A. put them into a bowl B. make beef soup really hot C. boil them for about 1—2 hours D. cut garlic sprouts into pieces 3. Firstly, you can put some ________ on a piece of bread when making a cheese sandwich. A. tomatoes B. onions C. butter D. lettuce 4. What information can we get from the tips in the passage? A People usually refuse to try new food. B. We should eat fresh food every day. C. More and more people like eating fast food. D. We can add some more ingredients as we like while eating. B When you hear the word “home”, you probably think of the place you are living in right now. Maybe it is an apartment, a single house, or a two-story house. Maybe it is made of wood or stone. You may think houses are rather normal buildings, but some houses around the world are rather special! The Bedouin people of the Middle East and North Africa live in interesting homes. The Bedouin people live in the desert, and they move around without staying to live in one place very long. So, they live in tents that are made of animal hair. The tents are easy to put up and take down when they move from place to place. In a similar way, a group of Mongolian people of the Gobi Desert also live in tents rather than buildings. These homes, called “ger” homes, are also made of animal hair, but they are round instead of square like Bedouin tents. Before people made the first tents, they lived in caves. Some people in the southern part of Spain live in caves today, too! They call these cave homes “cuebas”. These caves keep the house cool during the summer and warm during the winter. Another type of home is the “igloo” used by the Inuit people of Canada and Greenland. Igloos are normally made of ice and snow. The igloo protects the people from the wind as well as keeps them warm. In fact, the temperature inside an igloo can even reach 16℃ just from body heat alone. The Bagabao people of the Philippines used to live in what may be a childhood dream for some—a treehouse! These treehouses were built so that the people could watch for enemies and protect themselves from wild and dangerous animals. In addition, the people could stay cool in their treehouses during the hot summer season. Although the Bagabao people don’t live in these treehouses any more, they still use things like them for resting and for meeting people. If you ever get the chance, be sure to check out different homes of different cultures! 5. The passage is about ________. A. the best place to live in B. different types of homes C. the reason why people like their houses D. how to build a house 6. How does an igloo keep people warm? A. People like to heat themselves inside. B. It protects the people from the wind. C. It provides people with fire. D. The igloo can heat people. 7. What did the Philippines people use to live in? a. b. c. d. A. a B. b C. c D. d 8. Where can you find this passage? A. In a geography magazine. B. In a weather report. C. In a building advertisement. D. In a history book. C Now, cities large and small often have remains of earlier historic streets and sidewalk pavements (人行道). Yet they often go unprotected even when they may be older than historic buildings that have enjoyed protection for tens of years. There are many reasons to protect historic pavements—culture value, economics (经济) and public safety. Pavements played an important part in the modernization of city environments in the 19th century. Before the laying of pavement, streets of dirt caused many problems to people, especially in wet weather when they became muddy, which brought trouble to people’s life. To solve the problem, cities experimented with different kinds of materials to balance durability (耐用性) economics, sources of materials and noise considerations. The earliest pavements in many cities were made of rounded stones. They were cheap and durable, but rough and noisy. Loose stone pavements were cheap and smooth, but not very durable. Wood also appeared in the 1850s as a popular choice-smooth and quiet, but not very durable. In many cities and towns, brick (砖) streets are the only historic pavements that have survived. It is easy to think of the past when seeing historic pavements. However, they are more similar to the early high buildings and parks—important city features (特性) that showed the modernization of the city. At a time when cities are becoming increasingly similar, such pavements also help define (定义) an important sense of place. 9. What is the present situation of historic pavements? A. Being highly valued as cultural buildings. B. Failing to represent modern environments. C. Being brought back to its former glory (辉煌). D. Failing to receive protection they should get. 10. Why was the first pavement built in history? A. To help develop the local economy. B. To bring convenience to people’s life. C. To develop a unique “pavement identity”. D. To prevent earth from being washed away. 11. What is mainly talked about in Paragraphs 4-6? A. Different experiments on city identity. B. Popularity of different paving materials. C. Development of pavements of different materials. D. Advantages and disadvantages of stone pavements. 12. What’s the purpose of this passage? A. To protect the historic pavements. B. To tell ways of building pavements. C. To show the modernization of the city. D. To introduce the history of the pavements. D Though oceans cover about 71 percent of the earth’s surface, there’s still a lot we don’t know about them. Only about 20 percent of the seafloor has been mapped, and the remaining 80 percent is still a secret to us. Some scientists oven think that 91 percent of sea animals have yet to be discovered. So why do we know so little about the deep sea? Well, getting to those depths is very difficult and requires high technology that simply didn’t come into being for most of human history. The first navigable submarine (可驾驶的潜水艇), for example, was built in 1620, and it couldn’t go more than five meters below the surface. In fact, for a long time many scientists didn’t even think that there could be any life at depths greater than 550 meters and didn’t see much need to explore the deep sea. However, this changed in 1862 when life was discovered as far down as 945 meters below sea level with the help of a digging machine. Ten years later, around 4,700 species (物种) unknown before from the ocean floor were discovered. Since then, high technology has been developed to help explore the deep sea, including satellites. But why is deep-sea exploration still so difficult? Well, at greater depths it is freezing (极冷的) everything is completely dark, and the pressure can be over 1,000 times greater than that on the surface. Though we have the difficulties it’s important that we understand the seas. They help control the earth’s temperature and produce half of the oxygen (O2) in the air. They can also provide us with information about climate change. Our future depends on learning more about our oceans, and it is possible for us to really understand what is ongoing below the surface. 13. Why are some numbers listed in Paragraph 1? A. To introduce how important oceans are. B. To discuss why sea animals have yet to be found out. C. To explain that oceans cover a large area of the earth D. To show that we have only a little understanding of oceans. 14. What caused the change of exploration into the deep sea? A. High technology. B. Unknown species. C. A pleasant environment. D. Valuable information. 15. What does the underlined word “They” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Sea animals. B. The seas. C. The satellites. D. Many scientists. 16. What could be the best title of the text? A. Hidden Treasures in Deep Sea B. Unlocked Secrets of Deep Sea C. Deep-Sea Exploration: Into the Freezing Depths D. Deep-Sea Exploration: The Past and the Future E You may have seen such a photo: with a long white beard and wearing a bamboo hat; an old fisherman stands on a boat. Huang Quande looked like this when tourists took photos with him on the Lijiang River in Guilin, Guangxi. He became very famous on the Internet. ___17___ Sadly, Huang passed away at the age of 94 on Feb. 18, 2023. According to Jimu News, Huang shows the true spirit of the Lijiang River. He was a positive and kind man. ___18___ After he gave up fishing and became a photo model in 2008, he took photos with tourists worldwide. The image of the fisherman on the back of the 20-yuan banknote is not just about one man. Instead, it is a cultural symbol that makes the Guilin landscape (风景) what it is, commented Guangming Daily. In fact, the different backsides of the fifth series of renminbi banknotes show the most iconic landscapes in the country. Each of them carries its own cultural value. For example, on the back of the 5-yuan banknote is Taishan Mountain in Shandong. ___19___ On the back of the 1-yuan banknote is the Three Pools Mirroring the Moon (三潭印月) in West Lake, Zhejiang. Since ancient times, the location has been a great place for moon watchers during Mid-Autumn Festival. The candle-lights (烛光) from the three pagodas (塔) are reflected on the water and look like little moons. ___20___ Following the banknotes from 1 yuan to 100, Pan Jinyu from Chongqing had a “banknote tour” when he was 21. “I want to finish a ceremonial (有仪式感的) journey and feel the beauty of our country,” Pan told Chongging Economic Times. A. The renminbi pictures have helped make the landscapes even more popular among tourists. B. In his 90s, Huang could still move his boat with speed. C. For thousands of years, many emperors would go there and pray (祈祷) for the country’s prosperity (繁荣). D. Many believed the fisherman on the back of the 20-yuan renminbi banknote was based on his image. E. We should save the money. 二、完形填空（共20小题，共20分） A I decided to start volunteering in a hospital.

The reduction woodcut uses one piece of wood to make a colorful artwork. The artist cuts and prints different layers (层) in order on the same piece of wood. The reduction woodcuts became an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in Pu’er, Yunnan, in 2009. Leng Guangmian, 40, is a reduction woodcut artist. Leng started learning it in 2003. He said that making reduction woodcut prints is just like an adventure. “Every time we cut on the wood and then print, we never know what it will be like in the end.” As he sees beautiful patterns layer by layer, he only gets more excited, added Leng. But finishing such work is not easy. He said that before cutting, he needs to plan for the whole print and choose colors for different layers. A big print usually takes months to finish. Leng wants his artwork to show both great woodcutting skills and the culture and life in Pu’er. “For my works, there are two themes: Tea Horse Road, because Pu’er is one of the starting places of that road; and disappearing villages,” Leng said. “Many old villages in Pu’er need rebuilding, so I want to make people remember their beauty before they are gone.” Leng Guangmian is now getting more people to know about the reduction woodcut. He trains farmers in Pu’er and brings the art into schools. To make students understand and learn the art quickly, he even thought of a new idea of cardboard printing. “By using a small cardboard and making it simpler with three to five colors, students can get the beauty of the art,” Leng said. 51. When did the reduction woodcuts become an intangible cultural heritage? ____________________________________ 52. How does Leng feel when he sees beautiful patters layer by layer? ____________________________________ 53. What are the two themes in Leng Guangmian’s works? ____________________________________ 54. Do you think teenagers should learn Chinese traditional art? Why? ____________________________________ 五、书面表达（共20分） 55. （B）盛年不重来，一日难再晨。及时当勉励，岁月不待人。本月底，你校英语社团将开展以“Time and tide wait for no man.（时不我待）”为主题的征文活动。假设你是张华，请根据以下要点写一篇短文，向英语社团投稿。 写作要点：1．你对这条谚语的理解； 2．能体现谚语含义的个人经历或经验； 3．你的个人感悟。 写作要求：1．字迹工整，语言准确，内容完整连贯，适当使用复合句； 2．80词以上，已给出词汇不计入总词数。 Time and Tide Wait for No Man Good morning, everyone!

The Bedouin people live in the desert, and they move around without staying to live in one place very long. So, they live in tents that are made of animal hair. The tents are easy to put up and take down when they move from place to place. In a similar way, a group of Mongolian people of the Gobi Desert also live in tents rather than buildings.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了了解海洋的重要性。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Though oceans cover about 71 percent of the earth’s surface, there’s still a lot we don’t know about them.”可知列举的数字表明，尽管海洋覆盖地球的71%，但是我们仍然知之甚少。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据“In fact, for a long time many scientists didn’t even think that there could be any life at depths greater than 550 meters and didn’t see much need to explore the deep sea.”和“Since then, high technology has been developed to help explore the deep sea, including satellites.”可知探索深海需要高科技的帮助。故选A。 【15题详解】 词义推断题。根据“Though we have the difficulties, it’s important that we understand the seas.”可知虽然我们有困难，但了解海洋是很重要的。此处They指代上文的seas。故选B。 【16题详解】 最佳标题题。本文主要是关于探索深海的内容，排除A和B；根据“Since then, high technology has been developed to help explore the deep sea, including satellites. But why is deep-sea exploration still so difficult?”可知主要是介绍深海探究的现状，并不是过去与未来。故选C。 E You may have seen such a photo: with a long white beard and wearing a bamboo hat; an old fisherman stands on a boat. Huang Quande looked like this when tourists took photos with him on the Lijiang River in Guilin, Guangxi. He became very famous on the Internet. ___17___ Sadly, Huang passed away at the age of 94 on Feb. 18, 2023. According to Jimu News, Huang shows the true spirit of the Lijiang River. He was a positive and kind man. ___18___ After he gave up fishing and became a photo model in 2008, he took photos with tourists worldwide. The image of the fisherman on the back of the 20-yuan banknote is not just about one man. Instead, it is a cultural symbol that makes the Guilin landscape (风景) what it is, commented Guangming Daily. In fact, the different backsides of the fifth series of renminbi banknotes show the most iconic landscapes in the country. Each of them carries its own cultural value. For example, on the back of the 5-yuan banknote is Taishan Mountain in Shandong. ___19___ On the back of the 1-yuan banknote is the Three Pools Mirroring the Moon (三潭印月) in West Lake, Zhejiang. Since ancient times, the location has been a great place for moon watchers during Mid-Autumn Festival. The candle-lights (烛光) from the three pagodas (塔) are reflected on the water and look like little moons. ___20___ Following the banknotes from 1 yuan to 100, Pan Jinyu from Chongqing had a “banknote tour” when he was 21. “I want to finish a ceremonial (有仪式感的) journey and feel the beauty of our country,” Pan told Chongging Economic Times. A. The renminbi pictures have helped make the landscapes even more popular among tourists. B. In his 90s, Huang could still move his boat with speed. C. For thousands of years, many emperors would go there and pray (祈祷) for the country’s prosperity (繁荣). D. Many believed the fisherman on the back of the 20-yuan renminbi banknote was based on his image. E. We should save the money. 【答案】17. D 18. B 19. C 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了20元人民币纸币背面的人物黄全德以及人民币纸币背面的不同图案的文化价值。 【17题详解】 根据前文“You may have seen such a photo: with a long white beard and wearing a bamboo hat; an old fisherman stands on a boat. Huang Quande looked like this when tourists took photos with him on the Lijiang River in Guilin, Guangxi. He became very famous on the Internet.”可知，一位老渔夫留着长长的白胡子，戴着斗笠，站在船上，在广西桂林的漓江上，黄全德就是这样的，他在网上很出名；根据后文可知文章介绍了人民币背面的人物。由此可知空处应提及黄全德与人民币背面人物的关系，D选项“许多人认为，这张20元人民币钞票背面的渔夫是基于他的形象”符合语境。故选D。 【18题详解】 根据前一句“He was a positive and kind man.”可知，他是一个积极乐观并且善良的人，可推测空处是说明黄全德怎样积极乐观的语句，B选项“在90多岁的时候，黄仍然可以快速地移动他的船”符合语境。故选B。 【19题详解】 根据前一句“For example, on the back of the 5-yuan banknote is Taishan Mountain in Shandong.”可知，5元纸币的背面是山东泰山。由此可推测空处是对与泰山有关的图案进一步说明，C选项“数千年来，许多皇帝都会去那里为国家的繁荣祈祷”符合语境。故选C。 【20题详解】 根据后一句“Following the banknotes from 1 yuan to 100, Pan Jinyu from Chongqing had a ‘banknote tour’ when he was 21.”可知，跟随纸币从1元到100元，来自重庆的潘金玉在21岁时进行了一次“纸币之旅”。由此可推测空处是表示人民币图案受人们喜欢，A选项“这些人民币图片使这些风景在游客中更加受欢迎”符合语境。故选A。 二、完形填空（共20小题，共20分） A I decided to start volunteering in a hospital.

Chinese people”可知此处表示对中国人而言是特殊节日，for“对……来说”。故填for。 【46题详解】 句意：他们举办了各种各样的活动来纪念老人，祝愿他们身体健康，长寿。many kinds of后加复数名词，表示“许多种类的……”。故填activities。 【47题详解】 句意：他们举办了各种各样的活动来纪念老人，祝愿他们身体健康，长寿。wish sb sth“祝愿某人某事”，此处应是名词，healthy的名词形式是health“健康”。故填health。 【48题详解】 句意：在这一天，人们传统上喝菊花酒，吃重阳糕和爬山。此处应用副词修饰动词drink，traditional的副词形式是traditionally“传统上”。故填traditionally。 【49题详解】 句意：古代人相信这种植物可以驱除邪灵，防止他们在冬天生病。此处plant指上文提及的“a kind of plant named dogwood”，表示特指用定冠词the。故填the。 【50题详解】 句意：古代人相信这种植物可以驱除邪灵，防止他们在冬天生病。prevent sb from doing“阻止某人做某事”，固定搭配。故填catching。 四、阅读回答问题（共4小题，共10分） Many traditional woodcut prints are either black and white or simple in color, but reduction woodcuts (绝版木刻) can show rich colors. The reduction woodcut uses one piece of wood to make a colorful artwork. The artist cuts and prints different layers (层) in order on the same piece of wood. The reduction woodcuts became an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in Pu’er, Yunnan, in 2009. Leng Guangmian, 40, is a reduction woodcut artist. Leng started learning it in 2003. He said that making reduction woodcut prints is just like an adventure. “Every time we cut on the wood and then print, we never know what it will be like in the end.” As he sees beautiful patterns layer by layer, he only gets more excited, added Leng. But finishing such work is not easy. He said that before cutting, he needs to plan for the whole print and choose colors for different layers. A big print usually takes months to finish. Leng wants his artwork to show both great woodcutting skills and the culture and life in Pu’er. “For my works, there are two themes: Tea Horse Road, because Pu’er is one of the starting places of that road; and disappearing villages,” Leng said. “Many old villages in Pu’er need rebuilding, so I want to make people remember their beauty before they are gone.” Leng Guangmian is now getting more people to know about the reduction woodcut. He trains farmers in Pu’er and brings the art into schools. To make students understand and learn the art quickly, he even thought of a new idea of cardboard printing. “By using a small cardboard and making it simpler with three to five colors, students can get the beauty of the art,” Leng said. 51. When did the reduction woodcuts become an intangible cultural heritage? ____________________________________ 52. How does Leng feel when he sees beautiful patters layer by layer? ____________________________________ 53. What are the two themes in Leng Guangmian’s works? ____________________________________ 54. Do you think teenagers should learn Chinese traditional art? Why? ____________________________________ 【答案】51. In 2009. 52. He gets more excited. 53. A Horse Road and disappearing villages. 54. Yes. Because it can help them understand Chinese culture better. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了非物质文化遗产——绝版木刻，以及绝版木刻艺术家冷光冕。 【51题详解】 根据第二段“The reduction woodcuts became an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in Pu’er, Yunnan, in 2009.”可知，2009年，云南普洱的还原木刻被列为非物质文化遗产。故填In 2009. 【52题详解】 根据第三段“As he sees beautiful patterns layer by layer, he only gets more excited”可知，当他一层一层地看到美丽的图案时，他只会变得更加兴奋。故填He gets more excited. 【53题详解】 根据第五段“For my works, there are two themes: Tea Horse Road ... and disappearing villages”可知，他的作品有两个主题：茶马古道和消失的村庄。故填A Horse Road and disappearing villages. 【54题详解】 本题答案不唯一，言之有理即可。故填Yes. Because it can help them understand Chinese culture better. 五、书面表达（共20分） 55. （B）盛年不重来，一日难再晨。及时当勉励，岁月不待人。本月底，你校英语社团将开展以“Time and tide wait for no man.（时不我待）”为主题的征文活动。假设你是张华，请根据以下要点写一篇短文，向英语社团投稿。 写作要点：1．你对这条谚语的理解； 2．能体现谚语含义的个人经历或经验； 3．你的个人感悟。 写作要求：1．字迹工整，语言准确，内容完整连贯，适当使用复合句； 2．80词以上，已给出词汇不计入总词数。 Time and Tide Wait for No Man Good morning, everyone!
