He felt like there was a heavy 31 on his shoulders as he walked home alone. It was the worst day of his life. His mind would not stop 32 what happened only just an hour ago on the school soccer field. How could he have 33 scoring that goal? He had let his whole team down. His stupid mistake made him angry. His team didn’t win the game because of him. He was really 34 that his coach may kick him off the team. And what would his teammates think of him? He didn’t know how to 35 it all. As soon as he walked through the door, his father asked, “What’s wrong, son? You looked unhappy.” Peter’s feelings were written all over his face. “We 36 the game because I made a stupid mistake, now I was too sad to say anything.” Peter replied. Then he went into his room without another word. Ten minutes later, Peter heard his father knocking on his bedroom door. He opened the door to let him in. “Look, Peter. I don’t know what happened. But whatever it was, don’t be too hard on 37 . Nobody is perfect.” “I failed my team, Dad. I made my whole team lose the chance to win the championship. They’ll probably 38 let me play again.” “Soccer is about team effort. You’re not the only 39 your team lost. If you have a good team, you should 40 each other. Besides, winning or losing is only half the game. The other half is learning how to communicate with your teammates and learning from your mistakes.” Peter didn’t say anything, but what his father said made him think 41 . The next day, Peter went to 42 practice with courage rather than fear in his heart. “Hey, guys,” he said to his teammates. “I’m really 43 about yesterday. We were so close to winning that game. But I think if we continue to pull together, we’re going to win the next one.” To his surprise and relief, his teammates all 44 in agreement. “Yeah,” they said, “don’t worry about it. It’s never just one person’s fault. We should think about how we can do better next time. Cheer up, Peter!” It made Peter feel 45 to know that he was on a winning team. He smiled and hugged his teammates together. ( ) 31. A.height B.weight C.fight D.sight ( ) 32. A.thinking about B.talking about C.dreaming about D.hearing about ( ) 33.

In fact, trees can live for hundreds and sometimes even thousands of years! If you see a stump(树桩),you may find that the top of the stump has many rings. These rings can tell us how old the tree is, and what the weather was like during each year of the tree's life. ( ) 46.According to the poster, which part of a tree can record the climate? A. Its rings. B. Its leaves. C. Its roots. D. Its branches. ( ) 47.How old is the tree in the poster? A. About 14 years old. B. About 17 years old. C. About 19 years old. D. About 22 years old. ( ) 48. Which tree lives in a warmer and wetter place? A B. C. D. B In the long history of China, our ancestors have left us too many precious handicraft (手工艺) skills that have helped with our daily life. Bamboo weaving (竹编), a traditional craft is one of them. People split bamboo into thinner strips (条) and use them to make all kinds of tools and fun things. Making things from bamboo takes lots of steps, like choosing the right bamboo, splitting it, weaving it together, and coloring it. Each step needs a lot of skills and is done with our hands. In the past, bamboo was mainly used to make containers so that people could put the things like eggs, vegetables and some other things in them. Bamboo is strong but easy to bend, making it perfect for making strong containers. In Chinese culture, bamboo has many important meanings. It represents both the humble gentleman (寒士) and the spirit of perseverance (坚持). Since the ancient times, many famous artists and poets in China have involved bamboo in their works to express their feelings. Now, people in cities seldom use containers from bamboo weaving, but it is also preferred as an art form by many people. Embroidery (刺绣), another traditional craft, is like drawing with needles (针) and threads (线) on fabric, making pretty designs. Chinese embroidery has been around for more than 2,000 years. It has four main styles: Su, Xiang, Shu and Yue. Su embroidery started long ago and became really popular in the Song Dynasty. Yue embroidery that originating from the Tang Dynasty is now in museums around the world. Shu embroidery, from Sichuan, is known for its detailed dragon and phoenix designs on soft bedding. Xiang embroidery, from Hunan, uses a special way to show powerful animals like lions and tigers. People use embroidery to decorate clothes and bedding. Also, China mixes paintings and photos into embroidery, making it look like a painting from far away and embroidery up close. Embroidery has always been an important trade, especially during the Silk Road days. Today, people still show their special love of it. ( ) 49. What was bamboo weaving mainly used for in the past? A. For making strong containers. B. For making artistic works. C. For expressing people’s feelings. D. For enjoying and playing with. ( ) 50. Which embroidery is special for its dragon and phoenix design? A. Su embroidery. B. Shu embroidery. C. Xiang embroidery. D. Yue embroidery. ( ) 51. Which can be the best title for this article? A. The meanings of bamboo weaving and embroidery B. The use of bamboo weaving and embroidery C. The introduction to two traditional art forms D. The history of bamboo weaving and embroidery ( ) 52. In which type of books can we read this passage? A.In books about science. B. In books about traditional crafts. C. In books about fashion. D. In books about nature. C US company SpaceX successfully completed its fifth test flight of Starship on Oct 13. This helped SpaceX get closer to making rockets (火箭) that can be reused. The 122-meter-tall Starship has two parts: the Starship spacecraft and the Super Heavy rocket. The rocket's 33 engines (引擎) gave Starship a strong push. About seven minutes after launch (发射), the two parts separated at around 70 kilometers above Earth. Then, the rocket's booster（助推器）made itself "stand up" in the air and started to fall slowly. At that time, two big mechanical arms from the launch tower, like "chopsticks", "caught"the booster. Starship is the world's most powerful rocket ever made. It is made to send astronauts to the moon, Mars and further. SpaceX's engineers have been working on it and testing it for many years. They made sure both the booster and the tower met thousands of standards. If standards have not been met, the booster would have been directed to drop in the Gulf of Mexico. SpaceX has been growing quickly since it started in 2002. This is partly thanks to its "fail fast, learn fast" working style. For example, Starship's first three test flights failed because of problems like explosions (爆炸) or losing contact. However, these failures helped engineers get data (数据) and make progress. This is different from the traditional way organizations like NASA operate. They spend a lot of time planning for possible problems before a launch. SpaceX already plans to do a sixth flight, which will probably happen soon. ( ) 53.What is the news mainly about? A.Starship is the most powerful rocket in the world. B. The fifth test flight of Starship is successful. C. SpaceX starts to make reusable rockets. D. Engineers in SpaceX work in a new way. ( ) 54. Which is the correct order of what will happen 7 minutes after Starship is launched? ①Its booster will be caught by the mechanical arms. ②Its spacecraft and rocket will separate. ③Its rocket’s booster will “stand up” in the air . ④Its booster started to fall slowly. A.③②①④ B. ②④③① C. ②③④① D. ③②①④ ( ) 55. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the news? A. The Starship may send astronauts to Mars some day. B. The Starship test flight has failed three times. C. SpaceX’s engineers have worked on the Starship hard and carefully. D. SpaceX’s engineers have worked on the Starship for one year. ( ) 56. What do the engineers of SpaceX think of “failures” according to paragraph 4? A. Terrible. B. Wonderful. C. Helpful. D. Meaningless. D One day, three of my friends came to our house. They told me they wanted to go to Africa. They asked me if I wanted to go with them. I said, “Yes, I want to go with you.” We started to prepare all the necessary things for the journey. Soon we were ready to go. I said goodbye to my wife and we started our journey. Our plan was to be back in two months. We left Brazil on the first of September, 1655. Our ship was very big but we were only seventeen men. The ship was full of things for business. We had cups, glass, mirrors, knives and other products. At the beginning of our journey the weather was very good, but very hot. In one week, a hurricane (飓风) came and it was threatening our ship for the next twelve days. After the hurricane passed, we saw we went quite far from our original (原来的) journey and were instead close to the northern part of Brazil near the Orinoco River. The ship was badly damaged, so we could no longer go to Africa. The captain wanted us to go back and repair the ship, but I strongly disagreed with him. We went over the maps and decided the best thing to do was to go to Barbados and repair the ship there. When we started this short trip, a second hurricane came. The next morning one of the sailors cried out, “Land?” and at that moment the ship stopped in shallow (浅的) water. We expected the ship to break apart at any moment because of the strong wind, so we all got into the small boat the ship carried. This was very dangerous because the seventeen of us were crowded in the boat, and it had no sail. The waves were very big. The wind was extremely strong. The wind pushed us to big rocks. We knew the crash was close. Suddenly, a huge wave appeared and overturned the boat. I was covered with water and couldn't breathe. I couldn't see the others or the boat. But I saw a little beach between the rocks. Another wave carried me to the beach. I tried to get up. I tried to go further the sea. I was able to move ten metres up. I was safe. But my arms and legs were very weak. I fell down and I was lying on the beach. ( ) 57.Why did the writer and his friends go to Africa? A.To leave their wives. B.To make some money. C.To send things to Africa. D.To travel around Africa. ( ) 58.What did they do after the first hurricane passed? A.They had to go back to the place where they started. B.They studied the map and found a new way to Africa. C.They headed for the nearest place to repair their ship. D.They lost their way on the sea and gave up their ship. ( ) 59.Which of the following shows the right order of the event? ①The ship changed the direction after the hurricane. ②All the men escaped to the boat but it turned over. ③The writer was washed up on tile beach by a wave. ④The ship left Brazil with seventeen men on board. ⑤The strong wind almost broke the ship into pieces. A.④⑤①②③ B.④①②⑤③ C.④①⑤②③ D.④②①⑤③ ( ) 60.Which is NOT the reason for the boat becoming dangerous? A.Shallow water. B.No sail. C.Crowded men. D.Big waves. 第二节(共5小题；每小题1分, 满分5分) 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Most people enjoy listening to music. But if you ask your classmates what kind of music they like, you may get many different answers. 61 What do these differences say about people? Researchers from the University of Cambridge tried to answer the questions. They surveyed 350,000 people from 50 different countries. 62 . One result shows that outgoing people prefer rhythmic music and danceable music. People who enjoy country music are shown to be more serious about their work. 63 . The researchers predicted (预测) that people who were under too much stress should like either sad music to express their feelings or rhythmic music to improve their moods. But in fact, these people liked neither of the two types of music above. 64 . Perhaps this type of music helps reduce their stress. The researchers also found that climates might influence people's musical preferences (偏爱) and personalities. People in warmer climates prefer danceable music. They are more outgoing. This maybe because of longer daylight hours and warmer evenings. Of course, nothing is clear-cut (肯定的) 65 . The Cambridge study shows us that people of different cultures are more similar than we think. "People may be divided by geography, language and culture," said Dr. David Greenberg, the leading researcher. " But if an outgoing person in one part of the world likes the same music as outgoing people elsewhere, then we can say that music is really like a powerful bridge. A. Do you enjoy listening to music? B. In fact, they prefer loud and powerful music. C. Too much stress puts people in a bad mood. D. We may not group people just by their musical tastes. E. Then, they discovered some connections between musical preferences. F. Why do different people have different musical preferences? G. Another result is quite interesting. 61. _________ 62. _________ 63. _________ 64. __________ 65. _________ 五、根据句意及所给中文、首字母与英文解释，写出句中所缺单词，每空限填一词。 （共8小题;每小题1分, 满分8分） 66.

For me, I also have one. 75 a sunny morning during my last school holiday, my cousin Ana and her family suddenly appeared in front of our house. That afternoon, the adults made a 76 (decide) to go shopping. Ana and I were left at home by 77 (we). We were both hungry, and then we saw a bag of flour (面粉) in the kitchen. So Ana suggested 78 (make) some pancakes. Ana told me that she seldom cooked at home 79 she was impatient. I told her I was not a good cook either, but we didn’t have other choices. Luckily, both of us had seen our mothers make pancakes before. Ana and I put the flour into a large bowl. While I 80 (mix) the flour with hot water, the telephone rang. Then we kneaded (揉) the dough (面团) and it became hard. We were confused (迷惑的) as we looked at our “pancakes”, which seemed much different from those our mothers made. But we still put them into the oven (烤箱). “This is the first time I 81___ (try) this since I was born. I can’t wait 82 (eat) them.” I said to Ana. A few minutes later, the dough didn’t expand (膨胀) but got burnt. At that time, our parents arrived home. They were shocked (震惊的) to see our faces, they 83 (cover) with flour.

More and more people do some reading by their phones rather than paper books. Some people say that e-books are more convenient (方便的) than paper books. People learn at different speeds, and mobile learning allows people to learn in their own way at their own pace (步伐). It is also easier for them to share with friends and read at bedtime. While others say that paper books are more convenient for us to take notes and do less harm to our eyes. And a study shows paper reading can help students get higher scores on a test than online reading. Which do you prefer: Paper Reading or Online Reading? Ann Reading online gives me a large amount of reading. I can read whatever I want and wherever I am. If I want to get more information about something I just read, I can easily search it on the Internet. I always turn off the ads to focus (集中). The wading app will recognize (辨别) my preference for books and prepare books for me. Bobby I don’t prefer online reading. While I am reading online, I get distracted (分散) all the time. Some ads coming up on the screen will cut in my thoughts. This is not helpful to build a thinking system. Maybe when I read something not important such as a comic book. I will choose online reading. But when it comes to something serious, I’d like to choose paper reading. Though the two ways of reading have their own advantages and disadvantages, they both play an important part in our life. And whatever advantages online reading has, it just offers a way of reading. It doesn’t take the place of any of the ways. As long as we choose the right way at the right time, we can get something from it. 84. Who prefers paper reading, Ann or Bobby? _______________________________________ 85. What method can be taken from Ann to help Bobby with his online reading problem? _______________________________________ 86. Which way of reading do you think is fit for you? Why do you think so? _______________________________________ 八、书面表达 (满分15分) 临近期末，学校将在学习小组内开展年终自评和组评活动，假如你是Sunshine小组的组长，请根据下面表格中的提示，用英语写一篇短文，对你的组员Daniel进行评价。 Name Daniel（九年级，15岁，属虎） Character 自信、乐于助人，有绘画天赋 Hobbies 最喜欢的音乐类型是流行音乐，以及理由 (自拟1-2点) 最喜欢的电视节目类型是纪录片，以及理由 (自拟1-2点) 看电影；最喜欢的电影明星是Audery Hepburn,以及理由 (自拟1-2点) Problems & ways to solve 作业多(自拟1-2种解决方法) 父母回家晚，没时间跟他交流(自拟1-2种解决方法) Dream …… (自拟1点) 注意：1. 词数：80-100词，开头已经写好，不计入总词数。   2. 句子结构紧凑，要点齐全，内容合理，篇章结构连贯。 A report on Daniel’s school year Daniel is a member of my team called Sunshine. _________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 初三英语 第 10 页 共 10页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024—2025学年度九年级第一学期期中质量检测 英语参考答案 一、听力部分（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分） 1-5 BAACB 6-10 AACAA 11-15 CCBBA 16-20 ACABC 二、单项选择。（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 21-25 BCDCD 26-30 ABDBB 三、完形填空。（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 31-35BACAD 36-40BCADB 41-45CCDAB 四、阅读理解。 第一节(共15小题；每小题2分, 满分30分) 46-48 ABD 49-52 ABCB 53-56 BCDC 57-60 BCCA 第二节(共5小题；每小题1分, 满分5分) 61-65 FEGBD 五、根据句意及所给中文、首字母与英文解释，写出句中所缺单词，每空限填一词（共8小题；每小题1分，满分8分） 66. controlling 67. latest 68. stricter 69. lifetime 70. wealthiest 71. university 72. live 73. presented 六、根据短文内容，用括号内所给词的正确时态或形式填空，使短文完整。 (共 10小题每小题1分，满分10分) 74. an 75. on 76.decision 77. ourselves 78. making 79.because 80.was mixing 81.have tried 82. to eat 83.were covered 七、阅读下面短文，用英语回答短文后的问题。 （3小题;84题2分,85题2分,86题3分,共7分） 84.

I used to play baseball and basketball with my classmates, but now I just stay at home and do my homework. I seldom watch TV these days, for I’m often busy preparing for my test. Books are my good friends. I used to read a lot of cartoon books instead of reading textbooks all day like now. I enjoy doing homework with my friends. But my parents don’t allow me to do that, because they think we will talk instead of studying. I disagree. We can learn a lot from each other. My parents are doctors. They expect me to be a doctor too when I grow up, but I want to be a teacher. Maybe I’ll be a doctor anyway, but I don’t think I could be a happy doctor. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $null
