In 1952, It was written by Ernest Hemingway, a famous American writer who devoted himself to writing. Hemingway’s writing features: concise words, memorable images, rich emotions and profound thoughts. There is no doubt that the story mainly tells about an old fisherman, who has been unlucky and always failed to do things. But he isn’t disheartened and keeps on trying and is able to look for victory from defeat. The novel has a say on a philosophy of struggle. I make a conclusion: sometimes the result may be a failure, but we all have to struggle. 【解析】 【详解】[总体分析] ①题材：本文是一篇材料作文； ②时态：时态主要为“一般现在时”；    ③提示：写作要点已给出，重点介绍The Old Man and the Sea的写作背景、主要内容及推荐理由。注意不要遗漏相关信息，可适当发挥，并突出写作重点。 [写作步骤]    第一步，开篇点题。介绍The Old Man and the Sea的写作背景，引出下文；    第二步，具体介绍The Old Man and the Sea的主要内容； 第三步，书写结语。指出推荐The Old Man and the Sea的理由。 [亮点词汇] ①masterpiece杰作 ②devoted himself to writing致力于写作 ③a philosophy of struggle一种奋斗的哲理 [高分句型]    It was written by Ernest Hemingway, a famous American writer who devoted himself to writing.（定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024—2025学年度第一学期期末学业水平检测 初三英语试题 注意事项： 1. 本试卷共10页，满分90分，考试用时100分钟。 2. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号、座位号填写在试卷和答题卡规定的位置上。 3. 选择题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的选项标号涂黑：如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再涂选其它选项。 4. 非选择题必须用0.5毫米黑色签字笔作答，答案必须写在答题卡各题目指定区域内相应位置上；如需改动，先划掉原来的答案，然后再写上新答案：不能使用涂改液等。不按以上要求作答，无效。 5. 考生必须保持答题卡的平整、整洁。 第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分35分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A The Greens’ great yard sale Time: June 17 (8:00 am~3:30 pm) and June 18 (9:00 am~2:30 pm) Things and prices for each: Coats (for adults): $2 Jackets (for kids): $1.5 Books: $1 Toys: $1 Bikes: $45 Guitars: $40 Wooden desks: $5 Chairs: $3 Attention: ▶ You are not welcome to bargain (讨价还价) here. ▶ Buy four books and get a new notebook for free. ▶ We can help to take the wooden furniture (家具) to your house if we are in the same neighborhood ▶ Our house is on Center Street in Sunshine Neighborhood.

She attended a poetry class to keep herself writing. The class asked students to find a way to bring poems into communities. “Why not bring poetry to the city parks where I work?” Barrows thought. Barrows started her work. A friend of hers provided her with an old night table. Then Barrows filled the drawer (抽屉) at the top with fresh paper and pens and added a box at the bottom for poems. Then she asked her close friends to help her fill the drawer with their favorite poems for people to take. Finally, she put her idea into practice. Barrows planned to leave the night table in one park for four days before moving it to a new park. “I wanted more people to join in the project,” Barrows said. “Barrow’s project is a great way to bring poems to people.
