Reading Comprehension ( 15小题，每小题2分，共30分 ) Choose the best answer according to the passage you read. （A） Beer and eggs are commonly seen in the kitchen. However, scientists recently found that they were used in historic paintings, too. To preserve (保存) Danish paintings, a group of researchers studied what ancient paint was made of. They did experiments on small pieces of paintings that had already been cut off from the original artwork. According to their paper published in Science Advances, grains (谷物) and yeast (醇母) were found on the base of the paintings. Beer was the most common drink in the 19th century in Denmark, and its by-products were spent grains and yeast. The study showed that they were used to provide a stable painting surface. Researchers also pointed out that beer by-product was used as a “glue” because it had a lot of sugar. With beer added, the paint can also dry faster.

A recent study published in Nature Communications may have “cracked” the secret of how eggs can help preserve artworks. The researchers re-created the ancient paint by adding egg yolks (蛋黄) to oil paint. They then looked into how it changed over time. The findings showed that the yolk’s proteins helped slow the oxidation (氧化) of the paint. It could also reduce wrinkling (皱褶) as the egg makes the paint more smooth. However, the oil paint with added egg usually takes longer to dry. It seemed fine for artists—they were willing to accept to have their work preserved for longer. “The more we understand how artists choose and use their materials, the more we can appreciate (欣赏) what they’re doing”, Ken Sutherland, an expert at the Art Institute of Chicago, US, told Science News. Sutherland added that research like this could help people have a deeper understanding of the artworks. ( )21. Why were beer by-products used in historic Danish paintings? A. To help the colors stick better. B. To keep the paintings clean. C. To make the paintings more colorful. D. To give the painting a different feel. ( )22. What does the underlined word “cracked” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. kept B. shared C. discovered D. explored ( )23. How could egg yolk proteins change the paint? A. The paint could age faster. B. The paint could dry more quickly. C. The paint’s colors could be nicer. D. The paint could feel smoother. （B） The Tang dynasty ruled China for almost three hundred years. During the Tang dynasty, China was the biggest and richest country in the world. It ruled other lands, including Korea, Iran, and a large part of Vietnam. The Japanese admired China and its culture so much that they copied much of it, even the written language. ____ ▲ _____ The Tang emperors loved the arts, and especially poetry. Twenty-seven-year-old Xuanzong became emperor. He was skilled in music, poetry and the art of beautiful writing. He liked poets, including two of the most famous poets in Chinese history Li Bai and Du Fu. Li Bai took life easier while Du Fu was a very serious and hardworking young man who always wanted to be a government official A Period of Glory (荣耀) During the Tang dynasty the country was full of creative energy. Foreigners were more welcome than ever before, and the mix of cultures and ideas made China an exciting place. Tea became very popular during the Tang dynasty. Everyone loved to drink it.

So much money was being used that China was running out of coins. The traders invented a kind of paper money that they called “flying money”. Perhaps because the money flew so fast from one person to the next. This was the first type of paper money in the world. A number of other inventions also took hold. At the end of the Tang dynasty, the invention of printing led to the creation of books. Hundreds of years would pass before printing was invented in Europe. An Explosive (炸药) Discovery An even more explosive discovery took place in China during the Tang dynasty. For many centuries, Chinese scientists had tried to create gold and find the secret to living forever. The results of their experiments surprised them—the mixture exploded! The Chinese scientists had discovered gunpowder. Later, they used the gunpowder for creating fireworks. ( )24. Why does the writer mention some countries in Paragraph 1?

Growing up in the countryside, Wangari was deeply connected to the land from an early age. This early experience with the environment later inspired her life’s work, which has left an unforgettable mark on the world. With the help of a program, Wangari received her university education in the United States. After graduation, she returned to Kenya. In 1971, she got a doctor’s degree from the University of Nairobi, becoming the first woman doctor in East and Central Africa. But her greater achievement was outside the university. In 1977, Wangari set up the Green Belt Movement, an organization focused on tree planting, environmental protection, and women’s rights. She called on Kenyan women to plant trees in their hometown. This simple act not only helped to protect the environment but also made women powerful economically (经济地) and socially. Wangari focused not only on environmental problems. She made great efforts to fight for democracy (民主), human rights, and social fairness. Her activism (激进主义) often put her in disagreement with the Kenyan government. As a result, she was put in prison (监狱) several times, but she kept fighting bravely. It was because of her tireless work that she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004. She became the first African woman to receive the award. Wangari passed away on September 25, 2011, but her spirit continues to inspire a worldwide movement towards environmental protection and social fairness. Her book, Unbowed, records her life journey and the challenges she faced, offering an inspiration to countless people worldwide. Her story lives on through the millions of trees planted by the Green Belt Movement and the countless lives she touched through her hard work. It serves as a reminder that even the smallest actions, like planting a tree, can have a great influence on the world. ( )28. For what purpose does the writer mention Wangari’s early life in Paragraph One? A. To describe how she grew up in the countryside. B. To tell us why she studied hard for a doctor’s degree. C. To explain why she cared for environmental problems. D. To show how she became a Nobel Peace Prize winner. ( )29. What does the underlined part “This simple act” mean in Paragraph 2? A. Setting up an organization. B. Planting trees in Kenya. C. Focusing on women’s rights. D. Fighting for democracy. ( )30. Why was Wangari put in prison several times? A. Because there was something harmful in her book Unbowed. B. Because she founded the Green Belt Movement organization. C. Because the Kenyan government was angry with her activism. D. Because she received her university education in the United States. ( )31. What can we learn from Wangari’s story? A. Small actions can make great differences. B. Brave people should win the Nobel Prize. C. Good education can help one be successful. D. We shouldn’t look down upon African women. ( D ) When you take the subway, you might notice many people, old and young, listening to audiobooks instead of reading paper books. Audiobooks have become quite popular these days. Why are more and more people choosing audiobooks over traditional books? Is listening to an audiobook just as good as reading a paper book? You need to find time available and a quiet place to sit down and read. However, you can listen to audiobooks anytime and anywhere you like, and it gives your eyes a break, too.

Researchers did an experiment to find the answer. Volunteers in Group One were asked to listen to an audiobook while volunteers in Group Two read a book of the same content (内容). It turned out that they recalled as much information, whether they listened to or read it. Another study from The Journal of Neuroscience further supported the result above. In the study, researchers scanned (扫描) people’s brains when they listened to and read books. The result showed that listening to audiobooks activated (激活) almost the same parts of the brain as reading did. However, some people still believe that they learn better from reading paper books. One reason might be that when we listen to audiobooks, we are often doing some other tasks at the same time. “If you’re trying to learn while doing two things, you’ re not going to learn as well,” Daniel Willingham, a researcher at the University of Virginia, told The New York Times.

But China has done a good job of dealing with it and it has found its own way to fight poverty. Instead of just giving money to poor people, it has also tried to educate people and give them the tools they need to lift themselves out of poverty. Ordinary (平凡的) people play a big role in fighting poverty. Here are two examples of them.     ( △△△△△ △△△△△ △△△△△ △△△△△○ △△△△△ 准 考 证 号 班 级 姓 名 △△△△△○ △△△△△ 装 △△△△△ △△△△△ 订 △△△△△ △△△△△ 线 △△△△△ △△△△△ 内 △△△△△ △△△△△ 不 △△△△△ △△△△△ 要 △△△△△ △△△△△ 答 △△△△△ △△△△△ 题 △△△△△ △△△△△○ △△△△△ △△△△△ △△△△△ △△△△△ △△△△△○ △△△△△ △△△△△ △△△△△ △△△△△ △△△△△○ △△△△△ △△△△△ )After graduating from Beijing Normal University in 2016, Huang Wenxiu gave up the chances to work in big cities and returned to her hometown Baise in Guangxi and served as the Party chief (党委书记) of the village. Thanks to her efforts, a total of 418 villagers were lifted out of poverty. Unluckily, she died in a flash flood at the age of 30 while driving back to her village in Baise. She was given the title role “model of the times” by the central government.     When Mao Xianglin started to work as the Party secretary of his village, there was only one pathway out of the village for many years. He led more than 100 villagers to build a road with their hands. It took them seven years to build an eightkilometer road. Mao then encouraged the villagers to grow oranges. Last year, their orange yield was nearly 40 tons. Many young people return to the village to offer help by selling oranges online. By the end of 2019, 269 villagers had been lifted out of poverty. The per capital income (人均收入) reached 12,670 yuan, and that is 40 times more than in the 1990s. A: China has tried to ___61______people and give them money to help them ____62_____poverty.

Our class had a discussion about whether Grade Nine students should be allowed to take part in the study trip. As the old saying goes, “Read as many as ten thousand books and travel as far as ten thousand miles.” I think we should be allowed to take part in it. Firstly, it provides us a chance to feel the power of nature. I think it is important for all of us to make an effort to travel and explore the world around us. In addition, we will have many team building activities to make our friendship stronger. What’s more, the study trip can not only help us reduce pressure but also make us relaxed. All in all, I think study trip is helpful to achieve a better self and life. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$理P名和桃第*刊指为雕证号中 ■ 初四期末英活答题卡 莫帝作文题 回 51 姓名： 雍级 考场/座位号： 注意事项 [D] (ol (ol o] fa] 年道速持姓名、精型。考场，和考证号线可调鞋 库底透券夏.品海使用口的笔响块您时利体皮物干净 上属道乔道。色来使用里色留学笔： a 4,忌境在卷号对皮的首随出城内信容，超比答道比域韩对无乳 41 缘考标记 ▣ T 71 I8] [8] 14T tn]IrI [AT IN]IC] M TAJ [HI ICI HIaT[n1【t[间 【A9m]Tc】Ia 2L4[I T【A1【831C 11A]I8J ICI 出IA1 IAT ICI ID网 7tA011G1] [a1[[c sA10g1c可 1[A)i][c] IA][[CI [D] 〔AI]c)口] 4[41I可[C1 p【A1Iay1c] I4 JA][a][c] 24 [A][N][cI [D] 四Aa】e】0] L目[BL 54A11a1c 251月(N 0A24a1得U TAT [nl fCT (DI nA1t1【c1tB1ITT 411A1a1Ic11 场[Aic1a 141[CD r1e1p【国月 君A1博11G】 4行[A1[B㎡tC1 3[a1[Lc可(D 3到LA]Ia]c】[D)【[Gi aA3Iac】l 4 CA)[n Ec:[n) 4[btC日D BI们目月o 4#1A】.】1G】 楼(ACB sa1[日D 0Ls]IIc]I[月【ci IA]IN][c][ 勇A《HcLa) 18 Filling 5t. 5 4 45 56. 57 SR 藕空遭 6 62 8 ■ ■初四年级 英语试题 第 1页，共 12页 初四年级 英语试题 第 2页，共 12页 2024—2025 学年度第一学期初四年级期末英语试题 注意事项： 1. 本试卷共 12 页、71 题、120 分。考试时间 120 分钟。 2. 答题前，考生先将自己准考证号、班级、姓名在试卷、答题卡相应位置填写清楚。 3. 选择题必须使用 2B 铅笔填涂；非选择题必须使用 0.5 毫米黑色字迹的签字笔书写， 字体工整、笔迹清楚。 4. 请按照题号顺序在答题卡各题目的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效； 在草稿纸、试卷上答题无效。 5. 保持答题卡清洁，不要折叠、弄破、弄皱，不准使用涂改液、修正带、刮纸刀。 第一部分 听力（共 25 分） I.Listening ( 20 小题，1-15每小题 1分，16-20每小题 2分,共 25分 ) 一、短对话理解（共 5小题；每小题 1分，满分 5 分） 你將听到五段对话，每段对语后有一个小题。请在每小题所给的 A、B、 C三个选项中选出一个最佳选项。每段对话读两遍。 ( ) 1.What's the weather like these days?

Reading Comprehension ( 15小题，每小题 2分，共 30分 ) Choose the best answer according to the passage you read. （A） Beer and eggs are commonly seen in the kitchen. However, scientists recently found that they were used in historic paintings, too. To preserve (保存 ) Danish paintings, a group of researchers studied what ancient paint was made of. They did experiments on small pieces of paintings that had already been cut off from the original artwork. According to their paper published in Science Advances, grains (谷物) and yeast (醇母) were found on the base of the paintings. Beer was the most common drink in the 19th century in Denmark, and its by-products were spent grains and yeast. The study showed that they were used to provide a stable painting surface. Researchers also pointed out that beer by-product was used as a “glue” because it had a lot of sugar. With beer added, the paint can also dry faster. Apart from beer, egg has long been found in oil-based paints used by artists in the 15th century, such as Italian painter Leonardo da Vinci. A recent study published in Nature Communications may have “cracked” the secret of how eggs can help preserve artworks. The researchers re-created the ancient paint by adding egg yolks (蛋黄) to oil paint. They then looked into how it changed over time. The findings showed that the yolk’s proteins helped slow the oxidation (氧化) of the paint. It could also reduce wrinkling (皱褶) as the egg makes the paint more smooth. However, the oil paint with added egg usually takes longer to dry. It seemed fine for artists—they were willing to accept to have their work preserved for longer. “The more we understand how artists choose and use their materials, the more we can appreciate (欣赏) what they’re doing”, Ken Sutherland, an expert at the Art Institute of Chicago, US, told Science News. Sutherland added that research like this could help people have a deeper understanding of the artworks. ( )21. Why were beer by-products used in historic Danish paintings? A. To help the colors stick better. B. To keep the paintings clean. C. To make the paintings more colorful. D. To give the painting a different feel. ( )22. What does the underlined word “cracked” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. kept B. shared C. discovered D. explored ( )23. How could egg yolk proteins change the paint? A. The paint could age faster. B. The paint could dry more quickly. C. The paint’s colors could be nicer. D. The paint could feel smoother. （B） The Tang dynasty ruled China for almost three hundred years. During the Tang dynasty, China was the biggest and richest country in the world. It ruled other lands, including Korea, Iran, and a large part of Vietnam. The Japanese admired China and its culture so much that they copied much of it, even the written language. ____ ▲ _____ The Tang emperors loved the arts, and especially poetry.

Li Bai took life easier while Du Fu was a very serious and hardworking young man who always wanted to be a government official APeriod of Glory (荣耀) During the Tang dynasty the country was full of creative energy. Foreigners were more welcome than ever before, and the mix of cultures and ideas made China an exciting place. Tea became very popular during the Tang dynasty. Everyone loved to drink it. Tea was grown in China, and the traders who sold it became extremely rich. So much money was being used that China was running out of coins. The traders invented a kind of paper money that they called “flying money”. Perhaps because the money flew so fast from one person to the next. This was the first type of paper money in the world. A number of other inventions also took hold. At the end of the Tang dynasty, the invention of printing led to the creation of books. Hundreds of years would pass before printing was invented in Europe. An Explosive (炸药) Discovery An even more explosive discovery took place in China during the Tang dynasty. For many centuries, Chinese scientists had tried to create gold and find the secret to living forever. The results of their experiments surprised them—the mixture exploded! The Chinese scientists had discovered gunpowder. Later, they used the gunpowder for creating fireworks. ( )24. Why does the writer mention some countries in Paragraph 1?

Growing up in the countryside, Wangari was deeply connected to the land from an early age. This early experience with the environment later inspired her life’s work, which has left an unforgettable mark on the world. With the help of a program, Wangari received her university education in the United States. After graduation, she returned to Kenya. In 1971, she got a doctor’s degree from the University of Nairobi, becoming the first woman doctor in East and Central Africa. But her greater achievement was outside the university. In 1977, Wangari set up the Green Belt Movement, an organization focused on tree planting, environmental protection, and women’s rights. She called on Kenyan women to plant trees in their hometown. This simple act not only helped to protect the environment but also made women powerful economically (经济地 ) and socially. Wangari focused not only on environmental problems. She made great efforts to fight for democracy (民主), human rights, and social fairness. Her activism (激 进主义) often put her in disagreement with the Kenyan government. As a result, she was put in prison (监狱 ) several times, but she kept fighting bravely. It was because of her tireless work that she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004. She became the first African woman to receive the award. Wangari passed away on September 25, 2011, but her spirit continues to inspire a worldwide movement towards environmental protection and social fairness. Her book, Unbowed, records her life journey and the challenges she faced, offering an inspiration to countless people worldwide. Her story lives on through the millions of trees planted by the Green Belt Movement and the countless lives she touched through her hard work.

( D ) When you take the subway, you might notice many people, old and young, listening to audiobooks instead of reading paper books. Audiobooks have become quite popular these days. Why are more and more people choosing audiobooks over traditional books? Is listening to an audiobook just as good as reading a paper book? You need to find time available and a quiet place to sit down and read. However, you can listen to audiobooks anytime and anywhere you like, and it gives your eyes a break, too. But the big question is, do we get as much knowledge from audiobooks as we do from paper books? Researchers did an experiment to find the answer. Volunteers in Group One were asked to listen to an audiobook while volunteers in Group Two read a book of the same content (内容). It turned out that they recalled as much information, whether they listened to or read it. Another study from The Journal of Neuroscience further supported the result above. In the study, researchers scanned (扫描) people’s brains when they listened to and read books. The result showed that listening to audiobooks activated (激活) almost the same parts of the brain as reading did. However, some people still believe that they learn better from reading paper books. One reason might be that when we listen to audiobooks, we are often doing some other tasks at the same time. “If you’re trying to learn while doing two things, you’ re not going to learn as well,” Daniel Willingham, a researcher at the University of Virginia, told The New York Times.

But China has done a good job of dealing with it and it has found its own way to fight poverty. Instead of just giving money to poor people, it has also tried to educate people and give them the tools they need to lift themselves out of poverty. Ordinary (平凡的 ) people play a big role in fighting poverty. Here are two examples of them. After graduating from Beijing Normal University in 2016, Huang Wenxiu gave up the chances to work in big cities and returned to her hometown Baise in Guangxi and served as the Party chief (党委书记 ) of the village. Thanks to her efforts, a total of 418 villagers were lifted out of poverty. Unluckily, she died in a flash flood at the age of 30 while driving back to her village in Baise. She was given the title role “model of the times” by the central government. When Mao Xianglin started to work as the Party secretary of his village, there was only one pathway out of the village for many years. He led more than 100 villagers to build a road with their hands. It took them seven years to build an eightkilometer road. Mao then encouraged the villagers to grow oranges. Last year, their orange yield was nearly 40 tons. Many young people return to the village to offer help by selling oranges online. By the end of 2019, 269 villagers had been lifted out of poverty. The per capital income (人均收入) reached 12,670 yuan, and that is 40 times more than in the 1990s. A: China has tried to ___61______people and give them money to help them ____62_____poverty. B: Huang Wenxiu returned to her hometown ___63____ _____64____working in big cities. C: Mao Xianglin ___65____seven years building an eightkilometer road with_____66__100 villagers. D: The villagers ___67___ ____68____ to grow oranges by Mao. E: Last year, the ___69____ of their oranges was nearly 40 tons and many young people return to the village to ____70___the villagers with help.
