I know we are twin heads. But don’t you know that we have the same stomach? Whichever head eats, the fruit will go to the same stomach. I am the one who found this fruit and I have the right to eat it.” Hearing this, the second head felt bad but didn’t say anything at that time. Some days later, the second head suddenly saw something and flew down. It was a tree full of fruits. The second head went ahead and picked one fruit from the tree. Just then the first head shouted, “Stop. You must not eat this fruit. Don’t you know that this tree bears only poisonous fruits? If you eat it, then both of us will die at once.” The second head replied angrily, “As I have seen this fruit, I have every right to eat it!” The first head kept on begging and crying but the other head didn’t listen to him.

It is called Rope Dancing. ” In the show, a thin rope (绳子) was tied between two poles (杆子) very high above the ground. People had to dance on this rope. Each dancer tried to jump higher than the others. I had never seen such a dangerous sport. “Your Majesty, ” I said, “many dancers must fall and be hurt or killed. ” “Yes, ” he replied. “But I will give the best jobs in my country to the men who are not afraid and jump the highest. ” “What a strange way to choose who will work for the country! ” I thought. Then, as the king watched, I put my handkerchief (手帕) under the rope but above the ground. Any dancer who fell would land on the handkerchief and not get hurt. The king was very pleased with my invention. His family and many other people watched the rope dancing. “Would you and the queen like to see better?” I asked the king. I gently put them on my hand and held it beside the rope. They had a good view of the dancers. Later the king told me that he made the No. 1 dancer one of his chief (主要的) advisers. The king and I met often. He seemed to enjoy our conversations. One day, I said again, “Your Majesty, please set me free. ” This time he answered, “I have talked to my advisers.

If you have brothers or sisters, the order in which you were born may affect (影响) your choice of jobs, the Independent reported. Family roles based on (基于) birth order can affect people’s behavior and shape their personalities (个性). ②A group of British scientists studied 500 people from 11 different job groups. They found that older children are more likely to become astronauts and scientists. NASA astronaut Neil Armstrong and British scientist Stephen Hawking are both the oldest children in their families. ③That’s probably because parents are usually stricter with older children than younger children. This gives them a more disciplined (遵守纪律的) personality. ④The scientists also found that middle children are 30 percent more likely to become CEOs than their brothers and sisters. ⑤The scientists said that this could be because middle children need to do more to get attention from their parents. This makes them more competitive (有竞争力的), flexible (灵活变通的) and good at communicating. Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook and Bill Gates, former CEO of Microsoft, are both middle children. ⑥Younger children, on the other hand, are more likely to be the “softest”. They get attention by learning to pay attention to other people’s thoughts. This makes them sensitive (敏感的) to others’ feelings. ⑦Therefore, younger children are more likely to become musicians. German musician Johann Sebastian Bach and Austrian composer (作曲家) Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart were both the youngest children in their families. ⑧The study results also suggested that an only child is more likely to become an artist. They get full attention from their parents and are free to develop themselves. This makes them more creative and confident. 36. According to the passage, which is more likely to become an astronaut? A. The oldest child. B. The youngest child. C. The middle child. D. The only child. 37. What is a musician mostly like? A. Strict with themselves. B. Competitive and flexible. C. Sensitive to others’ feelings. D. Creative and confident. 38. How does the writer introduce the idea in Paragraph 1? A. By asking questions. B. By giving an example. C. By telling a story. D. By listing facts. 39. Which of the following shows the structure of this passage? A. B. C. D. 【答案】36. A 37. C 38. A 39. D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了出生顺序对选择工作的影响。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据“They found that older children are more likely to become astronauts and scientists.”可知，年龄较大的孩子更有可能成为宇航员和科学家。故选A。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Younger children…This makes them sensitive (敏感的) to others’ feelings.”和“Therefore, younger children are more likely to become musicians.”可知音乐家对他人的情感比较敏感。故选C。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据“What do you want to be when you grow up? Would you like to be a scientist or an artist?”可知第一段是通过提问题来展开的，故选A。 【39题详解】 篇章结构题。通断全文可知第一段主要讲的是出生顺序对人们性格和行为的影响，为总起段；第二、三段主要介绍older children的性格特征和工作类型；第四、五段主要介绍middle children；第六、七段主要介绍younger children；第八段介绍了only child。故选D。 Ⅴ. 补全对话（本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分） 根据对话内容，从方框内选择恰当的句子将对话补充完整（选项中有两项是多余的）。 A: Hi, Judy.

They may sometimes lose a game, but they won a fight against bullying (欺凌). Danny Edwards, the team’s “water boy”, was being bullied at school. Danny has had a speech disorder (语言障碍) since his birth. When he grew up, kids made fun of him for the way he talked and the way he dressed. Each day, Danny went to school in a favourite suit, tie and fedora hat (软呢帽). Danny didn’t think it was a big deal. “I. . . just feel. . . really. . . comfortable in it,” he said. Jimmy was upset when he found out Danny was being bullied. “I thought to myself, no one should be picked on for the way he looks or speaks,” said Jimmy. So Jimmy decided to wear the same suit and hat to school, too. “I did it to stand up for Danny and show him that bullying is not right. I wanted him to feel happy and safe and know that anywhere he goes he’ll be treated fairly by his friends,” Jimmy said. “I knew Danny would like it. I told my mum that I didn’t care what people thought about me in school because I was doing it for Danny.” When Jimmy told the other boys on the team what he was planning, they wanted to be part of it, too. So they planned a “Danny Edwards Appreciation Day (感恩日)”. They decided that on a special day, instead of wearing football jerseys (球衣), they would dress like Danny. Word spread about the special day, and other kids in school decided to show their support, too. On the planned day, they all dressed in suits and ties and met in the school library where they cheered, stomped their feet, and chanted “Danny! Danny! Danny!”. “I was. . . really. . . really happy, and it made. . . my. . . day,” said Danny. “It’s really meaningful for us to team up for kids like Danny,” Jimmy said. 45.

Why did the kids at school make fun of Danny Edwards when he grew up? _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 47.

(改为一般疑问句) __________ Hongyadong become a hit __________? 【答案】 ①. Has ②. yet 【解析】 【详解】句意：洪崖洞已经大受欢迎。此句要求改成一般疑问句时，主语Hongyadong是第三人称单数，将助动词has置于主语前。already“已经”，用于肯定句，而否定句或疑问句中要用yet。故填Has；yet。 50. John has visited the Great Wall. (对划线部分提问) ___________ has he ___________? 【答案】 ①. What ②. visited 【解析】 【详解】句意：John已经参观过长城了。对划线部分提问的意思是：John已经参观过什么了？what什么，特殊疑问词；he后用过去分词visited。故填What；visited。 51. July bought a book a week ago. (改同义句) July ___________ ___________ a book for a week. 【答案】 ①. has ②. had 【解析】 【详解】句意：July一周前买了一本书。根据“for a week”可知，句子需用现在完成时have/has done，且动词须用延续性动词，bought是短暂性动词，其延续性动词为have，过去分词为had；主语是Judy，助动词用has。故填has；had。 52. 这块岩石比他还要重很多倍。（完成译句） This rock ___________ many ___________ than him. 【答案】 ①. weighs ②. times 【解析】 【详解】根据中英文提示可知，英文句子缺少谓语动词“重”及名词“倍”，根据句意可知，本句为一般现在时，称重weigh，主语this rock是第三人称单数，所以动词用三单形式weighs“倍数，次数”英文表达为time，结合空前的many可知，空处应该用time的复数形式times。故填weighs；times。 53. 无论你是否同意，这都是他的最终决定。（完成译句） ___________ you agree ___________ disagree, this is his final decision. 【答案】 ①. Whether ②. or 【解析】 【详解】由汉语和所给的英语翻译可知“无论是否”译成：whether…or，句子开头，首字母大写。 故填Whether；or。 Ⅷ. 短文填空。（每空2分，共16分） 根据下面短文内容及部分首字母提示，在短文的空格处填上一个最恰当的词，使短文完整、通顺。 University provides young people with a lot of exciting chances.

As China develops rapidly, some people come to think that it’s enough to just learn Chinese well. As for studying English, different students have different ideas. In my opinion, learning English is still very necessary. First of all, English is a global language. It helps us communicate with people from different countries. For example, when I traveled abroad last summer, I used English to ask for directions and order food. Without English, I would have felt lost. Secondly, many advanced technologies and scientific research are published in English. If we want to learn more about the world, we need to learn English. For those who want to learn English well, I suggest practicing every day. Watching English movies, listening to English songs, and reading English books are all good ways to improve English. In conclusion, English is not only a tool for communication but also a key to understanding different cultures. I believe that learning English can help us improve ourselves and achieve our goals. 【解析】 【详解】[总体分析] ① 题材：本文是一篇材料作文； ② 时态：时态为“一般现在时”和“一般过去时”； ③ 提示：根据所给提示完成写作，注意标点符号及大小写等问题，不要犯语法错误。注意上下文之间的逻辑关系，语意连贯。 [写作步骤] 第一步，引出话题并表明观点； 第二步，结合社会现状和自身经历阐述原因； 第三步，提出建议并总结。 [亮点词汇] ① communicate with 与……交流 ② global language 全球语言 ③ suggest doing sth 建议做某事 ④ in conclusion 总之 [高分句型] ① English is not only a tool for communication but also a key to understanding different cultures.（not only…but also…结构） ② I believe that learning English can help us improve ourselves and achieve our goals.（that引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 重庆市第七中学校 2023-2024学年度下期 初2025届第二次定时作业 英语试题 （满分150分，考试时间120分钟） 第I卷（共95分） I. 听力测试。（共30分） 第一节（每小题1. 5分，共9分） 听一遍。根据你所听到的句子，从A、B、C三个选项中选出最恰当的答语，并把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。 1.

The first head started eating it, and it was the most delicious food it could have. The second head saw this and said, “How could you eat that alone? ” The first head replied, “Be quiet. I know we are twin heads. But don’t you know that we have the same stomach? Whichever head eats, the fruit will go to the same stomach. I am the one who found this fruit and I have the right to eat it.” Hearing this, the second head felt bad but didn’t say anything at that time. Some days later, the second head suddenly saw something and flew down. It was a tree full of fruits. The second head went ahead and picked one fruit from the tree. Just then the first head shouted, “Stop. You must not eat this fruit. Don’t you know that this tree bears only poisonous fruits?

C As night falls, a festival about Dongpo food culture welcomes crowds of visitors at a street in Haikou, the capital of South China’s Hainan Province. At a food stall (摊位) filled with Su’s poems about food Xu Yue, a university student, enjoyed such food and the famous works of Su. “What I see in these poems is not only the delicious food, but also Su’s open-minded attitude (态度) toward life in the face of difficulties,” she says.

In his later years, Su was sent to Hainan for three years. Su started Hainan’s culture and was deeply loved and remembered by people here.

Su created the Beijing culture. D I hoped to be set free one day, so I was nice to the Lilliputians (小人国的人). Gradually, they didn’t fear me anymore. Sometimes the children even played hide-and-seek in my hair. One day, the king said to me, “Gulliver, I invite you to watch an important performance. It is called Rope Dancing. ” In the show, a thin rope (绳子) was tied between two poles (杆子) very high above the ground. People had to dance on this rope. Each dancer tried to jump higher than the others. I had never seen such a dangerous sport. “Your Majesty, ” I said, “many dancers must fall and be hurt or killed. ” “Yes, ” he replied. “But I will give the best jobs in my country to the men who are not afraid and jump the highest. ” “What a strange way to choose who will work for the country! ” I thought. Then, as the king watched, I put my handkerchief (手帕) under the rope but above the ground. Any dancer who fell would land on the handkerchief and not get hurt. The king was very pleased with my invention. His family and many other people watched the rope dancing. “Would you and the queen like to see better?” I asked the king. I gently put them on my hand and held it beside the rope. They had a good view of the dancers. Later the king told me that he made the No. 1 dancer one of his chief (主要的) advisers. The king and I met often. He seemed to enjoy our conversations. One day, I said again, “Your Majesty, please set me free. ” This time he answered, “I have talked to my advisers. We agree that you have been good to our people... ” (—Adapted from Gulliver’s Travels) 32. What is Rope Dancing like? A. B. C. D. 33. What did Gulliver do with his handkerchief? A.

E ①What do you want to be when you grow up? Would you like to be a scientist or an artist? If you have brothers or sisters the order in which you were born may affect (影响) your choice of jobs, the Independent reported. Family roles based on (基于) birth order can affect people’s behavior and shape their personalities (个性). ②A group of British scientists studied 500 people from 11 different job groups. They found that older children are more likely to become astronauts and scientists. NASA astronaut Neil Armstrong and British scientist Stephen Hawking are both the oldest children in their families. ③That’s probably because parents are usually stricter with older children than younger children. This gives them a more disciplined (遵守纪律的) personality. ④The scientists also found that middle children are 30 percent more likely to become CEOs than their brothers and sisters. ⑤The scientists said that this could be because middle children need to do more to get attention from their parents. This makes them more competitive (有竞争力的), flexible (灵活变通的) and good at communicating. Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook and Bill Gates, former CEO of Microsoft, are both middle children. ⑥Younger children, on the other hand, are more likely to be the “softest”. They get attention by learning to pay attention to other people’s thoughts. This makes them sensitive (敏感的) to others’ feelings. ⑦Therefore, younger children are more likely to become musicians. German musician Johann Sebastian Bach and Austrian composer (作曲家) Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart were both the youngest children in their families. ⑧The study results also suggested that an only child is more likely to become an artist.

They may sometimes lose a game, but they won a fight against bullying (欺凌). Danny Edwards, the team’s “water boy”, was being bullied at school. Danny has had a speech disorder (语言障碍) since his birth. When he grew up, kids made fun of him for the way he talked and the way he dressed. Each day, Danny went to school in a favourite suit, tie and fedora hat (软呢帽). Danny didn’t think it was a big deal. “I. . . just feel. . . really. . . comfortable in it,” he said. Jimmy was upset when he found out Danny was being bullied. “I thought to myself, no one should be picked on for the way he looks or speaks,” said Jimmy. So Jimmy decided to wear the same suit and hat to school, too. “I did it to stand up for Danny and show him that bullying is not right. I wanted him to feel happy and safe and know that anywhere he goes he’ll be treated fairly by his friends,” Jimmy said. “I knew Danny would like it. I told my mum that I didn’t care what people thought about me in school because I was doing it for Danny.” When Jimmy told the other boys on the team what he was planning, they wanted to be part of it, too. So they planned a “Danny Edwards Appreciation Day (感恩日)”. They decided that on a special day, instead of wearing football jerseys (球衣), they would dress like Danny. Word spread about the special day, and other kids in school decided to show their support, too. On the planned day, they all dressed in suits and ties and met in the school library where they cheered, stomped their feet, and chanted “Danny! Danny! Danny!”. “I was. . . really. . . really happy, and it made. . . my. . . day,” said Danny. “It’s really meaningful for us to team up for kids like Danny,” Jimmy said. 45.
