The idea is that we will be happier if we often do inexpensive easy-to-do activities. However, the problem for many of us is that we don’t know what makes us happy. When I was in college, my mother gave me some advice. She said, “Before you get married and live with another person, you need to spend some time living by yourself. You need to get to know yourself.” So I did exactly that. For almost two years, I lived by myself. I found that I loved to spend hours in bookstores. I also loved to spend an afternoon just walking around the city. A simple pleasure for me would be to spend an hour reading a book in my backyard. However, that same activity would give my husband no pleasure. We are So different. Sometimes, we already know what makes us happy. However, as life gets busier and we get older, we put aside our simple pleasures. For example, I had to give up playing the flute when I started working and had family. But three years ago, I returned to playing the flute. I regret (后悔) having ever stopped. Simple pleasures are neither simple nor usual. Our simple pleasures express who we are. They are different activities that give each of us joy. Certainly there are some usual topics—such as being out in nature, doing something creative, or enjoying music and literature—but except that, each of us has to find out what it is that feeds our souls (内心). That isn’t always easy in a world in which we have to think about other people’s needs and opinions as well as our own, but enjoying simple pleasures is something that each of us needs. Think of it as your right, and say to yourself, “Today, I’m going to find out what my simple pleasures are.” 28. What is the main idea of the last two paragraphs? A. To realize simple pleasures is the most important part of life. B. The writer advises readers not to think about others’ opinions. C. How to balance others’ needs with their own needs. D. The writer advises readers to get simple pleasures actively. 29. What is the writer’s opinion about simple pleasures? A. Few people can enjoy them. B. They can show who we are. C. It’s expensive to get them. D. They change as we grow older. 30. What does the writer want to tell by sharing her experience of living alone? A. It’s important to live alone before getting married. B. A couple don’t always share the same interest. C. It’s worth (值得) spending time alone enjoying simple pleasures. D. Clever people often take their mothers’ advice. 31. What is the best title for the passage? A. Find Out Your Own Pleasures B. Live Alone to Enjoy Life C. Think About Your Own Needs D. Find Out Who You Are B You stand in a garden. A low noise reaches your ears. You see a small insect flying near your head. You turn to look, and it flies out of sight. There it is again! You move slowly. You can see yellow and black stripes on it. Is it a bee? It lands on a flower, and you take a closer look. Bees fold(折叠) their wings onto their backs when they stop flying. But this insect’s wings reach out like a fly’s. That’s because it is a fly—a flower fly. Many flower flies look like bees. This helps keep them safe from animals that may want to eat them. Insects with yellow and black stripes usually have stingers(刺). Insect eaters, such as some birds and frogs, need to get stung only once to know that stripes mean trouble. Flower flies can’t sting, but insect eaters see the stripes and leave the flies alone. Flower flies spend most of their time looking for food. Like bees, flower flies eat pollen(花粉) and nectar(花蜜). This makes them easy to find in a garden full of flowers. They are helpful garden insects just like bees. Adult flower flies move pollen from one flower to another, which helps some flowers grow into fruit. Flower flies can stay in one place while flying. Most insects move forward when they fly. But flower flies can twist their wings, much like hummingbirds do. Twisting keeps them in one place, so they can remain over flowers, leaves, or even you! 32. In which part of a magazine can we probably see this passage? A. Nature. B. Culture. C. Fashion. D. Health. 33. In which way are bees and flower flies different? A. The food that they eat. B. The colour of their stripes. C. The way they help garden flowers grow. D. The shape of wings when they stop flying. 34. What does the underlined phrase “leave the flies alone” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Make friends with the flies. B. Eat the flies up. C. Keep away from the flies. D. Invite the flies in. 35. What might the writer of the passage agree with? A. People usually prefer bees to flower flies. B People sometimes mistake flower flies for bees. C. People should stop birds eating bees and flower flies. D. People should have beautiful gardens in their neighbourhood. 用方框中选择适当的单词或短语，在横线上填入其正确形式。每个单词仅用一次 close， shake hands， as well， you， manner Do you know what it means to be polite? You are polite when you show good ____36____. Look around the lunchroom the next time you are there. You will quickly be able to tell who is polite and who is not. Your friend who talks quietly is polite. Those people who chew (咀嚼) food with their mouths ____37____ are polite. Those who are not very polite may play with their food.

Nice to meet you” The person you are meeting may smile ____39____. He or she will be pleased with how polite you are.

There’s no free lunch in the world. 52. According to the law, all the dogs should be kept on a leash (狗绳) in p__________. 阅读表达 （6%） Learning the language of a country isn’t enough. If you want a great visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of the country you are visiting. People in India think it impolite to use the left hand to pass food at table. The left hand is used for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man shake his head at another to show that he doesn’t agree. However, in many parts of India shaking the head means “yes”. In Bulgaria, you shake your head to mean “yes” and nod to mean “no”. At a meal in countries on the Arabic Peninsula (阿拉伯半岛), you will find that your glass is full again as soon as you drink up . If you think that you have had enough, you can put your hand over the top. In Europe it’s quite usual to cross your legs when you are sitting and talking to someone even at an important meeting. Doing this in Thailand, however, could bring trouble. Also, you should try not to touch the head of an adult (成人)—it’s just not good in Thailand. 53. How will you show others that you don’t agree in Bulgaria after reading the passage? _________________________________________________________ 54. What does the writer want to tell us through the passage? _________________________________________________________ 55. Do you think it necessary to learn about the customs of a foreign country before we visit it? Why or Why not? _________________________________________________________ 六、句子翻译（14%） 56. Sandy足够细心，能注意到她身边的小变化。 Sandy is ___________________________________________________ around her. 57. 我们应该避免在别人面前插队。 We should __________________________________________________. 58. 为了把这个小男孩救出火海，他冒着失去生命的危险。 To save _______________________, _______________________. 59. 对很多老师来说，一对一的开展他们的工作是困难的。 It is hard ________ ________________________________________________________. 60. Kitty忙于和他人交谈，以至于没有听收音机。 Kitty was too ____________________________________________________ the radio. 61. 昨晚，消防员相互密切合作扑灭了大火。 The firemen __________________________ the big fire last night. 62. 他很善良，帮助盲人过马路。 It’s _____________________________________________________________ the street. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2023-2024 第二学期 U5-U6 初二英语自我检测 一、单项选择（18%） 1.

A. I hope so. B. What a pity! C. Never give up. D. That’s right. 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我觉得学好英语对我来说很难。—永远不要放弃。只要你用心去做，没有什么是不可能的。 考查交际用语。I hope so 我希望如此；What a pity! 真遗憾；Never give up 永不放弃；That’s right 没错。根据“Nothing is impossible if you put your heart into it”可知，回答者是在鼓励对方不要放弃，故选C。 11.

Our simple pleasures express who we are. They are different activities that give each of us joy.” 可知，作者认为简单的快乐能体现我们是谁。故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据“For almost two years, I lived by myself, I found that I loved to spend hours looking around in bookstores. I also loved to spend an afternoon just walking around the city. And every so often, I needed the moments of pure silence.”可知，作者想通过分享她独居的经历告诉我们花时间独自享受简单的快乐是值得的。故选C。 【31题详解】 最佳标题题。根据文章的开头“Everyone talks about the advantages of taking time out for ‘simple pleasures’. The idea is that we will be happier if we often do inexpensive, easy-to-do activities.”以及整个文章的理解可知，文章主要是分享自己的经历，告诉我们怎样找到自己简单的快乐。故选A。 B You stand in a garden. A low noise reaches your ears. You see a small insect flying near your head. You turn to look, and it flies out of sight. There it is again! You move slowly. You can see yellow and black stripes on it. Is it a bee? It lands on a flower, and you take a closer look. Bees fold(折叠) their wings onto their backs when they stop flying. But this insect’s wings reach out like a fly’s. That’s because it is a fly—a flower fly. Many flower flies look like bees. This helps keep them safe from animals that may want to eat them. Insects with yellow and black stripes usually have stingers(刺). Insect eaters, such as some birds and frogs, need to get stung only once to know that stripes mean trouble. Flower flies can’t sting, but insect eaters see the stripes and leave the flies alone. Flower flies spend most of their time looking for food. Like bees, flower flies eat pollen(花粉) and nectar(花蜜). This makes them easy to find in a garden full of flowers. They are helpful garden insects just like bees. Adult flower flies move pollen from one flower to another, which helps some flowers grow into fruit. Flower flies can stay in one place while flying. Most insects move forward when they fly. But flower flies can twist their wings, much like hummingbirds do. Twisting keeps them in one place, so they can remain over flowers, leaves, or even you! 32. In which part of a magazine can we probably see this passage? A. Nature. B. Culture. C. Fashion. D. Health. 33. In which way are bees and flower flies different? A. The food that they eat. B. The colour of their stripes. C. The way they help garden flowers grow. D. The shape of wings when they stop flying. 34. What does the underlined phrase “leave the flies alone” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Make friends with the flies. B. Eat the flies up. C. Keep away from the flies. D. Invite the flies in. 35. What might the writer of the passage agree with? A. People usually prefer bees to flower flies. B. People sometimes mistake flower flies for bees. C. People should stop birds eating bees and flower flies. D. People should have beautiful gardens in their neighbourhood. 【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了花蝇的外观、生理构造及生活习性等。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了花蝇的相关知识，应该在杂志的“自然”部分看到此文章。故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Bees fold(折叠) their wings onto their backs when they stop flying. But this insect’s wings reach out like a fly’s. That’s because it is a fly—a flower fly.”可知，蜜蜂停止飞行时把翅膀叠在背上，但花蝇的翅膀却是伸出来。故两者的不同之处在于停止飞行时翅膀的形状。故选D。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Insect eaters, such as some birds and frogs, need to get stung only once to know that stripes mean trouble. Flower flies can’t sting, but insect eaters see the stripes and leave the flies alone.”可知，带有黄色和黑色条纹的昆虫通常有刺，花蝇身上有黄黑条纹，虽然它身上没有刺，但是一些以昆虫为食的动物看到花蝇身上的条纹就会远离花蝇，故划线部分意为“远离花蝇”。故选C。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Is it a bee? It lands on a flower, and you take a closer look.”及“Many flower flies look like bees.”可知，花蝇的外观和生活习性与蜜蜂有些相似，所以人们有时会把花蝇误认为蜜蜂。故选B。 用方框中选择适当的单词或短语，在横线上填入其正确形式。每个单词仅用一次 close， shake hands， as well， you， manner Do you know what it means to be polite?

If you want a great visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of the country you are visiting. People in India think it impolite to use the left hand to pass food at table. The left hand is used for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man shake his head at another to show that he doesn’t agree. However, in many parts of India shaking the head means “yes”. In Bulgaria you shake your head to mean “yes” and nod to mean “no”. At a meal in countries on the Arabic Peninsula (阿拉伯半岛), you will find that your glass is full again as soon as you drink up . If you think that you have had enough, you can put your hand over the top. In Europe it’s quite usual to cross your legs when you are sitting and talking to someone even at an important meeting. Doing this in Thailand, however, could bring trouble. Also, you should try not to touch the head of an adult (成人)—it’s just not good in Thailand. 53. How will you show others that you don’t agree in Bulgaria after reading the passage? _________________________________________________________ 54. What does the writer want to tell us through the passage? _________________________________________________________ 55.
