Firstly, it gives us a lot of freedom. We can start our journey at any time we want, without worrying about the fixed schedules of buses or trains. Also, we can take as much luggage as we like. We can bring a big picnic basket filled with delicious food, and some folding chairs and a tent. In this way, we can have a picnic anywhere we find a nice place during our trip. Besides, traveling by car allows us to change our plans easily. All in all, driving a car makes our spring trip more free, comfortable and special. Taking Public Transport As far as I know taking public transport, like a train or a bus, is a great choice. First of all, it is much more environmentally friendly. By taking public transport, we produce less air pollution. Secondly, it can be much more relaxing. We don't need to focus on driving, so we can enjoy the spring scenery outside the window more comfortably. What's more, taking public transport is often cheaper. We can save some money on gas and parking fees. With the money saved, we can buy more local snacks or beautiful handicrafts in the city we visit. All in all, taking public transport is not only good for the environment and our wallets but also offers a relaxing way to enjoy the spring scenery during our trip. 评分标准： 1．学生能采用适当的时态、语态、句式和词语根据要求进行完整准确的表述。 2．对于时态和语言结构运用非常丰富，表述非常充分，语言非常流畅，能充分显示出考生运用语言表述的积极态度的文章，可以给满分。 分五档评分： 第一档：内容完整，表述充分，层次结构清晰，语言丰富、流畅、规范、准确。13-15分 第二档：内容完整，表述比较充分，层次结构比较清晰，语言比较流畅、规范，有少量语言错误。10-12分 第三档：内容不够完整，表述不够充分，层次结构不够合理，有较多语言错误。6-9分 第四档：内容不完整，语言表述错误很多或仅几个单词可读，不能完整表达意思。1-5分 第五档：内容与写作要求无关，完全照抄阅读。 0分 ( 1 ) 初四英语试题答案第 页（共2页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$初四英语试题第1页（共 8 页） 初四英语 1. 本试卷共 8 页,计 100 分。考试时间:90 分钟。 2. 请清点试卷,然后将你的信息填涂在答题纸上,项目填写要清楚。 3. 将选择题答案用 2B 铅笔涂在答题 4. 纸选择区域内对应题目标号上,将非选择题答案用黑色签字笔填写在答题纸指定位置 上。考试结束,只上交答题纸,自己保管好试卷。 第一部分：阅读理解 第一节：阅读选择（共三篇短文,共 15 小题,每小题 1.5 分，计 22.5 分） 阅读A、B、C 篇, 从每小题A、B、C 选项中选择最佳答案。请将答案按编号涂卡。 A We all have the ability to make friends.

At first the languages in Britain and America were the same. In 1776 America became an independent country. After that the languages slowly began to change. For a long time, the words in America stayed the same, while the words in England changed. For example, 300 years ago the English talked about “fall”. Today most British people talk about “autumn”，but Americans still talk about “fall”. In 1960, as American music got more popular around the world, American English words about music styles became better known. This made the difference in vocabulary between American and British English more obvious. At the same time, British English and American English started borrowing words from other languages. For example, the British took “typhoon” from Chinese, while the Americans took "tornado" from Spanish. Noah Webster was the most important person in the history of American English. In 1828 Noah Webster published the first American dictionary. He wanted to make American English different from British English. So he changed the spelling of many words. Except for these differences in spelling, written English is almost the same in both British English and American English. With the economic development, the USA is playing an important part in the world. The differences between American English and British English are much greater in spoken language nowadays. However, most of the time people from the two countries do not have any difficulty in understanding each other. 初四英语试题第3页（共 8 页） 6. When did America stop being a part of England? A. In 1776. B. In 1828. C. In 1960. 7. What does the underlined word obvious mean in paragraph 3? A. private B. clear C. general 8. Why is British English different from American English? A. Britain decided to change the spelling of many American words. B. American English changed but British English stayed the same. C. The Americans and the British took different words from other languages. 9. Why did Noah Webster change the spelling of many words? A. To make American English easier to learn. B. To correct the mistakes in British English spelling. C. To set American English apart from British English. 10. What's the structure of the passage? A. B. C. C On January 20, 2025, a Chinese tech company named Chinese Hedge Fund High-Flyer made a new AI called Deepseek. It quickly became the most downloaded free app on the Apple App Store worldwide, followed by ChatGPT from OpenAI, Gemini from Google and Liama 2 from Meta. This smart program can solve math problems, write code, and answer questions like top models such as OpenAI’s GPT, but it costs much less to build. The company spent only 5.58 million dollars that is 1/70 of OpenAI’s cost, which shows that good ideas can beat big money. A CNBC report agreed, “Deepseek has swept across the U. S. AI market, because it can beat American’s best AI with less cost and less-powerful chips (芯片).” Usually, AIs need lots of prepared examples to improve, while Deepseek learns by itself. For example, when dealing with customer service questions or recognizing images (识别图像 ), Deepseek doesn’t need a lot of pre-made examples like old-style AIs. It just figures things out on its own and does a much better job. Therefore, it can help run on low-cost computers helping schools and small companies. These great advantages of Deepseek have attracted (吸引) wide attention. More and more international companies want to work with Chinese AI labs. This makes China’s influence in the 初四英语试题第4页（共 8 页） international AI market bigger. At the same time, many foreign companies plan to spend more money on AI research to develop advanced (先进的) AI like Deepseek and get a place in this popular area. As a rising AI star, DeepSeek has a bright future. It can be changed for online shopping and medical imaging. Working with labs and cloud service providers will make it bigger, and the open- source community will help too. However, nothing is perfect in the world. 11. How many AI apps are mentioned in the passage? A. Four B. Five C. Six 12. How can we describe Deepseek according to the passage? A. Old-style and international B. Expensive and powerful C. Cheap and self-learning 13. What can we infer from the passage? A. Deepseek will take ChatGPT’s place. B. Deepseek will face more competitions. C. Deepseek will spend more money in AI research. 14. What will the writer probably discuss after the last paragraph? A. The reasons why Deepseek has a bright future. B. The challenges or problems that Deepseek may face. C. The plans of Deepseek to partner with other AI companies. 15. What’s the passage mainly about? A. The challenges that AI may face. B. The development of the U. S. AI market. C. The introduction to an AI model from China. 第二节：短文还原 （共 5 小题,每小题 1.5 分，计 7.5 分） 阅读短文，将方框中的句子还原到文章当中使短文内容完整。有一项为多余选项。请 将答案按编号涂卡。 Leopards (非洲豹)are part of the cat family.

The Pony Express (驿马快递), a fast mail delivery service (投递 业务), successfully completed its first journey from Saint Joseph in Missouri to Sacramento in California. This exciting journey began on April 3. The Pony Express hired skilled horse riders to carry letters and small packages (包裹). They promised delivery from one end of the run to the other in 10 days or less! In those days, communication over long distances was a challenge. Finally, there was a way to communicate with friends and family who live far away. You would not have to depend on slow boats or stagecoaches (公共马车). About 180 riders, 400 fast horses, and 190 pony express stations made up the pony express. Its riders were mainly of small build, and many were teenagers. They were chosen for their light weight, which could make the horses run faster. A day’s work was made up of about a 75-mile trip, with stops at several stations. The stations were about 10 to 15 miles apart. At each station, riders would quickly change to a fresh horse to keep up the speed. Riders earned about $100 to $150 a month. The Pony Express worked day and night to make sure important letters and packages arrived on time. October 26, 1861—Sad news for the pony express. After only about 19 months, the service closed its doors because of the opening of the telegraph (电报), a device that has changed long- distance communication. The Pony Express lost a lot of money and had to stop. Despite its short existence, it played an important role in American history. Before closing, the Pony Express set a record that delivering a package took just 7 days and 17 hours from St. Joseph, Missouri to Sacramento, California. 58. When did the pony express finish its first journey? (答案不超过5个词) 59. What made up the pony express? 60. How many stations would a rider of the pony express pass by in a day at least? (答案不超过2个词) 61. Why did the pony express close its doors? (答案不超过7个词) 62. Imagine you were the owner of the Pony Express in 1861. Facing the competition from the telegraph service, what method(s) would you think of to save the Pony Express business? Give your reason(s). 63. How do you usually communicate with your far-away friends? Why? 第二节：写作（共 1 小题，计 15 分） Your family is planning a weekend trip to a nearby city famous for spring scenery.
