Then, you should know the best skipping stone is flat, thin and small enough to hold in one hand. But now researchers say a heavier one, but no heavier than a tennis ball, is also good.

Flat, calm water is best, like a lake or pool. 3. Turn the stone around quickly when you throw it. Don’t throw hard. Instead, try to throw the stone quickly. 4. The best angle (角度) to skip the stone is 20 degrees. * The best way to hold a stone: Hold the stone between your thumb and middle finger. Put your pointer finger around the edge (边缘) of the stone. * The biggest number of skips of a stone on the water is 88. 21. Who is the text probably written for? A. Kids. B. Teachers. C. Parents. D. Researchers. 22. How can we skip a stone better? A. Find moving water. B. Skip the stone at a proper angle. C. Pick a thick round stone. D. Throw the stone hard and quickly. 23.

As teachers, we often love to encourage our students to try new things at a young age. However, I think this is a huge mistake—learning new things at any age is important and it can help us become better. Take myself as an example. I didn’t start playing ice hockey until my early 40s. My son is a huge sports fan and he often asked me to take him to watch games between the big teams. Gradually, I fell in love with the sport, and after a few months, I decided to give it a try. To be honest, it is the hardest sport I’ve ever done. There was so much to learn. In addition to mastering skating skills, I also needed to learn how to pass and shoot. I saw a lot of players get on the ice and pick it up quickly and easily. Yet I was an exception. I was so terrible at skating, but I never thought about giving up. So I took a skating training course, then joined a hockey team and practiced hard in my free time. I finally mastered the skill, though it took me a really long time. Learning hockey has also helped me be a better teacher in some way. Being bad at hockey helps me to understand those students in my class who have difficulty in learning English. I’m not stupid—it just takes me longer to learn and practice a skill before I’m able to do it. Some students are like that too—they might need to hear an explanation 3 to 4 times or need a few more days of practice. It’s good to learn new things, whether they come easily to you or with more difficulty. Maybe you didn’t use the past year to improve yourself or to learn a new skill—but that’s OK! It won’t be late to start anything at any time. 24. What does “the huge mistake” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. Learning sports with children. B. Playing ice hockey at a young age. C. Keeping students trying new things. D. Stopping learning new things because of age. 25. According to paragraphs 3 and 4, what does the author want to tell to the students? ①Practice makes perfect. ②Be patient with yourselves. ③Actions speak louder than words. A. ①② B. ①③ C. ②③ D. ①②③ 26. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage? A. To explain some rules of playing ice hockey. B. To encourage people to try new things. C. To call on people to take exercise. D. To teach how to learn English. 【答案】24. D 25. A 26. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者自己学习冰球的经历，并鼓励人们尝试新事物。 【24题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“As teachers, we often love to encourage our students to try new things at a young age. However, I think this is a huge mistake—learning new things at any age is important and it can help us become better.”可知，第一段中的巨大错误是指因为年龄而停止学习新事物。故选D。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据“I was so terrible at skating, but I never thought about giving up. So I took a skating training course, then joined a hockey team and practiced hard in my free time”可知，我滑冰很糟糕，但我从未想过要放弃。所以我参加了一个滑冰训练班，然后加入了一个曲棍球队，在我的空闲时间努力练习；根据“I’m not stupid—it just takes me longer to learn and practice a skill before I’m able to do it. Some students are like that too—they might need to hear an explanation 3 to 4 times or need a few more days of practice.”可知，我并不笨——只是在我能做一件事之前，我需要花更长的时间来学习和练习一项技能。有些学生也是这样，他们可能需要听3到4次解释，或者需要多练习几天。故作者在第三段和第四段告诉我们熟能生巧以及对自己要有耐心，即①②。故选A。 【26题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“It won’t be late to start anything at any time”及作者个人经历可知，写作目的是鼓励人们勇于尝试新事物。故选B。 C ①Imagine watching a movie in a foreign language or attending a lecture where the speaker talks fast, the subtitles (字幕) appear directly on your glasses. Isn’t that amazing? ②Recently, a magical pair of glasses—the AR Smart Glasses—has hit the market, which goes far beyond common translation tools by offering hands-free, screen-free, and real-time interactive (实时互动) translation. ③The AR Smart Glasses are lightweight and comfortable to wear. They look just like common glasses, but the “magic” hidden within them can’t be ignored (忽视). ④The coolest feature of the AR Smart Glasses is their special translator. When people talk with someone, they can just point the glasses’ camera at the person they’re talking to, and the translation appears on the screen. When people visit a new city wearing AR Smart Glasses, they can simply look at any text, and a translation quickly appears in their view. If they get lost and need directions, the glasses can connect with GPS apps and show them translated directions right in front of their eyes. Even for language learners, it would be wonderful to practice a new language by seeing the words they hear being translated simultaneously. Learning a language can become quicker, easier, and more certain. ⑤Since translation tools like the AR Smart Glasses help people understand words easily, some people start to doubt whether it’s still necessary to learn English, or, any other foreign languages. In fact, knowing a new language is more than just that. When you speak a language fluently, you understand the way people talk, the jokes they make, and the special meanings behind their words. This helps you connect with people better and make real friends. Also, being able to speak more than one language makes you smarter. It helps you think in new ways and solve problems more easily. In a word, learning a language isn’t just about understanding words. More importantly, it’s about real connections with native speakers and a different point of view to see the world. ⑥In conclusion, AR Smart Glasses provide super convenient and real-time translation, so they are a fantastic way for communication and language learning. But the cultural value of learning languages still matters a lot. 27. What does the underlined word “simultaneously” mean? A. In a careful way. B. In a proper way. C. At the same time. D. At all times. 28. What can’t the AR Smart Glasses do according to the passage? A. Translate when people are talking. B. Translate the text people see. C. Provide translated directions when people get lost. D. Teach people to speak a foreign language fluently. 29. What’s the best structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 30. What is the main idea of the passage? A. To introduce the features and functions of AR Smart Glasses. B. To discuss if foreign language learning is needed with translation tools. C. To encourage people to use AR Smart Glasses. D. To show the importance of language-learning apps. 【答案】27. C 28. D 29. D 30. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了AR智能眼镜功能及其在语言学习中的应用，同时探讨了学习外语的真正意义。 【27题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“real-time interactive translation”和“it would be wonderful to practice a new language by seeing the words they hear being translated simultaneously”可知，AR智能眼镜的翻译功能是实时互动的，所以可以将看到听到的单词同步进行翻译，at the same time“同一时间”和simultaneously“同时地”意思相近。故选C。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据“When people talk with someone, they can just point the glasses’ camera at the person they’re talking to, and the translation appears on the screen. When people visit a new city wearing AR Smart Glasses, they can simply look at any text, and a translation quickly appears in their view. If they get lost and need directions, the glasses can connect with GPS apps and show them translated directions right in front of their eyes.”可知，AR智能眼镜可以实现对话的实时翻译、翻译人们所看见的文字并在迷路时与GPS连接提供翻译后的正确路线，所以排除A、B和C。故选D。 【29题详解】 篇章结构题。根据文章内容，①引出AR智能眼镜话题，②介绍其基本情况，③④分别从外观、功能等方面具体阐述AR智能眼镜，⑤围绕AR智能眼镜引发的语言学习相关思考展开论述，⑥进行总结，D选项结构符合题意。故选D。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“Recently, a magical pair of glasses—the AR Smart Glasses—has hit the market”及下文内容可知，文章主要向我们介绍了最新上市的AR智能眼镜的特点和其功能。故选A。 D Dwayne sat staring at the peeling (剥落了的) paint on the walls of the small, messy room he shared with his two younger brothers. Through the apartment walls he could hear the crying of the neighbor’s newborn child competing with the music from the cars below. Dwayne sat and looked at the blank paper in front of him, considering how he would write a composition (作文) about his life. Mama wouldn’t be home for another half an hour, so Dwayne went to the kitchen to prepare dinner for his family. With Mama’s low income (收入), there wasn’t much to choose from. “I’m hungry,” said eight-year-old Raymond. “What are you cooking?” Holding his brother around the waist, Dwayne replied, “I’ve got my famous bean and rice casserole (砂锅菜). Want to help?” “I want to help, too!” cried Jesse. Shortly after 7: 00 pm, Mama got home. She saw her three sons laughing as they worked together setting the mismatched plates and forks. In the middle of the table she eyed an old baby food jar with a flowering weed that was pulled from the front yard. “Mmm-mm! Is that your famous bean and rice casserole?” Mama asked. “Mama, you’re home!” the two younger boys said as they raced to hug her. After the dinner, Mama stood behind Dwayne as he sat at the kitchen table, starting to write the beginning of his composition. “Son, what are you writing?” “Mama, it’s my composition,” came his reply. “And what is that composition about?” “We’re asked to write about our life,” said Dwayne. Dwayne’s mother looked around at the house. She thought about all the things she wished she could provide for her family. “Dwayne, I’m sorry you don’t have a lot in your life,” his mama said. “I have you and Raymond and Jesse. I live in a house full of love. I wouldn’t trade what we have for all the money in the world.” Pulling her son close, she whispered, “Neither would I, Dwayne. Neither would I.” 31. Why does the writer show the description of the apartment in the first paragraph? A. To show there were three children in the family. B. To show Dwayne’s neighbours were unfriendly. C.

Through the apartment walls he could hear the crying of the neighbor’s newborn child competing with the music from the cars below”可知，作者通过描述公寓的破旧环境，是为了展示Dwayne家庭的贫困生活。故选C。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Dwayne’s mother looked around at the house. She thought about all the things she wished she could provide for her family.”以及“Dwayne, I’m sorry you don’t have a lot in your life,”可知，妈妈因无法给予更好的生活感到愧疚。故选D。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。“I have you and Raymond and Jesse. I live in a house full of love. I wouldn’t trade what we have for all the money in the world.”及妈妈的反应可推断，Dwayne会写关于家庭温暖的故事。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据“…considering how he would write a composition (作文) about his life”；“ Dwayne went to the kitchen to prepare dinner for his family”；“Shortly after 7: 00 pm, Mama got home. She saw her three sons laughing as they worked together setting the mismatched plates and forks.”；“After the dinner, Mama stood behind Dwayne as he sat at the kitchen table, starting to write the beginning of his composition.”；“Dwayne, I’m sorry you don’t have a lot in your life,” 以及“I have you and Raymond and Jesse.

This small, cozy library saw me change from a shy bookworm to a confident speaker. At first, I’d silently read behind shelves. One summer, the librarian inspired me to join a weekly storytelling club. Nervous yet determined, I read a short tale. Others’ praise for my vivid telling gave me the courage to express myself. Later, I even started a teen book club there, sparking lively talks. Now, it’s more than a book-filled space. It symbolizes growth and connections. The paper scent and readers’ whispers remind me that sharing stories builds bridges. It taught me everyone has a worth-hearing voice and confidence can bloom in unexpected spots. 【解析】 【详解】[总体分析] ①题材：本文为一篇材料作文； ②时态： 时态为“一般现在时”和“一般过去时”； ③提示：写作要点已明确给出，注意不要遗漏要点。 [写作步骤] 第一步，开篇点题，介绍对自己而言意义非凡的地方； 第二步，通过分享自己的经历，介绍这个地方是如何改变或影响自己的； 第三步，介绍这个地方现在对自己的意义。 [亮点词汇] ①at first首先 ②inspire sb to do sth激励某人做某事 ③more than不只是 [高分句型] ①The paper scent and readers’ whispers remind me that sharing stories builds bridges.（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 $ 盐城市鹿鸣路初级中学2024—2025学年度第二学期二模考试 初三英语试卷 （卷面总分：120分 考试时间：100分钟） 命题人：王健 丁小燕 审核人：郭南希 卷首语： 亲爱的同学，在近期的冲刺训练中，你的收获一定不小吧? 今天就是全面展示的时候啦，加油！ 第Ⅰ卷（选择题，共65分） 一、补全对话（共5小题，每小题2分，计10分） （Jasper and Linda are talking about their future plans after graduation. ） A: Hey, Jasper!

Then, you should know the best skipping stone is flat, thin and small enough to hold in one hand. But now researchers say a heavier one, but no heavier than a tennis ball, is also good. That’s because... When a heavier stone hits the water, a bigger part of it goes under the water so it gets a stronger push from the water. * Top tips: 1. Find the right stone. 2. Flat, calm water is best, like a lake or pool. 3. Turn the stone around quickly when you throw it. Don’t throw hard. Instead, try to throw the stone quickly. 4. The best angle (角度) to skip the stone is 20 degrees. * The best way to hold a stone: Hold the stone between your thumb and middle finger. Put your pointer finger around the edge (边缘) of the stone. * The biggest number of skips of a stone on the water is 88. 21. Who is the text probably written for? A. Kids. B. Teachers. C. Parents. D. Researchers. 22. How can we skip a stone better? A. Find moving water. B. Skip the stone at a proper angle. C. Pick a thick round stone. D. Throw the stone hard and quickly. 23. In which part of a magazine will we probably read this passage? A. Story Land B. Study Problems C. Fun Science D. Sports Stars B Too late to start ice hockey? As teachers, we often love to encourage our students to try new things at a young age. However, I think this is a huge mistake—learning new things at any age is important and it can help us become better. Take myself as an example. I didn’t start playing ice hockey until my early 40s. My son is a huge sports fan and he often asked me to take him to watch games between the big teams. Gradually, I fell in love with the sport, and after a few months, I decided to give it a try. To be honest it is the hardest sport I’ve ever done. There was so much to learn. In addition to mastering skating skills, I also needed to learn how to pass and shoot. I saw a lot of players get on the ice and pick it up quickly and easily. Yet I was an exception. I was so terrible at skating, but I never thought about giving up. So I took a skating training course, then joined a hockey team and practiced hard in my free time. I finally mastered the skill, though it took me a really long time. Learning hockey has also helped me be a better teacher in some way. Being bad at hockey helps me to understand those students in my class who have difficulty in learning English. I’m not stupid—it just takes me longer to learn and practice a skill before I’m able to do it. Some students are like that too—they might need to hear an explanation 3 to 4 times or need a few more days of practice. It’s good to learn new things, whether they come easily to you or with more difficulty. Maybe you didn’t use the past year to improve yourself or to learn a new skill—but that’s OK! It won’t be late to start anything at any time. 24. What does “the huge mistake” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. Learning sports with children. B. Playing ice hockey at a young age. C. Keeping students trying new things. D. Stopping learning new things because of age. 25. According to paragraphs 3 and 4, what does the author want to tell to the students? ①Practice makes perfect. ②Be patient with yourselves. ③Actions speak louder than words. A. ①② B. ①③ C. ②③ D. ①②③ 26. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage? A To explain some rules of playing ice hockey. B. To encourage people to try new things. C. To call on people to take exercise. D. To teach how to learn English. C ①Imagine watching a movie in a foreign language or attending a lecture where the speaker talks fast, the subtitles (字幕) appear directly on your glasses. Isn’t that amazing? ②Recently, a magical pair of glasses—the AR Smart Glasses—has hit the market, which goes far beyond common translation tools by offering hands-free, screen-free, and real-time interactive (实时互动) translation. ③The AR Smart Glasses are lightweight and comfortable to wear. They look just like common glasses, but the “magic” hidden within them can’t be ignored (忽视). ④The coolest feature of the AR Smart Glasses is their special translator. When people talk with someone, they can just point the glasses’ camera at the person they’re talking to, and the translation appears on the screen. When people visit a new city wearing AR Smart Glasses, they can simply look at any text, and a translation quickly appears in their view. If they get lost and need directions, the glasses can connect with GPS apps and show them translated directions right in front of their eyes. Even for language learners, it would be wonderful to practice a new language by seeing the words they hear being translated simultaneously. Learning a language can become quicker, easier, and more certain. ⑤Since translation tools like the AR Smart Glasses help people understand words easily, some people start to doubt whether it’s still necessary to learn English, or, any other foreign languages. In fact, knowing a new language is more than just that. When you speak a language fluently, you understand the way people talk, the jokes they make, and the special meanings behind their words. This helps you connect with people better and make real friends. Also, being able to speak more than one language makes you smarter. It helps you think in new ways and solve problems more easily. In a word, learning a language isn’t just about understanding words. More importantly, it’s about real connections with native speakers and a different point of view to see the world. ⑥In conclusion, AR Smart Glasses provide super convenient and real-time translation, so they are a fantastic way for communication and language learning. But the cultural value of learning languages still matters a lot. 27. What does the underlined word “simultaneously” mean? A. In a careful way. B. In a proper way. C. At the same time. D. At all times. 28. What can’t the AR Smart Glasses do according to the passage? A. Translate when people are talking. B. Translate the text people see. C. Provide translated directions when people get lost. D. Teach people to speak a foreign language fluently. 29. What’s the best structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 30. What is the main idea of the passage? A. To introduce the features and functions of AR Smart Glasses. B. To discuss if foreign language learning is needed with translation tools. C. To encourage people to use AR Smart Glasses. D. To show the importance of language-learning apps.
