For example, we shouldn't shout loudly in public. It's wrong of us to drop litter everywhere. When we have meals, we should eat up all the food. It's a shame to waste food. In our free time, we should enjoy reading because books are full of knowledge. They can not only make us wiser but help us relax. We shouldn't be afraid of asking questions. Being curious is a good way to learn more and understand better. We should also help the people in need. At weekends, we can talk with the elderly and help them do some cleaning.Besides, we can donate our pocket money and clothes to the children in poor areas. That's all. Thanks for listening. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 初二英语5月限时练习 第I卷（选择题） 一、听力选择(20) 1．What’s the weather like now? A． B． C． 2．When did the plane take off?

When she heard it from a little autistic (患自闭症的) girl, she almost cried. “That was the first time she greeted me on her own. I was so 35 ,” she said. Over the past two years, this Grade 9 student from Tianjin No. 1 High School has 36 for autistic kids at a local school. This year, she was chosen as one of “the most beautiful high school students” in the country. This is an activity held by the Communist Youth League (共青团) to look for excellent 37 . Every Tuesday, Shang would accompany (陪伴) autistic kids after school. She still remembers the “embarrassing (尴尬的)” 38 when she first met them. “When I asked what color they liked, they didn’t answer me 39 ,” she said. Slowly, she learned how to 40 with them. When sharing her experiences, she said, “it’s better to use simple words and short sentences 41 they are not good at language.” Last autumn, she became a Grade 9 student and found her homework more 42 , which made her quite busy. However, she still helped them in a different way. She opened a WeChat store called Weselllove with her friends. They sold hand-made soaps (肥皂) and made more than 3,000 yuan, which later was all 43 to the school to help autistic kids. In her free time, she did a lot of research (研究) and 44 many books to learn about autism. After that, she even wrote a report about it. “I put everything I learned in it. It may help more people learn about autism,” she said. 35．A．nervous B．worried C．touched D．angry 36．A．paid B．waited C．volunteered D．looked 37．A．schools B．patients C．teachers D．teenagers 38．A．environment B．answer C．programme D．situation 39．A．after all B．at all C．above all D．in all 40．A．agree B．communicate C．fight D．dance 41．A．because B．but C．so D．or 42．A．enjoyable B．boring C．difficult D．interesting 43．A．returned B．lent C．recycled D．donated 44．A．read B．sold C．wrote D．published 四、阅读理解(26) A How to write a secret message Do you want to write a message that can only be read by a person?

B The oil paper umbrella is a traditional Chinese handicraft （手工艺品）. It has a history of over 1, 000 years in China. In early Tang Dynasty, it was introduced to Japan and Korea, so it was called the “Tang Umbrella”. Later oil paper umbrellas were spread to other Asian countries, such as Vietnam, Thailand and Laos, and each had its own style. However, as steel-ribbed（钢骨的）umbrellas appeared in the last century, the hand-made oil paper umbrellas became less used in daily life. They were turned into decorative artifacts （装饰性工艺品）. Yuhang in Hangzhou is known for making oil paper umbrellas for more than 230 years. They are mainly made of skin paper, bamboo, and a coating of tung oil （桐油）. It takes more than 70 steps to make them, including making bamboo ribs, pasting paper and painting patterns. It takes at least a week to make per umbrella. In 2008, these umbrellas were added to Intangible Cultural Heritage List（非物质文化遗产名录）of China. A young man called Liu Weixue learned the traditional art of making Yuhang oil paper umbrellas from his grandfather. “I want to bring the art to life,” Liu said. He improved the umbrellas to win the heart of young people. As the traditional paper was easy to break, he started to use a kind of thicker paper. In a test, his umbrellas were opened and closed for 1, 000 times without breaking. He used a kind of lighter bamboo to make the umbrellas weigh less. Now Liu hopes the art can be passed on. He goes to local schools to teach students. He also goes to events in different places to make the art be known to more people. 48．What is the main idea of Paragraph 1? A．The history of oil paper umbrellas. B．The styles of oil paper umbrellas. C．The design of oil paper umbrellas. D．The ways of using oil paper umbrellas. 49．What is an oil paper umbrella mainly made of according to the passage? A．Wool, bamboo and a coating of tung oil. B．Plastic, bamboo and a coating of tung oil. C．Skin paper, bamboo and a coating of tung oil. D．Leather, bamboo and a costing of tung oil. 50．What can we infer(推断) from the passage about the future of Yuhang oil paper umbrellas?​ A. They will disappear completely in the market​. B. With Liu Weixue’s efforts, they may become more popular. C. They will only be used as decorative artifacts forever​. D. It will become easier and faster to make them in the future. C Although AI can bring people comfort, it still can’t match the full abilities of a human therapist(治疗师). Chinese people are using a chatbot called DeepSeek to talk about problems in relationships or at work. They say it helps to share their thoughts and get useful replies from the bot. AI therapy is becoming popular on social media, changing how people get mental(心理) health help. But can AI really take the place of human therapists? In 2024, 45% of people who needed mental health help didn’t get it. The main reasons were high costs and not enough therapists, says a report. Daniel Lowd, an associate professor(副教授) at the University of Oregon, believes AI could help solve the lack(缺乏) of therapy services(服务). “If people can find some support and opinions by talking to ChatGPT or chatbot Claude, then I think that’s wonderful,” Lowd told Newsweek. Doctor Li Yong agrees. He says AI can give some emotional(情绪上的) support. For example, DeepSeek uses simple ways to help with small worries by giving kind answers. But Doctor Li says AI can’t replace(代替) real therapists because it lacks “human touch.” Therapists develop a deeper understanding of people’s emotions and needs through communication, which makes them offer more tailored (有针对性的) treatment plans, Shanghai Observer reported. Another problem is if AI replies can be trusted. “AI chatbots act like therapists but don’t have training or someone to watch over them,” says Richard Lachman, a teacher. Experts believe we could have the key to effective(有效的) AI therapy. For example, Wysa, is a mental health app that offers therapeutic conversations with an AI chatbot. In 2022, it worked with the UK’s National Health Service(国家医疗服务体系), following a list of strict standards(标准). As AI becomes more a part of our lives, understanding its effects on human psychology(心理学) means finding a balance between what’s helpful and what’s dangerous, Euronews reported. 51．What is Daniel Lowd’s attitude(态度) toward AI therapy? A．Worried. B．Positive. C．Bad. D．Uncertain. 52．Why does Li Yong believe AI can’t fully replace human therapists? A．Because AI is unbelievable. B．Because AI lacks deep understanding of feelings. C．Because AI can’t take care. D．Because AI knows little about mental health. 53．What is the main topic of the article? A．AI’s role in mental health care. B．More people using AI chatbots. C．The future of mental health with AI. D．How AI helps with emotions. D Huck is my name, Huckleberry Finn. The story started when my best friend, Tom Sawyer and I found $12, 000 in a cave. That money made us rich. We got $6, 000 each. Judge Thatcher, an important man in St. Petersburg, put it in the bank, and now we get a dollar a day interest (利息). Then a kind old lady called Widow (寡妇) Douglas invited me to live with her because I haven’t got a family or a home. My mother died a long time ago, then my dad, Pap, disappeared. He was a violent (狂暴的) man especially when he drank a lot, which was most of the time, and he often beat me. I was scared of him. I didn’t go to school like the other boys of my age. I lived on the streets and in the woods. My life changed after I lived with the widow. She gave me a bed to sleep in and bought new clothes for me. She read stories to me and taught me how to eat at a table. But then her sister Miss Watson arrived. She brought her black slave (奴隶) Jim with her. I liked Jim but I didn’t like Miss Watson very much. She often shouted at me. Widow Douglas sent me to school every day. I didn’t like going there at first because learning was very difficult. But when I could read and write a bit, I didn’t mind going. The months passed and winter came. The weather got cold. One morning I woke up and there was snow on the ground. On my way to school, I saw some footprints outside the widow’s house. There was a cross on the heel (脚后跟) of the left one. My heart jumped. Only one person wore boots with a cross on the left head! Pap! “He has heard about my money,” I thought. “And he wants it!” That night I went to see Jim. Jim had a magic ball made of animal hair. There was a spirit inside the ball that could answer people’s questions about the future. 54.How did Huck get the $6, 000 which was put in the bank? A．Huck’s father gave him the money. B．Huck’s mother left the money to him. C．He got the money from Widow Douglas. D．Huck and Tom found the money in a cave. 55. How did Huck feel about living with Widow Donglas? A．He hated his new life. B．He didn’t care about his new life. C．He loved his new life. D．He wanted to get away from his new life. 56.What does the underlined word “he” in paragraph 6 refer to? A．Huck’s friend. B．Huck’s father. C．Miss Watson’s slave. D．Judge Thatcher. 57. We can infer from the passage that ________. A．Huck used to have a happy life with his parents B．Huck’s father might come to get the money C．Jim helped Huck many times when he was in trouble D．Huck missed the life before he met Widow Douglas 第II卷（非选择题） 五、单词拼写(10) 根据句意和汉语注释，写出单词的正确形式。 58．Do you think manners here are to ours?

A large number of museum visitors list it as one of the “most wanted cultural and creative products”. The fridge magnet looks like a real ancient phoenix coronet from the Ming Dynasty and comes in two styles: wooden and metal. The metal coronets come with AR effects that allow people to see themselves wearing them after scanning a QR code (扫描二维码). Visitors can buy the fridge magnets at the museum’s gift shop. Fu Zicheng, a 12-year-old student from Beijing, first saw the phoenix coronet fridge magnet online. He liked it so much that he went to the National Museum of China to see the real thing and learn about its story. After seeing the real coronet and a large number of other exhibits in the museum, Fu shared, “It’s amazing to see the richness of Chinese history.” Today, the “museum fever” is heating up in our country. Tourists’ interest in culture is one of the reasons behind it. To attract more visitors, museums across the country have introduced cultural and creative products related to their exhibits, from fridge magnets and key rings to soft toys. These products have important cultural value and make history more interesting. In addition, these products connect the past with the present, helping people, especially young people, to get closer to the culture of the country and be proud of it. 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。 78．Where can visitors buy the fridge magnets? 79．Why is the “museum fever” heating up in our country? 80．Which kind of phoenix coronet fridge magnet has AR effects, wooden ones or metal ones? 81．How did Fu Zicheng feel after visiting the National Museum of China? 82．What do you think of the cultural and creative products? 八、书面表达(20) 83. 进入初中两年来，你收获并成长了很多。在即将举行的八年级"青春仪式上，你将以"How to be a good teenager"为题进行演讲，请根据下表提示写一篇英语演讲稿。 内容要点如下： 要点 内容 礼仪方面 1. 公共场所举止得体......(至少发挥2点)； 2. 文明就餐……（至少发挥1点）； 学习方面 空闲时间多阅读……（至少发挥1点） 生活方面 帮助有需要的人……（至少发挥2点） 注意： 1．短文中应包含所要求的信息，可以适当发挥。 2．词数90词左右，开头和结尾已经写好，不计入总词数。 How to be a good teenager Dear friends， It is my great honor to make a speech for you.I would like to talk about how to be a good teenager. _____________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ That's all.Thanks for listening! 答案第6页，共9页 答案第1页，共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$同学们，初二听力考试马上就要开始了，请大家做好准备。一听对话回答问题。本部分共有十道小题，每小题你将听到一段对话，每段对话听两遍。在听每段对话前，你将有5秒钟的时间阅读题目，听完后你还有5秒钟的时间选择你认为最为合适的备选答案。One, what bright sunshine?
