It’s a bird.” Five minutes later, Kevin asked again, “Danny, what is that?” Danny looked up and said, “Dad, I told you. It’s a bird. And I’m sure of it.” Another five minutes passed, Kevin asked a third time, “Danny, what’s that?” This time Danny became angry and shouted, “How many times do I have to tell you? It’s a BIRD! Don’t you understand? Why do you ask me over and over again?” Kevin didn’t say anything. He stood up and took out a diary from the table, turned to a page in front of Danny’s eyes. Danny was still angry. However, he began to read it out of respect. “It’s a nice day. My three-year-old boy Danny was sitting with me in the yard. We saw a bird landing on the apple tree. Danny asked me what it was. I smiled and told him it was a bird and embraced (拥抱) him. A few minutes later, Danny asked me a second time and I did the same. Just like that, little Danny asked me the same question for 25 times. And I replied to him with the same answer and embraced him every single time.” Danny’s heart was touched by something warm and his face turned red with shame. He turned around and gave Kevin a deep embrace. “I’m sorry, Dad. I shouldn’t say those words.” Your parents gave you much in their life, but you may not realize that until they are gone.

Gold is wanted because it’s rare (稀少) and has many meanings. Athletes are proud of winning gold medals. Families give babies gold bracelets, wishing them good health. People buy and store gold to save for a rainy day. Recently, the price of gold has kept rising, making it even more wanted. In fact, gold holds a place in people’s hearts, not only as a symbol of wealth. The rarer something is, the more valuable it is. Gold is a golden example. Gold has been around since Earth was born. Most of it is in Earth’s core. It’s hard to dig out the gold there. Less than 1 percent of gold is from the crust of Earth. We have dug out a lot of this gold. In about 30 years, we will have no gold left to dig out. Gold isn’t just about being rich. It is also about being powerful. A long time ago in China, the most powerful people were emperors and their families. They were big fans of gold. They sat on golden chairs, wore crowns with gold, and ate and drank from gold cups and bowls. As gold was super rare, using things made of gold showed their high status. Moreover, in the past, many people believed gold was good for one’s health. They thought eating from gold bowls and wearing gold things could make people live longer. There are about 60 trillion tons of gold in the world. We’ve mined 170,000 tons of it. Many countries have rich gold mine reserves, such as Australia, Russia and South Africa. If we put all the gold we found together, it could be made into a cube like this one on the right. 46. How does the writer begin in the passage? A. By asking a question. B. By showing a saying. C. By giving an example. D. By telling a story. 47. What does the underlined phrase “save for a rainy day” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. make preparations for the future B. save a lot of money C. buy a raincoat D. there is good weather 48. Where is most of the gold on Earth? A. It’s from the crust of the Earth. B.

Cui Qingtao, a student from Yunnan, working with his parents on a building site when he got an admission letter(录取通知书) from Peking University. ___51___She is a student form Hebei. She was doing her part-time job in a different city when her family got her admission letter from Peking University. ___52___For example, they are all strong and optimistic (乐观的). Li Enhui said in an interview, “As long as we are alive, there are no problems that cannot be solved, and many people don’t have my experiences. ___53___” Such an idea makes many adults feel embarrassed. He refused to accept donation money and decided to make money by himself. This is also the common thing that “poor students” have. Whatever kind of values you hold, such personalities( 品 格 ) are necessary for growth.___54___ Not everything goes well all the time. Only being strong and optimistic, can one go through difficulties. In fact, living in poor families doesn’t promise such good personalities, and living in happiness doesn’t promise optimistic attitudes(态度). We like such “poor students” because they are strong and optimistic. For them, few can choose their lifestyles.___55___That’s why they are highly praised. Every one of us should learn from them. A. Life is full of ups and downs. B. A girl named Wang Xinyi is another example. C. “Poor students” are usually hard-working and caring. D. And these experiences make me grow and become better. E. Born in poor families, these students have a lot in common. F. However, all of them can choose their attitudes towards life. 【答案】51. B 52. E 53. D 54. A 55. F 【解析】 【分析】很多优秀的学生都来自贫困的家庭，短文中给我们举了一些例子，这些学生们身上都有一些共同的特点：他们都坚强、乐观，这对于我们的成长是必要的。其实我们每个人都可以有这样的品格，我们应该向他们学习。 【51题详解】 短文第一句话We’ve heard about several “poor students” in the past year提到了一些“贫困的学生”，然后举了崔庆涛的例子。这个空后She is a student form Hebei.提到了是另外一个例子，因此这里应该是讲到一个女生，故选 B，意为“一个叫王欣怡的女生是另外一个例子。” 【52题详解】 根据空后的这句话For example, they are all strong and optimistic (乐观的). “他们都是坚强和乐观的”，因此这里说的是他们的共同点，故选 E，意为“出生在贫困家庭，这些学生有很多共同点。” 【53题详解】 根据上文As long as we are alive, there are no problems that cannot be solved, and many people don’t have my experiences.可知，下文会继续说到“我”的这些经历的影响，故D选项符合文意，意为“这些经历使我成长，而且变得更好。” 【54题详解】 根据Whatever kind of values you hold, such personalities(品格) are necessary for growth.以及下句话Not everything goes well all the time.，“不管你拥有什么样的价值，这样的品格对于成长都是有必要的”，“不是每件事都总是进展顺利”可知，选项处起到了承上启下的作用，故选 A，意为“生活中充满了起起落落。” 【55题详解】 根据For them, few can choose their lifestyles….That’s why they are highly praised.可知，空前提到几乎没有人选择他们的生活方式，空后提到那就是为什么他们受到高度赞扬的原因，可知这里的空白处也是承上启下的作用，故选F，意为“然而他们都可以选择自己对生活的态度”。 第二部分 非选择题(共40分) 注意事项： 第二部分共两页，用0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔答在答题卡上，不能答在试卷上。 第三部分 写作 共4节 第一节、单词拼写(5分) 56. Some p________ in Grade Three were playing games happily on the playground. 【答案】(p)upils 【解析】 【详解】句意：一些三年级的学生在操场上开心地玩游戏。根据“were playing games happily on the playground”可知，此处指“学生”在玩游戏。结合首字母提示，可知应填pupil，Some后需加可数名词复数。故填(p)upils。 57. You can’t i______ how I missed you all. 【答案】(i)magine 【解析】 【详解】句意：你无法想象我有多想念你们所有人。句中缺少谓语动词，结合“how I missed you all”和首字母提示可知，imagine“想象”符合语境，表达“难以想象对大家的思念程度”，can’t后接动词原形。故填(i)magine。 58. Why not explain it more c________ so that they can understand you better? 【答案】(c)learly 【解析】 【详解】句意：为什么不解释得更清楚些，这样他们就能更好地理解你呢？根据首字母提示和“so that they can understand you better”可知，指的是解释清楚以便更好理解，此处副词修饰动词，clearly“清楚地”，符合句意，故填(c)learly。 59. Our maths teacher is very h________ and he always makes us laugh in his class. 【答案】(h)umorous 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们的数学老师非常幽默，他总是在课堂上逗我们笑。根据后半句“he always makes us laugh in his class”和结合首字母h可知，是在描述数学老师具有能让人发笑的特质。humorous是形容词，意思是“幽默的”，符合题意。故填(h)umorous。 60. Ben was helping his mother when the rain began to beat heavily a__________ the windows. 【答案】(a)gainst 【解析】 【详解】句意：本正在帮助他的妈妈，这时大雨开始猛烈地打在窗户上。根据“the rain began to beat heavily”可推出是雨水击打着窗户，结合首字母a可知要用against表示“碰，撞”。故填(a)gainst。 五、短文填空 Although e-books are popular, most people prefer paper books.____61____ (read) paper books is really a good habit, ____62____ it also means cutting down trees. Could the books be changed back ____63____ a tree? A book publishing company called Pequeno Editor ____64____ (make) it possible already! The company’s special book, My Father Was in the Jungle, has come out. In ____65____ book, a young boy takes the readers on an ____66____(excite) journey inside a jungle with his father. The book is made from acid-free paper (无酸纸) and printed in special ink. And it is recycled. Tree seeds are ____67____ (careful) put into the pages. After someone finishes reading, he or she can water the book and put it in a ____68____ (sun) place. Once the seeds sprout (发芽), the book can be planted in the soil. From then on, the book just has to be taken care of like any other plant. The only unlucky part is that the publishers are not planning ____69____ (change) any of their other books soon. This project was just a one-time project to make people have the idea of ____70____ (protect) the environment. 【答案】61. Reading 62. but 63. into 64. has made 65. the 66. exciting 67. carefully 68. sunny 69. to change 70. protecting 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍一家名为Pequeno Editor的图书出版公司推出了一款特殊书籍，此书采用无酸纸和特殊油墨印刷，并在书页中植入树种子。读者读完后，只需浇水并将其种植，就能让书籍“变回”树木。该项目虽是一次性尝试，但其核心目的是让人们树立环保意识。 【61题详解】 句意：读纸质书真的是一个好习惯，但这也意味着要砍伐树木。此处需用动名词作主语，动词原形“read”不能直接作主语，动名词“Reading”可充当主语，符合语法规则。故填Reading。 【62题详解】 句意：读纸质书真的是一个好习惯，但这也意味着要砍伐树木。根据“Reading paper books is really a good habit”和“it also means cutting down trees”之间的关系，可知需用表转折的连词“but”。故填but。 【63题详解】 句意：书籍能变回一棵树吗？固定搭配“change back into...”表示 “变回……”，此处指书籍能否变回树木，符合语境。故填into。 【64题详解】 句意：一家名为Pequeno Editor的图书出版公司已经让这成为可能！句中“already”是现在完成时的标志词，现在完成时结构为“have/has+过去分词”，主语是第三人称单数“company”，因此用“has made”。故填has made。 【65题详解】 句意：在这本书中，一个小男孩和他的父亲一起带领读者进行了一次激动人心的丛林探险。此处特指前文提到的“My Father Was in the Jungle”这本书，需用表特指的定冠词“the”。故填the。 【66题详解】 句意：在这本书中，一个小男孩和他的父亲一起带领读者进行了一次激动人心的丛林探险。此处需填形容词修饰名词 “journey”，“exciting”意为“令人兴奋的”，符合题意。故填exciting。 【67题详解】 句意：树的种子被小心地放入书页中。此处需用副词修饰动词“put”，形容词“careful”的副词形式是“carefully”，表示“小心地”。故填carefully。 【68题详解】 句意：有人读完后，他或她可以给书浇水，然后把它放在一个阳光充足的地方。此处需填形容词来修饰名词“place”，“sunny”是“sun”的形容词形式，意为“阳光充足的”。故填sunny。 【69题详解】 句意：唯一遗憾的是，出版商不打算很快修改他们的其他任何书籍。“plan to do sth.”意为“计划做某事”，是固定搭配，因此要用“change”的动词不定式“to change”。故填to change。 【70题详解】 句意：这个项目只是一次性的，目的是让人们产生保护环境的意识。介词“of”后需接动名词作宾语，动词原形“protect”需变为动名词“protecting”。故填protecting。 第三节 信息摘录(5分) Shadow puppets (皮影戏) is a famous Chinese art of storytelling. It is more than 2,000 years old. Although there was lots of earlier information of shadow play in China, it wasn’t clearly written in history books until the Northern Song dynasty. During the Tang dynasty, shadow play became an art in China and was popular with people and many people loved it very much during the Song dynasty. People performed it when they had holidays and festivals. In the Yuan dynasty, it was performed in some other countries. During the play, the performers stand behind a screen with a light behind them. They control the puppets with thin sticks in their hands and they put the puppets very close to the screen so people can see it clearly. They tell the story by singing. Shadow puppets are made of leather (皮革). Each puppet is painted in bright colors and put on a stick. Different colors are used to show good and bad persons in the drama. Some puppets have movable (移动) arms and legs. In fact, being a shadow play artist is not easy. The performer needs to spend a long time watching and studying how people and animals move. Before giving the performance, he needs to practice very hard. In this way, he can do well in the play to make people think the puppets real. What’s more, working with others together is also important during the play, because a puppet may need four or five sticks and two or three performers to control it together. Now, with TV and films, shadow play is not as popular as it once was, but it is a symbol of Chinese culture for sure and we Chinese should develop it.

In the Song dynasty people performed it during holidays and festivals and wrote it in books. In the Yuan dynasty some other countries began performing it.”可知，本部分主要介绍了皮影戏在唐朝、宋朝和元朝的发展历史；考查history“历史”，名词，此处应大写首字母。故填History。 【73题详解】 根据第二段“They control the puppets with thin sticks in their hands”可知，他们用细棍而不是粗棍来控制皮影；instead of“代替；而不是”，介词短语。故填with thin sticks instead。 【74题详解】 根据最后一段“but it is a symbol of Chinese culture for sure and we Chinese should develop it”可知，皮影戏在中国文化中扮演重要角色；考查play an important part/role in...“在……中起重要作用”，动词短语。故填an important part/role。 【75题详解】 根据第三段“Before giving the performance, he needs to practice very hard.”可知，成为皮影戏艺术家需要大量的练习；考查practice“练习”，不可数名词。故填practice。 76. 是否应该帮助陌生人 最近，你们班就“是否应该帮助陌生人”展开了讨论，同学们就这一话题意见不一，你的看法如何？根据所提供的信息，以“Should We Help Strangers?”为题，写一篇短文。 原因 赞成 帮助他人是美德； 帮助他人就是帮助自己； 反对 怕陷入麻烦； 怕被误解； 你的观点？（至少两点） 要求：（1）表达清楚，语法正确，上下文连贯； （2）必须包括表格中所有的相关信息，并适当发挥； （3）词数：100左右（征文的开头已给出，不计入总词数）； （4）不得使用真实姓名、校名和地名等。 参考词汇：美德virtue Should We Help Strangers?

Recently our class had a discussion about whether we should help strangers. Different students have different opinions. Some think we should try to help strangers. Helping others is a virtue, and helping others is helping ourselves. We may come across some trouble and need others’ help some day. If everyone isn’t willing to help us just because we are strangers to them, it’s hard to imagine what our world will be like. However, some are afraid that helping others can sometimes bring us trouble. Sometimes we are just misunderstood and even have to pay the cost of kindness. In my opinion, we should try our best to help others when they are in need of help, but we should also protect ourselves from getting into trouble. If everyone tries a little kindness, our world will be full of love. 【解析】 【分析】 【详解】1.题干解读：题目要求根据表格内的信息，以“Should We Help Strangers?”为题，写一篇短文。 2.写作指导：本文主要以第一、三人称写作，时态主要采用一般现在时。分为三段式：第一段开头已给出；第二段介绍学生对此的不同观点；最后一段表达自己的观点。写作时保持主谓一致性，做到无语法和标点错误。 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 泸县五中初2023级初二下期第三次定时练习 英 语 (时间：120分钟，满分：120分) 一、听力部分(满分20分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1分，满分5分) 1.

B On a sunny afternoon, old Kevin was lying on the sofa in the yard while his son Danny came back from work. When Danny sat down, a bird came and landed on the apple tree in the yard. Kevin asked, “Did you see that? What is that?” Danny replied, “Nothing. It’s a bird.” Five minutes later, Kevin asked again, “Danny, what is that?” Danny looked up and said, “Dad, I told you. It’s a bird. And I’m sure of it.” Another five minutes passed, Kevin asked a third time, “Danny, what’s that?” This time Danny became angry and shouted, “How many times do I have to tell you? It’s a BIRD! Don’t you understand? Why do you ask me over and over again?” Kevin didn’t say anything. He stood up and took out a diary from the table, turned to a page in front of Danny’s eyes. Danny was still angry. However, he began to read it out of respect. “It’s a nice day. My three-year-old boy Danny was sitting with me in the yard. We saw a bird landing on the apple tree. Danny asked me what it was. I smiled and told him it was a bird and embraced (拥抱) him. A few minutes later, Danny asked me a second time and I did the same. Just like that, little Danny asked me the same question for 25 times. And I replied to him with the same answer and embraced him every single time.” Danny’s heart was touched by something warm and his face turned red with shame. He turned around and gave Kevin a deep embrace. “I’m sorry, Dad. I shouldn’t say those words.” Your parents gave you much in their life, but you may not realize that until they are gone. So treat them with more love. 41. How many times did Kevin ask his son the same question? A. 2. B. 3. C. 4. D. 5. 42. What did Kevin do after little Danny asked him the question? A. Keeping silent.

Be quiet when someone shouts at you. B. We should treat our parents with more love. C. Don’t ask the same question too many times. D. We should write a dairy every day to record things in life. C Why is gold so precious? Gold is wanted because it’s rare (稀少) and has many meanings. Athletes are proud of winning gold medals. Families give babies gold bracelets, wishing them good health. People buy and store gold to save for a rainy day. Recently, the price of gold has kept rising, making it even more wanted. In fact, gold holds a place in people’s hearts, not only as a symbol of wealth. The rarer something is, the more valuable it is. Gold is a golden example. Gold has been around since Earth was born. Most of it is in Earth’s core. It’s hard to dig out the gold there. Less than 1 percent of gold is from the crust of Earth. We have dug out a lot of this gold. In about 30 years, we will have no gold left to dig out. Gold isn’t just about being rich. It is also about being powerful. A long time ago in China, the most powerful people were emperors and their families. They were big fans of gold. They sat on golden chairs, wore crowns with gold, and ate and drank from gold cups and bowls. As gold was super rare, using things made of gold showed their high status. Moreover, in the past, many people believed gold was good for one’s health. They thought eating from gold bowls and wearing gold things could make people live longer. There are about 60 trillion tons of gold in the world. We’ve mined 170,000 tons of it. Many countries have rich gold mine reserves, such as Australia, Russia and South Africa. If we put all the gold we found together, it could be made into a cube like this one on the right. 46. How does the writer begin in the passage? A. By asking a question. B. By showing a saying. C. By giving an example. D. By telling a story. 47. What does the underlined phrase “save for a rainy day” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. make preparations for the future B. save a lot of money C. buy a raincoat D. there is good weather 48. Where is most of the gold on Earth? A. It’s from the crust of the Earth. B. It’s in the core of the Earth. C. It’s on the surface of the Earth. D. It’s in the center of the Earth. 49. What can we infer from the passage? A. Eating gold bowls and wearing gold things could make people live longer. B. Gold is just a symbol of wealth. C. More than 1 percent of gold is from the crust of Earth. D. People like to celebrate the baby’s first month with a gold gift. 50. The passage is written to ________.

It is more than 2,000 years old. Although there was lots of earlier information of shadow play in China, it wasn’t clearly written in history books until the Northern Song dynasty. During the Tang dynasty, shadow play became an art in China and was popular with people and many people loved it very much during the Song dynasty. People performed it when they had holidays and festivals. In the Yuan dynasty, it was performed in some other countries. During the play, the performers stand behind a screen with a light behind them. They control the puppets with thin sticks in their hands and they put the puppets very close to the screen so people can see it clearly. They tell the story by singing. Shadow puppets are made of leather (皮革). Each puppet is painted in bright colors and put on a stick. Different colors are used to show good and bad persons in the drama. Some puppets have movable (移动) arms and legs. In fact, being a shadow play artist is not easy. The performer needs to spend a long time watching and studying how people and animals move. Before giving the performance, he needs to practice very hard. In this way, he can do well in the play to make people think the puppets real. What’s more, working with others together is also important during the play, because a puppet may need four or five sticks and two or three performers to control it together. Now, with TV and films, shadow play is not as popular as it once was, but it is a symbol of Chinese culture for sure and we Chinese should develop it.
