Scientists studied the behavior of endangered spider monkeys in Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula for seven years.They followed a species (called Geoffroy's spider monkeys,recording where each monkey went and when they met up with other monkeys.The team then created a map based on the animals' knowledge of the forest and figured out where there were unknown areas,such as a fruit tree that some of the monkeys had never visited. The researchers also analyzed (the monkeys'subgroups and said these groups were formed for a purpose,and not for“random social interactions(随机杜 交互动)” Members of the subgroups were not decided by their age or how recently they moved into the area.The research team concluded that the monkeys kept changing their subgroups.This way,monkeys that knew different parts of the forest could share information about where to find fruit. "Some parts of the forest are known by lots of monkeys,like a town's most popular restaurant,while others are only known by one or two monkeys,like a hidden gem(宝葭)，”said researcher Matthew Sill..“It's a clever system(体系)for sharing secret information about where the best fruit trees are." Experts said the best thing is that the monkeys explore different parts of the forest and then get together again to share what they have learned.For example, one monkey may know where the best fruit is,and another could tell when it is ready to eat."This helps the whole group find more of the best places to get food," Sill added.The team hopes to use the same research method to study other animals that hang out in changing groups. 12.What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A.The living habits of spider monkeys. B.How the scientists did their research. C.The dangers spider monkeys are facing. 13.What helps spider monkeys find more food? A.Living in large groups all the time. B.Staying in the same subgroup for years. C.Sharing information after exploring the forest. 14.What do we know about the subgroups of spider monkeys? 初四英语试题第5页（共9页) A.They are decided by the monkeys'age. B.They are formed for a special purpose. C.They stay the same without any changes. 15.What will the research team most probably do next? A.To study other animals that live in changing groups. B.To build more hidden gems for spider monkeys in the forest C.To help spider monkeys find more best places to get food. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在 答题卡上将该项涂黑，选项中有一项为多余选项。 Start a new hobby Analog (hobbies can improve your problem-solving skills and help you feel more creative.16 Consider the possibilities.17 They can be fiber arts,including knitting,.quilting(绗缝)and needlepoint(刺绣)， If you enjoy music,,you could explore vinyl records(黑胶唱片)or CDs to get a more real and touchable listening experience.There are also many outdoor hobbies,like bicycling,birdwatching,and nature photography.

A study in the journal Science shows that 18-month-old kids learn the names of things by listening to adults'conversations.They do this by watching the speakers'eye movements,catching communication signals (and getting key words from what people say. Researchers from a university in Hungary wanted to find out if"gifted"dogs -those that can learn toy names-could pick up new words just by listening.In the first test,10 gifted dogs learned two new toy names in only eight minutes.Their owners taught them directly,and seven of them could successfully find and bring the toys when asked. 初四英语试题第8页（共9页) Then came the“overheard”test(旁听测试).Owners talked about new toys while passing them to each other,but they didn't look at or talk to their dogs.The dogs were kept behind safety gates or in cages ()so they couldn't touch the toys.Surprisingly,seven out of 10 dogs still recognized the toys correctly.And six of them were among the same dogs that performed well in the first experiment. The researchers pointed out that this ability is rare ()It only belongs to "Gifted Word Learner"dogs,like Border Collies.Ordinary dogs can't do this.The findings suggest that dogs'human-like learning skills developed before language, so living with humans has helped dogs 41.How do 18-month-old children learn the names of things? 42.In the first test,how long did it take the 10 gifted dogs to learn two new toy names? 43.Where were the dogs kept in the "overheard"test? 44.What kind of dogs have this special learning ability? 45.Complete the sentence in paragraph 5 with proper words. 第二节（满分20分） 46.假定你是李华，你近来养成了健康饮食的习惯。请你以Healthy Eating Has Changed My Life''为题写一篇英语短文，并向学校英文报投稿。内容包括： 1.你的健康饮食习惯（如三餐安排时间、吃什么、不吃什么等)： 2.健康饮食带来的变化（如身体、精力、生活态度等)。 注意： 1.词数80-100，题目已给出，不计入总词数： 2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯： 3.文中不得出现真实人名、校名等信息。 初四英语试题第9页（共9页) 2025-2026学年度第二学期期中考试初四英语答题卡 学校 班级 姓名 考试号 座号 注意事项： 考生禁填 1.答题前，考生务必用0.5蓝米黑色签字笔将学 校、班级、姓名、考试号、座号填写在答题卡和试卷 C0] C0] C0] 0] [0] C0] C01 [0] C0] 规定位置，并涂写考试号。 缺考标记二 c1] c1门 cig c1 2,选择愿每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔涂黑答题 [2] [2 C2] [2 2] [2] 2] 1 卡对应题目的答案标号：如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后， 缺考考生由监 C3] C3] c3] C3] C3] c3] C3] ] 再选涂其它答案标号。 C4] [4] [4 [41 [4] C4] [4们 [4] 考员用2B铅笔填涂 4 3.非选择圆必须使用0.5毫米黑色签字笔作答， C5] [5] 5 [5] 5] C5] [5] c5] 字体工整、笔迹清晰，写在答题卡各题目指定区域内： 上而的缺考标记。 C6] 6] 6 [6] ce] 如需改动，先划掉原来答案，然后再写上新答案。严 c73 7 c71 [ C71 7 禁使用涂改液、胶带纸、修正带修改。 c8] c8] c8] c8] 4.保证答题卡清洁、完整，严禁折叠，严禁在答 C93 C9] c9] C9] C9] c9] [9] c93 题卡上做任何标记。 5.评分以答题卡上的答案为依据。不按以上要求 作答的答案无效。 选择题（须用2B铅笔填涂） 填涂样例 正确填涂 1 CA]CB]CC] 6CA门CB]EC 11 CAJCB]Cc] 2 CAJ CBJ CCJ 7 CAJCB3 CC] 12 CA]CB]CC] 0 CAJ C8J CCJ 8 CA]CB]CC] 13 CA]C8]CC] 4 CAJ CB]CCJ 9 CA]C8]CCJ 14 CAJ CB]CC] CAJ CB]CCJ 10 CA]CB]CCJ 15CA门C8]CC] 16 CA]CB]CC]CD]CEJ CF] 21 CAJ CB3CC3 26 CAJ CB]CCJ 17 CAJ CB]CC]CD]CEJ CFJ 22 CAJ CB]CCJ 27 CAJ CB]CC] 18 CA]CB]CCJ CDJ CEJ CF] 23 CA]C8]CCJ 28CA]CB]CC】 19 CA]CB]CC]CD]CEJ CF3 24CA][B][C] 29 CAJ C8]CCJ 20 CAJ CB3 CCJ COJ CEJ CF3 25 CA]C8]CC] 30 CAJ CB3CC3 请在各题目的答题区域内作答，超出边框的答案无效 初四英语答题卡 第1页共3页 非选择题（须用0.5毫米黑色签字笔书写） 第二部分 语言运用 第二节 (10分) 31. 32 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40 第三部分 写作第一节 (10分) 41 42. 43 44 45.The findings suggest that dogs'human-like learning skills developed before language,so living with humans has helped dogs. 请在各题目的答题区域内作答，超出边框的答案无效 初四英语答题卡 第2页共3页 第三部分写作第二节(20分) 46 请在各题目的答题区域内作答，超出边框的答案无效 初四英语答题卡第3页共3页
