The main task of the watch is to stay awake and stare at the sky. If the Northern Lights appear, the watch wakes the visitors up.

Whoever gets the job will get to stay in a room at the hotel for free. The room is made of either snow or glass.

Like people, some birds also like to make their “houses” look special. Bird nests are almost everywhere. People believe that birds make nests just for shelter. They protect a mother’s eggs and baby birds from the cold, wind and enemies. However, a team of scientists from the University of St Andrews in the UK looked more into bird nests. They studied white-browed sparrow weavers in the Kalahari Desert in Africa and found that these birds have different nest-building styles from each other. Some of the bird families they saw made simple nests with no decorations. Others made nests with long openings to fly into. These openings can be 10 centimeters longer than those of simpler nests. This might not seem a lot to humans but for these small birds, it’s a big difference. More importantly, the bird families work together to build them, and each bird has its own special job. Some birds are great at collecting materials, while others are good at building. “Once they started, everybody followed, and now they have a tradition.” Mario Tello Ramos from the team told The New York Times. Younger birds watch and try to copy the older ones. This teamwork helps them learn the ways to build special nests. 18. What is the common use of bird nests? A. To make trends. B. To save food. C. To protect birds. D. To show birds’ building skills. 19. What did scientists find about the nests of white-browed sparrow weavers? A. They have different building styles. B. They are simpler than the nests of other birds. C. All of them have colorful decorations. D. Most of them have long openings for birds to fly into. 20. How do white-browed sparrow weaver families build their nests? A. They work at the same time. B. They do the same job together. C. Each bird works alone on its own nest. D. They work together but play different roles. 21. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The styles of nests change over time. B. Teamwork helps young birds learn from the old ones. C. Younger birds are more important in nest building. D. Birds make a team to help each other build nests. D My friend named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a lovely boy was walking around the shining car. “Is this your car, sir?” he asked. Paul answered. “Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised, “You mean your brother gave it to you and it did cost you nothing? Sir, I wish...” He hesitated (犹豫).

And some day I’m going to give you one just like it... then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I’ve been trying to tell you about.” Paul got out and lifted Buddy to the front seat of his car.

A popular holiday activity is snorkeling with sea life in the ocean. Snorkeling is the sport or activity of swimming on or near the water’s surface while using a snorkel to breathe and observe underwater life with a snorkel. The snorkel helps people breathe when they are looking down, so that they can better enjoy the sea life. Perfect places for snorkeling with sea life are warm seas with clear water and almost no waves. For people who love sea life, snorkeling is a good chance to see amazing animals in their habitat (栖息地). Seeing these animals up close is a great way to call on people to care for and protect sea life and the environment (环境). Also, snorkeling offers people jobs. As snorkeling becomes more popular, more tour guides and boat drivers will be needed. However, some people are against the idea of snorkeling with sea life. Even though animals are free to leave when people swim near them, visiting them could affect (影响) animals’ behavior (行为) and population numbers. According to a study, snorkeling tours can cause dolphin pods (海豚群) to leave their usual feeding areas. Also, people may get hurt when getting close to sea life. After all, wildlife in the sea is just that—wild. What’s more, snorkeling with sea life may bring problems to the sea environment. For example, when getting too close to sea life, people may damage coral reefs (破坏珊瑚礁). They are important for the sea environment, because they offer food and habitat for sea life. Also, the boats that are used to take people to see sea life are likely to pollute the water. So, is it OK to snorkel with sea life? It really depends on who you ask. 55. What is snorkeling? _________________________________________________ 56. Why are coral reefs important for the sea environment? _________________________________________________ 57. Would you like to go snorkeling with sea life? Why or why not? _________________________________________________ 八、书面表达 (25分) 58. 请以“My Favorite Animal”为题，写一篇英语短文，向别人介绍你最喜欢的动物。内容包括： 1. 你最喜欢的动物是什么； 2. 它的外貌、性格、喜欢吃的食物以及爱好； 3. 它有什么特别之处 (与众不同之处)。 4. 你对它有什么特殊情感。 注意： 1. 词数100左右； 2. 文中不得出现与考生相关的真实校名和姓名等信息。 __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2024-2025学年第一学期5月阶段性调查 初一英语 一、完形填空 (共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分) 【1~10题答案】 【答案】1.
