Best of all, it had a fantastic swimming pool. One thing that always touched me about my cousins was that they didn’t think they were better than anyone else, even though they were rich. The reason was that my Uncle John and Aunt Kate made sure they were not spoiled (溺爱) with gifts. The pool was a perfect example of this. One day in the summer, my cousins were bored and hot, so they turned to my Uncle John, “Dad, we’re the only kids in this neighbourhood without a pool. Can we have one?” “Of course you can!” agreed their father. “A pool it is! It will be started tomorrow.” The kids were amazed to see how easily he said yes. Early the next day, my uncle woke up everyone and brought them downstairs. “Come on outside. I have a surprise for you!” he said. “Close your eyes.” They did, and he guided them to the backyard. “Now hold out your hands,” he said. When they opened their eyes, each had a brand-new shovel (铲子) in their hands. A look of shock came over their faces. Then, their dad said with a smile, “You can have a pool, but you’re going to have to dig it!” At first, the digging went slowly. They were tired every day. But as the week passed, they began to see their work take shape. Within ten days, they had the pool completely dug out. Then, the workers came and poured the cement (水泥). In another week, the pool was fully completed and they had played a part in building it. They were filled with pride! Years later, one of my cousins joked to me, “I never asked my dad if I could borrow the car because I was afraid I’d have to build it myself!” ( ) 25. What does “this” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. The cousins growing in a wealthy family. B. The parents not giving their kids too many gifts. C. The writer loving to visit the cousins’ house. D. The cousins’ house having a big swimming pool. ( ) 26. Which is the correct order of the following events? ①The children got shovels from their father. ②The children asked for a swimming pool. ③The children got the help from workers. ④The children were tired of digging the pool. A. ②①④③ B. ①②③④ C. ②③①④ D. ②①③④ ( )27. Why did Uncle John ask his children to dig the pool by themselves? A. Because they were too poor to pay workers. B. Because he wanted them to learn how to swim. C. Because the children had nothing to do in summer. D. Because he wanted them to work hard for wants. ( )28. What words can best describe Uncle John according to the text? A. Careless and lazy. B. Wise and humorous. C. Strict and unfriendly. D. Brave and warm-hearted. C It's normal to see ten beautiful women taking part in a beauty pageant(选美比赛). Some smile naturally and some play to the camera. Their beauty forever freezes(定格) at this moment. Like many other pageants around the world, these women are young, thin and match many standards of traditional “beauty”. But none of these women are real—everything about them, even the expressions on their faces, is created by AI. This is the world's first ever AI beauty pageant. Each woman has a famous AI company behind them, such as OpenAI and Stable Diffusion. Each of the competitors has an unusual face and personality, which makes them different from others. One red-haired, green-eyed avatar(用户头像) named Seren Ay posts photos on the Internet as she travels around the world, appearing on Miami beaches and streets of Tokyo, and she has received many “likes” from millions of fans. But unlike real humans, these avatars never look old. They don't need to be paid and can be directly owned by a company for the purpose of making money. The pageant organisers say the competitors will be judged by more than just beauty. They will also get points for their creators' use of AI tools, and also their social media influence. They even have to answer questions like “If you could have one dream to make the world a better place, what would it be?” Fawcett, one of the organisers, says they are looking for someone powerful and positive. They are not just judging beauty, but also the technology behind each avatar... And most importantly, the backstory behind them. “This shows the directions of future AI technology,” Fawcett adds. ( ) 29.According to the text, what is special about the competitors in the beauty pageant? A.They are young, thin and beautiful. B.They are all created by famous AI companies. C.They like playing to the camera and taking photos. D.They go to the competition to raise money for the poor. ( ) 30.What can we learn about Seren Ay? A.She has millions of fans around the world. B.She's a red-haired and brown-eyed woman. C.She often puts photos of her family on the Internet. D.She needs to be paid by a company to be its model. ( )31.From Fawcett's words, which could be the most important when they judge the competitors? A.The competitors' beautiful faces. B.The use of modern AI tools. C.The number of social media fans. D.The stories behind the competitors. ( )32.What can be the best title for the text? A. Traditional Beauty Pageants B.Help from AI to Create Perfect Women C.The World's First AI Beauty Pageant D.The Influence of Social Media on Beauty Pageants D The winter solstice(冬至日)is the exact moment when the Northern Hemisphere(北半球)is tilted （倾斜）farthest away from the Sun.In the Northern Hemisphere,the winter solstice usually falls on December 21 or 22.On this day,the Northern Hemisphere has the least sunlight and the shortest daytime of the year,while the Southern Hemisphere has the most sunlight and the longest daytime.And we can't see light within the Arctic Circle(北极圈).That's because the seasons are reversed below the Equator.For example,when it is winter in China,it is summer in Australia. People often think the winter solstice is the coldest day of the year.But actually the coldest temperatures are still about a month away.That's because the Earth's land and water take time to cool down. Many cultures mark the winter solstice. Let's take a look! China In China, people have celebrated“Dongzhi” as an important tradition since ancient times.People often say “Dongzhi is as important as the Spring Festival”.On this day, family gathering is a must.In northern China, people usually eat jiaozi. In some parts of southern China, families enjoy tangyuan, which stands for reunion and happiness. Scandinavia Celebrating “Yule” is an ancient tradition for Scandinavians (people who live in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden). In ancient times, people celebrated the holiday to welcome the return of the Sun God. Nowadays, people gather for the festival,which lasts several days.They enjoy grand feasts, drink spiced wine and build strawYule goats as festive symbols. Britain In Britain, some people still observe the traditional custom of cutting mistletoe( 槲寄生). It's a sacred ( 神圣的 ) plant with small shiny white berries that grows on other trees. People say it has healing (治愈)power. It is also a common tradition to hang mistletoe at home for good luck and health during the winter festival. ( )33. Which of the following shows the winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere? the Arctic Circle 回Daytime ■Nighttime A.A B.B C.C D.D ( )34.Why isn't the winter solstice the coldest day of the year? A.Because the Earth is still tilted towards the Sun. B.Because daylight hours change slowly over time. C.Because the Earth's surface does not cool at once. D.Because half of the Earth is tilted farthest away from the Sun. ( )35.Which sentence uses “mark” with the same meaning as the underlined word? A.The desk is marked with black ink. B.She marked the key words with a red pen. C.We mark the New Year with a fantastic party. D.The teacher marked the students' test papers carefully. ( )36. What is the structure of the passage? A.To introduce a festival→To explain its culture→To show its influence B.To show different festivals→To tell old stories→To teach living skills C.To talk about seasons→To compare three countries→To give some advice D.To explain a natural fact→To correct a wrong idea→To introduce different celebrations E Scientists have found facts that raccoons in the US are changing their appearance as they spend more time near humans. The researchers think it’s the start of “domestication (驯化)”, which is a type of evolution (进化). Evolution is how living things change over time to fit into their environment and improve their chances of staying alive, and domestication means changing to fit in with human environments. In cities or towns where there are a lot of people, there is often much leftover food in rubbish bins and not many enemies. So wild animals can gradually change to fit into the life here and domesticate themselves. Fully domesticated animals, like dogs and cats, often have smaller teeth, curly tails, short noses and soft ears compared with their wild relatives such as wolves and lions. A team of students led by Raffaela Lesch analyzed almost 20,000 pictures of raccoons across the US. Their study found that raccoons living in cities had shorter noses than their relatives living in the countryside. This change may be connected with their behavior. Animals that develop gentler behaviors have shorter noses. Lesch says, “Leftover food is really the starter of it all”. Raccoons are mainly active at night and are known for looking for food from rubbish bins. Getting to bins, which are often near humans, requires raccoons to be quite tame - or be friendly and not scared of humans. As Lesch explains, “All they have to do is stay around us and not be aggressive (有攻击性的), and then they can enjoy a good meal on anything we throw away”. Some experts think that the signs of domestication, like short noses, help to make animals seem less dangerous or more lovely to humans. However, not all scientists agree with Lesch’s study. Although raccoons could ever become truly domesticated, they are still wild animals. ( )37. What do we know about raccoons in cities from the text? A. They often got their meals from rubbish bins. B. They have longer noses than country raccoons. C. They often search for food during the daytime. D. They grow more scared of humans than before. （ ) 38. What does the underlined word “tame” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Wild. B. Beautiful. C. Dangerous. D. Gentle. （ ）39. What can we infer about raccoons from Lesch’s study? A. They will soon become fully domesticated like dogs. B. They are slowly developing to live better near humans. C. They have more enemies in cities than in the countryside. D. They need to be aggressive to get food from rubbish bins. （ ）40. What’s the main idea of the text? A. How people live with wild animals. B. How raccoons look for food in cities. C. What changes happen to city raccoons. D. Why wild animals have special looks. II.阅读六选五(共5小题;每小题1分,满分5分) Many kids think they are too common.

But without enough strength or support, we often feel far away from this goal and even wonder: Should we just give up and “lie flat (平的)” instead? The popular animated (动画的) hit Nobody tells us not to. In the story, the four little, nameless monsters pretend to be the famous characters from Journey to the West. They leave Langlang Mountain to set out on their own pilgrimage (朝圣之旅). Though others laugh at them, they never get discouraged (泄气的). They keep fighting “bad guys” and live life on their own terms. Their courage wins them wide remembrance (记忆). This movie is like a mirror. In real life, many ordinary people also choose to hold on to their dreams, even though they face great difficulties. Pang Zhongwang, a star student at Tsinghua University, is one example. Born into a poor family in Hebei, he faced hard challenges: his late (已故的) mother had a disability and couldn’t work. His father had a serious mental illness. Influenced by his mother, Pang stayed optimistic and took on family duties early. Deep down, this “nobody” also dreamed of becoming “somebody.” With great effort, he got excellent grades and scored an impressive 684 out of 750 in the gaokao. Pang turns out to be luckier than the four monsters in Nobody. He is much closer to his dream of becoming “somebody”. The piggy and his friends, however, fail in their pilgrimage. But their courage is now remembered by many. In a way, they, too, have grown to become “somebodies”. Now, what do you want to do with your big dreams? Clearly, if you “lie flat”, you’ll remain a “nobody”. We wish you good luck as you try to break out of your own “Langlang Mountain”! 76.Though others laugh at them , they still have _____ ______ themselves. 77. In real life ,many ordinary people also choose to ______ _____ to their dreams , even though they face great difficulties. 78.Pang stayed optimistic and took on family duties early because his mother has ______ _____ him. 79．What are the similarities between the story of “Langlang Mountain” and Pang Zhongwang’s experience? 80． What is your big dream? What will you do to make your big dream come true?

Best of all, it had a fantastic swimming pool. One thing that always touched me about my cousins was that they didn’t think they were better than anyone else, even though they were rich. The reason was that my Uncle John and Aunt Kate made sure they were not spoiled (溺爱) with gifts. The pool was a perfect example of this. One day in the summer, my cousins were bored and hot, so they turned to my Uncle John, “Dad, we’re the only kids in this neighbourhood without a pool. Can we have one?” “Of course you can!” agreed their father. “A pool it is! It will be started tomorrow.” The kids were amazed to see how easily he said yes. Early the next day, my uncle woke up everyone and brought them downstairs. “Come on outside. I have a surprise for you!” he said. “Close your eyes.” They did, and he guided them to the backyard. “Now hold out your hands,” he said. When they opened their eyes, each had a brand-new shovel (铲子) in their hands. A look of shock came over their faces. Then, their dad said with a smile, “You can have a pool, but you’re going to have to dig it!” At first, the digging went slowly. They were tired every day. But as the week passed, they began to see their work take shape. Within ten days, they had the pool completely dug out. Then, the workers came and poured the cement (水泥). In another week, the pool was fully completed and they had played a part in building it. They were filled with pride! Years later, one of my cousins joked to me, “I never asked my dad if I could borrow the car because I was afraid I’d have to build it myself!” ( ) 25. What does “this” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. The cousins growing in a wealthy family. B. The parents not giving their kids too many gifts. C. The writer loving to visit the cousins’ house. D. The cousins’ house having a big swimming pool. ( ) 26. Which is the correct order of the following events? ①The children got shovels from their father. ②The children asked for a swimming pool. ③The children got the help from workers. ④The children were tired of digging the pool. A. ②①④③ B. ①②③④ C. ②③①④ D. ②①③④ ( )27. Why did Uncle John ask his children to dig the pool by themselves? A. Because they were too poor to pay workers. B. Because he wanted them to learn how to swim. C. Because the children had nothing to do in summer. D. Because he wanted them to work hard for wants. ( )28. What words can best describe Uncle John according to the text? A. Careless and lazy. B. Wise and humorous. C. Strict and unfriendly. D. Brave and warm-hearted. C It's normal to see ten beautiful women taking part in a beauty pageant(选美比赛). Some smile naturally and some play to the camera. Their beauty forever freezes(定格) at this moment. Like many other pageants around the world, these women are young, thin and match many standards of traditional “beauty”. But none of these women are real—everything about them, even the expressions on their faces, is created by AI. This is the world's first ever AI beauty pageant. Each woman has a famous AI company behind them, such as OpenAI and Stable Diffusion. Each of the competitors has an unusual face and personality, which makes them different from others. One red-haired, green-eyed avatar(用户头像) named Seren Ay posts photos on the Internet as she travels around the world, appearing on Miami beaches and streets of Tokyo, and she has received many “likes” from millions of fans. But unlike real humans, these avatars never look old. They don't need to be paid and can be directly owned by a company for the purpose of making money. The pageant organisers say the competitors will be judged by more than just beauty. They will also get points for their creators' use of AI tools, and also their social media influence. They even have to answer questions like “If you could have one dream to make the world a better place, what would it be?” Fawcett, one of the organisers, says they are looking for someone powerful and positive. They are not just judging beauty, but also the technology behind each avatar... And most importantly, the backstory behind them. “This shows the directions of future AI technology,” Fawcett adds. ( ) 29.According to the text, what is special about the competitors in the beauty pageant? A.They are young, thin and beautiful. B.They are all created by famous AI companies. C.They like playing to the camera and taking photos. D.They go to the competition to raise money for the poor. ( ) 30.What can we learn about Seren Ay? A.She has millions of fans around the world. B.She's a red-haired and brown-eyed woman. C.She often puts photos of her family on the Internet. D.She needs to be paid by a company to be its model. ( )31.From Fawcett's words, which could be the most important when they judge the competitors? A.The competitors' beautiful faces. B.The use of modern AI tools. C.The number of social media fans. D.The stories behind the competitors. ( )32.What can be the best title for the text? A. Traditional Beauty Pageants B.Help from AI to Create Perfect Women C.The World's First AI Beauty Pageant D.The Influence of Social Media on Beauty Pageants D The winter solstice(冬至日)is the exact moment when the Northern Hemisphere(北半球)is tilted （倾斜）farthest away from the Sun.In the Northern Hemisphere,the winter solstice usually falls on December 21 or 22.On this day,the Northern Hemisphere has the least sunlight and the shortest daytime of the year,while the Southern Hemisphere has the most sunlight and the longest daytime.And we can't see light within the Arctic Circle(北极圈).That's because the seasons are reversed below the Equator.For example,when it is winter in China,it is summer in Australia. People often think the winter solstice is the coldest day of the year.But actually the coldest temperatures are still about a month away.That's because the Earth's land and water take time to cool down. Many cultures mark the winter solstice. Let's take a look! China In China, people have celebrated“Dongzhi” as an important tradition since ancient times.People often say “Dongzhi is as important as the Spring Festival”.On this day, family gathering is a must.In northern China, people usually eat jiaozi. In some parts of southern China, families enjoy tangyuan, which stands for reunion and happiness. Scandinavia Celebrating “Yule” is an ancient tradition for Scandinavians (people who live in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden). In ancient times, people celebrated the holiday to welcome the return of the Sun God. Nowadays, people gather for the festival,which lasts several days.They enjoy grand feasts, drink spiced wine and build strawYule goats as festive symbols. Britain In Britain, some people still observe the traditional custom of cutting mistletoe( 槲寄生). It's a sacred ( 神圣的 ) plant with small shiny white berries that grows on other trees. People say it has healing (治愈)power. It is also a common tradition to hang mistletoe at home for good luck and health during the winter festival. ( )33. Which of the following shows the winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere? the Arctic Circle 回Daytime ■Nighttime A.A B.B C.C D.D ( )34.Why isn't the winter solstice the coldest day of the year? A.Because the Earth is still tilted towards the Sun. B.Because daylight hours change slowly over time. C.Because the Earth's surface does not cool at once. D.Because half of the Earth is tilted farthest away from the Sun. ( )35.Which sentence uses “mark” with the same meaning as the underlined word? A.The desk is marked with black ink. B.She marked the key words with a red pen. C.We mark the New Year with a fantastic party. D.The teacher marked the students' test papers carefully. ( )36. What is the structure of the passage? A.To introduce a festival→To explain its culture→To show its influence B.To show different festivals→To tell old stories→To teach living skills C.To talk about seasons→To compare three countries→To give some advice D.To explain a natural fact→To correct a wrong idea→To introduce different celebrations E Scientists have found facts that raccoons in the US are changing their appearance as they spend more time near humans. The researchers think it’s the start of “domestication (驯化)”, which is a type of evolution (进化). Evolution is how living things change over time to fit into their environment and improve their chances of staying alive, and domestication means changing to fit in with human environments. In cities or towns where there are a lot of people, there is often much leftover food in rubbish bins and not many enemies. So wild animals can gradually change to fit into the life here and domesticate themselves. Fully domesticated animals, like dogs and cats, often have smaller teeth, curly tails, short noses and soft ears compared with their wild relatives such as wolves and lions. A team of students led by Raffaela Lesch analyzed almost 20,000 pictures of raccoons across the US. Their study found that raccoons living in cities had shorter noses than their relatives living in the countryside. This change may be connected with their behavior. Animals that develop gentler behaviors have shorter noses. Lesch says, “Leftover food is really the starter of it all”. Raccoons are mainly active at night and are known for looking for food from rubbish bins. Getting to bins, which are often near humans, requires raccoons to be quite tame - or be friendly and not scared of humans. As Lesch explains, “All they have to do is stay around us and not be aggressive (有攻击性的), and then they can enjoy a good meal on anything we throw away”. Some experts think that the signs of domestication, like short noses, help to make animals seem less dangerous or more lovely to humans. However, not all scientists agree with Lesch’s study. Although raccoons could ever become truly domesticated, they are still wild animals. ( )37. What do we know about raccoons in cities from the text? A. They often got their meals from rubbish bins. B. They have longer noses than country raccoons. C. They often search for food during the daytime. D. They grow more scared of humans than before. （ ) 38. What does the underlined word “tame” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Wild. B. Beautiful. C. Dangerous. D. Gentle. （ ）39. What can we infer about raccoons from Lesch’s study? A. They will soon become fully domesticated like dogs. B. They are slowly developing to live better near humans. C. They have more enemies in cities than in the countryside. D. They need to be aggressive to get food from rubbish bins. （ ）40. What’s the main idea of the text? A. How people live with wild animals. B. How raccoons look for food in cities. C. What changes happen to city raccoons. D. Why wild animals have special looks. II.阅读六选五(共5小题;每小题1分,满分5分) Many kids think they are too common.

But without enough strength or support, we often feel far away from this goal and even wonder: Should we just give up and “lie flat (平的)” instead? The popular animated (动画的) hit Nobody tells us not to. In the story, the four little, nameless monsters pretend to be the famous characters from Journey to the West. They leave Langlang Mountain to set out on their own pilgrimage (朝圣之旅). Though others laugh at them, they never get discouraged (泄气的). They keep fighting “bad guys” and live life on their own terms. Their courage wins them wide remembrance (记忆). This movie is like a mirror. In real life, many ordinary people also choose to hold on to their dreams, even though they face great difficulties. Pang Zhongwang, a star student at Tsinghua University, is one example. Born into a poor family in Hebei, he faced hard challenges: his late (已故的) mother had a disability and couldn’t work. His father had a serious mental illness. Influenced by his mother, Pang stayed optimistic and took on family duties early. Deep down, this “nobody” also dreamed of becoming “somebody.” With great effort, he got excellent grades and scored an impressive 684 out of 750 in the gaokao. Pang turns out to be luckier than the four monsters in Nobody. He is much closer to his dream of becoming “somebody”. The piggy and his friends, however, fail in their pilgrimage. But their courage is now remembered by many. In a way, they, too, have grown to become “somebodies”. Now, what do you want to do with your big dreams? Clearly, if you “lie flat”, you’ll remain a “nobody”. We wish you good luck as you try to break out of your own “Langlang Mountain”! 76.Though others laugh at them , they still have _____ ______ themselves. 77. In real life ,many ordinary people also choose to ______ _____ to their dreams , even though they face great difficulties. 78.Pang stayed optimistic and took on family duties early because his mother has ______ _____ him. 79．What are the similarities between the story of “Langlang Mountain” and Pang Zhongwang’s experience? 80． What is your big dream?

B My cousins were raised in a wealthy family.We loved to go to their house because it was so big and nice.Best of all,it had a fantastic swimming pool. One thing that always touched me about my cousins was that they didn't think they were 初三年级期中考试英语 better than anyone else,even though they were rich.The reason was that my Uncle John and Aunt Kate made sure they were not spoiled (with gifts.The pool was a perfect example of this. One day in the summer,my cousins were bored and hot,so they turned to my Uncle John, Dad,we're the only kids in this neighbourhood without a pool.Can we have one?' "Of course you can!"agreed their father."A pool it is!It will be started tomorrow."The kids were amazed to see how easily he said yes. Early the next day,my uncle woke up everyone and brought them downstairs."Come on outside.I have a surprise for you!"he said."Close your eyes."They did,and he guided them to the backyard.Now hold out your hands,"he said.When they opened their eyes,each had a brand-new shovel(铲子)in their hands.

C It's normal to see ten beautiful women taking part in a beauty pageant(选美比赛).Some smile naturally and some play to the camera.Their beauty forever freezes()at this moment. Like many other pageants around the world,these women are young,thin and match many standards of traditional"beauty". But none of these women are real-everything about them,even the expressions on their faces,is created by AI.This is the world's first ever AI beauty pageant.Each woman has a famous AI company behind them,such as OpenAI and Stable Diffusion. Each of the competitors has an unusual face and personality,which makes them different from others.One red-.haired,green-eyed avatar(用户头像)named Seren Ay posts photos on the Internet as she travels around the world,appearing on Miami beaches and streets of Tokyo,and she has received many "likes"from millions of fans.But unlike real humans,these avatars never look old.They don't need to be paid and can be directly owned by a company for the purpose of making money. The pageant organisers say the competitors will be judged by more than just beauty.They will also get points for their creators'use of AI tools,and also their social media influence.They even have to answer questions like"If you could have one dream to make the world a better place, what would it be?

People often think the winter solstice is the coldest day of the year.But actually the coldest temperatures are still about a month away.That's because the Earth's land and water take time to cool down. Many cultures mark the winter solstice.Let's take a look! China In China,people have celebrated Dongzhi"as an important tradition since ancient times.People often say "Dongzhi is as important as the Spring Festival".On this day,family gathering is a must.In northern China,people usually eat jiaozi.In some parts of southern China, families enjoy tangyum,which stands for reunion and happiness. Scandinavia Celebrating"Yule"is an ancient tradition for Scandinavians (people who live in Denmark, Norway,and Sweden).In ancient times,people celebrated the holiday to welcome the return of the Sun God.Nowadays,people gather for the festival,which lasts several days.They enjoy grand feasts,drink spiced wine and build straw Yule goats as festive symbols. Britain In Britain,some people still observe the traditional custom of cutting mistletoe().It's a sacred )plant with small shiny white berries that grows on other trees.People say it has healing ()power.It is also a common tradition to hang mistletoe at home for good luck and health during the winter festival. )33.Which of the following shows the winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere? 试题第3页，共6页 the Arctic Circle North pole 回 the Equator Daytim e ■ight time B A.A B.B c.c D.D )34.Why isn't the winter solstice the coldest day of the year?

In cities or towns where there are a lot of people,there is often much leftover food in rubbish bins and not many enemies.So wild animals can gradually change to fit into the life here and domesticate themselves.Fully domesticated animals,like dogs and cats,often have smaller teeth, curly tails,short noses and soft ears compared with their wild relatives such as wolves and lions. A team of students led by Raffaela Lesch analyzed almost 20,000 pictures of raccoons across the US.Their study found that raccoons living in cities had shorter noses than their relatives living in the countryside.This change may be connected with their behavior.Animals that develop gentler behaviors have shorter noses.Lesch says,"Leftover food is really the starter of it all'. Raccoons are mainly active at night and are known for looking for food from rubbish bins. Getting to bins,which are often near humans,requires raccoons to be quite tame-or be friendly and not scared of humans.As Lesch explains,"All they have to do is stay around us and not be aggressive(有攻击性的)，and then they can enjoy a good meal on anything we throw away'. Some experts think that the signs of domestication,like short noses,help to make animals seem less dangerous or more lovely to humans.However,not all scientists agree with Lesch's study.Although raccoons could ever become truly domesticated,they are still wild animals raccoons ()37.What do we know about raccoons in cities from the text? A.They often got their meals from rubbish bins. B.They have longer noses than country raccoons. C.They often search for food during the daytime D.They grow more scared of humans than before. ()38.What does the underlined word"tame"in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A.Wild.B.Beautiful.C.Dangerous. D.Gentle ()39.What can we infer about raccoons from Lesch's study? A.They will soon become fully domesticated like dogs. B.They are slowly developing to live better near humans. C.They have more enemies in cities than in the countryside. D.They need to be aggressive to get food from rubbish bins. 吾试题第4页，共6页 ()40.What's the main idea of the text? A.How people live with wild animals.

Growing up means understanding what you can do and what you can offer to the world. 42 But when you get older,you may know that just by being yourself,you do offer something to other people.Maybe you aren't the best,but that doesn't make you "not special".

One thing that always touched me about my cousins was that they didn't think they were 初三年级期中考试英语 better than anyone else,even though they were rich.The reason was that my Uncle John and Aunt Kate made sure they were not spoiled (with gifts.The pool was a perfect example of this.

People often think the winter solstice is the coldest day of the year.But actually the coldest temperatures are still about a month away.That's because the Earth's land and water take time to cool down. Many cultures mark the winter solstice.Let's take a look! China In China,people have celebrated Dongzhi"as an important tradition since ancient times.People often say "Dongzhi is as important as the Spring Festival".On this day,family gathering is a must.In northern China,people usually eat jiaozi.In some parts of southern China, families enjoy tangyum,which stands for reunion and happiness.

In cities or towns where there are a lot of people,there is often much leftover food in rubbish bins and not many enemies.So wild animals can gradually change to fit into the life here and domesticate themselves.Fully domesticated animals,like dogs and cats,often have smaller teeth, curly tails,short noses and soft ears compared with their wild relatives such as wolves and lions. A team of students led by Raffaela Lesch analyzed almost 20,000 pictures of raccoons across the US.Their study found that raccoons living in cities had shorter noses than their relatives living in the countryside.This change may be connected with their behavior.Animals that develop gentler behaviors have shorter noses.Lesch says,"Leftover food is really the starter of it all'. Raccoons are mainly active at night and are known for looking for food from rubbish bins. Getting to bins,which are often near humans,requires raccoons to be quite tame-or be friendly and not scared of humans.As Lesch explains,"All they have to do is stay around us and not be aggressive(有攻击性的)，and then they can enjoy a good meal on anything we throw away'. Some experts think that the signs of domestication,like short noses,help to make animals seem less dangerous or more lovely to humans.However,not all scientists agree with Lesch's study.Although raccoons could ever become truly domesticated,they are still wild animals raccoons ()37.What do we know about raccoons in cities from the text? A.They often got their meals from rubbish bins. B.They have longer noses than country raccoons. C.They often search for food during the daytime D.They grow more scared of humans than before. ()38.What does the underlined word"tame"in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A.Wild.B.Beautiful.C.Dangerous. D.Gentle ()39.What can we infer about raccoons from Lesch's study? A.They will soon become fully domesticated like dogs. B.They are slowly developing to live better near humans. C.They have more enemies in cities than in the countryside. D.They need to be aggressive to get food from rubbish bins. 吾试题第4页，共6页 ()40.What's the main idea of the text? A.How people live with wild animals.
