However,doubt is far from being a weakness.In fact,it is one of the most powerful tools for leamning and discovery.Without doubt,we would simply accept everything we are told,never questioning,never exploring deeper.1 Throughout history,major breakthroughs have been made because someone dared to doubt 初二年级英语学科第2页共7页 the popular dogma.For example,Copemicus doubted the long-held beliefs that the Earth was the centcr of the universc.His doubt led to a new understanding of our solar system.Also,Galileo doubted old theories (about how things move.His doubt helped start modern physics.These grent minds did not acccpt things blindly.Instead,they asked,"What if?"and"Why not?" In today's cducation system,Irowever,doubt is often discouraged.Students are expected to mcmorize facts and formulas,and cxams are designed to test how well they can repeat what they have bcen taught.Qucstions that challenge the textbook are sometimes seen as troublesome.This "one right answer"culture leaves little toom for skepticism.2As a result,many students Tose their natural curiosity and become passive leamers. But how can we bring healthy doubt back into learning?Firstly,teachers should create a classroom cnvironment where asking questions is valued as much as giving correct answers. Secondly,students themsclves must realize that doubt is not a sign of ignorance,but a step toward deeper understanding.3 Of course,doubt must be guided by reason and evidence.Blind doubt is as useless as blind acceptance.4 The goal is not to doubt everything,but to think critically and seek truth. 16.The underlined word "dogma"in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to A.a belief that people are unwilling to question B.a scientific theory that can be proved by experiments C.a personal opinion that changes easily over time D.a historical event that is recorded in textbooks 17.The writer mentions Copernicus and Galileo in Paragraph 2 mainly to show that A.they are the greatest scientists in history B.doubt can lead to major discoveries and progress C.people should always accept popular beliefs D.it is dangerous to challenge widely held beliefs 18.Where can the following sentence best be put? "For instance,when a student questions a historical event described in the textbook,he or she should be encouraged to research different sources. A.①B.②C.③D.④ 19.According to the passage,what is one problem with today's education system? A.It offers too many chances for students to express creative ideas. B.It often treats challenging questions as unwelcome or troublesome. C.It encourages students to learn from their own mistakes actively. D.It focuses mainly on group work instead of independent thinking. 20.What will the author most probably discuss in the next paragraph? A.Ways to help students memorize more facts for their final exams. B.More scientists who made discoveries by doubting accepted ideas C.Reasons why schools should continue to discourage questioning. D.How to check facts and think logically when we doubt. C When I was fifteen,my family moved from a noisy city in China to a quiet town in northern England.I could speak English quite well,so I thought fitting in would be easy.But I soon 初二年级英语学科第3页共7页 discovered that the hardest part wasn't the language-it was the silence During the first week at my new school,my classmate Emily invited me to her house for a Saturday lunch.I was delighted and arrived on time,carrying a carefully chosen gift-a box of fine Chinese tea.Emily's mother thanked me warmly but didn't open the gift.She simply placed it on a side table.I felt a little upset.In China,we open gifts immediately to show appreciation.I wondered if she didn't like it. Lunch was served,and the tablc was beautifully set.As we ate,I noticed how differently the family spoke.In my home,meals were lively.Everyone talked,laughed,and shared stories.But here,the conversation was soft and slow.When there was a natural pause,nobody rushed to fill it. The silence felt heavy to me,almost uncomfortable.I kept thinking I needed to say something to break it. 1 tried to fill the silence twice,and both times I made mistakes.The first time,I jumped in with a question just as someone else was about to speak.The second time,I interrupted Emily's father right in the middle of his sentence without even realizing it.My face bumed when I noticed the patient look he gave me."I'm so sorry,"I whispered.He simply nodded and smiled. After lunch,Emily's mother finally opened my gift.She smelled the tea leaves,smiled warmly,and said it was lovely.She explained that in many English homes,gifts are opened after the meal,when there is more time to properly appreciate them.Later,Emily told me quietly,"In our family,silence isn't empty.Sometimes it's just a space where everyone is thinking together." That afternoon,I began to understand a differenit kind of politeness.One that doesn't rush to fill every gap;one that listens-just as.carefully as it speaks.I had gone to England thinking I knew how to be polite.But that Saturday taught me that good manners are not a set of fixed rules.They are a way of understanding others,even their silences. 21.Why did the writer feel upset when Emily's mother didn't open the gift immediately? A.Because she thought the mother was too busy to open it. B.Because in her own culture,gifts are opened straight away to show thanks. C.Because she worried the tea was not expensive enough. D.Because Emily told her not to bring any gifts. 22.How did the writer's feelings change during the lunch? A.From excited to bored. B.From nervous to disappointed. C.From angry to sad. D.From uncomfortable to understanding. 23.Why did the writer feel her face "bum"when Emily's father looked at her patiently? A.Because she realized she had been talking too loudly. B.Because the food was too hot for her to eat. C.Because she suddenly understood she had interrupted him. D.Because Emily's father was angry with her. 24.What can we infer from Emily's words"silence isn't empty"in Paragraph 5? A.Emily's family prefers silence to conversation. B.For Emily's family,silence is a shared,meaningful space. C.The writer should not speak during meals. D.English people never feel uncomfortable with silence. 25.Which of the following can be the best title for this passage? A.A Foreigner in an English Home B.The Weight of Unspoken Words C.An Unwelcome Guest D.What Not to Say at Dinner 初二年级英语学科第4页共7页 三、值息还原 根据对话内容和所给句子选项、将对话补充完整，使其通顺达意，选项 中有两项为多于选项。（本大题共5小题.每小题2分，共10分） Winston Churchill once said,"We make a living by what we get,but we make a life by what we give."These are certainly words that millions of voluntecrs around the world could agree with.

Volunteering allows voluntecrs to meet new people,try out new skills and explore career choiccs.27 Take Andrew Makhoul,a student at the University of Pennsylvania,as an example.Andrew didn't spend his last spring brcak relaxing.Instead,the 19-year-old boy decided to do something for people who were less lucky than himself.He travelled to an orphanagc (in Guatemala in Central America.28.And it depends on volunteers to stay open. Andrew doesn't spcak much Spanish,but he found communication wasn't a problem,"You communicated with:love,'according to an article on his university's website.And what he gave out,he got back,"29 "Andrew's first time as a volunteer only lasted a week,but by the end of that week,he knew he'd be back soon-because he saw love and hope. US author Sherry Anderson once wrote,"30"And this is perhaps why volunteers all around the world keep doing what they do-their work is"priceless" A It's a chance for poor children to get better care and support. B Life will be difficult,but I have the confidence to live a happy,full life. C.For young adults,valuable lessons may also be learned through volunteering.
