Editor:Lily Bailey 初三第二学期英语学科初三学业阶段性练习卷第3页共12页 Q1:What do astronauts do on the International Space Station every day? Answer:They do a lot!They go on space walks,repair things,do experiments and communicate with Earth.But too much work isn't good for anyone and we all need a little fun!Astronauts play games,watch movies and listen to music on it.If they get stressed,they relax by enjoying the views of our beautiful planet from space. Q2:How much exercise do astronauts do? Answer:Well,quite a lot.Take the astronaut Koichi Wakata for example.He lived on the ISS for188 days and worked out for at least two hours every day.Some astronauts go jogging!Alan Shepard played moon golf in space.British astronaut Tim Peake even ran a marathon in space in2016 and set a Guinness World Record. Q3:Does the body change in space? Answer:Yes,it does.Everything in space floats.Imagine sneezing (in space!This means it's easy to lift things.Astronauts train a lot on Earth,but their bodies get weak if they don't do enough exercise.And this can happen in just a few weeks!These are only a few examples of the problems astronauts can have.Their muscles and hearts lose strength and their bones get weaker.Sometimes,when they get back to Earth,they're not strong enough to walk!The answer is exercise and not just a little exercise but a lot! Q4:When and how do astronauts sleep? Answer:Good question.We all need to get enough sleep,but in space,with 16 sunrises and 16 sunsets every 24 hours,that's not easy.Too many changes from day to night make it difficult to know when to sleep.So astronauts have very strict routines and wear special blindfolds to keep from light. 26.Astronauts do a lot of work on the ISS except A.going on space walks B.repairing equipment C.playing games outside D.conducting experiments 27.The underlined word"this"in the third answer refers to 初三第二学期英语学科初三学业阶段性练习卷第4页共12页 A.doing enough exercise B.sneezing in space C.making the body weak D.training on Earth 28.Lily Bailey answered the four questions to A.explain how the ISS was built B.introduce the life on the ISS C.describe the history of space exploration D.list the countries that built the ISS (B) David felt no joy.It was his second week at the new school but he still had no friends.Every time he went up to his classmates,he found a closed circle.The football team had enough players. The art club was full.Everyone had their own groups. During break,he saw some classmates throwing darts and counting the holes on a dartboard. David wondered what they were doing but he couldn't find the courage to ask. dart Dartboard Method: a way to find pi ( The next day was the Class Fun Day.There were circles all around David.Big,bright hula hoops(呼啦圈). Suddenly someone shouted,"Look at David's hula hoop."David had brought an old bicycle tyre ()He wanted to disappear.Again,he could feel the circle closing,leaving him out.The other children ran out to play.David was left alone. "Why are you in class,David?"Mr Wilson,his maths teacher,asked."They laughed at my ugly circle,"David replied. "Ah David,"the teacher said."It's not what's on the outside that matters.It's what's inside.Just like pi().” Mr Wilson picked up David's tyre and a big,shiny hula hoop. 初三第二学期英语学科初三学业阶段性练习卷第5页共12页 “Divide the length of the circumference(周长)of this hula hoop by its diameter(直径)，”Mr Wilson said.David got 3.14768."Great!Now divide the circumference of your tyre by its diameter." David got 3.1463. Mr Wilson smiled."When we divide the circumference of any circle by its diameter,the number we get is always about 3.14.This is called pi.Whether it is a shiny hula hoop or an old tyre, you will find pi..” David understood what Mr Wilson was trying to tell him.When it came to the laws of maths, his tyre was just as good as a shiny hula hoop.He realized that circles may appear to be closed but they had an open mystery (inside them.Then he read a book about pi. In the afternoon,he saw a younger group of children playing a game at the dartboard. "I'm David,"he said."I read about pi.I know what this is."The children formed a circle around David.He counted the holes and started doing the maths.The answer was 3.14159.There was a loud cheer.David was finally part of a circle.He felt a sense of wonder. 29.Why did David feel unhappy in his new school at first? A.He was bad at all school subjects B.He had no friends to play with. C.He disliked his new classmates. D.He failed to join the maths club. 30.How did David become part of a circle? A.By asking the teacher for help. B.By bringing an old bicycle tyre. C.By sharing his maths knowledge. D.By showing his dart-throwing skills 31.Which of the following has the same meaning as the underlined word? A.The children matter more to her than anything else in the world. B.There is something the matter with my eyes. C.What's the matter with you? D.All matter is made up of tiny things. 32.What does the writer mainly want to tell us? A.Growth takes time. B.Not everything is as it looks. 初三第二学期英语学科初三学业阶段性练习卷第6页共12页 C.Happiness lies in small things. D.Learning is a lifelong journey. (C) Have you ever looked up at a beautiful rainbow when noticing your friend looking at it?At that moment,both of you were focusing on the same object and aware of each other's attention.This shared focus is called joint(共同的)attention.It depends on social cuese(提示)such as actions or words that help two people to focus on the same thing. When completing tasks or solving problems,it is often said that two heads are better than one. But what does "better'”mean?In one study,researchers asked pairs of participants(参与者)to complete a search task alone and then together.They found that when the participants worked together,they were faster at finding the goal,which researchers suggest is"better"performance. You might be wondering why two heads are better.Is it simply because you have another pair of eyes or because you divide the task?Well,the answer is both!Just having another pair of eyes can make a task easier and faster,so a group benefit can be found even if two people do not talk about the division of work.By dividing the work,you are more likely to finish the task faster, though one may work a little faster than the other. Researchers have also been interested in whether joint attention improves memory.They asked participants to remember pictures and found that when people believed another person was looking at the same picture and doing the same task,they remembered the picture better.So,this suggests that even when people imagine social cues,like just thinking someone else is focusing on the same task,joint attention can help people better remember things. Today,however,many interactions()take place online.It is important to understand whether online interactions with others influence people's attention.Researchers asked participants to complete a search task on their home computers,with an imaginary partner.The results showed that people were more accurate()when they thought they were working together with a partner,but faster when they thought they were competing with that partner.Interestingly,it did not matter how realistic the imaginary partner's image()was. All in all,joint attention is an important part of human interaction that shapes how people work together and how they remember.By understanding this,we can better recognise the value of our interactions. 33.Which of the following best shows the results of the study in Paragraphs 2 and 3? 初三第二学期英语学科初三学业阶段性练习卷第7页共12页 兴相蓝还学科初二些业阶卧性练习卷笙11而共1)而 Slow Search speed in seconds Fast B Person A Person B A+B.A+B. no division division Person A Person B A+E no divi A+B of work of work of work of w Person A Person B erson A Person B A+B.

B.Competing with a partner improves accuracy. C.The partner's image realism has little influence. D.Online interactions are worse than offline ones. 35.What can we learn from the passage? A.Joint attention works better online than in the real world B.Joint attention depends on how well people remember things. C.Imagining working with others brings about better performance. D.Cooperation is more important than competition in online settings. 36.Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A.From Attention to Performance B.The Power of Shared Focus C.From Social Cues to Connection D.The Key to Effective Interactions (D) Have you ever imagined a garbage burning factory does not have enough rubbish to burn?In some cities,this is becoming true. In the past,people made too much rubbish.Cities built waste-to-energy factories to bumn rubbish and make electricity.But now,some factories get less daily household waste.They are becoming "hungry".This is actually good news for us. Why does this happen?Because waste recycling works well today.People sort their rubbish carefully;kitchen waste can be made into fertilizer(),while plastic,paper,glass and metal can be used again.There is less leftover rubbish to burn.Besides,people learn to cut down waste and reuse things in daily life 初三第二学期英语学科初三学业阶段性练习卷第8页共12页 Even so,waste-to-energy factories are still useful.Here is how they work: Arriving:Trucks put rubbish into a big storage area.A machine mixes it up. Reacting:Then the rubbish goes into a hot oven with a temperature over 850C.A Heat causes a burning reaction here.Natural waste such as food,paper and wood reacts with oxygen (O2),breaking down to give off heat,carbon dioxide(CO2)and water vapor (H2O).The high-pressure vapor makes a machine called a turbine run fast.The fast-moving turbine is connected to another machine to make electricity. Cleaning the smoke:Before smoke goes into the air,cleaners make it clean.About 90%of the waste at the beginning is gone.The ash ()left can be used for building houses,and metal in the ash can be collected and recycled again. Good points:It cuts down waste greatly,saves ground space for rubbish,makes electricity and collects metal for reuse. Bad points:Burning rubbish still makes COz gas.What's more,people may think burning can solve all problems and forget to reduce and reuse waste first. Right recycling is the most useful way to protect our home.The future will be a greener world where no waste is left useless 37.What can people do with kitchen waste according to the passage? A.It can be made into fertilizer. B.It can be sold for money. C.It can be kept in storage forever. D.It can be used to clean water. 38.Which sentence can be put intoA in Paragraph 6? A.This is where math is recorded! B.This is where chemistry happens! C.This is where physics takes control! D.This is where biology starts working! 39.Why are the good and bad points included in the passage? A.Because they show the writer's personal feelings. B.Because they tell readers what to do immediately. C.Because they give a balanced and complete opinion. 初三第二学期英语学科初三学业阶段性练习卷第9页共12页 D.Because they make the passage longer and easier to read. 40.What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage? A.To warn people not to build rubbish-burning factories. B.To teach students how to sort kitchen waste at home. C.To explain how a turbine works to make electricity. D.To introduce garbage factories and ways to deal with waste. 第二节阅读填空（共5小题：每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读短文及文后选项，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。 Looking for a good book can be hard when there are so many around you.Usually,the problem is not "Can I read?"but "What should I read next?"Don't worry. 41.
