People burn things like gas, oil, and coal for energy. They cut down trees and create a lot of waste. These actions release harmful gases into the air, which trap heat from the sun. These are major reasons for global warming. Global warming affects everything on the planet. It’s like the earth is getting a high fever. If we have a few degrees’ increase in body temperature, we feel sick. The same goes for our planet. Even a small rise in temperature can cause big problems. The effects of global warming are serious and far-reaching. For example, the snow and ice in the North Pole are starting to melt rapidly. This causes the sea level to rise, which can lead to more floods and severe storms in coastal areas. Many animals, such as polar bears, are losing their homes because the ice is disappearing. Additionally, global warming can cause droughts in some places, making it hard for farmers to grow food. This not only hurts animals but also threatens people’s lives and food supply. Thankfully, we can help slow down global warming by taking some simple actions. Instead of driving cars, we can choose to walk or ride bikes. We should turn off devices we aren’t using, like TVs and lights, to save electricity. Another great way to help is by planting trees in our community and reducing waste. Just by making some small changes in our daily lives, we can play a role in addressing global warming. 14. What is the main cause of global warming according to the passage? A. The earth moving closer to the sun. B. People burning fuels (燃料) and cutting down trees. C. Animals losing their homes in the North Pole. D. Too much rain and storms in coastal areas. 15. Why does the writer say “It’s like the earth is getting a high fever”? A. To show that the earth needs to see a doctor. B. To explain that the earth’s temperature is normal. C. To describe the serious condition of global warming. D. To tell us that people are feeling sick because of the heat. 16. The underlined word “addressing” in the last sentence probably means “_______”. A. writing an address on a letter B. dealing with or solving C. moving to a new house D. giving a formal speech 17. What is the purpose of the text? A. To explain why people feel sick in hot weather. B. To describe the effects of global warming. C. To warn people about global warming and call for action. D. To tell farmers how to grow food during droughts. C 阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后面的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项是多余项。 Do you want to be a great storyteller? Here’s some advice that may help. First, read a lot.

An ethnic group (民族) called the Tangut (党项) built it in northwestern China. People didn’t know much about it until the 1970s, when some tombs (墓穴) were found. Now, the tombs are included in China’s 2025 nomination for World Heritage status (世界遗产申报名单). The tombs are near Helan Mountain in the Ningxia Hui autonomous region (自治区). They are shaped like pyramids (金字塔) and cover an area of about 50 square kilometers. There are nine tombs in total. Experts say the tombs show a mix of different cultures. “The tombs are important because they show us the history of Western Xia and how different ethnic groups lived together in ancient China,” said Du Jianlu, dean (学院院长) of a university in Ningxia. For example, researchers found a kind of roof decoration called chiwen, which has a dragon’s head and a fish’s tail. These decorations have been used since the Han and Tang dynasties to stop fires. This mix of styles shows how the Tangut and Han peoples communicated with each other, said Du. In the 19th century, Western Xia characters were first discovered. They look similar to Chinese characters because they took parts from Chinese characters, but have a new shape. Both types of characters were used in the country back then. A scholar called Gule Maocai even made a dictionary in 1190 to help the Tangut and Han peoples understand each other, said Du. 47. When and where was the Western Xia dynasty built? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 48. How large are the tombs? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 49. According to the passage, why are the Western Xia tombs important? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 50. What did Han people use chiwen as a roof decoration for? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 51. Why do Western Xia characters look similar to Chinese characters? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 六、书面表达（共1小题，满分18分） 52. 学校英语社团正在开展“成长中的好习惯”主题征文活动，请你结合自身生活与学习经历，以“It’s important to have good habits”为题，写一篇短文参与投稿。内容包括你认为最重要的习惯是什么，这些习惯是如何影响你的，养成好习惯的建议等。 要求：1.紧扣主题，语句通顺，语法正确； 2.内容连贯，词数120词左右； 3.不得出现真实的学校、姓名等信息。 It’s important to have good habits Good habits play a key role in our daily lives. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2025~2026学年度第一学期期末学业水平测试 初四英语试题 本试卷共8页，满分90分，考试时间100分钟。请将答案写在答题纸上。 第Ⅰ卷 选择题 一、完型填空（共10小题，满分10分） 【1~10题答案】 【答案】1.
