2025-2026学年度第一学期初四英语期中质量检测题 总分值：100分 答题时间：90分钟 一、阅读理解 (共15题, 每题1.5分, 计22.5分) A After coming to America, the use of “yes” and “no” brings me a lot of trouble, because the use in Korea (韩语) is a different from that in English. For example, if I am asked, “Haven’t you had dinner yet?” and I have not had dinner yet, then in Korean I usually say “Yes, I haven’t.” But in English, I have to say, “No, I haven’t.” Because of this, my friends often get the opposite meaning from what I want to give them. One day only a month after I came to America, I had dinner with an American student, Bob. He asked me some questions and I answered them sincerely. A few days later, I found some roommates thought that I came from North Korea. One day I stopped by Bob’s room and asked why he was spreading the wrong information. “Oh, you told me that. Don’t you remember?” he said, “When I asked you ‘You are not from North Korea,are you?’you clearly answered, ‘Yes, of course.’ Didn’t it mean that you are from North Korea?” The different use also causes problems between my friends and me. One weekend night, my roommate Mark brought his children into the dorm(宿舍). They make some noise while playing. I didn’t mind the noise since I was just watching TV. The next morning, I met Mark. He asked me with a smile, “Didn’t my children make noise last night? Didn’t it make you uncomfortable?” Because I did not mind the noise at all, I clearly said “Yes!” The smile suddenly disappear from Mark’s face, and he said, “I am sorry about that. They are going right now. See you later.” I could not understand what he was sorry about, and I just said, “OK. Bye!” After a moment of thinking, I realized how stupid I was. That evening, I explained to Mark and said sorry to him. I knew he thought that I had been very rude. Now to deal with this problem, I have set simple rules: First, take a five-second break if I am not sure of “yes” or “no”, Second, use “pardon me”, so the person may explain to me in a direct way. 1. From the passage, we can infer (推断) that the writer comes from ________. A. North Korea B. America C. South Korea 2. In Paragraph 3, when the writer answered “Yes”, Mark might think the writer was ________. A. rude B. kind C. helpful 3. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to (指的是) _______. A. “yes” B. the noise C. watching TV 4. If the writer is not sure of “yes” or “no” next time, he will say ________. A. “ pardon me” B. “yes” C. “no” 5. The writer writes the passage mainly to remind us ________. A. to work hard on English B. never to use “yes” or “no” C. to know culture differences 【答案】1. C 2. A 3. B 4. A 5. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己来到美国后，因韩语和英语中“是”与“否”的使用差异而带来的一系列困扰。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据“After coming to America, the use of ‘yes’ and ‘no’ brings me a lot of trouble, because the use in Korea (韩语) is a different from that in English.”可知，作者来自韩国，故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据“I knew he thought that I had been very rude.”可知当作者回答“是”时，马克可能认为作者很粗鲁，故选A。 【3题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“Didn’t my children make noise last night?

No, it’s not a package (包裹). It’s the amazing coconut (椰子)! The coconut is different from most other fruits because every part of it is useful. People have been using coconuts in many different ways. Here are some of them. One exciting use of the coconut is as a kind of energy. Scientists are working on using coconuts for energy because they are cheap and clean. Coconut oil has already been made into fuel (燃料). It can power cars, trucks, ships and many more. Students at Baylor University find that coconut husks (外壳) can take in water very well. So mixing coconut husks with dry soil (土壤) helps the soil to hold onto more of the water. The students also find that coconut husks can take the place of plastic in some cases. If this is possible, it will help people use less plastic. The husk of the coconut is a perfect package. It protects the coconut from harm. That’s why some countries allow people to send the coconut without any packaging. Each year, tourists post about 3,000 of these “coconut postcards”. Coconuts grow naturally in over 80 countries of the world. They require only sun and proper rain. No special care is needed. Every year, more than 61 million tons of coconuts are produced. It is not surprising, then, that people want to find so many uses for the coconut. 6. Why is the coconut different from most other fruits? A. Stamps can be put on it. B. Every part of it is useful. C. People send it in a package. 7. What does the underlined word “power” mean in Paragraph 2? A. Make room for. B. Add value to. C. Provide energy for. 8.

Building on the success of the 2024 trip, they kept the goal of sparking (激发) kids’ love for science—but added more interactive (互动的) activities to make learning even more fun. This year’s journey started in Seattle, Washington, in early May and ended in Denver, Colorado, in late July. Along the 2,800-mile route, the team stopped at 35 small-town schools in states like Oregon, Idaho, and Wyoming. Unlike the previous year’s classes, they now ran hands-on workshops (实践工作坊) : Students got to build simple solar-powered toy cars, test how different materials float or sink, and even code basic dance moves for small robots. They also held “Science Magic Shows,” where they used everyday items (like baking soda and vinegar) to create safe explosions, explaining the chemistry behind each trick. One 7th grader from a small school in Idaho, Mia, shared her excitement: “Before Spokes came, I thought science was just boring formulas in a book. But now I want to join my school’s new science club—we’re planning to make a robot for the school fair!” Teachers also noticed a big change: more students were asking questions in science class and staying after school to work on science projects. When the trip ended, the Spokes team received invitations from over 20 more schools to visit next year. “Our biggest win isn’t the miles we rode,” said Lila, one of the team members. “It’s seeing a kid’s eyes light up when they realize science isn’t just for ‘smart people’—it’s for anyone who likes to ask ‘why’ and ‘how’.” 11.

It added more interactive science activities. 12. How long did the 2025 Spokes trip last? A. About two months. B. About three months. C. About four months. 13. Which activity is NOT mentioned in the 2025 Spokes workshops? A. Making solar-powered toy cars. B. Teaching programming online. C. Doing chemistry magic shows. 14. What change did teachers notice after the Spokes team’s visit? A. More students skipped science classes. B. More students showed interest in science class. C. Fewer students joined after-school activities. 15. What’s the best title for the passage? A. Spokes 2025: Making Science Fun for Kids B. A Cross-Country Bike Trip across America C. How to Start a School Science Club 【答案】11. C 12. B 13. B 14. B 15.

There are about 20 reasons that scientists think are possible for yawning after research. They do not know exactly why yawning happens, but they do know many facts about yawning. We know that everyone yawns in the same way. First, you open your mouth slowly. Your mouth stays open for about five seconds. You take in a lot of air and then push it out. Then you quickly close your mouth. We also know that yawning is contagious. When you see someone yawn, you yawn, too. Many people say they yawn because they are bored or tired. That might be true. People do often yawn before they sleep and after they wake up. However, we know that people also yawn when they are excited or nervous. Olympic runners, for example, often yawn before a race. Why is that? In 2007, scientists found that a yawn can help a warm brain cool down. Some scientists believe that yawning makes you notice things more quickly. When you yawn, you breathe deeply. You also stretch (拉伸) the muscles (肌肉) in your face, mouth, and neck. Your eardrums stretch, too. Maybe this helps you to be quicker to notice things. In some countries, people think yawning is not nice. People put their hands over their mouths to cover a yawn. In other countries, people think yawning is healthy. They think that opening the mouth very big can let good things in. When they breathe out, they think that bad things go out of the body with the air.

For example, if I am asked, “Haven’t you had dinner yet?” and I have not had dinner yet, then in Korean I usually say “Yes, I haven’t.” But in English, I have to say, “No, I haven’t.” Because of this, my friends often get the opposite meaning from what I want to give them. One day only a month after I came to America, I had dinner with an American student, Bob. He asked me some questions and I answered them sincerely. A few days later, I found some roommates thought that I came from North Korea. One day I stopped by Bob’s room and asked why he was spreading the wrong information. “Oh, you told me that. Don’t you remember?” he said, “When I asked you ‘You are not from North Korea,are you?’you clearly answered, ‘Yes, of course.’ Didn’t it mean that you are from North Korea?” The different use also causes problems between my friends and me. One weekend night, my roommate Mark brought his children into the dorm(宿舍). They make some noise while playing. I didn’t mind the noise since I was just watching TV. The next morning, I met Mark. He asked me with a smile, “Didn’t my children make noise last night? Didn’t it make you uncomfortable?” Because I did not mind the noise at all, I clearly said “Yes!” The smile suddenly disappear from Mark’s face, and he said, “I am sorry about that. They are going right now. See you later.” I could not understand what he was sorry about, and I just said, “OK. Bye!” After a moment of thinking, I realized how stupid I was. That evening, I explained to Mark and said sorry to him. I knew he thought that I had been very rude. Now to deal with this problem, I have set simple rules: First, take a five-second break if I am not sure of “yes” or “no”, Second, use “pardon me”, so the person may explain to me in a direct way. 1. From the passage, we can infer (推断) that the writer comes from ________. A. North Korea B. America C. South Korea 2. In Paragraph 3, when the writer answered “Yes”, Mark might think the writer was ________. A. rude B. kind C. helpful 3. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to (指的是) _______. A. “yes” B. the noise C. watching TV 4. If the writer is not sure of “yes” or “no” next time, he will say ________. A. “ pardon me” B. “yes” C. “no” 5. The writer writes the passage mainly to remind us ________. A. to work hard on English B. never to use “yes” or “no” C. to know culture differences B You can put a stamp on it, you can write an address on it, and you can send it through the mail. No, it’s not a package (包裹). It’s the amazing coconut (椰子)! The coconut is different from most other fruits because every part of it is useful. People have been using coconuts in many different ways. Here are some of them. One exciting use of the coconut is as a kind of energy. Scientists are working on using coconuts for energy because they are cheap and clean. Coconut oil has already been made into fuel (燃料). It can power cars, trucks, ships and many more. Students at Baylor University find that coconut husks (外壳) can take in water very well. So mixing coconut husks with dry soil (土壤) helps the soil to hold onto more of the water. The students also find that coconut husks can take the place of plastic in some cases. If this is possible, it will help people use less plastic. The husk of the coconut is a perfect package. It protects the coconut from harm. That’s why some countries allow people to send the coconut without any packaging. Each year, tourists post about 3,000 of these “coconut postcards”. Coconuts grow naturally in over 80 countries of the world. They require only sun and proper rain. No special care is needed. Every year, more than 61 million tons of coconuts are produced. It is not surprising, then, that people want to find so many uses for the coconut. 6. Why is the coconut different from most other fruits? A. Stamps can be put on it. B. Every part of it is useful. C. People send it in a package. 7. What does the underlined word “power” mean in Paragraph 2? A. Make room for. B. Add value to. C. Provide energy for. 8. In which part of a magazine can we probably read the passage? A. History World. B. Sports News. C. Amazing Nature. 9. What’s the main purpose of the passage? A. To advise people to protect coconuts. B. To ask people to grow more coconuts. C. To show the value and uses of coconuts. 10. Which is the right structure of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1 ②=Paragraph 2...) A. B. C. D. C The Spokes Project: Growing Science Passion in 2025 In 2025, the Spokes project returned with a new team of 10 college students from different American universities. Building on the success of the 2024 trip, they kept the goal of sparking (激发) kids’ love for science—but added more interactive (互动的) activities to make learning even more fun. This year’s journey started in Seattle, Washington, in early May and ended in Denver, Colorado, in late July. Along the 2,800-mile route, the team stopped at 35 small-town schools in states like Oregon, Idaho, and Wyoming. Unlike the previous year’s classes, they now ran hands-on workshops (实践工作坊) : Students got to build simple solar-powered toy cars, test how different materials float or sink, and even code basic dance moves for small robots. They also held “Science Magic Shows,” where they used everyday items (like baking soda and vinegar) to create safe explosions, explaining the chemistry behind each trick. One 7th grader from a small school in Idaho, Mia, shared her excitement: “Before Spokes came, I thought science was just boring formulas in a book. But now I want to join my school’s new science club—we’re planning to make a robot for the school fair!” Teachers also noticed a big change: more students were asking questions in science class and staying after school to work on science projects. When the trip ended, the Spokes team received invitations from over 20 more schools to visit next year. “Our biggest win isn’t the miles we rode,” said Lila, one of the team members. “It’s seeing a kid’s eyes light up when they realize science isn’t just for ‘smart people’—it’s for anyone who likes to ask ‘why’ and ‘how’.” 11. What is the new change in the 2025 Spokes project compared to 2024? A. It had more college students in the team. B. It started in a different city. C. It added more interactive science activities. 12. How long did the 2025 Spokes trip last? A. About two months. B. About three months. C. About four months. 13. Which activity is NOT mentioned in the 2025 Spokes workshops? A. Making solar-powered toy cars. B. Teaching programming online. C. Doing chemistry magic shows. 14. What change did teachers notice after the Spokes team’s visit? A. More students skipped science classes. B. More students showed interest in science class. C. Fewer students joined after-school activities. 15. What’s the best title for the passage? A. Spokes 2025: Making Science Fun for Kids B. A Cross-Country Bike Trip across America C. How to Start a School Science Club 二、阅读还原 (共5题, 计7.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余选项。 If you are looking for houseplants that do not take up a lot of space and are easy to grow, air plants might be the right choice.

They do not know exactly why yawning happens, but they do know many facts about yawning. We know that everyone yawns in the same way. First, you open your mouth slowly. Your mouth stays open for about five seconds. You take in a lot of air and then push it out. Then you quickly close your mouth. We also know that yawning is contagious. When you see someone yawn, you yawn, too. Many people say they yawn because they are bored or tired. That might be true. People do often yawn before they sleep and after they wake up. However, we know that people also yawn when they are excited or nervous. Olympic runners, for example, often yawn before a race. Why is that? In 2007, scientists found that a yawn can help a warm brain cool down. Some scientists believe that yawning makes you notice things more quickly. When you yawn, you breathe deeply. You also stretch (拉伸) the muscles (肌肉) in your face, mouth, and neck. Your eardrums stretch, too. Maybe this helps you to be quicker to notice things. In some countries, people think yawning is not nice. People put their hands over their mouths to cover a yawn. In other countries, people think yawning is healthy. They think that opening the mouth very big can let good things in. When they breathe out, they think that bad things go out of the body with the air. Scientists do not spend much time studying yawning. That is probably because yawning does not hurt. It is just something we do. 52.
