初三英语下册试卷及答案

A Don’t be like me Dear editor, I used to be an excellent, hard-working student at high school. But after entering college, I became lazy because I didn’t know how to deal properly with so much freedom(自由). I cut classes(旷课), spent most of my time chatting on the Internet and playing cards with my roommates. I hardly did assignments(作业) by myself. Instead, I copied my classmates’ work. I felt I had a lot of time every day, but I always wondered what to do with the time. I had no sense of guilt(内疚感) because I found many students doing the same things. I had been living a comfortable life until the final exams came. I got busy preparing for it. In fact, it was the first time I was so busy in the whole term. I stayed up each night of the final week, but it turned out to be a useless effort. In the end, I couldn’t make up for the knowledge lost during the term. I failed in three courses. I was filled with frustration and regret. When I saw some of my classmates receiving scholarships(奖学金), I asked myself, tearfully, “What have I got?” I hope other students will draw a lesson from my experience. Don’t waste your time, and don’t ignore(忽视) your study for any reason. By Peter Complete the following sentences according to the letter above. One word for one blank. 1. This is a letter from ______. He is a ______ student. 2. He cut classes, spent his time ______ on the Internet and ______ cards with his roommates when he became a college student. 3.

B Thanksgiving Day is a public holiday in the USA and Canada when families have a large meal together to celebrate and thank for food, health and the families they’ve got. Now it becomes more and more popular among Chinese young people. But a survey made before Thanksgiving Day shows perhaps many Chinese don’t really understand the meaning of the holiday. Two hundred students from universities in Henan took part in a survey. According to the survey, only 10% students remember their parents’ birthdays and 16% said they had prepared birthday presents for their parents. “Since most of the students are from one-child families, they are used to be the focus and careless of others,” one psychiatrist(精神科医生) tried to explain the result. As for the students’ birthdays, 33% of the college students would like to celebrate their birthdays with their parents. “Many students chose to have a big birthday dinner with their friends or classmates. Of course there is nothing wrong with that. But everyone’s birthday is a day of suffering for his mother, so we should remember to thank our parents on that special day,” a girl student said. Some students said after the survey, they suddenly realized how little they had done for their parents. How about you? Answer the following questions according to the passage. 1. What do the people in the USA and Canada do on Thanksgiving Day? ____________________________________________ 2. What is the survey about? ____________________________________________ 3. How many students can remember their parents’ birthdays according to the survey? ____________________________________________ 4. Who should we remember to thank on our birthdays? ____________________________________________ 5. What kind of people is the passage mainly written for? ____________________________________________ C How much do you want to pay for a CD by your favorite singer Jay Chou, five yuan for a pirated(盗版的) one, or more for a real one? Wang Ye, 14, said she would like the real one although the pirated one is cheaper. “A real one is worth keeping for years,” said the girl from No.1 Middle School in Wuhu, Anhui. “Real CDs always sound better to me.” People want to do more to help those like Wang to get real CDs. This week the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry(IFPI,国际唱片业协会) asked many countries to act against piracy(盗版). In many places in China, the government is checking audio and video products. Pirated ones are broken into pieces. Piracy is in your daily life. Don’t believe it? A study by 21st Century Teens found that more than 80 percent of teenagers had listened to pirated music. They say this is because pirated products are usually much cheaper than the real ones. Why are real CDs so expensive? When a music company makes music, it needs to pay the song writers and singers. It costs a lot of money! This makes the prices of the CDs go up. Piracy is like stealing. People who make pirated copies of CDs take away the writers’ and singers’ work without paying them. They don’t even ask them if they can. So next time you’d better keep your eyes widened when you see cheap CDs, remember you’re helping someone to do something wrong if you buy them. Already made up your mind to buy real ones? Well, you should get to know what real CDs look like. A real CD has the name and trademark(商标) of the music company on the cover. The company’s address, telephone number and fax number are also on it. If you open the CD box, you’ll see the singer’s name and the album title. Most important of all, a real CD has a number from the IFPI on it. But people who make pirated CDs only need the real CD for them to copy. That’s why some CDs are only five yuan, but some may sell for 150 yuan. Complete the table below with proper words or phrases according to the passage.

It would be Mother Nature(大自然母亲). While the world was still getting over the Indian tsunami(海啸) of December 2004. Mother Nature went on showing her power throughout 2005. From July to October, about seven typhoons(台风) hit China’s coastal(沿海的) area. In August, the whole New Orleans City in the US was hit with its worst-ever natural disaster, Hurricane Katrina. In early October, an earthquake in Pakistan killed more than 70,000 people. Mother Nature was trying to give us a message: humans need to take responsibility(duty) for the earth. She was just fighting back. It is we humans who burn coal and oil to make electricity and power cars. This makes huge amount of greenhouse gases, which cause global warming. It is we humans who cut forests and fill lakes to make space for buildings. This leaves fewer trees and lakes to keep floods(洪水) from rushing to towns and cities. We need to work hard to ease(缓解) Mother Nature’s anger, or we’ll see more years of disasters. For example, we can start to use less electricity. Turn off lights, TVs and computers when we’re not using them. We can plant trees. One new tree a year from each of us can make a forest. Forests not only hold floods, they also take in greenhouse gases. Choose the best answer according to the passage. ( )1. The second paragraph mainly shows that ______.

Because a few meters high water waves crashed the walls. C. Because it has never happened in the United States. D. Because the people in New Orleans were both out of water and food. ( )3. What can cause such a serious disaster according to the passage? A. People burn coal and oil. B. People cut down a lot of trees. C. People change the lakes into fields. D. All the answers above. ( )4. The underlined phrase “take in” means “_____” in Chinese. A. 放出 B. 挥发 C. 吸收 D. 制造 ( )5. The passage mainly tells us ________.
