2025年湖南怀化初三下学期一检英语试卷

1、   There is a Chinese saying “千里送鹅毛，礼轻情意重”. The saying comes from a historic book called Lu Shi (《路史》). According to the story, a Tang Dynasty official in Yunnan wanted to show his respect (尊敬) to the emperor (皇帝). He sent a man named Mian Bogao to bring some gifts to the emperor. 1. One of the gifts was a beautiful swan, which was a very valuable gift at the time.

Mian took good care of the swan on his way to the emperor. One day, he passed by a lake and wanted to let the swan drink some water. 2. But as soon as he set the swan free, the swan flew away, leaving only some feathers on the ground. Mian was very worried, but he didn’t try to run away. 3. 他决定告诉皇帝发生了什么。He picked up a feather and kept going on his trip.

When Mian met the emperor, he told him what happened and said, 4. “This swan feather is light, but it carries my deep respect for you.” The emperor was happy with Mian’s honesty and sincerity (真诚). He forgave (原谅) Mian. 5. 人们现在用这个说法来表明好的礼物不一定要很贵。What matters is the sincerity it carries.

24、   Print a mobile phone at home. Download a film in just one second. Amazing things like these might become reality in 2019 as new technology enters our lives. Check out a few examples here.

Iron Man Suit

Have you ever imagined what fun it would be to fly to school? This Iron Man-style suit from a British company could make your dreams come true. The suit allows users to fly just like Iron Man. It can reach a top speed of 80 km per hour. There is a long way to go before this technology is available to everyone, as the suit is still quite expensive — one model is sold for $440, 000 (about 3 million yuan). It is also very noisy.

3D-printed houses

There are 1.2 billion people in the world who don't have a proper house to live in. The 3D-printed houses made by ICON in Texas may help to solve this problem. The company can print a single-storey house of 60m2 in just 12 to 24 hours. The walls of the house are made of a special cement (水泥) that looks like cream. The 3D-printed houses use less cement than normal houses. 100 homes will be built for people in the Republic of Panama this year. Each house costs only $10,000.

Huawei Mate X

Is it possible to fold your phone screen? Huawei's newest phone, the Mate X, is foldable. You can fold it in half as if you are closing a book. The Mate X is very thin, working as both a phone and a tablet (平板电脑). When folded, it works as a phone. When unfolded, it is a tablet. The other highlight of Mate X is that it supports 5G which means users can download a whole movie in just a second. But users can take selfies only when the phone is folded, because the phone doesn't have a front camera.

【1】Why is the Iron Man suit not available to everyone now?

A.Because of its flying speed. B.Because of its flying distance.

C.Because of its price and noise. D.Because of its fashionable design.

【2】What is the advantage of a 3D-printed house?

A.The 3D-printed walls are made of special cream.

B.The new technology is green but quite expensive.

C.The new technology will make the poor people rich.

D.A 60m2-3D-printed house can be built within one day.

【3】What is the most amazing development about Huawei Mate X?

A.The phone is very thin and easy to carry around.

B.There is a front camera and a back one on the Mate X.

C.You can fold the Mate X which supports 5G network.

D.It's possible for you to take photos when you turn it off.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title?

A.Our Lives in 2019. B.New Amazing Mobile Phones.

C.The Importance of New Inventions. D.New Technologies Entering Our Lives.

25、There are two terms in a school year in America. The first is from September to January, and the second is from February to June.

American children usually begin to go to school at the age of five. Most students are 17 or 18 years old when they finish high school. High school students have only four or five subjects each term. They usually go to the same class every day, and they have homework for each class. After class they do many interesting things.

After high school, many students go to college. They usually have to pay a lot of money. So many college students work after class to get the money for their studies.

根据短文内容，判断下列句子正误。正确的在答题卡上将“T” 涂黑，错误的在答题卡上将“F”涂黑。

【1】There are two terms in a school year.

【2】The second term begins in January.

【3】There are only four or five subjects each year.

【4】Many students go to college after high school.

【5】Many American college students make money for their studies.

26、Robotic Pets

I am going to predict how people are going to be with future technology in their life. I think robotic pets are going to be increasingly popular as the technology develops. At least I am going to build what I think is a strong case for this prediction.

From a neurological point of view, I do not see anything in the　way to people bonding (纽带) fully with robotic pets. The human　brain can attach (赋予) emotions to things and respond to emotional signaling. Being alive is simply not required. From how objects move, our brains infer that they are able to act with their own will　and purpose. If they move in a way that cannot be explained simply as passive (被动的) movement, then they must be moving on their own. Therefore, they　can connect to the emotional centers in our brains. We either fear them, or love them, or　hunger for them, or whatever. We can respond emotionally with cartoon creatures, with　animals, and yes, even with robots. Our brains treat things that act alive as if they are　alive—no different.

One of the opposite points that people often bring up is that they love the way their pets behave, not just look. This gets to AI, which has been developing at a fast pace. We have AI that can beat world masters in chess and go. I have no doubt we can build AI to mimic (模仿) the behavior of dogs and cats, if not now then probably within a generation.

So we will have no problem fully emotionally bonding with a robotic pet. But this doesn't mean we would prefer such a pet. One argument against robotic pets is that they will be expensive compared to a live pet—but this is likely not to be true forever. Living pets need to be fed, and they need at least basic medical care, and they may need to be boarded at times. Also, people spend hundreds of dollars on pets, __________or thousands of dollars on purebred species. Robotic pets will finally cost less in total than biological ones.

But let's get to the real reason people will prefer robotic pets at last. The possibilities for building in useful technology are endless. An advanced robotic pet could also serve as a defensive and alarm system. You could recharge your cell phone off their batteries. They could be a walking cell phone. They would be excellent companions for the elder, affording them more independence for longer. This in itself would be a huge cost saving—anything that keeps people out of a nursing home is cost effective.

Imagination is really the only limitation, once you have the basics of a working robot. When the technology crosses a certain limit, this will be a thing. Future generations may consider keeping a living animal in your home as primitive (原始的) and cruel. They may have a point.

【1】Why can we bond fully with robotic pets?

A.They can respond to our reactions.

B.They can move actively and freely.

C.Our brains can treat things differently.

D.Our brains can attach emotions to them.

【2】According to the passage, we know that 　　　　.

A.robotic pets will be cost effective in the future

B.present AI can mimic all the behaviors of live pets

C.the elder prefer to have robotic pets as companions

D.the young think it primitive and cruel to keep live pets

【3】The writer probably agrees that 　　　　.

A.live pets will serve us better

B.it is easier to keep live pets at home

C.technology ensures robotic pets a bright future

D.imagination limits the development of robotic pets

27、   Do you know how to study better and make your study more effective (有效率的)? We all know that Chinese students usually study very hard for long hours. This is very good .But it doesn’t help a lot, because an efficient student must have enough sleep, enough food, enough rest and exercise. Every day you need to go out for a walk or visit some friends or some places. It’s good for your study.

When you return to your study, your mind will be refreshed and you’ll learn more and study better. Psychologists (心理学家) have found that learning takes place in this way. Here take English learning for example. First you make a lot of progress and you feel happy. Then your language study seem to stay the same, so you will think you’re learning nothing and you may give up. This can last days or even weeks.

You shouldn’t give up. At some points your language study will again take another big jump. You will see that you really have been learning all long. If you get enough sleep, food, rest and exercise, studying English can be very effective and interesting. Don’t give up along the way. Learn slowly and you’re sure to get a good result.

阅读短文，根据其内容判断正误，正确的选A，错误的选B。

【1】An efficient student must study very hard for long hours.

【2】It’s very important for students to have enough food, sleep, rest and exercise.

【3】Going out for a walk isn’t good for your study.

【4】When you return to your study after a good rest, you’ll learn more and study better.

【5】Although your English learning seems to stay the same, you shouldn’t give up.

28、   Hello, everyone! I’m pleased to share some writing tips with you.

How do you write in English? Some people find it difficult, so they give  【1】. First, you have to be ready to face criticism(批评). In fact, you will never truly learn how to write  【2】 you allow your writing to be criticized. Helpful criticism makes you realize what skills you need.

Second, don’t write  【3】 a plan. Always follow grammatical rules and make a structure for  【4】article, as if you are building a house. 【5】 good plan may make your article be in good order. 

Finally, accurate(准确的)word usage and well-constructed(结构合理的)sentences will always make your writing more attractive. So carefully choose the words that fit your article.

29、   A young boy was walking with his father along a country road. When they came _______ a large tree branch (树枝) on the ground in front of them, the boy asked his father, "Do you think I could _______ it?"
